Best Empathizes Poems

A sigh escapes still, immune to overt silence, unabashed...justified
Another teardrop enters the infinite pool of resilience, uplifting...reinforcing
   Another hand empathizes--
          touching, impulsively putting one's heart unto wounds, alleviating pain
    enfolding memories...

Today while we were celebrating Mother's Day at a restaurant, my daughter shared the following story with me.

"I was with Daddy on the plane coming back from Egypt when I saw something that really touched me. There was a blind man and his partner who...

There are so many voices heard and unheard in me.
I want to listen to the silences that are making noise inside.

Tell Them

To all who have never known, it's time that you've been told. 


Tell the population to change its ways before these lost lives and souls are all in vain. 

Tell the girls to think long and hard before they let a man twice their...

In his arms

In His Arms you bury your head into his chest and release tears of anguish fury and disbelief.
Gently he caresses your back and says those four little words you were longing to hear. Not "Everything will be alright" But "I'll make everything better"...

Most everything I learned about the history of evolution
feels colored by Julian Jaynes' theory of language
and culture
and history
and icons of ecological systems 
and co-relational functions,
forms and frequencies,
rhythms and ironic, ionic 
win/win polyvagal 
bilateral transparency.

This is not something peculiar to Jaynes
or even to DNA-syntaxed cultural Memory,
flowing...

Intricate folds open, exposing life nurturing moisture
Delicate, defying it’s true gift
Strong, nurturing and life giving as a woman
Thorns deter those who would thieve her nectar

A variety of rose’s, blooming with life
The multiplicity of woman
Beautiful and elegant
An ear empathizes with others pain 
Disarming vanity enable ideas...

Cry into my eyes...hear my goodbyes
Practically reduced to your intricate lies

You sound so beautiful and frankly, I find you dreadful
Letting out your cries that are oh so pitiful...wonderful...

Much like you,
You act so cool
Cool it off too
I'm such a fool
For loving you always...ah, always
You are fulfilling...

Dancing young climber Mandevilla, wears neon green leaves,
adorning the terrace garden with its mounting thin sheaves.
Owner family water daily, the plant is healthy
when they cuddle the plant and trim old leaves, it feels happy
Whenever it perceives their presence, it does some signals
to gather their attention,...

The dusty hurling wind guided the darker cloud
Towards the stony shrine of a lonesome mountain.
With a roaring thunder, mountain cried out loud
And tears flooded its bosom in disguise of rain.

The bosom which is full of painful dry volcano
That sighed and waited for coming out in...

The huntsman’s horn in
The School Boy is non-
native. But he likes the 

poem, hears a snake-
charmer’s pipe vicariously,
empathizes with Blake’s

boy’s love of  innate 
freedom, and then doodles
in boredom. Next period,

he slips down from
the top of Pythagorean 
theorem. He snoozes in

the Neolithic Age at noon....

There was a day set aside for the wedding
but the groom was very much dreading
it would be the same day
his grand final would play
and that’s where it looked it was heading

Alas his worst fears came true
So what was he s’posed to do?
Change the date
he’d marry...

Troubled souls come seeking my learned advice
Pour out their hearts accompanied by bitter tear,
And share the anguish of their burdened soul
Hoping this lowly counselor’s words will suffice,
To bring some comfort, some freedom from fear
Help them cope with reality and gain some control.

The counselor listens intently...

My timid heart is at a standstill 
Quiet through her gentle whisper
She gazes my way with disquietude 
Can this be? 
She empathizes with my habitual dolor?
Are we one and the same?
Her beauty reflects her buried affliction 
Her coming and going reflects her astuteness 
Her downfall...
