When You Speak

When You Speak

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

  

When you speak of the future

I feel the warmth of a sunrise.

 

When you speak of love

I feel my heart growing stronger

 

When you speak of loss

I feel teardrops drench my soul

 

When you speak of life

I feel a seed of growth in my mind

 

When you speak of hope

I feel humanity smiling upon me.

 

When you speak I hear

Every single syllable

Cause when you speak

I feel sincerity grace my world.

 

So when you speak

I learn more of who I am

And every time I hear you speak

I’m a better man for listening.

This is a brilliant piece of work, and somewhat Shakespearean. Sonnet 130 comes to mind - have a read if you haven't all ready ;)
This line stands out for me:
"When you speak of loss
I feel teardrops drench my soul" because the speaker's reaction is almost an overreaction.. melodramatic if you will. But with the final line of the last stanza: "I'm a better man for listening", I feel that the speaker has grown a little more mature and has learnt to control his feelings. Whatever the original intention though, well done and keep it up!

This is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to whoever this is about. It must be wonderful to find someone who moves you to this degree and makes you feel so deeply.
