Love it! My favorite German poets is actually a band named The Scorpions. "My body is burning it starts to shout desire is coming it breaks out loud" it wasn't until I was an adult that I understood the song wasn't actually about "hurricanes" ๐

CL, this reminds me of the song Killing Me Softly. Specifically the lines: 'I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.'
This song is one of my fave karaoke staples. Lolol. The Fugees and Lauryn Hill version. ๐

I declared my love in written words,
so they never would be spoken aloud.
I imagined you would find them,
read them, tell me you feel the same,
the end of the story to be a "happily ever after".
I pulled the candle closer to me.
Passionate words always burned the brightest.

The pen is mightier than the sword for a reason. ๐
And stories can hold such power.
Cheer us up, tear us down, put us back together, inspire, frustrate...
When my time has come one day, I will have lived so many, many more lives than just this one.

Great poem choice. Impressive delivery.
But of course, I'd be partial to anything that celebrates writing, wouldn't I? ;)
I'm eternally passionate about the power of the pen.
