Best Companion Poems

I arrive when life's first breath pays its toll
And stay after death till' visits are cold
I'm the deep well you draw from always full
You find me in dark and light never old
I've felt every pain that you've ever known
And spilled out of your eyes from...

The old man sits in his chair by the door
His dog lies beside him curled up on the floor
Ever since that day when the man lost his wife
that dog had, to him, been the whole of his life

With his constant companion through all those long...

Phantom of wisdom in stealth of night;
mysteries of darkness revealed by your sight.

Appearing much older than your earthly years;
an ageless soul with no death to fear.

Athena's companion, with knowledge to share.
Secrets of the gods and immortals you bear.

Kept hidden from light, the ancient truths;
powers of...

I’m in love with him,
He see’s right through me.
He loves me for who I am and not who he wants me to be,
Manic depression is family,
It doesn’t leave me alone,
But he’s always here for me,
His arms are home.
I wonder how long he’ll stay…
If there’s one...

My Old Companion

Once you arched where children play,
Heard the laughter and slapping of tether balls;
Roads made of sand with little boy sounds
A long time ago.

You have been my friend, my loyal protector,
Though storms have gnarled your limbs.
Home to owls, blue jays and sparrows,
Your friends, my...

For an instant, it had seemed imagination
Perhaps an illusion?
A movement so fleeting, a tease of the senses
Just by chance,...just one glance,
that triggers and pricks all the hairs down my spine
Grey shadows stalk me, as if from a cloud
The wilderness talking....not making a sound

Following,  to...

A time when women dressed as queens
And the queens used to ride like warriors
Men fought to live and lived to fight
And never went gently into that night.

To ride a *Marwari horse is to know the **Rajputs
To view a pair of perfectly curved ears
To see the...

The wife plans a spree to buy all
With husband on board at the mall
But as this takes place
He just looks for a space
To sit on a bench in the hall...

There is a callus on my finger,
it is where my talent lives.

Growing wiser with each stroke,
it feeds on tantalizing inscriptions
-
which I meticulously sculpt
-
as I transform my inner reflections
into leaden-inked realities....

Three stars to the dream pierce
and I find you sitting there,
forlorn
absorbed
and lost in sickle thoughts
I rush to metal supermarkets
and bring you gifts of spirit,
paper roses
lead balloons
and melted ice in buckets
You laugh like rivers bubbling
over stones and odd appendages,
snapping,
pulling
yourself right out of silver dreams
I hold your...

You walk a step in front of me, clearing our path from harm,
You walk by my side, you don't carry a firearm.
You sleep at the side of me, our bed a concrete floor,
I promise I will carry you, if you can't take any more.
You protect...

She's like the essence of variety.
Her ability to inspire me
taste like passion when she says "Hi" to me.
She'll never lie to me.
Cause she's truth.
She's love like a harsh lesson
and more precious than a subtle blessing.
Constantly testing my sanity like a harsh whisper...
And unlike fear... her...

Meet the friendly capybara
Rodent large without a care, a
Chill companion, friend to all, for
Clearing any gloomy pall

Sitting still or hanging out, with
Capybara social clout, a
Being present in the now, who
Effortlessly lives the Tao

Showing up and just to be, in
Any opportunity, a
Doing by no action seen,...

Kit

Before I opened the carton,
   I’d chose the name Kit,
      Thinking of strong Wild West women.

Our little girl, Gigi, ran to my bedside, barking
   Excitedly, “A present?  Aaarrr-ooo!  For me, mamma?

You are my sunshine
You make my day ever bright
So sweet and gentle 

When the days grow dark
When the nights are so lonely
So lovely you are

I love you so much
Endlessly I will love you
The days are now bright...
