The City Of Souls Poem by Unwritten Soul

The City Of Souls

Rating: 5.0


I'm the lost whispers of wind tonight
Travelling east to west
Moving through up and down
Like a roller coaster
Wandering around
In the city of souls

I've listened to needs to be filled
I've heard desires to be real
And voices of someone praying
Looking for hopes, and some just left empty
Yet these cant be seen, as never been showed
They just scattering around the roads
In each street of this city
This city of souls
Where the emotions are the sky scrappers
Demanding to be heard
Voice through survival
But hidden in physical barrier
Because we are too absorbed for self
Because everyone has their own matter to think
Still I hear it all, as all travel with me
I am the lost wind moving around
Yes I am the lost wind

I am the lost whispers of summer breeze
That move along the breaths of many
In the city of souls
I grasp them and hold
There are anxiety, in bliss, happy, mourning, praying and worry
Everything just mixed as one in the air
In a gust of blow, where wind and breath
we ride invicibly together
Without knowing whose they belong to
The dark side of appearance identities
Whoever we are, everyone has a story
In this city of souls

Yet we have fixed of what make our life successful
Aiming for skycrappers desires,
Defining happiness through various lenses
From all fixed thoughts, politics, unclear rules, society fallacy and perceptions
Then we all fall in deepest valley
I've gone through long enough as a lost wind
I've learned much so now i could be free
I would be just me to live my life
Something simple, be happy as i want and free
I'll survive
Because I'd survived
Before...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
As i said...before i love to try something new this year thats why i tried to do a monologue..

Things come to me as I love walking around at one night, some thoughts scattering and then i put my mind to observe life around me...everybody just busy with their business..yeah life is always busy and..we try to learn but it forever mystery to us..we can see people around, their face but never what inside them, the lesson they gained...these things just roaming in my thoughts, struggling in society.
City of souls are refering to living in crowded place with different height of emotions and expression that never be seen but it does live inside...if they are like building we can see how much it build us as society...i left the rest to you to explore if you would be a wind once...through this monologue...

Sorry if my voice here quite slow and unclear..i always have husky voice when i speak slowly but i dont speak loud hahahaha, thanks for reading/listening

It is a beautiful monologue with a very fine rhythm, like a gentle breeze running through it. I'll put it in my favourites, Soul!

Beautiful poem with a fantastic beginning. The title of this poem has been properly justified. We see people around us, their face but not what inside them. Dear Soul, it has been well observed by you. It may be quoted... I am the lost whispers of summer breeze That move along the breaths of many In the city of souls I grasp them and hold There are anxiety, in bliss, happy, mourning, praying and worry Everything just mixed as one in the air In a gust of blow, where wind and breath we ride invicibly together Without knowing whose they belong to The dark side of appearance identities Whoever we are, everyone has a story In this city of souls.. Brilliant write with monologue. Thank u.

I do not think I have ever read such a powerful beginning to a poem before- -every word has been carefully chosen for its texture and sounds and imagery. Wow! I am staggered: I'm the lost whispers of wind tonight Travelling east to west Moving through up and down Like a roller coaster Wandering around In the city of souls. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -am captivated by the W words and the hissing of the S sounds in City of Souls. Extraordinary attention to detail here. 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
