Best Empathetic Poems

The moonlight bathed her cell in pallid light while she sat hunched over her desk, clutching her pen between her confound fingertips. As she bled ink of symphonic symphonies yearning to break free, dancing like ethereal fireflies in the dusky barren lands.

Exiled by the hypocrisy of...

"I shall be telling this with a sigh" 
    Robert Frost, The Road Less Traveled. 

Mom
took me
to try on
my first pair of 
contacts -back when the 
soft ones weren’t yet for sale.
As I struggled to endure
a feeling like stones burning in
my eyes,...

Somewhere in the world someone was suffering
as I laid awake at night and realized
my time had come to vindicate my reasoning
why I should see with empathetic eyes

So cynical was I and full of judgment
as a homeless man approached me for a dime
I failed to stop...

Empathetic Light

Lady Diana, the exquisite Princess of Wales.
A heroine now in hundreds of tales.

An accomplished pianist at Buckingham Palace.
A hopeful ballerina, a kindergarten teacher.

A radiant young woman who loved to dance,
A royal young activist.

A humanitarian princess with courage, not discouraged.
A demure beauty, dedicated to duty.

Among the dandelions empathetic fairy listened to misunderstood squirrel.
She made no suggestions, sat quietly, in silence, nodding sometimes.
Showing him how valuable a good listener can be. 
Especially one who does not interrupt to ask questions.
He concluded for himself the answer as he watched her watch...

A gorgeous woman
her heart was exceedingly pure
She was selfless and godly
But her birthmark scared off potential suiters
Those who did not understand full beauty

A loving woman
She was patient and kind
Her compassion struck a chord in many hearts
They saw her for who she was
Beyond the birthmark

An empathetic...

Duchess has Den, Lind's Empathetic Yen
Laughing with Casey gave "rise" to a fall,
Giving "urgery" to surgery,
We pray the setback is soon annul!
Sometimes when mishaps occur,
Causes appreciation in full,
When things stop working,
Face the horns of the bull,
Carpe Diem! Step back & reflect,
Refute descent, resaddle!
Read, think, thank,...

I feel forgotten and stranded
I'm always here for you 
Yet I'm always abandoned
I feel your emotions 
As if they're my own
Maybe it's my empathetic heart
I need to learn to disown

I can't tell if the world is against me
Or teaching me a lesson
My motto is to...

Deliberately delicate spider faerie of an empathetic mind
Sassily dreaming delectable ideas that could help mankind
Spinning them into sassy slices of serendipity, heaven hurled.
Easily encouraging and inspiring others in their dream world

As she spins their wishes and hopes into her fancy web
Nature’s forces resolve to leave...

Ebony Cat went from person to person demanding love
He hit them, smacked them, scratched them, spit from above.
The more he tried for attention, the more annoyed they got.
He stayed in a kennel so long, he thought he would rot.

An empathetic faerie who had a love...

The Empathic

Homeless, faceless... 
they walk our streets, 
yours, mine, ours. 
Their families have forgotten them, 
they don't want to go home, 
or they can't. 
Where do the "people" go, 
where there is nowhere else to be? 

The heat rises here in the desert. 
It melts...

The doctor was away so the nurse practitioner called
To see how I was doing after my stint in the hospital.
I was in big pain and cried during the entire phone call.
She said I should probably go back to the E.R.
I asked "Which E.R.?" I have...
