What's in a Sound?

A car alarm in the distance,
It won't stop going off.
It's relentless, so persistent
Like a sickening cough.

The strings are playing something
So beautiful, tacky, sad, sweet.
The wind chimes dance, tagging in.
A pitter patter of light feet
For hours, pensively pacing.
Humming a presage so softly.

The pouring of wine
Into a clinking glass.
Unsteady but fine,
Seconds sullenly pass.

Finally

A crescendo creating great climax.
The moment awaited arrives
Showing cruel moments through vivid flashbacks
Louder than buzzing hives.

The slam of the door
The drop of a tear
The cracking of a heart
The ticking of a clock

The violin strings pulled to a break.
The screeching wails high and low so fake.
Glass hits the floor
Along with blood and tears,
Screaming for more
Pleasant music to hear.

A car alarm in the distance
Never got turned off.
So relentless and persistent,
A fly in the broth.

Like the last stanza a lot. Good rhymes in there.
