Sounds of Life

As I hear clinks of your cups I can listen to orange sounds in your ample eyes I can hear your obvious highs as if nearing a sea Morning in a humming bee You are busy at the mild harsh and tasty sound The butter knife spreading butter on the dark dense toast For the person you love the most Eloquent silence all around Soft munching sound from inside our mouth Mingles with the wind from south The door bell chimes its beautiful tune Like the monsoon Then comes the rustling of newspaper pages The train crossing so many bridges Combines with the rhythmic drumming of the woodpecker The sound of your stirring sugar Bubbling of boiled water in the kettle They settle In a silent sound of a loud red lily in bloom at the window As rain falls in a crescendo The flip flop of your sandals Passing into your bangles clinking together Culminating in the slurp as we sip tea Real moments of pure glee A great strength Against the various wavelengths Of the bang bark bray Throughout the day

We need these types of poems to remind us to appreciate what we too often take for granted. Well described and good use of words without being to flowery. David from NZ

Probir, You have some lovely imagery in this and plenty of rhyme too. A beautiful combination of sounds which all seem to lead back to celebration of your special person. AnnaLinda

poetic to the core, the sounds of a loved one in daily routine...my favorite is the silent sound of the loud red lily. And my second favorite the alliteration near the end. Beautiful, Probir.

Yes. The contest theme called for these sounds. I could have included some more. But I don't like lengthy poems. Thank you for reading and enjoying ...
