Soothingly Good.
Repetitive cooing of an un-mated wood pigeon
seems so tenderly moving.
An amalgam of voices making dinner-time chat
sounds surprisingly soothing.
Mesmerizingly restful an incoming tide swishing
on stones in covert beaches.
And agreeably pleasant the motorised greeting
of blooms by afternoon bees.
Rhythmical rocking of rails on fast trains might
quickly my mind hypnotize.
Resonance trembles from waterfalls dropping
to vibrational silence.
And what of those
somnolent tocks after the ticks by my
grandfather clock
Or the continuous sizzle as near-boiling
my kettle sings on the hob.
Those crackles from wood on after-work
fires are warmly relaxing
as is the swish of slow-winging birds and
rain on panes making a splash
or Summer's light murmur of night-wind
passing thru slumbering trees.
Yet none of these soothing rhythms come
near besting the best for me.
The most precious of sounds and gentlest
are the whispers of sleeping contentment
in your peaceful breath next to my breast

Ohhhhhhhhhhh FAY ~ I love this pom ~ You are so so romantic ! This really is a Tone Poem and your skill with words created each sound for me perfectly ! Cooing ~ word buzz ~ tidal ebb & flow ~ bees ~ rail rock & roll ~ grandfather clock tick tock ~ kettle sizzle ~ woodfire crackle ~ birdwing swish and nocturnal wind murmuring through the trees ~ Beautiful. BUT (and I agree) all eclipsed by the love murmurings of one's loved one asleep on one's breast ~ Perfection. You are lovely ~ Yours B..
Super descriptive prose - I can see feel hear it all.
A fine write. Erm, someone somewhere did an 'alternative' version, starting with: 'Those pesky ****** wood-pigoens cooing woke me up; where's me gun'?! oohhh terrible.
Beautiful write Fay.
