Best Reassurance Poems

Some nights it's bound to be your best way out,
When nightmare is the short end of the stick,
When sleep is a part of town where it's not safe
To walk at night, when waking is the only way
...

a cloud came down
and spread over
it kept on coming
closer and closer
...

We have to ascertain and make it sure
Life is not alone for sex and pleasure
It asks for self devotion and assurance
Safety and pledge for double reassurance
...

I’ve never owned a teddy bear (aw…)

my parents read the child-rearing bibles
of the time, maybe that’s what it was
...

Here sits a boy so in love with this girl,
But he won't say a word cause it sets him in a whirl.
And it won't stop spinning untill he can find
some rest, reassurance or peace of mind,
...

Too young to know the horrors of a war I've fought,
too young to know war's fear, or yearn for heroism,
but old enough to have lived through;
boys but one year older than myself
...

I have fallen sick many times in life,
So also, I have hurt myself many times.
As a dancer, there is always some kind
Of physical ailment or pain,
...

He stands outside the window.
-Nemesis-
His hunter’s senses
Can detect the two beings inside the room.
...

When peace came,
I showered under streaming light
- Silent, settling -
Effectuating over all -
...

Warm cocktail of happiness and pain
Sometimes the eyes cannot hold this disdain
unsaid constricts and the volcano erupts
ending a painful conflict within
...

I was so sorry, really.
On closing our heavy door
a slight resistance was detected
as if the hinges needed grease.
...

The West Village by then was changing; before long
the rundown brownstones at its farthest edge
would have slipped into trendier hands. She lived,
impervious to trends, behind a potted hedge of
...

I didn’t look both ways before crossing
Into what proved to be the intersection of my life.
The traffic racing by only served to blur my vision of you from across the street.
Passers by were the recollections of your countenance
...

Did they already have the image of that creature
grazing deep within their heart and mind
before the day when it revealed itself, gentle, sweet and mild,
living its life of glorious detachment,
...

Family Dynamics and War

They both saw their faces reflected in each others tears
...

What woman really does need in life?
Merely to stay in house as wife
Carry out normal activities throughout
Should know nothing what the life all about!
...

You were inseparable part
My life from the start
A precious diamond
And worth none to second
...

O earth, sufficing all our needs, O you
With room for body and for spirit too,
How patient while your children vex their souls
Devising alien heavens beyond your blue!
...

Politics these days has such crazy-quilt aspects to it, it is difficult to figure out what is going on.
The Blue Dog democrats lost whose very existence made people wonder if the democrats were Dogs or Donkeys. I say both.

Similarly, the Republicans have become confused with being a mighty
...

Whilst winter remains ensconced
You break bleakness over coldness embers
Fires stoke to orange and coax blues warm
to remember, bearing revitalisation
...

Fra Paolo, since they say the end is near,
And you of all men have the gentlest eyes,
Most like our father Francis; since you know

That read:

Time spins headlong, helter-skelter, alpha omega its hum,
...

There is an explosion of green life in the light.
This life extrapolates all its emerald green.
This life can take close to eternity on the right.
Love is a holy thing played in this world, a scene.
...

The news yesterday was that at Geneva an accelerator detected neutrinos moving at a speed exceeding that of light, a speed that Einstein and modern physics have for over a century said was impossible.

These results have to be independently verified by other labs and experimenters but, if they become verified, we are at a milestone in modern physics, in modern science and in our understanding of nature.
...

With equals

Even though we are created equal
Nothing goes well

Let me enter your pain,
I promise to bring release,
and with it, if you prefer,
I bring peace on your terms

'It gives me the reassurance that I exist.
'How does that work? ' I said.
...

Fen was deep and volatile
Beyond the borders of shadows
Emptiness grooming inside
To proclaim the floppy trenches ahead
...

I am backing home where you died.
One year later, to find
Changes that mask our surrender
To the inevitability of life.

How wise
the rose?

near the shortest day,
...

