Voices of the Web Voices of the web are singing silent lullabies Words unheard by any ear, sung only to the eyes Messages and songs of life exuding voicelessly From wondrous music for the mind in lines of poetry They fill our eyes with pleasure words, our minds with thoughts untold As visions of a dream of love, or truth of life unfold And every word cast to the eye is like a melody That fills the heart with joy, or makes a tear stream endlessly And who are voices of the web? They are the ones with dreams They write what’s truly in their hearts or merely what it seems They scroll the words that represent an essence without shame Then stamp each verse with signature they call a poet name No matter what the verse has sung, or what the voice conveys A certain ambiguity is heard in many ways For poetry’s an illusion that makes us want for more And begs the eyes discover meaning deep within the core It fills the mind with images of what it wants to see It comes from someone’s heart but seems a part of you and me But the secret of the voice is how the words are somehow strung Into powdery phrases so alluring that they should be sung Elusive thought, elusive dreams, the tides of flow and ebb Scrolled into magic poetry by voices of the web Elizabeth Santos |

"Elusive thought, elusive dreams, the tides of flow and ebb Scrolled into magic poetry by voices of the web" Liz, this is superb! I hope this gets on the cover!

I like this very much Elizabeth. Some of the wonderful lines you put together make me smile with pleasure and that's the reason I return to read the fine works of the poets at Passions. "For poetry's an illusion that makes us want for more and begs the eyes discover meaning deep within the core." I smiled. "Into powdery phrases so alluring that they should be sung." I smiled. Elusive thoughts, elusive dreams, the tides of flow and ebb scrolled into magic poetry by voices on the web." and I smiled and I smiled and I had good time......ethome.. |
