Poetry Out Loud

[Alvin]

There're quite a few great poems out there in this website, and I think it would be a great idea to read them out loud since a poem is not a poem until it is read.

Below are a set of poems from [MENTION=22213]Meerkat54[/MENTION]:

Some Kind of Magic

Gazing longingly into your eyes,
I could tell you why,
I saw more than just the soul in front of me.
It was a spark behind that mind of yours,
And the fire inside mine that made it set off so.
You played the heart,
I played the ace,
Together we were a full house,
That'd fallen deep inside.
We couldn't shake this even if we tried,
No stopping the life we were to share.
It was like some kind of magic,
Had stepped into my heart,
And held out its hand,
To reach yours.

A Race Against Time

The struggle it faded,
As the light I shaded,
I drove all night,
In a race against time.

Darkness left behind me,
Yet I knew it followed free,
Cruising in the night,
In its race against time.

Speed had changed its game,
For I gave it a new flame,
And the crows it vastly shined,
In their race against time.

The car itself was a strobe light,
Amidst the blurs around my flight,
The illusion it made kept me fine,
Rolling in my race against time.

All Alone

Whilst you dragged and drank behind those lies,
Ignoring me with those rocks you smoked,
I could barely see you through the mist,
I'd almost forgotten what you looked like,
Were it not for the door from which you sat idly by,
I'd never have moved on to be better off all alone.

Hopefully my rendition will satisfy the very beauty of those inspiring works.
