Soft Sounds

“Soft Sounds”

 

The music wondered into the room

Delicate and Yielding a light somber tune

It lingered in the minds of those within

Leaving impressions of what had been

 

She lay still with the wonder of want

The music came into the room with delight

Beside her he lay still from his effort spent

The tune fell upon the couple’s intent

 

What just happened, her thoughts entered twined

With the music that came into the room

She laid exposed half under the sheets

A melody strong now with contempt

 

 As a cool breeze chilled her naked skin

The beat of the music grew stronger and stronger

His satisfaction was her true belief

Yet now too she wanted her relief

 

The sound ripples across her skin

She feels the flow and rhythms

And aches for more time

As the sun is setting low

 

 

His mind has caught up to his action

The pleasure now sated; the satisfaction of conquest

The movement within the soft music

Fixing his mind in wonder

 

What just happened, He thinks and why?

She’s so beautiful and ripe for taking, but why?

The sounds of the sea outside the window

Sequestering the ebb of each wave as it laps the shore

 

When did it become less fun than serious love?

Is there a difference that can be understood?

By understanding is it the same to both

Or does it mean something different to each?

 

Does he see her as she sees him?

Is this love or just a whim?

When the sound stops she hopes for more

The music so soft to him implored

i like the back and forth rhytmn as each wonders if the other is pleased
or what is missing and wanted. it has a soft feel that rises in anxiety but
turns more questioning as each wonders what is in the heart of the other.
love the soft beginning a great deal. fine work.
