Spoken Word Poetry

The beauty of the spoken word is little appreciated
                                                                                 in the quiet of the night I whisper
The nuance of the voice is little seen
                                                           to you though you cannot hear
The smallest inflections escape you
                                                          in the words that you see and that you read
Trying to find the beauty in the moment
                                                                 the sentences flow from my mind
Speaking the words of the deep corners of my soul
                                                                                  but no one is present to hear them
They then are written; recorded
                                                   pen gliding over page
                                                                                      (or fingers over keys)
The poetry of my heart was not meant to be read
                                                                               but spoken
