There is Within Your Eyes
There is within your eyes a certain light --
a glimmer sparkling like a comet’s trail
within the growing darkness of a Summer’s velvet dusk,
the sapphire star that graces clear-skied evensong
and calls the postulant to prayer,
the warming gleam of crescent dancing candle flames
within the alcove of a darkened room
that animate and golden glow the night.
It is now hushing me.
It makes me still and gladly powerless
and soars me through the spinning heaven’s heights.

Yours, is the poetic voice that marks my soul with its beautiful lashings of utter genius phrasing, flow and word choices. The way your mind constructs each poem I've read, is unique and unlike anything else I've come across here, in the deep.
This is another example of exactly that.. beautiful. A word not even close to being good enough for how this poem makes me feel.
It's overwhelming
I'm thankful I can soak in your exquisite expertise these evening.
I can hardly wait for more....

Ah! Thank you, especially since there is a "poet" here on DUP who claims that the only reason that I get "likes" is that my readers are friends of mine who take pity on me. To wit:
"Who reads you thinks you have got a lot of LIKES. You have got very few, and these few you get from your friends who pity you and send them to gratify you."
As to voice, I think you'd like hearing me recite it. But I'm not sure if sending you a recording is possible here.

lol.... You've quickly found my weakness...
Spoken word read by the poet...
upload to YouTube
(its easy)
then share the link...
Voila!
Why would anyone suggest such nonsense?
I'm not privy to any of that back and forth....
I know that I like, what I like.
Period.
Let no one tell me different.
