Morning dawns with dew
Lifts the misty veil of night
Birds chirp on tree branches
Chirpings of sweet melody
I stretch my frame in wakery
My bed shudders in relief
Window blinds flutter and I wonder
What tunes are these I hear?
Why sings the wind to me?
Chuckles and cackles of innocent nurslings
Drench the breezy air of morn
Moon stands tall in glaring stance
While it’s day
From pillows of mountain peak
Sun casts rays of light
On the valley where passion blooms
Exuding sweet fragrance
Lacing the atmosphere
Eyes shut
I taste it in large gulps
Then again, what song is this?
Why sings the wind? –
Tunes of sweet melody
Relics of erstwhile rains
Still thuds on the green leaves
Rhythms flow through me
Still what tunes are these I hear?
I’m uncertain until…
They rush at me; this wind, this song
Eyelids part
Bouts of air rush through my lungs
I breath life, I breath music and I breath you
Yet remain breathless
Gracefully advancing, gaps of distance closing
Familiarity dawns
Of an encounter that never was
Not sure you see me, but I do you
Why does the wind whisper in my ears?
Whooshing against my blushing cheeks
Tunes of music yet unsung
Notes of songs yet to be formed
Lines of odes yet unwritten
Tales of adventures that have not been
Risks untaken
Life unlived
Paths uncrossed
Words unspoken
And it all falls in place
Aye, it all makes sense now
Why this morn feels so queer
For the wind plays me tunes
Tunes of love
Fresh new love

Sometimes I wonder what would be of me; if I had no hands- to write, or if I was too dumb- to talk.
I'd never be able to express my numerous thoughts- I could go bananas.
Apart from God, there's no place I find better solace than in a book, armed with my pen... or as it now mostly is- on my keyboard.Go to Chimzorom's profile, and read more of his/her posts.
This is some very soft poetry. Soft and gentle poetry.
I like. Nice one.
Thank you Seun.
Long tym no read @chimzorom
Nice…Well Done!
Thanks teewah, I guess my break was productive.
This is beautiful. some phrases there got to me………… like tasting it in large gulps.
Yes, @lachicabonita, funny irony. Thanks.
@chimzorom you just brought nature home to us. Your diction creates the ambience.I like the smell and feel of the nature described herein. I will like a picnic arrangement in this your imaginative setting.
Thanks @sambrightomo. Mind you, your picnic will be as imaginary as my setting.
Splendid. Each line etched to my mind. Like Sam said, just a dish and a girl, and all is set… Too nice!
Thanks @francis, enjoy yourself.
Smooth…
Thank you, Raymond.
Sleek, smooth, fresh, soft
Like a beautiful woman
Nice words, Kaycee. You definitely feel the piece.
@chimzorom. U too much. This is superb.
Thanks, Louis. I’m grateful.
This is sweet! It’s a wonderful thing to be able to describe the feeling.
You are right. Thanks.
you are a multi talented chap – first you posted a story in pidgin and now you are back with this fantastic poem- though am not an authority in poetry but permit me to say well done and more grease to ya elbows as you build on your craft.
Thank you @mikeeffa. There seems to be a mix-up as I have done no piece in pidgin but I hope to retain the praise after the confusion is cleared.
Tunes of music yet unsung

…thanks for all the images, aplenty!
Beautiful.
Thank you too, Ostar.
This is one of those poems that transport me to wonders and leave me in deep contemplation. This is good
Thanks Icha. That, coming from you, is a lot to me.