Last night, I sat by my window
In a meditative mood,
Gazing at the clouds
That veiled the starry firmament,
...

And there we stood, the family,
foremost in black and closed off faces.
Then sevenhundred folks from town,
they all had come to give respect
...

The shiver creeps up on me tonight..
The cold never felt this cold..
the night.. Never felt so lonely..
...

Why don’t you leave me alone and in isolation?
Why is it that you still come and guide me with relation?
Why is it that I still spend sleepless nights?
Internal thoughts clash with mind and fight

In Memory of Kathleen Raine

When I stretched out my right hand
to touch your face, mysteriously present,
...

Words of reassurance
Offered at once
Provides confidence
We seize the chance
...

''I get defeated
in more than one scene,
in more than one action,
in more than one speech,
...

If loving you were easy
I'd love you like I should.
I've opened up my heart to you
and tried as best I could.
...

Red is the color of things flung apart
The gash;ambulance flashers;red alert;atomic fireball…
The light of understanding as it leaves us.
...

When the Silent darkness tightened the noose
The hope you shone saved me from non existence

When the frustration like a millstone dragged me to drown
...

With big questions

It is blessing
That we miss something
...

Some words are to be believed
Not repeated or often asked
Its sanctity is violated
If stand unrelated
...

You lost me by the sea
Huge waves came crashing down
One by One
...

Upon this cozy couch I sit.
It’s here the verses, I have writ

Flow forth from my creative grunting,
...

Little flower

So long you are before my eyes
I shall never try
...

What is the sound of silence?
-the Colorado Plateau-
-desert alive-
Quietly hear

To pick nits can mean to remove eggs of lice from human hair,
and I believe Andy's ‘Nitpicker‘ word may come from ‘there'.
Nits are very tiny, and a nitpicker points out some ‘tiny faults',
like a misspelling in a poem, amounting to, for some, insults.
...

Let our hearts have the peace,
When each day passes with ease,
There are many things that can soothe,
we have to go to them for the comfort.
...

You are special

With each day that passes
Brings you to faux pas

'I'm accepted! ! ' she squealed.
'I knew you would be, ' he said, almost sadly.

She went giddy with tenderness and threw her arms around his neck to kiss him on the cheek but he's so tall she had to go up on her toes and ended up off balance, he moved his head into her motion and their lips connected in an actual kiss.
...

Lord I Thank You
For the gifts you've given me,
Ears to hear and eyes to see,
A perspective that's multi-dimensional,
...

Authentic is the heart of a healer
Rendering the comfort to the sufferer
Treating the soul alongside the patient
Offers remedial counseling for the treatment
...

A pleasant face…the kind that conceals
Controlling the emotions that honesty feels
Each one of us is a pretender of sorts
Sometimes imprecise…but giving support
...

Obviously, this is not an article That I wrote,
but as we try to better our understanding of what made us what it is that we are,
we must, at least some of us must, come to the realization
that as either a parent or the child of a parent

People talking about
Work, timetables
Self-importance.
Driven derivatives,

the perfect cup of tea
is kindness
made when someone least expects it
whether it’s a simple

Coming from the silver lining of the horizon
arrive my celebrative birds
creating on the sky. fluttering
an ocean of waving wings.
...

When we are lost and broken, we can look
At the night skies; teeming with gleaming stars,
For reassurance. Death of the ego
Will break all the distorted mirrors of

I try to find the fine line of the truth in your lies
but it's slippery and my hands have been coated with too much experience to hold it.

My memories fall out your ears like rain…
...

Do not give me words of wisdom
Give me of yourself
in gentle flow...
When I am mute
...

This morning enfolds unfunded hope,
Promiscuous promise, and delirious doubt;
A glassy-eyed morning whose atmosphere
Is saturated with aspirin and ephedrine;
...

Thank God for a way to escape from the shadows
A refuge where battered women rebuild their tomorrows…
The undisclosed location is free from violent threats
It is a place where women wake without cold sweats
...

