Richard Lamoureux Poet Kimo

Kimo Therapy

I see you filled with emotional pain
You feel like you are alone
So I will hold your hand

It’s okay, you do not need to explain
I will be here through the hurt
Let me absorb your tears

When you are ready tell me how you feel
My promise is to listen
You are safe here with me.


For Carol Connell’s Kimo Therapy Contest

Susan Gentry August 15, 2018 at 10:38 PM Congratulations on your win. Words of compassion needed to be said and needed to be heard by most everyone at different times in our lives. Sadly, not everyone knows how or when to say them. I like this. Richard Lamoureux August 25, 2018 at 9:13 AM Thanks Susan.

Vladislav Raven August 10, 2018 at 8:59 AM An excellent write as always Richard. I enjoyed the read, it made me think. It is strange that when i feel alone and friendless someone always seems to be there. Your words always have a meaning. This little gem makes the loneliness fly. This gem goes into my faves. Keep singing your golden songs Richard. Have a wonderful Friday. Your friend always....Mike. Richard Lamoureux August 11, 2018 at 7:40 AM What a nice thing to say Mike. I am pleased it resonates.

Ravi Sathasivam August 9, 2018 at 7:27 AM Excellent. Very touching write. Enjoyed reading it. Richard Lamoureux August 9, 2018 at 7:31 AM Thanks Ravi.

Eileen Manassian August 8, 2018 at 2:20 PM Off on a 12 hour journey that will take me to Hungary with the family. Just wanted you to know... I'll try to catch up from over there. Pray for travelling mercies as I'm still not 100 percent. Hope to read something new from you soon. Hugs Richard Lamoureux August 9, 2018 at 7:31 AM Travel safe and have fun.

Viv Wigley August 8, 2018 at 12:38 AM If I remember correctly, Richard, a major tenet of the book 'how to win friends and influence people' was above all to be a good listener. Lord knows why we need a book to tell us that.... Fine write, good luck in the contest. Regards, Viv Richard Lamoureux August 9, 2018 at 7:30 AM True that.

Honestly J.T. August 7, 2018 at 4:27 PM Nice job -JT Richard Lamoureux August 9, 2018 at 7:30 AM Thanks JT.

Arthur Vaso August 7, 2018 at 12:15 AM Very touching Richard, such kindness melts me. Richard Lamoureux August 7, 2018 at 8:18 AM Just like the wicked witch in wizard of Oz. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Thanks for the visit you old softy!

Eileen Manassian August 6, 2018 at 8:18 AM The greatest gift is safety. Too often we can't reveal our true selves for fear of judgement or rejection. Lovely write... Richard Lamoureux August 6, 2018 at 8:22 AM So true, we are afraid that if others see us how we see ourselves that they would cease to love us. That would be unbearable so we bear our pain in silence.

Becca Teagan August 6, 2018 at 12:54 AM If only friends like this were more than fantasy. Arthur Vaso August 7, 2018 at 12:19 AM Sometimes we much choose our friends wisely, for many have such compassion, as I have met Richard, I can say he is a man filled with such warmth of heart, I wish all to have a friend such as him! Richard Lamoureux August 6, 2018 at 7:46 AM I wish for you the friend but not the heartache. But if the heartache comes I hope his fantasy will be your reality. Thanks for the visit Becca.

Lawrence Sharp August 6, 2018 at 12:11 AM Very warm and tender, and beautifully written. Richard Lamoureux August 6, 2018 at 7:47 AM Thanks Lawrence.
