nights of the Proms

lighting up my soul
the sound of vibrating strings
stir my emotions

love is in the air

no sweeter sound have
I heard or gentle touch felt
than an ocean breeze

imagination

the sound of whispers
can in the darkness of night
paint in true colours

a distraction

the dripping water-
is so loud that it can drown
a torrent of thoughts

a river of gloom

once more rain arrives-
how the sound of laughter is
drowned by umbrellas

Fireworks

the sight of bright lights
masks the sound of the thousands
watching fireworks

Fear

 

A feeling of unease sweeps my mind.
A sudden chill arrives from nowhere.
Causing me to quiver and shiver.

I am frozen and time passes without effect.
What I see lingers in my fingers.
And my palms begin to sweat.

I feel prickles on my back.
Unaccompanied eerie footsteps flood my ears
Unearthly shadows surround me.

With my senses tuned, I tingle,
as anticipation in my thoughts mingle.

I hear my unanswered screams,
and wonder if it’s a dream.

But its there,… FEAR

Sound

sounds travel further
in water than in the air
more atoms to bash

Voice

The sound of one voice

is as effective as many

to break the silence.

Waterfall

A single green leaf

falls with a deafening sound

waterfall in the spring.

Morning breaks

A ray of light shining in my face, warm and inviting.
The sound of rustling leaves catch my attention.
My thoughts begin to focus.

A smell of freshly cooked bacon floods my nostrils,
pleasantly ending my slumber.
And I awake.

A yawn escapes my lips,
A new day I embrace with outstretched arms.
Now fully rested, I am ready to emerge to a new day,
as morning breaks.
