Best Embracing Poems

Today I fell head-over-heels in love;
beyond happiness, I'm soaring above.

Love's gentle, and yet harbors such power,
that lingers like the scent of a flower.

I thought that I understood who I was,
till I felt the magic that true love does.

I cannot put my feelings into words,
eclipsing the...

I know not where I'm going, just where I want to be
I know not what tomorrow brings, just what I want to see
I know everything I love and I know what I miss
Memories last and blow through my mind like a kiss
I know the gratitude...

It is the conversation
between the poet and the jester.
The poet- with solemn introspection;
the jester- with careless regard,
each captivating the other.

It is the ultimate irony
of this unlikely coupling,
entwining their words,
combining truth and mischief,
sabotaging established decorum.

Neither threatened nor contrite,
nor challenging the others' wisdom,
but with enthusiastic fornication
and eager...

Every single plant and flower is my friend.
Many the forest path do I journey,
Breathing in the rich earth and clean air,
Reposing in a meadow green just listening,
Amongst the dancing daisies just resting.
Could anything else be more peaceful and healing?
I think within the soil there must...

Earth's
magnificent
bounties
reaching
across
continents,
Igniting
natural
growth.

Erasing

to
humanity.



* We should embrace earth, for it can thrive without us, whereas we are not so self sufficient.

I dreamt that you were there,
In a haze, I could see your familiar face
The sun providing a spotlight for our awe-drenched moment

As I drew near,
Your features became more and more clear
You were smiling from ear to ear,
Like an angel fragrant and bright,
My soul beamed like...

Embracing with thy Heavenly Father, there's no better feeling, feeling that warm, soft, hold in a sisters arms, 
Embracing with Thy Heavenly Father,  only a true sister, child of God would understand, no words needed, just two spirits joined together in His Holy name,...

A boy and a girl in love, 
hugging beneath starlit trees, 
like spirits enjoined by God, 
race to forever.

Shadows moving like the wind
decorate the ground with shapes
dancing beneath the moonlight
silhouettes of trees.

Branches twisted together 
awakening the sunlight
sparkling like young lovers
embracing their lives.

In the depths of my own fault, I find,
A longing to mend what's left behind,
No blame to cast upon your name,
For in my own mirror, I see my shame.

With pleading eyes, I seek your gaze,
Yet you turn away, lost in a haze,
If only you could...

Here I stand
in a lonely field
of prairie grass
and dandelion
watching
faint ribbons
of apricot break
across a weary
horizon

And as I see
the enchanting
beauty of the 
morning sun
embracing the sky,
my heart wishes
I were that sun
and you were
that sky...

I notice the single placemat within the circle of noise,
Placing my phone on the cluttered side plate,
I can feel the Christmas spirit resonating through,
The crowd of extended families unwrapping each other’s joy,
A tear drops onto my unused napkin,
My mind races with memories of family togetherness,
The...

With stiff balmy sea breeze tousling our hair, 
We used to walk barefoot along the shore, 
Feeling the water over our feet and the sand
And admire and wonder at the crabs

The smell of an early fall,
the swiftness of the breeze
sweet is the gentle call
singing through the trees.

Leafs falling on the land,
the colors are all a new
orange in its autumn dress
and even yellow too.

Wrap yourself in a cozy scarf,
cuddle or read a book
pick the perfect pumpkin...

To be immune from aspersions mean and vile
May assuage our hurt feelings for awhile
But to really uphold the Golden Rule
We must also withhold words harsh and cruel—by poet

In an upside-down world
Where self-victimization
is a realization and hatred lingers, it goes nowhere
May not yet get it, and...
