Love it! My favorite German poets is actually a band named The Scorpions. "My body is burning it starts to shout desire is coming it breaks out loud" it wasn't until I was an adult that I understood the song wasn't actually about "hurricanes" 😝

CL, this reminds me of the song Killing Me Softly. Specifically the lines: 'I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.'
This song is one of my fave karaoke staples. Lolol. The Fugees and Lauryn Hill version. 🙂

I declared my love in written words,
so they never would be spoken aloud.
I imagined you would find them,
read them, tell me you feel the same,
the end of the story to be a "happily ever after".
I pulled the candle closer to me.
Passionate words always burned the brightest.

The pen is mightier than the sword for a reason. 😁
And stories can hold such power.
Cheer us up, tear us down, put us back together, inspire, frustrate...
When my time has come one day, I will have lived so many, many more lives than just this one.

Great poem choice. Impressive delivery.
But of course, I'd be partial to anything that celebrates writing, wouldn't I? ;)
I'm eternally passionate about the power of the pen.

I’m realizing more and more about myself… however, I’m really starting to wish Noah voiced audio books. This man could get me to listen to anything…😅 loving this and can’t wait to hear what is up next.
