Michael Raven poems, spoken word September 22, 2021September 25, 2021 1 Minute

falling into this --
this tumble gliding on wings
snared by cinnamon-sun hair
caught in a dancing
sunlight cascade
framing those
oft-bit lips

draping
autumn-stained garlands
around naked ivory kissed
guided hands leading
to secret gardens
through those locked
wrought gates
to share a single
fragile orchid
blooming
within

Is that echo something you’ve added?

  Yeah. Playing with digital reverb. I like Reason’s better, but it’s more convoluted with recording vocals, although I may go that direction next time

    I’ll have to remember that for when I start attempting my own verbal nonsense.

      Audacity is freeware. Very good stuff and pretty powerful.

Sounds good, and also gives a vibe of what you are feeling as well as how, as a reader, I would interpret this.
