Song

O lady, when the tipped cup of the moon blessed you
You became soft fire with a cloud's grace;
The difficult stars swam for eyes in your face;
You stood, and your shadow was my place:
You turned, your shadow turned to ice

O my lady.

O lady, when the sea caressed you
You were a marble of foam, but dumb.
When will the stone open its tomb?
When will the waves give over their foam?
You will not die, nor come home,

O my lady.

O lady, when the wind kissed you
You made him music for you were a shaped shell.
I follow the waters and the wind still
Since my heart heard it and all to pieces fell
Which your lovers stole, meaning ill,

O my lady.

O lady, consider when I shall have lost you
The moon's full hands, scattering waste,
The sea's hands, dark from the world's breast,
The world's decay where the wind's hands have passed,
And my head, worn out with love, at rest
In my hands, and my hands full of dust,

O my lady.

I hope you´ll enjoy his beautiful voice and beautiful poem!!
Music: Twilight Score Soudtrack - Edward Cullen - The Meadow or Yiruma - River flows in you

i think i'm going to die...

[Jjannika25]

@mysweetsmile23 Nooo! Why would you?

[mysweetsmile23]

@Jjannika25 because that luscious, velvety voice is too much for me to handle!

[Jjannika25]

@mysweetsmile23 Haha, I thought so.. :D I understand.. :) His voice is.. just.. amazing.. :)

This is so lovely. Richard Armitage's voice makes me melt.

Why can't we still write and express ourselves this way?

[beckyontheroad]

Listening to him I find I actually begin to breathe faster, and my cheeks feel hot. I have already read the "Lords of the North" but I ordered an unabridged copy of the audiobook yesterday when I found out that it was read (more like performed) by Richard Armitage. If you want unabridged, you have to order it from the UK. There's an excerpt of it on YouTube somewhere if you're interested.

It doesn't matter what he is reading. Just let me sink into the depths of that sumptuous voice. RA has got it ALL.

@lavennovell: I guess, most people don't have the time or the inclination to do so. I wish I could find the remedy... Thank you for your answer

[lavennovell]

@karchontia73 yeah, you're absolutely right, why can't we?

[karchontia73]

@silversilver87: You are probably right, I can count quite a few just right now. But sometimes someone needs a bit more than today's language. Thank you anyway for your answer.

[silversliver87]

@karchontia73 hmm, I think people still do. It just doesn't sound like that, b/c we use language differently now--words and ideas have changed. But there are countless songs/poems out there that are just as expressive, I think.

Ok, what did he say? Something about loving a lady and the ocean...um I think I need to watch it again just to hear his voice.
