Listen to poem:
In the dimly lit room, an expensive haze A lone lampshade casts a melancholy gaze. Its weary glow illuminates the despair. As the blues bear hold, filling the air. A shattered heart's anthem, a soulful refrain, Echoes through the room, causing hearts to strain. The notes of sorrow dance in the smokey haze. Tales of lost love and shattered dreams blaze. Each strum of the guitar, each mournful chord Tells the story of a love that's been ignored. The singer's voice, raspy and bruised Carries the weight of the blues. In the spotlight's glare, he stands alone. His heartache was exposed, and his pain clearly shown. The audience, captured by his raw emotion, Sinks deeper into the blues' devotion. The rhythm pulses such as heartbeat ache. As the lyrics weave a tale of love's mistake. The room becomes a sanctuary of despair. Where broken souls find solace in the air. The expensive drinks flow such as tears. As the crowd drowns their sorrows, numbing their fears. But the lampshade knows the truth they seek. That the blues won't fade, no matter how they speak.

This is one of the best rhymes i have read ever, the storytelling and imagery is so profound and so creative and really took me through journey of angst and despair. And descriptive scenario that feels like a scene worth reading. You are truly really good in rhymes and is one of the best ive read here on instagram for not just the way you are so detail oriented but because of your sumptuous diction. Love this

Great poem, good example, Lasaad. I also like that the audio you've used as a faster pace, the slower ones just make me loose interest.
