There’s a void where the voice of love is missing,
Though it’s present still, it’s lonely and afraid,
Like a child bereft of toys and comfort, silent, waiting
For a glimpse of dawn to make the shadows fade.
There’s a vacant sign above the hearts that feel this,
As if love will ne’er enter there again,
That easing passage to the pining chambers
Will always be a path that’s fraught with fear and pain.
There’s a wind though that wends its way between, among us,
A breath of love that whispers into fissur’d hearts
Forever pouring forth from airy fountain,
Carrying love on breeze to bring voice back.

Honestly, whenever I read your poems, I hear your voice in my brain. I can’t undo it (not that I want to) 🙂

Poor you. I know what my voice sounds like in my own brain and it does my head in sometimes! 😉

But you don’t understand! I actually like the accent!

It never ceases to amaze me that our own voices might appeal to someone else. I don’t quite cringe any more. But I still think twice before going all out on the accent. 😉

I actually try to imitate. I love doing accents 🙂
Filipinos have certain tones and accents, too. Sometimes, without knowing the actual race of one person, I hear him/her talk, even in English, and know immediately, “Ah, Pinoy/Pinay” (Oh, Filipino/Filipina). They can be perfect in vocabulary and diction, but the tone gives them away, he he.

I love them too. Not always brilliant at doing them but I can’t help trying. Sort of catching when you hear one. 🙂
