Best Hush Poems

“Look up at the stars,” you say
Its just another night up on the old water tank
Our blanket is spread and here we sit with the universe our theater
Another night of showing me the constellations 
Astronomy…your love
You…my love
The stars….your hobby
You….my idolatry

I try to follow your pointing...

Can you recall the hush of Christmas past?
Think back to when you were a little child,
excited Santa Claus would come at last,
too young to even know you’d been beguiled.
In shadows of your quiet room you lay.
Then maybe to your window you’d tiptoe,
look out and search...

a limp hand I hold

as the wind takes your last breath

            the candle flickers

I might forget you for a little while

but when the last desert hues of sunset roses

wrap the bareness of these arms

Out of nowhere and without reason I think of you

Darkness falls and so my tears

but  then the wind wafts its zephyr breeze

and exhales away...

 Tonight  like all the other nights

' Hush Hush ,sleep baby sleep ' , I Softly sing  to her.

I sing to her a lullaby  She listened to from ...

Such beauty that falls from the heavens tonight like downy feathers from on high.

Falling from angels wings gently blanketing the earth in whispered breaths of a sigh.                  ...

An infant so very small, with its little noise that never does impose.

small little hands, ten perfect little fingers, small little feet, ten perfect little toes
 
kitten softness, invites a fingers touch, a kiss on its nose. 


Hush-a-bye, baby, flawless pure love, princess in pink,...

While a lattice of gold asters sheds its dangled petals, 
I cringe against the intrusion from rainfall's unforgiving wind.
Through night's hush, moist blooms graze my arms scenting my quietude.

Faces bright with anticipation
Awaiting Christmas illumination

Dad turned the switch on at the wall
The Christmas lights twinkled in the hall

The children gasped at the wondrous sight
Smiling faces beamed with rapturous delight

A magical moment for us all to see
Dad switching on the Christmas tree

There is something about 
The way you face your day
With a heart of gold
And such a giving way.

There is something about
The way you endure your pain
As if the stroke 
Didn’t harm your brain

There is something about
The life you live
Loving like there will be no tomorrow
And...

-For Justin Bordner’s contest


I long worshiped heartbreak,
From afar, often, though through the lenses, ceaselessly…
I drew ribbons in the midnight sky with the silken trinkets of sorrow
Riding in the dark with the sound of our silent sufferers all around…

At times, I would weep at the hum...

Within the first moment of loving him, the stars
Fell silent in a soft whispers hush, mine beloved,
Sent from the spiritual gardens above, was this
Precious rose, whom pierced my heart with cupids
Thorny prong’s of devotion.
A melting comet descends, shattering my frozen
Crystalized soul within, for loving him...

Comes now the hush of white flowers
as borealis crawls into the night,
my spirit enfolding light 
of incandescent earthly bowers...
clayed marbles tint the hours
dazzling me with budding sprite,
comes now the hush 

And to feel sand and air in a weave 
the unwrapping of moon is bright,
my...

Hush



Hush now my lover
Come rest your head upon my shoulder
Let my arms league bring you closer

Quiet now my love
Or your tears will shred to my ruination
All the courage that I have

Let this soft caress to yours encompass
And do not hold upon the burning cup
It is...
