Hummed poetic waves,
Soothing whispers of the sea;
Calm reciting surge....

As she went, she hummed a pleasant tune....

chasing ripples
through hummed interludes,

Murmurs in the wind
Like those echoes from within
Whispering thy name
Like a song hummed by cherubs
Serenading my lost soul....

Low praises, my dear
These hollow hymns, I have hummed
Vile verses shouted 

Heretic’s testimonies
Sinful sermons to deaf ears...

soft and gentle lips,
                             birds hummed ,bells ring in the air

Whispers though the trees,
Woodland hymns are hummed aloud:
Secrets of the trees.

Come to me
Now my dear
Bride to be


Nothing to fear
Early love balloons 
Year after year

Birth hummed tunes
When we’re free
Our garden blooms.

The sun looked tired this morning
Yawning stretched shadows over silent birds
Teasing nighttimes sleeping flowers
As its lazy snooze alarm hummed idly

Early stars 
timidly wink
through leafy boughs,

twinkling 
twilight secrets
only the Beloved knows,

kept, hummed 
by the evening breeze
as it softly blows....

The Vicar sniffed searching for the culprit
As it rose it overtook the pulpit
Stained glass windows wept
As the brimstone crept
The choir hummed so as not to gulp it

transient in its glazed luster

coasting through windsong petals

russet sun bathes morning eyes

to spark my hummed wish!

The stiffened 
 star strummed streams
of half hummed hopes 
and dismally 
dismantled dreams.
Wistfully washing 
through the 
withering woodlands 
of the worldly 
wandering truth
 to what this
 life really means ....

Here I stand
In the arms of a comely apocalypse
Foreseeing my deathly fortune
Reality never served as a good friend

But it was in that moment
When the sun shed her darkly grin
And hummed a song of comfort
In the mass of increasing terror...

The marvel of you Curled and soft, Embraced me With unfurled delite... Gently sprung love Is the
 measure of you, Hovering uncrushed atop Fresh morning dew... Behold my loves gift A treasure to see,
 As my spirit hummed Delicious and free....

Pink and yellow flowers;
Distinguished
And boastful
In their exuberating 
Colours, 

Braced themselves
On tender stalks
Of watery greens,

While Butterflies
Dressed as Red Barons, 
Hovered and hummed
And flapped
Their Scarlet wings 
Feverishly....

Rasping like fleas
In August
the barn roof leaked
The plums hummed full of bees
the sweet nectar captivating

The children's heads nodding like flowers
and Mother couldn't care
Her form shrugging away
Presumably she would leave for home, unlit...

What a pleasant exchange.
We were happy to see each other.
I can sense you think I still love you.
I wondered when you had become a mind 
reader.
We said good-bye again,
I watched you walk away.
I hummed our favorite song.
It echoed.

The pretty ones
are always
so pathetic
clinging to looks
imposed upon them
objects of anothers pleasure
empty fulfillment
longing to be seen
inside tenderness
ones inner song
hummed softly
under ones breath
to be heard
by he who hears
the violins cry...

She was kind
Who hummed beside my bed
Who sanctioned every whim
     of feverish thought
     racing through my head.
She nursed me
Through cringing hours
Grasping every fleeting strength
I was too weak
     to hear her
     speak a prayer
Yet I know that she was always there....

This morning I looked up at the sky 
and it was abruptly rent in twain 
So I casually watered my new bonsai
and cast away all my pointless frets
I sat back in my seat and lit a cigarette
I sang a hymn and hummed its refrain
I felt like a dangling marionette
And all at once, life was simplified...

So,
Speak
Kind words
With soft voice
A harpist playing
Gentle and soporific tones
Like the mother's low lullaby hummed to her baby
Notice how everyone listens attentively to understand what you are saying

Master classes were held in East Sussex
and the Sussex girl played tune
with ease to her master.

She played the grand piano all the day
and the master hummed along,
time barely noticing.

People thought they were having an affair,
as nobody else took part
in the lessons grandly.
