Voices

 

Tell me, darling, what is your voice.

“Spoken,” she answers. “Noise, noise, noise.”

Now tell me, I shout at her, what will you say??

“I’ll tell you of my necklace,

My bright and blissful diamonds.

Let me acquaint you with my input.”

But dearie, I shout, what if I don’t heed.

For objects don’t matter,

Contemplation I need!!

And from diamonds you feed.

So what is your voice??

And what do you make of it??

From here, I will tell you,

She surely gets angry.

“I’ll tell you of denial;

They didn’t like my pearls.”
Not a soul gives a care for your quarrels!!

The noise,

The noise that you speak of

Indisputably comes from a bus,

From a speaker.

The noise of voice,

Of true input

Surely comes from ones’ lips,

Ones’ pen,

From the blue rain

And then…

You can see that your pearls mean s**t.

“NO!” she stands,

Silly necklace dancing around her neck.

“A voice is a tool. I can tell

What I mean.

I can speak and be seen!”

Closer, you are.

I won’t tell a lie.

But input means nothing

If twisted with wrier.

What have you gained

In voicing the precious existence of wares??

“Fine!!” Now she’s shouting. She tries to comply.

“A voice..”

…Is the reason you’re starting to cry.

Yes, the rhythm and flow is excellent and just rolls off the tongue.
I like the back and forth dialogue concept/form here, it works and had me
wondering about the origins of the characters. Liked the 'lie/wrier' lines as well and as
usual find you very clever throughout but esp. the ending was great.
This is different and well put together, hope all is well.

F**k that was amazing!!
You know I'm a sucker for poems that rhyme and flow like that.
I like the concept and plot of it as well. (:

I think I'm gonna have to read that a few more times. Although it may be depressing that "I" am the one reviewing you in any feeling of ignorance from the rest of the world..
