Best Listener Poems

Start at the start
ask your questions
Although I’m no priest 
I will hear your confession
Divulge your sins
no judgement or correction
Within my skeleton closet
I have my own sin collection

Off the mirror of my silvered mind
 you might witness your reflection
Dive deep into my psyche
I’ll gladly offer protection
Our...

I'm the original Super Hero
Called the "Listener", I hear every word
I'll let you talk for many hours
What you say will always be heard

There are many who offer solutions
With the "Listener" it's not about talk
When you desire to become unburdened
I'm more than just a friend, I...

She’s a listener.  Yes, she is.
Eye to eye and with sincerity;
With no patronizing interruptions
Until the issue has gained clarity.

A little tilt of her pretty head
Means she doesn’t really understand,
But offers her attentive ear; 
Her silence is a helping hand.

I talk it out.  She...

New York City is where people who are
disappearing go. It is very quiet
here, silent. A man and woman
made love below me. I could hear
the bedsprings ringing and the
woman singing in sensual pain.
My thoughts sped up as they humped
faster. Everything is dead in my room
except me...

You  art thou! Indeed - marvelous
You captured my thoughts with love
I see your eyes sparkle - twinkling
I endeavor your true personality
remarkable - I 'm in awe - tremendous
Reflections in my mind - are imbedded
An image in my soul - awakens me
I am alarmed -...

20: To tramp lightly isn’t enough for a true tramp
Wellness can’t wash old scars;
But you pretend that lightly is enough--
Because the wave washes the top of your toes
During the quiet times by the water’s edge.
The round rocks are smooth listeners....

Was Jesus a Listener or a Talker? 
Once upon a time, mouth and ears were in a great debate, of who was the most import and added the most value. Mouth said if it weren’t for me, ears would not have a job to do....

White knuckled, holding harder never held anything down.
Empty tides ripped her under, promises never honestly allowed
and those white knuckles held to hope and thunder raged inside her heart,
fell right back to the bottom, seeking desperately new starts,
but she felt the heat and the waves and...

Logophile
A talk therapist, a friend, an amateur poet and an introvert
In love with a smile, eyes and languages
With the ideas for images, photography and calligraphy
To palliate the feelings of low, listless and lonely
Aggravated by the fears of walls, sufferings and inhumanity
That makes me like to...

Leftie I was and leftie I be.
I never watch stupidity on reality TV
Except Married at First Sight
Which gives me delight
I am a hippie, a gypsy, a faerie, I flee….
From those who have absolute ideas, for they frighten me.

My ideas are flexible,
I am a listener, and...

O, an amazing woman she is!
She has heard my heart’s cries, thoughts, and questions,
without ever raising her voice or eye brows.

Once as a drug addict, she heard my heart shout “I can’t take it anymore!”
so many times. Like an angel seeing through a mortal’s wounded...

-listener

Putting a mask at the side of my face,
Wearing it so that I feel in place.
I'll open my ears, so tell me everything;
If something is bothering you, I'll do anything.

Playing the game as the listener, always the same,
"Hey, hi there, how are you?" But do...

Among the dandelions empathetic fairy listened to misunderstood squirrel.
She made no suggestions, sat quietly, in silence, nodding sometimes.
Showing him how valuable a good listener can be. 
Especially one who does not interrupt to ask questions.
He concluded for himself the answer as he watched her watch...
