Best Halfway Poems

He wears his frame with dignity.
Moves amongst the throng with confidence,
   with a buoyant outlook
      that defies everything malignant.
He magnifies his letters until
     they are neon bright and shining
   messages for his...

"Meet Me Halfway"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

I'm so sick of this....I'm wrong, you're wrong
Baby please....I'm so tired of playing that song
It's only us, me and you, only we can be right
Don't give up on us now....help me in this fight
Let's put the past where it...

As loving you no longer lingers,
Against my hand of broken fingers
Of which I've washed the Past away
(The second skin I've shed today!)
To block, to shield, to guard- protect!
But will it last the length to trek?
I'll run right and you leap left,
Our rendezvous to be discreet
Forward,...

Some call it a halfway house because it's halfway between hell and living,
but living that way isn't really living at all; it's just a slower way of dying, friend.

Your self-imposed life sentence is hereby commuted to time served + 100 
years in a halfway house;...

Having passed the midpoint, I came to a stall.
The known half’s behind me, the future ain’t clear,
all those years gone shifting, from gear to gear.
No U-turns allowed, one way gotta roll,
can not pull the same old tricks, thrills and spills an’ all.
What was distant now...

He climbed the hill of coupling
with gladness that love could bring
but had no happy ending.







Note: This form is called Diona, a traditional short Filipino poem which is only a tercet, having 7 syllables in each line, and aaa rhyming scheme....

I met you halfway.
Why did you have to take the bigger half?
I held your heart in my broken fingers,
my throbbing nerves were soothed by the cold.

You lashed out at me, 
breaking through my second skin.
Perhaps you thought it was armor.
Leaving me sitting, 
crying,
halfway between heartache...

He called for my help and hurried I came
I helped as needed, it was a piece of cake
Then at the side of my eye
I saw the hidden knife by
His acting was so good, I was an easy game 

I thought of so many solutions
To this...

You and I, Love, are halfway there.
Each content with what we've found--
In spite of kids and strife,
And struggles with mid-life,
We've had the good sense to stick around.
Both looking forward, walking together,
Ever onward, hopefully forever.
Yes, you and I, Love, are halfway there.

YOU and I, LORD, are...

On such a winter’s day
The sea and sky dark grey 
My hair in disarray
I taste the salty spray
And though so far away
Your words I still replay
With aching heart I pray
That you’ll return to stay…
So come, let’s meet halfway
Forgiveness on display.

It lurks there, fitfully
around the corner of my mind
and will not show its face
like an April thunderfront, and
scarce aware that winter slipped away
a week ago behind a cloud of consciousness,
reluctantly occludes the air with nebulosity,
a shy Olympus in denial.

It moves within my chest, a void

Getting it out with a good shout
Now don't go and pout
Deep down inside so riddled with doubt
Need to find a safer route
Tired of fighting these heartfelt bouts

Our freedom has a way of holding the past
Before you know it you have crossed the bridge to fast
Having...
