Ah, Love

 Phoenix Rising Poetry Guild invites us to continue to explore the sounds of love...I found this prompt extremely challenging...so many sounds speak love.

So, in continuing our month featuring the “Sound of Love”, I ask you to use the devices of ONOMATOPOEIA and/or ALLITERATION within your poems to verbalize the “sounds” associated with the emotion of Love.

Surge of something sacred and sweet

Stuns her; spills summer-slow, sigh-soft

Whispers wake wellsprings where want wafts

Wild within to a boom-boom beat

Soul-song sweeps soundless; blue eyes brood

Mouthing murmurs; kiss-kindled storm

Rolls ruthless, rousing raw words, warm  

Reverberation; m-m-m, m-m-m-m, good

Touch tempts a tempest-tethered trove

Wonder thunders, thought finds fingers

Sh-h, sh-h, shudders, laughter lingers

Something satisfies her; ah, love

The Poem in Her

Plush, the whisper of your wanting

Blush, the murmur of her sighs

Hush, though breath-soft bells are flaunting

Night-farewells on hello-skies

Slow the waves of want and worry,

Blow that beacon from the east

Oh my darling, do not hurry

Morning is a hungry beast

Break the bars of law and order

Wake the world within her touch

Make the most of love before her

Sense of Time becomes too much

   

Set the curtained dark a-quiver

Forget everything but Her

Let the morning rush, a river

Running wild where hours blur

Spill within her quill an ocean

Will to word, wanton whisper

Fill her fingers with emotion

Unleash the poem in Her

Symphony

Phoenix Rising Poetry Guild Kick-off! Join the fun, won't you? Everyone is welcome.

Love stirs silences

With extra-ordinary

Mundane-ness

There is no sweeter song

Love lavishes

Life’s longings

With a symphony

Called We Belong
