Best Comforts Poems

Ave-Maria hymns lift you in flight
to Heaven’s gate apt angel does ascend
and follows lantern's light predawn of night
on glide of song and blessings she does wend.

On April morn in skies of blue as you
besprinkle crystals from your seraph’s wings,
by mourning noontime snowfall does ensue;
a smoothing...

The tropical storm moves closer
Brings wind and choppy seas
From my window it's a gray mass
But ride out the storm with me

Trapped in total isolation
All alone in my pain
Even the joy of the Seagull
Disappears with falling rain

The rain brings it own small comforts
Water to make things...

Frisky, gray squirrels scramble
Beneath a massive, old oak tree
Gathering the best acorns they see
Their fluffy tailed, lively damsels

Opossum wobble on short legs
From their laurel sheltered lairs
Toward the thickets where there’s
Vast bugs and spiders in their webs

Gentle, soft haired rabbits assemblage 
Onward, seeking out grassy fortresses
Where...

Bloom! Bloom! O! This evermore wintry tide
Whisper litanies, wondrous lullaby,
Caress skins in that comely way you ride
Marvels of seasoned rind of litany;
As you march avidly, a lone Magi
Desert of roofs blend, your trusty drummers
Quench their arid taste, dust tongues scream, twist, prancing
About. Cadence of words...

This Old House Comforts Me 

This old house, box where I rest my weary head,
my soul sleeps here, with uneasy comfort -
these four walls, they hold my precious sanity,
a SMALL service that matters not when I am dead.
Glorious roof, keeps the rain from waking me,
blocks...

When leaving our abode for a short sojourn
We realize how much home comforts we yearn
Home means familiarity
Home means sincerity
No need to impress just bumble along unconcerned...

Toast with Vegemite
A latte or cup of tea
A good program on the television
These things comfort me

My comfy bed when weary
Being by the sea
A heartfelt cuddle 
These things comfort me

The joy of a pet
Penning a poem or three
Listening to music
These things comfort me

The flickering of a...

COMFORTS
 
so smart looks the stereo
set on the polished marble
top, vase filled
with ashen white lilies so
slender they could be the
stems of death.
Fridges crammed with bleak ice
as food seems to say
'things will always be this way'
but
ice petals know this can never be.
Along slippery tiles echo the
moans-...

I pace alone in a place for the dead…Over come by woe… Yet here I’ve grown so fond of 
dread that I swear its heaven… Oh my sweet May dressed in grief Don’t cry in front of his 
stone with his name scrawled in a...

Why does a wild storm
A raging sea
Make me feel safe
And comfort me?

Explosive ,unrelenting 
Raw, fearless, free
Cuddles ,calms
And comforts me?

Booming thunder
Torrential Rain
Soothes my soul
Reason why I can’t explain?...

I used to shop until I dropped.
Now I have stopped.
I do not need anything,
It's all a lot of rot.
The shops that are still open
As many of them have gone
Sell such a lot of rubbish
I would be ashamed to put it on.
My old frame needs brightening...

I watched a show on TV as we brought in the New Year in,
Full of guitar, banjo, fiddle, dolbro, mandolin.
Recorded at the Reimann down there in in 'ol Nashville,
Home-grown country pickin' for a two hour special show.

I really do enjoy, hearing that sweet bluegrass sound.
Even...

Sweety, you are only imagining the floaters and the sounds
And the lights, and the carpet, and the television, and your friends
Honey, I understand exactly what you mean!
Everyone experiences this very generic simply-stated sentence that you've heard a thousand times and are not experiencing at all
Sweetheart,...
