Best Gentle Poems


Premium Member A Gentle Slam
Simply unaware....or perhaps I don't care
what others say or do
It's partially true
I'm through

Used to care what they think
of my words, of my ink
not anymore....
So much more is in store
you see...rhymes keep knocking at my door
I write and you explore

I won't be intimidated
slated or hated
my thoughts...

Premium Member Gentle Harbinger
Musing on this life of mine
Alone I wonder if it's time?
Robin sings in my heart
Fluttering wings like cupid's dart.

Have been hurt, no doubt caused pain
Hearing robin's song again
Before I journey who knows where?
Know angelic wings will take me there.

The time has come and gone again
I'm...

Premium Member Gentle Summer Rain
She writes about Fall's beauty in the rain 
The falling raindrops' dance ascribing thence 
Bespoken verse that lightens her refrain 
before the time they met - her steps commence. 

She listens to the soft and rhythmic thrum, 
her love turned to escape and cloudy string...

Premium Member Heart gentle, Eye mindful
I can offer you sympathy,
try to feel you through empathy.
But if you take it for granted,
silence will be your remedy.

Remember the seeds you planted,
when unnourished will bloom slanted.
Hearts yearn for balanced devotion,
like birds sharing what they chanted.

When there is too much commotion,
tears seem to fall...

Premium Member A Gentle Breeze
It begins as a gentle breeze
that rustles the leaves with its touch.
Scurrying through the tops of trees,
it begins as a gentle breeze.
Not enough to discourage bees,
it is only brisk; it isn't much.
It begins as a gentle breeze
that rustles the leaves with its touch.

It is only...

Premium Member A Gentle Kiss
A gentle kiss,
 that I really must send
To another true,
 and very dear friend
Pucker up babe,
it's coming your way
And riding a storm,
so it should be there today
I licked my lips before I blew,
 so I know it's going to stick
But with all the lightning,
it might...

Premium Member Gentle Dove
Little dove, gentle dove
show me your heart
the key to your love
ne're more shall part
for my heart is raptured
your kindness abounds
my love is captured
your sweetness surrounds
Little dove, gentle dove
you've stolen my heart

a new life does start
You've caressed me in ways
few have known

Premium Member Gentle Spirit
You came when I needed an etheric friend,
though I never knew you in life.

An angelic guardian I see in dreams.
You died just before I was born yet,
it feels like we've spent a lifetime together.

Protectorate, eternal spirit, arriving when needed;
an infinite connection.

Cartoonist that you are;
in childhood,...

Premium Member Oh, Death Be Gentle
Oh, death be gentle and be kind
whenever you shall come for me,
for one day you shall be assigned
to set my soul from body free.

Please do not be a reaper grim.
Oh, death, be gentle and be kind.
When light inside my eyes grows dim,
the great beyond I...

Premium Member Gentle Patterns
Shifting sands beneath me leave soft impressions
Like the gentle etchings upon my pages
It is not my goal to create a pattern
Ever enduring

Premium Member Be Gentle With Yourself
be 
gentle 
with yourself 
like fragile glass. 
you're only human,
imperfectly perfect,
we're all a little broken.
it's no use dwelling in the past; 
abandon regrets and mistakes there. 
whenever you fall down, you'll rise back up.
no matter how i n f i n i t e s...

Heart gentle, eyes mindful
I've always showered 
care on ungrateful trees, 
the ones that bloomed 
and the ones that withered. 
I watered them anyway. 
In this chaotic world, 
compassion is made slavery, 
chained with entitlement 
and false lovebites, 
yet my tender heart 
endures through the raid 
and self-inflicted questions...

Premium Member Gentle Night
Violet skies regard the drowsy moon,
Stars glisten on the edges of dark night,
Laughing eagerly wherever they’re strewn,
Evoking stories that gentle hearts write.

Stars glisten on the edges of dark night,
Softly glowing, restoring rest to souls,
Evoking stories that gentle hearts write,
With soothing words, their poetry consoles.

Softly glowing,...

Premium Member Rolling Thunder and a Gentle Rain
The gentle music flows
from every drop of rain,
as it just lightly taps
against my window pane.

The wind begins to whistle
it's own melodious song,
while the wind-chimes
dance and play along.

The soothing sounds cast open
the windows and doors.
I close my eyes and breathe.
The energy surrounds me as my spirit...

Premium Member Fear Not the Wind
Fear not the fierce wind, o gentle heart
Though it may rattle the eaves
And give no ear to its whispers with nothing to impart
But shallow promises that hang, like dried, parched leaves

Listen to its mournful wails on the way to some distant shore
Leaving in its trail,...
