storyteller

speak.speak.
talk to me in different voices,
speak to me of a million different things
in the million different lands you visited,
tell me amazing stories, astoundingly tall
tales of unbelievable derring-do,
tell me of a million wonders, stories to
last a thousand nights,
and let us live together in those stories,
tell me of the wonders of the human mind,
let us through these stories dicsover the
joy of a baby’s smile, the sorrow of a bud
blooming, the loneliness of a migratory
bird, the savagery of sunset, or the
sudden brutality of a crimson dawn
dazzling the eye.
speak to me in voices of colours, speak of
a violet sorrow, of blue honesty and
beige grief, speak to me in the rough
sandy gray of advancing age, and in the
crispy, linen-white soft and warm voice
of a new birth, tell me tales in the
screaming black noise of pain and in
the brilliant yellow of a vibrant life-
storyteller, leave no colour unpainted on the
canvas of my mind, leave no music
out of your words, however
cacophonous, leave no small detail
untouched- shake me to the core of
being with your stories, devastate me,
raze my existence to the ground with your
stories and build me again. kill me,
storyteller, and give me life.
PS: even though posted under poetry, this is not really a poem.
