Bringing this back because ba can recite. RECITE POETRY.

1. Love Letter by Sylvia Plath. (Guess who would say it whom in the show?)

Not easy to state the change you made.

If I'm alive now, then I was dead,

Though, like a stone, unbothered by it,

Staying put according to habit.

You didn't just tow me an inch, no-

Nor leave me to set my small bald eye

Skyward again, without hope, of course,

Of apprehending blueness, or stars.

That wasn't it. I slept, say: a snake

Masked among black rocks as a black rock

In the white hiatus of winter-

Like my neighbors, taking no pleasure

In the million perfectly-chisled

Cheeks alighting each moment to melt

My cheeks of basalt. They turned to tears,

Angels weeping over dull natures,

But didn't convince me. Those tears froze.

Each dead head had a visor of ice.

And I slept on like a bent finger.

The first thing I was was sheer air

And the locked drops rising in dew

Limpid as spirits. Many stones lay

Dense and expressionless round about.

I didn't know what to make of it.

I shone, mice-scaled, and unfolded

To pour myself out like a fluid

Among bird feet and the stems of plants.

I wasn't fooled. I knew you at once.

Tree and stone glittered, without shadows.

My finger-length grew lucent as glass.

I started to bud like a March twig:

An arm and a leg, and arm, a leg.

From stone to cloud, so I ascended.

Now I resemble a sort of god

Floating through the air in my soul-shift

Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

Another one of my favourites!

The Beauty Of Writing

Yes! In Accordance Of Mind,
My Fate Was Great And My Understanding
Was Good,
Thou The Beauty Of Writing
Is Inside The Heart Of The Reader,
The Beauty Of Writing Is Bigger
Than Little Understanding In
The Eyes Of Sleeping Men,
Greater Writings Little Movement But
Lives Are Not Touched By Understanding Of
Little.
Yes! In Accordance Of Mind,
Our Fate Can Still Be Changed
Before The Lesser Mind,
Indeed The Beauty Of Writing Is In The
Readers Heart,
As Greater Than Any Understanding
The Pure Spirit Of Greatness Of Writing
Is Given From Above,
The Writers Reward Is Understanding
Of Fulfillment Of The Reader.
He Is The Writer We Are The Reader! .

3.

You, Therefore

BY REGINALD SHEPHERD

For Robert Philen

You are like me, you will die too, but not today:

you, incommensurate, therefore the hours shine:

if I say to you “To you I say,” you have not been

set to music, or broadcast live on the ghost

radio, may never be an oil painting or

Old Master’s charcoal sketch: you are

a concordance of person, number, voice,

and place, strawberries spread through your name

as if it were budding shrubs, how you remind me

of some spring, the waters as cool and clear

(late rain clings to your leaves, shaken by light wind),

which is where you occur in grassy moonlight:

and you are a lily, an aster, white trillium

or viburnum, by all rights mine, white star

in the meadow sky, the snow still arriving

from its earthwards journeys, here where there is

no snow (I dreamed the snow was you,

when there was snow), you are my right,

have come to be my night (your body takes on

the dimensions of sleep, the shape of sleep

becomes you): and you fall from the sky

with several flowers, words spill from your mouth

in waves, your lips taste like the sea, salt-sweet (trees and seas have flown away, I call it

loving you): home is nowhere, therefore you,

a kind of dwell and welcome, song after all,

and free of any eden we can name

This one's from Aru to Imlie.

Bumping this thread because I found this one. Had been searching for a long time and finally got it and wanted to share.

His voice ❤️

Edit: I didn't know that until now that it was written by him, saw in the description. Assumed he was reciting someone's shayri.

Whoa, such a talented guy he is!
