Breath of a Rose - Spokenword Video

A new spokenword poetry video

Is there no breath in a glowing roses dream
After the night has scattered
None so fair warms a heart it seems
Or equals a breath
That matters

When the night is over in a golden sense
Climbing up above the sea
Would you care or take offense
If a dreaming rose
Could no longer breathe

What follows until the last light shines
Within all your memories
Inside small spaces are you so inclined
To be the dreaming rose
That still breathes

Do you dream willingly, continuing to bloom
After the night has scattered
As you take each breath do you presume
That which warms your heart
To be what matters

Excellent voice and intonation. I have mentioned your accent before; it certainly lends a lot to the meaningful message of the poem.
I think we should all try this spokenvideo format.
A lovely poem. One to come back to. Right now it is my bedtime, so I am going to make this my last and take the sound and words of the poem to my slumber.
Night. Night, Neva Flores. And thanks.

Thank you Cartera :) I am so glad you enjoyed it :)

This is a powerful poem. Each question hits you. But to me, the last 3 lines of the second stanza are appealing.

[The 13th Eros]

The strands of silken sorrows flow like a river through your rose dreams. This is beautifully confessed, and moving so sweet and dark across the mind.

Thank you 13th :)

Poems are so much better when heard aloud, I think. It is nice to hear spoken word around here. It brings so much more emotion and power to the words. Love the vid and the poem, Neva.

This poem breathes the freshness of a summer day, the warmth on ones skin, sweet fragrances filtering in. "If I dreaming rose could no longer breathe" love the images it sparks. Great Poem Neva!

[Jack...]

Neva dear, this is simply beautiful. It conjured up visions in my mind of sweet blooms, alive with fragrance and color, fading softly as if love itself has lost its will to live. Unfortunately I do not have sound on my computer at work, but when I get home tonight I will be sure to listen.

Thank you Jack :)
