As promised I have selected one of the voted for poems and have recorded it. Not very good quality I am afraid, all of my studio gear is packed away at present. This poem has a great deal of meaning for me and as always, both the poem and the reading are dedicated to the love of my life, Ionia. Now, let’s see if we can get this to actually work.
I miss you from thousands of miles away,
Or even just a few.
You guide my life in every way,
I am not me without you
I visit all those places,
The ones for me and you.
Like where you first spoke to me,
And life began anew
Little could I have known then,
What you’d come to mean to me.
Our love it has flourished,
O’er the deep blue sea.
You are to me, my everything.
My world, my heart, my life.
The greatest day of all will come
When you become my wife.
I will be doing readings of the other poems if this works well enough. I value your opinion in the comments.
I love this!!!!!!! I truly believe poetry is best when it is spoken. (Now if I just had that deep British voice)

Thanks, Pam. I think people may look at you a little strangely if you started speaking in a deep, British voice though.

I’m trying to imagine you with a deep, British voice.

I wiggled mine too. I stopped an hour ago but the movement continues. I should get on the treadmill.

Excellent recording Julian, very enjoyable and the sound quality was quite good as well. There is nothing like hearing such a personal piece read by its author.

I agree, Dom. There is something special about hearing the words from the authors own mouth.
