Sound Of Music Poem by Uche Nwanze

Sound Of Music

Rating: 5.0


In my peaceful death of a sleep
Trying to escape from a world so restless
I fly to a place of solemn refuge
Not even the bark of canine wolf
Not even the meow of the cub could bring me back
Songs of tribulations announcing her vampiric hunt
If only my olfactory doors be shut
If only she could inebriate her thirst with my blood and stop the music
If only she could take away my juice and stop this taunts
Not even the tidal wave of my hands in defence of my ears can stop her
In defiance she whistles her opera of cacophony
In my lips I cursed, not even my pillow can stop her music blaring boisterous hymns
Alas the night is stolen and my sleep is taken away

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
If you have experienced a night where you will be faced filled with the humming of mosquitoes in search of their victims. You would prefer she sucks and bites than taunt you with her music

Though, it may be out of context but it is a fact that today I was reading about movie 'The Sound of Music' which was released on March 2,1965. It one an Oscar for best movie.
