Best Music To My Ears Poems
Effervescent elation arises and dances to ancient echoes; the rhythm of the drums heartbeat.
Champagne notes bubble into the night sky; night music of Gaia’s children is music to my sleeping ears.
Ethereal flutes singing to the crickets,
usher me into the dreamtime and there I awaken;
an ancient being, I heed the call.
I drum along; wings beating out the chorus;
I dance in skies of cotton white fluff.
Drums intensifying, crescendo as,
Native Voices sing my name.
I am king Thunderbird and my subjects saluting me…
music to my ears.

When life is like an evanescent dewdrop,
spirits fade like ashes in a cimmerian shade
but then you smile,
enlightening like a crescent moon,
sparkling in silent serenity.
My heart floats like a sussuration of butterflies,
soaring toward an empyrean paradise of petals
yearning to stay for eternity
then you speak,
serenading like a harmonic orchestra of angels,
suddenly I feel like a blissful bard,
strumming strings of a heavenly harp.
My radiant beloved, my soul glitters for you,
like a million devoted stars, sparkling in twilight aurora.
Your voice is my sweetest abode,
a soothing sanctuary, cleansing my sins,
healing like fragrant Jasmine, dulcifying my heart,
Upon my final swan song sonnet,
do not shed a tear, for our love is timeless.
Sing me one last lover's lullaby,
even in death, your voice will be music to my ears.

It's music to my ears
when night falls quietly enveloping twilight
and the sun conceals itself from view
from my body rising in dawn's light
to the fall at days end into darkness
where I rest
My mind unwinds from the clanging of men sweating
with sore feet and aching backs
My ears still ring with the moans of work
I invite the serenity of crickets
between creaks from my rocking chair
I sit on the porch of days ending
to rest from turmoils of life's continuous cycle
of today and tomorrows
as I leave time as a sentry
to guard my peaceful moment... to rest
Perhaps to sleep and dream

I unbutton your shirt slowly
gently brushing my
hand over your bare chest
your intake of breath
quicken with every touch
finally I remove your shirt,
your pants follow in quick succession
that all too familiar urges is back…
I so much want to forge ahead
do all the things we use to do
but I stop midway
as the picture of
the two of you
in “our” bed
flashes in front of me,
it's been haunting me for days…
"Stick to the plan"
I think to myself
I play with your hands,
rubbing them slowly between mine,
before taking your hands
and using the handcuffs
to impale them to the bedposts…
From the stunned look
on your face,
I can see you didn't expect this,
words dried up
as the whip comes out
from under the bed,
your eyes pleading
without saying a word
as the first lash
connects with your chest
the scream you utter
is like music to my ears...
*I probably had some twisted thought going on in my head a year ago*

This soulful song soothes my soul
It is music to my ears
Like a long lost friend
Coming back to dry my tears
Wrapped in the melody's loving arms
Forgetting my doubts and fears
Lifting my fallen spirit
Taking me back to golden years

Evening Quarters
And far away across the fields
the tolling of the iron bell
calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken
magic spell.
Sounding out to loneliness
soothing whispers to bereaved.
Grace confirmed by carillon
they live on, who believed.
As night call changes herald summer, echoes
summon hope
the pious soul ascending with
each pull upon the rope.
Forged in fire, tuned by blade
twelve sisters harmonise
bearing witness through the centuries
for those we've lost will rise.
'Breathe- reprise' by Pink Floyd

The world I live on
has sound everywhere.
The sounds I listen to
Is the music to my ears.
The cars that go by
The dogs that bark
The wind howling like a wolf
Is what I call music to my ears.
When you wake up
early in the morning
I start to hear
the birds that chirp
They are singing a song
Just for me
La la Lilly la la Lilly
Wake up my dear.
The leaves go around In circles,
an autumn merry-go-round
Going against the wind through the trees.
It reminds me of a kickboxing match
All together
It makes a beautiful sound.
That's what I call
Music to my ears.
*You fill up my senses like a night in the forest*
You are my life
thoughts of you fill my soul.
Through rain and shine.
loving dreams brings us close,
My arms want to hold you
my lips want to burn under yours.
My eyes sparkle with the thought of you
like green jewels, in a limpid pool
We are as one
**Come let me hold you, let me love you again**
* and ** the two lines I used from

the notes carry off
passing in pace together
sounds twist in the air
Raindrops on the roof, muted patters
Nature’s symphony in tune with the wind
Its soft music soothes the tired heart
And eases the stress of worldly matters

sweetness in your voice
all the lovely words you speak
music to my ears
i feel all my sorrows fade
warm sunlight encompasses
“Drip, Drop”
Accentuates the spot,
Of my serenity
From an unusual location
As peek-through light
Gravitates
Toward my eye gates
To compliment
The scorching strip of light behind me
To compliment
The supplementary silence and darkness
Inside me
With acute,
“Drip, Drip, Drop, Drop, Drip, Drop”
Just enough,
To soothe
As the silence,
And darkness sings the blues
“Drip, Drop”
Adds the right touch of B-Bop
To keep me swingin’
Henry’s only fourteen months
And so his words are few;
His other sounds have meanings
That we struggle to construe.
But one thing he says loud and clear
Is “Nana” and, you see,
It brings a smile from ear to ear
For what he means is me!
While others have to wait until
He nails their name or rank,
I’m thrilled when I hear “Nana”
And it’s Henry I must thank.
