This is haunting on so many levels..mostly because it is personal to me. As I grow older I can't stop dwelling on my first real true maddening love. I wonder often...does he think of me..ever. Does he remember the passion..wild crazy love..tears...missing each other as he tolled away in college leaving me behind? I don't know why..but I relive those passionate nights..days at the beach till sun sets...I swear I can still feel the sun warm my shoulders and face.. I can still smell the salt air sticking to my skin. with the promises we made. Love forever..no distance can tear us apart. But it did...she did...I did. Strangely I think of our children What they'd look like ...boys..girls...each a pairing of our souls. Why do I do this... Like she does..I wonder if Im remembering a dream..a fantasy. Was he real? Did I create him from a slab of sand dried in the sun? Or was it real..true...holding him so close we become entwined like the rose bushes...sweet beach plums...can't get the taste out of my mouth. Will I ever or die with the longing of him being there..growing old with me.. I wonder..still.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed and sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.

Its a little sad but i can imagine Wendy feeling like that about Peter Pan...

my favourite poem by Plath and i absolutely love your whole arrangement and the way you read it. So haunting, just as it should be. Amazing job.

Never heard this poem before. I love it. It's just become one of my newest favorites. Not a lot of poems are among my favorites.

Beautiful and haunting - the soothing yet melancholic music in the background adds another dimension to the dreamy, but at the same time unsettling manner in which the poem is recited.

But I grow old and I forget your name......

Not one of Sylvia's more lyrical poems yet I loved Zun Hoang's haunting rendition of the poem's simple vulnerability! Thank you.

You made me want to read her poems. The very talented. The strings, piano and waves the tecitation nuance all witched me! you witched me!

Beautiful. I'm in tears. Thank you, Mrs. Greene, for introducing this to us.

At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

A sublime treasure...I fell in love with Sylvia.Plath many years ago. A lovely reading...thank you.

What a hauntingly beautiful rendition. You capture Sylvia and the essence of the poem perfectly~~

i am not really into poetry but this one. this speaks to me... really speaks to me

What a stunningly spooky reading .... incredible

I always read and hear the poem It attracts my heart I always read and hear the poem Tears come out of my eyes I don't know. WHAY

This poem has the dark thud of a human heartbeat

What a beautiful reading. So haunting and tragic, just like Plath herself.

this is utterly beautiful…

That was intense.. :)

Wow!!! Your reading is magical and haunting, along with the piano! Congratulations 💜 It makes me dream of my musician love, who doesn't listen to my white notes.

Wish you a very Happy Birthday Sylvia. We're so glad to find you. Maybe one day I'll dedicate my book to you.

Hauntingly beautiful

Wish I could find one with her reciting but I like this one too this is my favorite by her:)

I was looking for this poem on KZfaq. Now I'm looking for you to read for me.

This poem is like my favorite song, it's amazing.

Gözlerimi kaparım ve tüm dünya ruhunu teslim eder. Gözlerimi açarım ve her şey yeniden doğar. ( Bana kalırsa, ben seni zihnimde yarattım. ) Yıldızlar gökyüzüne karışır,vals yaparlar Ve gaddar bir karanlık ele geçirir: Gözlerimi kaparım ve tüm dünya ruhunu teslim eder. Senin hayal ettim, yatağımın ucundasın,büyülenmiş gibi bakıyoruz birbirimize Bana aşk çemberinde şarkılar söyledin, beni delicesine öptün. ( Bana kalırsa, seni zihnimde yarattım. ) Tanrı gökyüzünden düşüyor, cehennemin ateşleri sönüyor. En yüce meleğin ölümü ve şeytanın adamları Gözlerimi kaparım ve tüm dünya ruhunu teslim eder. Yolundan döneceğini hayal ettim hep Ama ben yaşlandım ve ismini unuttum. ( Bana kalırsa, ben seni zihnimde yarattım. ) Senin yerine keşke bir yıldırım kuşunu sevseydim; En azından bahar geldiğinde onlar ses verirlerdi. Gözlerimi kaparım ve tüm dünya ruhunu teslim eder. ( Bana kalırsa, ben seni zihnimde yarattım.)

I cried lol

¡Qué poder! ¡Te amo Sylvia ❤!

This is so beautiful and so chilling I love it. "I shut my eyes and the whole world drops dead"

Excellent. Even so, I would have loved hearing her read her own poem.

My favourite poem.

,, I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name" ~💔

Lovely

Just remarkable

From where i can get the background music? And its beautiful

Great composition and recitation.

I think I made you up inside my head 💔

My poem

This haunting and beautiful poem reminds me of Don Quixote and his Dulcinea 😂 he made her up inside his head with his arbitrary blackness galloping in, and his psychosis in blue and red, by reading too much chivalry books😅 I highly recommend reading Don Quixote of La Mancha, it's the best literary work ever made 💙

Wow

OMG my Virgin ears first X I've ever heard this and loving it how could I've had misst this i want more no need more 😁😂😃😃😄😅

Nicely done

I bet she would have loved Pakistani poetry. She kind of writes like an urdu or persian poet.

Could someone please tell me the piano chords of the back ground music?🍷 it's so haunting and I'd like to learn it!💜🌼

no logre conocer a la chica que me trajo a este poema, igual le agradezco.

SPLENDIDA

it would be perfect for s3 of tv series " the haunting of ... "

this is so beautifulll (": if you don't mind can I use this for a video edit that I'm working on for this poem? I'll give you the credits ((:

Intenso!!!!

Plz tell me whats the background music

where is the piano from?

My favorite poet. I'm glad to find this version.. i didn't like song versions at all.

Is the background music available somewhere as a download?

really great. didn't see any credits for your work- who are you?

A fanfic about Chekov and Sulu brought me here ._.

Where can i find the background music?

What song is in the background??

Amazing! Can somebody tell me who's reading? Me and a friend of mine want desperately to know, cause we're obsessed with her voice

What’s the haunting music?

Canım çok yandı 11.04.19

What is the origin of this recording? The reading and music? thanks

😭

I think I made you up inside my head

Anybody know the name of the one reading it please, av to find out more about her voice..... Thanx

Sanıyorum kafamdan uydurdum seni 🍒

... your name ...

Wow i think this is a Lorna Shore refference for "And I Return To Nothingness"

Her husband called her ugly.... 😢

Starts at 0:24. Thank me later.

anyone here from that horror wattpad book by pixie smthn? just me? ok

Each thing is said in a pant. Thank you for your take, but no, it's done each breath gasping for air for itself The structure of the verse.

I can't help but wonder what kind of lover she was when she was in her sexual prime. Insatiable or frigid. Somehow I am able to imagine her as being either.

Why is she reading it like this? Isn't she American? Why is she reading as though she can't speak English?

The reader has too much of an accent to properly convey Plath's poetry. It's distracting.

Wow

Wow
