The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

🔰This is one of the first poems I've ever read from Bukowski so it made sense to make a video that was more personal to me. The place depicted on my frames is a small village in Greece. Thank you all for the kind messages you send me and I promise you the future of this channel is going to be amazing 💗

The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

[Jakobos]

Man you're kinda getting me into poetry all by yourself

"It may not be much light, but it beats the darkness."

[rohitnegi]

" You can't beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes " y'all feeling it?

[brettharter]

'Be on the watch, the gods will offer you chances, know them, take them'

Love that line

This is gold. I feel like I finally found the literature I've been missing all my life.
So calming and sensible.

After I found your channel and watched some of your Charles Bukowski videos, I went to the library and got 3 of his books! You made me read again, God bless you creating such content❤

"Don't let it be clubbed into dank submission... ".... simple but powerful...

Bukowski. The name that will never fade. A man of many lifetimes and a voice as old as the richness of wine.

[belindarimbi]

I'm crying, this is so beautiful. The reading, the music, all the editing. I may download it and turn it into MP3 to listen when I'm riding bus. Thank you for creating these amazing videos.

[fuckductions]

Charles Bukowski has been my favorite poet since I was 15 years old. Now, seven years later I find this channel and it brings me to tears. This is so beautiful. Thank you so much.

This channel makes poetry, poetry. My school used to force us to read poetry and i hated it and it was hard and i couldnt understand it but this is something i understand, love, and keep close to my heart.This is peace.this is why poetry exists.

this will be the next big channel calling it now

[asmrgod_]

There more you learn to do it, the more light there will be, and the more the Gods will find delight in you and grant you chances. This will create a content heart and defeat an inevitable death while you're alive. It's beautiful.

[saluvictori]

Someone once told me, after listening, that this is what God would tell humanity. Whether you believe in any divinity or not, the thought of it seems beautiful and accurate.

Stomio seems like a nice place to visit. <3

Edit: I think this poetry of Charles Bukowski is by far, the most positive and uplifting in your channel, Illneas. God bless you for making this wonderful visual of him.

[keithloren]

This is amazing!!! Sometimes I can't see the light, but, some reason, I know its there.

[collettedodd]

This is as close to going towards the light with boldness and strength to make the change as one can get. Be in the light without darkness. Make that change in your life to do that ❤️

Love these Bukowski videos! Keep up the great work!
