The Singing Self

A voice rings 
and seals the room-
colouring purpose,
the mind of the author, becoming 
a cry of pain and laughter, vibrato,
trembling in the ghost of genius,
reverberation, 
the shadow of desire
being the madness of man, unpaid
but selfless in this gift of self,
He is his voice, and only that,
intangible, love for sake
of love.