Across the water distantly.
I see lights bobbing on the sea,
the lanterns of the fishermen
appear and disappear again.
...

“Right...! ”

I try to explain it
with chocolates

They dropped a bomb right in my lap
The moment I thought the hard times were going to rest
I remember the moment as if it was yesterday
I was layin' on the couch takin' a nap

I shall dream for no heaven
If God comes to offer it even
I strive for no salvation
That is final resolution

Monster’s in night
You are right
Whole life is to fight
But more to fight in light
...

The bleak look, which sees nothing
The pallor on the face
The fluttering hand seeking reassurance
The fear stirring in the heart –
...

Tomorrow; that cad,
That scourge of intention,
Apathy and lethargy,
His evil twin henchmen.
...

Sweltering temperatures induce a longing thirst
All motion has slowed to a thick maple syrup flow
Dogs pant and sluggish cats stretched out to nap
Sizzling heat climbs…where did summer joy go?

Twenty seven years of personal sacrifice selflessly but
passionately combined with a lifetime of national

Happiness!
That is what he does to me
He paints me grey skies
Misty fog

Twas in that moment of sleeplessness,
that slowly I have faded into dream,
the somber feelings of yesterday's touch,
hath reached the dark empty spaces.

The urinal, a worthy fixture,
is functional, but more -
it reassures the nervous male
he’s entered the right door.

My life was lately
on the go...
sleeping bag and travel kit,
and late moon's show
...

In Paris on a morn of May
I sent a radio transalantic
To catch a steamer on the way,
But oh the postal fuss was frantic;

The midwife’s tidying up
with professional detachment

and there you are; wrinkled; pink

Twofold converging
amorous for awhile

...

I think I’ve been waiting for you all my life.
To glimpse you through the kitchen window
scratching between iris and daffodil,
disrupting roots, sprawling moll-like
...

When you're alone with no fellow around
Looking for a partner to soothe the sorrow
You kept suffering from when you were let down Just walk in the dark and talk to a burning star
It will let the reassurance inside you grow
...

To my relaxed ends,

I used to cherish you. You were what made me beautiful. You were like my crown, and who is a queen without such? Although cold and lifeless, you made me feel superior, worthy and essential. Unjustifiably so.
...

The semester has finally come to an end
There's so much to say where do I even begin?
You made my semester so much better
Which is why I'm writing this letter
...

Flesh carved not of creation
Nor of accidental occurrence
An act of aggression, release
Confirms self control's reassurance
...

From time to time the dead come
for their allotted meeting like prisoners,
jostling, and sit on the bench to wait.
The hands of the carver
...

I think I'll treat,
My husband like my son,
Men are like big kids,
They need to have fun.

That bitter night in Valley Forge stands above my other memories.
‘Twas winter, and the snowy winds whistled through the trees.
Gathered ‘round a dying fire, soldiers shivered from the night chill.
Few were sleeping; others keeping solemn vigil stood still.

Show Mercy, My Dear
Date: July 27,2020

Man of my pain
...

Water, water, and water
The most purest sign of virtue,
How wonderfully nature has indebted us with this gift,
An offer that none can resist
...

Im just ready
For everything to end
I just need reassurance
I just need a friend
...

The trees have put on their green cloaks.
Gentle gusts sway the branches of the oaks.
Disposition is soothed by the refreshing air.
The cooling shade is perfect for a lawn chair.
...

The rhythm of love grabs undivided attention
A mysterious affection captures a trusting heart
Erasing hesitancy… as caution disappears into the air
From this moment on …all solitary thoughts depart
...

Her eyes grey/blue and like the sea
they change according to her mood
Sometimes the sparkle wickedly
at other times they seem to brood
...

Looking beyond the edge of darkness
Walking upon a fallen whisper of white snow
No trodden paths are shown …only starkness
With courage… beginning …venturing slow
...
