Best Hugs Poems
they are unusually soft inside
with a smile that flourishes
at the sight of you
they take everything in stride
nothing is ever a crisis.
With patience and pluck,
they go about their lives
touching here, touching there
making others feel special
they are often kind
and love is never a disguise
people who feel like hugs
are much aware of your soulful needs
beyond compare and often rare
people who love people,
feel like hugs
every time
Unique is the discipline of love
Understanding God's law
Faith holds supreme commander
Sometimes we have to fight
our way through a concrete jungle
stone cold dreams nightmare evaluates
Rocking the cradle unworthy desires
no peace or rest for the wicked deeds
in order to find the answers to hopes prayer
Truth pointing us directions
within our code of moral conduct
which supports us in our voyage
In the walk of life chaos grips hearts consumed with hate
Without faith our souls identity will become dust
Needing hugs from heaven to survive
A Collaborated Poem 19.11.2015
Anne-Lise Andresen, and Liam Mc Daid
(tercets unrymed)
A long, loving hug from a cousin
Is worth more than hours of hired therapy.
When Love's in my bed~Heaven is in my head~Dreams are Sweeter with HUGS
Cuando el amor esta en mi cama
El cielo esta en mi alma
Suenos son mas dulces con abrazos
The first my starlit darling girl knew dawn,
A sleepy heart awoke in peaceful sun,
So pure was love escaped sweet-newborn fawn,
My own rejoiced renewal brought by one.
The first an angel spread resplendent wings,
And traveled forth her purpose bright ‘n true,
I sang a song that’s heard when robin sings,
While noontime skies made glow my child of two.
The first bright burst from trumpets sounded clear,
Rehearsed chaotic joy becoming free,
With pride I beamed in evening’s pastel air,
For daughter’s self-awareness learned at three.
When four my shadow looked ‘twards me and said,
As twilight danced unseen through pain in store;
“Will you still love me, daddy, when you’re dead?”
I held her tight and said “I’ll love you more.”
The first I had withheld my Ava’s hugs,
When marriage found steep cliffs then took a dive,
I thought of times I’d met now-lacked with shrugs,
Before I knew I’d see her not at five.

Before… I beheld her quivering, shirking---
suffocation gripped her with my envelopment;
breaking free from the gentleness I exuded
she would scamper wailing…
as if scorched by my belongingness’ warmth.
After painstaking therapeutic sessions
offering my compassion-propelled embrace
I witnessed her, gradually yielding to me
succumbing to my love-blest invitation…
devoid of resistance.
Graciously overcoming
grievous traumatic hug-pressure
she confessed that she’s healed
from domestic violence, by the mercy of God*…
Who rescued her against lustful and incestuous hugs.
Now… with serenity's bliss
she’s cheerfully reaching out to others
letting them feel kindness-driven hugs
sealed by care, concern, and comfort...
precious blessings of earnest bonding.
*Psalm 52:8 ... I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

Sponsored by Craig Cornish; judged on 6/14/2020.
Dare to smile for a while, care to laugh
Sweep away gloom, keep enough room
Wake up hope, break down sadness enough
When souls cry for a joy broom.
Dare to love, care to play
Sweep away darkness, keep enough light
Wake up friendship, break up a delay
When a heart longs for a share of delight.
Dare to encourage, care to pray
Sweep away losses, keep winning
Wake up consciences, break up a despair display
When hatred begins threatening.
Dare to save souls, care to hug
Sweep away exploitation, keep up inspiration
Wake up devotion, break a poison mug
When folks boost molestation and separation.
There is nothing as good as a hug.
It works better than any known drug
And especially now
When conditions allow
Some emergence from holes we have dug.
For no matter how much we’re on Zoom
A caress from a separate room
Is so different from real
That we really can’t feel
The emotions a squeeze can exhume.
This pandemic’s kept loved ones apart
And I’m grateful that I can now start
Seeing friends face to face
In a squishing embrace
Which unlocks what’s been trapped in my heart.
Teenage Girls clad in the latest fashions,
Do it whenever they meet,
Grown men aren't afraid to show some passion,
When their team's comeback is complete,
They can say hello, they can say goodbye,
And anything inbetween,
If you open your arms and crack a smile,
There is nothing that a hug cannot mean.
H ow you flow into my thoughts, for no reason, at times
U ninvited, yet, most welcome where warm smiles begin
G ood days or bad, near or far, we’ll share
S weet moments of embrace as our souls stir

Each clan exchange hugs
After ten days of bloodshed
They're now united
Sweet kisses and hugs,
In a morning filled with love,
delightful breakfast.
More than a mere hug
If it causes ears to pop
And leaves you craving
There is nothing as heart warming as a hug from the heart
We have many types of hugs
The Oh Gosh do I have to hug
Oh well I guess I will if you want me to hug
Boy am I glad to see you again hug
The hey look I can hug in public embrace
Let's hide so no one sees us hug
Do I have to hug Auntie Linda hug
The great big over whelming bear hug
Let's keep holding on hug
I want to hug you forever hug
And best of all
I love you more than words can say hug
Let's give our hugs freely and with emotion
We all need to feel the love
Hugs can be like mangoes
sometimes difficult to disengage.
Some are so worth the effort
others are just fair to middling.
Next, compare cling peaches.
