Prompt: Write a poem that focuses on sound.

The Sounds of Love

                                             ...
                                            She waits in silence for her lover.

                                            The time passes on the clock upon the wall,
                                            Tick

                                           Drip
                                           As a tear rolls down her face and plummets to the floor.

                                          Then suddenly there’s a hand on the door,
                                          Click

                                          And in her ears, there’s the sound of a thousand fireworks,
                                          exuberant and joyous as she eyes her lover
                                          stepping his way across the old floor,
                                          Creak

                                          Then, as they fall into a tender embrace, she can hear his heart
                                          Beat
 
                                         And there, in that room, all that could be heard were
                                         the sounds of
                                         Love
