Hello everyone! I'm going to try something new here (let me know if this has been done before or if there is an existing thread).

I would like to not only post my poetry, but I would like to read it to you. I believe that every poet hears their poems a certain way and the way that it is read is like verbal art!

Join me by posting your poetry and audio files of you reading your poems or your favorite poems!

Thank you!

Ok, so I was going to start with my own work but I can't get the audio file to attach, anyone have any ideas as to how to do that? haha

Thanks

Wouldn't you just upload it somewhere and post the link here? Or is that what you tried?

hark! there are are no angels here to night (kidding heh)

light sun falls upon the cheeks of a dimpled dire

flakes blaze from a hot sun urging desire

too much we say!

grass falls over the skin as you take steady steps

music sets down from the clouds as you dream

reaching out- it is so close that your wet lips drip

your heart is pounding as it comes to your rescue

HELP! You say, I am so close!!

But are you willing to die- for it- a voice in your head speaks

No you say, but you reach anyway~!!!

ANd you fallllllllllllllllll...... and wake

cold sweat glistening your forehead and pillow

best friend and soul mate- calming you with their sleeping breath

this world- is many layers- who knows where we truly are

but that what you've reached for.. in your dreams...

[Justin Opmeer]

White velvet curtains dance over my bedroom floor
The winter breeze haunts me through the cracks
The window left opened
Freezing the life right out of me

I lament to the Heavens
Please bear with me in strife
Help me fight these demons
That fight me every night

Love dawns near
Giving me energy with a shock
Now is no time for fear
I really have to get up..

[ToxicatedRose]

Everyone's poetry is so good! I'm nervous on posting mine, can I please have honest praise/criticism? Merci

Unsoundness in our nature, but not our destiny
Arched with mellow magic, just uncertainty,
From each ethereal cloud, to the rippling sea,
Hope is our shield, dreaming is our key.

Unsoundness in our being, but not within our soul,
We stand here as equals, verdant fields loll,
Too many times does malign, nullify our goals,
Languid minds and corrupt hearts, they always take their toll.

Unsoundness in our fibres, but not within our sight,
Boars strike with zeal, plumed swans take their flight,
Politicians pertinacious, poets flourish might,
The sun embraces the horizon, and in seeps the night,

Unsoundness in our tears, but far from our joys,
Columns of glass let through the light, but prevent the noise,
There's always valour within us, sometimes it can be coy,
All spirits are united, the world our finite toy.

Alrighty then.

I scream my roar out to the world but it's unreal.
I can t scream! 'cause my scream won't bother anyone –won't bother me.
I fall from the rooftop and it's still a myth.
My falling also contractual –no mighty break, no peace.
I light a cigarette and I feel compressed.
Too angry to cry, too angry to calm down.
Door bell. What? Who?
Forgotten arms, forgotten smiles.
I'm not crying. I fell off the rooftop of the world. No, I'm not hurt.
Twisted arms, twisted hair and fabric.
Greed. No... not pain. Flaming greed 'cause we will be in this world tomorrow too.
Far and forgotten again.
Sweet breeze.
That s a beautiful sheet.
I light a cigarette and I feel shed, melted.
I let my spirits take a walk around the moon.
Of course they'll be back.

I don't know.. why i try so hard... to be someone.. i'm not anymore...
I just want.. this life to be... something just. a little more easy...
And I don't know.. where I will go.. whether East, West, OR INTO THE SNOW OH OH OHA
nd if you are my friend tonight... dream with me, no need for the headlights
dream with me, no Need for the Headli i i ights...

So now its only... me and you.. shall we start by saying how we can improve?
Or shall we seek to be wary and cautious, or is that bleak, too scary and nautious?
Or shall we stall for something better, after all, it is such beautiful weather
But who will take the lead in this, between You and I and HOPEFULNESSSSS

Let me go first, since I'm writing the lyrics, I'm here for you, in more than appearance
Wherever you go, I can go with you, it isn't hard, there's no need to be wistful
I won't push, and like a bird, you can feel free, to sing out your words
And if you want, you can attack me, I can take it, I'm trained in battling
If not the moon, is grand in its splendor, I will stay, my hands untethered
And should you want to fly don't be fearful, together we can always ask for a miracle :)

Now if you choose to start instead, might I suggest, my heart not my head?
See if you start by picking my brain, you'll have to tell me why there's so much pain..
But if you instead just open my heart, just find the switch, and turn off the dark..
And when you finally reach my soul.. turn up the temp, because I"VE BEEN COLLLD

Now if this works, and we are destined for more
Have you heard of a thin line between love and war?
No matter where, whether in forests or churches
Is it not worth it, to reach for a purpose...

Time. What is Time?

Time can heal all that you want to acknowledge and accept within yourself in order to deduce the inner peace and sanctuary which we all seek.
Time is something which allows you to experience all that a person can throughout their lives in a manner which they would not have ever been able to quantify or to expect.

Time is with us. We still have time.

1- I dont know and I don t know.. anymore....
2- What I need... it does not Resonate with Me......
1- No I don't know no I don't know... anymore...
2-When the sea... comes Rushing up to Mee...

Shall I swim or shall I float,
where is the hope I see no boat
and will you be there, to pull me in Lord
or let me drown, in my own sin

Undress the truth down to its bare skin
Let everyone see where you have often
Bared your soul and cried for more
please Open Lord I'm At Yo Door...
