Walt is our prompter today and wants us to write about the sounds of love. Tuesday Poetics: The Sound of LOVE
Sleeping Sounds
Soft snores,
guttural grunts and sometimes a growl,
snorts through the nose,
rumbling of the tummy,
an odd word murmured now and then –
I lie awake listening to you
And smile –
especially when you murmur my name.

:)!!! Love this, Toni. Mine snores, which does not always make me smile. Thank goodness for earplugs. 😉

I hate all the snoring too 🙂 Love the part when they murmur your name!

Such familiar sounds, so nicely put together!
Aug 16, 2016 @ 22:46:18
They are 16 years worth of familiar!
Aug 16, 2016 @ 19:31:07
Oh that’s the sweetest moment!! ❤️
Aug 16, 2016 @ 22:45:33
And he is a sweetie
Aug 16, 2016 @ 22:48:40
oh my, yes!
Aug 17, 2016 @ 01:11:22
uhhhhuuuuh. and my heart is now a beating puddle after i melt. ❤

Ah.. this is just the sounds you both love and hate… its the presence you do love, the warmth and the familiarity…
Aug 17, 2016 @ 11:12:29
His soft snoring doesn’t bother me…it’s the growling he sometimes does!
Aug 17, 2016 @ 06:03:00
awwww. and i just melt. 🙂
Aug 17, 2016 @ 06:23:48
Awwee.. sometimes I’d like to make sense out of those soft murmurs… they’re too intriguing! But then, as long as he speaks your name… nothing else matters. ❤

I put them up to The Mysteries of Life, LOL

That has been missing for a long time for me, personally. I am now hearing my cat snore and feel her listless warm body close to mine and it is such a comfort.
Aug 17, 2016 @ 11:11:30
I am sure it is. Cats are so comforting when they sleep with you. I miss my cat sleeping with me.
Aug 17, 2016 @ 17:47:43
Oh that last line seals it. Made me grin big.
Aug 17, 2016 @ 17:56:38
Nice take on the prompt. 🙂

Warm and sunggly sleep sound. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this, Toni!
Aug 18, 2016 @ 08:08:07
The murmured name in sleepy tones sells this completely, Toni! Too good!
Aug 18, 2016 @ 13:17:11
these body sounds are the epitome of intimacy wrapped up in a lover’s name – very lovely!
Aug 18, 2016 @ 13:34:52
I love this! This is love down to its most ordinary sounds and sights.
Aug 20, 2016 @ 04:56:44
I smiled fondly too, all the way through – and especially at the last line. 🙂
Aug 20, 2016 @ 16:53:07
Thank you Rosemary. Those familiar burbles from man and beast do make one smile.
Aug 21, 2016 @ 12:57:14
Growling, oh my! 😀 This had me grinning and awwing at the last line.
Aug 21, 2016 @ 13:03:38
Yes, growling. I sometimes wonder if I married a closet werewolf. 🙂
