Best Loyalty Poems
Did you think my friendship fickle,
thus deserving of the sickle
did you think that it would wither up and die?
Did you think my friendship faded
thus transforming true to jaded
did you think you could revive if you try?
Did you think my friendship lacking,
thus you sent me swiftly packing
did you think that you should stop and ask me why?
Did you think my friendship ended
thus presumed it can't be mended
did you think that you could leave without goodbye?
Well, my dear, let me assure you
That as friend, this girl is true blue
did you think I'd let you simply walk away?
Quiet wrong is your surmising,
and I find it quite surprising
that you'd think this friendship's was not here to stay
So, now listen, friend, just listen
Let these word's of friendship glisten
as on through these lines of poetry you play
I'll be here though sometimes silent
With a heart that's supple, pliant
Write the words, and don't be doubtful, dear, I pray!
Eileen Manassian
Thank God I have a Brother!
He fixes up the truck,
I sometimes give him money,
Whenever he gets stuck.
(Not just for up and fixin’
The truck – not what I mean
‘f I tried, he wouldn’t take it)
It’s just that times ‘re lean.
His poor bald head works harder,
Than any I have known!
For he rides an old lawnmower,
And not a horse or throne!
He goes and helps the neighbors,
He will not take a cent,
(‘Course, he could make a killing,
That’s just not how he’s bent!)
Thank God I have a Brother,
Whose Kindness lifted me,
When I was drenched in sorrow,
And couldn’t hardly see.
He gripped me through the funeral,
Around the shoulders, hard,
And now, he’s lost his stepdad,
Who helped him in the yard,
Who told him ‘Mighty Fine’, and
Who loved, and sat a spell,
And stayed in the garage shop,
And cared that he was well.
So, now, he has a Brother,
Who’ll stand up, when he’s stuck,
And hold him by the shoulder,
And help him fix the truck.
Sing the Song of Love and Loyalty
Raven lurking in the stillness and quiet
dark moon lit ashen mist, fog of night.
Burst of sparkling electrifying woven blanket;
Lovers spin clinging upon the wind laced secret intimate flight,
Musical chant vibrates shape hidden in sound and light.
~
White wolf walks in courage by day,
His lover black raven by night.
Under the drunken midnight moon bewitching charm two lovers lay;
Stolen moment of time freedom to hunger in delight.
In concert howls answers the calls of invite at twilight.
~
Made to roam,
carrying their spirit souls throughout eternity.
Their pleas ignored to be set free in their home;
denied of their earthly life because of jealousy and envy
of their song of love and loyalty.

Based on a tale of two lovers magically transformed into a wolf and a raven because of the love they shared for each other never to be together as humans. One would become human during the day the other at night thus they pursue each other around until someday in some way they would become human once more.
Friends..
Take us just as we are;
The rough and the smooth.
Accepted and loved.
With nothing to prove.
Friends..
Need us too;
Or that's what we hope.
Ask yourself this:
Are you sick, phat or dope?
Friends..
Gather together in twos, threes or fours.
Uplifting each other.
House and hearts;
Open doors.
Friends..
Share the mountainous journey,
the struggles, the views.
Friends are honest and patient.
All colours.
All hues.
Friends..
Whoever they are, whatever they're like;
Be they short, wide or lanky,
called Steph, Steve or Mike..
We should give as we take
and be present, for sure..
..as our friends are forever.
And maybe.. some more.
You love him, you want him
He doesn’t want you
You’ve had no one for so long
just the person that you knew
He’s stuck in your head
Glued to your mind
Friends say forget him
There’s new guys to find
The loyalty shown,
You never did cheat,
His love was enough
For you to retreat
You thought you were comfortable
the relationship shared
Was so pure with love
That you wasn’t aware
The evil, the nasty
He was drifting from you
The sweet caring person, that you thought that you knew
Was gone, what was left?
Just a stranger behind
His love had run out, the truth could not hide
You try to move on,
but there’s no way you could
You feel nothing but empty
where true love once stood.
By Rosie Hill
There's a false chord in the lullaby.
There's a dagger in the hand.
There's a stinger in the butterfly.
There's a scorpion in the sand.
There's harshness in the laugh.
A fist in velvet glove
A dead bird in your path
Contempt behind the love
Crushed eyeglass near your car
Banana peel on the floor
Bent nail gives you a jar.
Omens you can't ignore.
Some say you must be kept down.
They see no need to tell you why.
No tossed rope to those who drown.
No effort to tell truth from lie.
Some wish to force your view.
Some wish to mold your mind.
Back in the clamor, who rings true?
Who is wicked, who is kind?
There is no art as Shakespeare said
To know the mind from the face
In some hearts all good is dead
Extremes make up the human race.
Sure, they'll use every soaring phrase
But their hearts are full of hate
They'll follow any political craze
You'll see through them, but too late.
My heart is weary and my soul is heavy,
I have removed the dagger but I am bleeding still;
and I know I will have a deep scar forevermore,
oh, but could I remove your name from my mind;
and how I wish that I had never met you, friend!
You see, I am very accepting of any flaws you have,
of our differences in opinions about politics and such;
but, I am demanding in a friendship with two things
loyalty is upmost- and I must trust you;
I heard you were talking behind my back, friend.
So, what do I do with this information told?
Isn't it odd how others like to hurt with gossip;
anyways, you have showed your true colors to me,
and they are not pretty. But, what to heck to do???
Well, Dad always told me to keep my friends close ,
and my enemies closer!
But, YOU will never have my
respect ever, ever again, friend.

On Friendship
To silently support and hold your belief
To hold you up when you are consumed by grief
To embrace you for all of your idiosyncratic forms
To exist with you beyond the societal norms
To be born of love and kindness and grace
To know every line on your beautiful face
To walk beside you over the passage of time
To defend you with valour against any crime
To believe in your tears as much as your smiles
To conceive all of your fears and uniqueness of styles
To hold your position when you’re too weak to stand
To live with you through the poverty and the grand
To scale the heights of your profound achievements
To stand up for what’s right in the aftermath of bereavement
To go into battle for the honor of your name
To embrace you unconditionally through the anonymity and fame
To understand your intrinsic emotional complexities
To encourage you on your craft, work and dexterity
To elevate you beyond your best version of your self
To come and save you when you’re in poor health
To allow you the freedom to express your true soul
To endure the shared process of what it means to grow old
To support you on whatever opinion you take on
To not transparently agree with you, especially when you’re wrong
To hold you accountable for what’s true and what’s right
To accompany you through the dark lonely night
To give you the comfort you need in a storm
To listen to your advice when you advise me and warn
To grant your perspective credence and intellectual weight
To have your back in a fierce debate
To give you insight when you’re faced with troubles
To always tell you the truth even if it bursts your bubble
To give our friendship the space to become a sacred bond
To help you find justice when you feel you have been wronged
To encourage your depth and your true voice to flow
To allow you to exceed beyond what you already know
To inspire your courage to bravely stand tall
To rewire your progress and retrieve you from the fall
To give you the unconditional comfort of a true friend
Who will remain by your side until our time on earth comes to an end
The End

I've got your back will always be
A term of my loyalty
Call me any day or night
If something just isn't right
A cash loan I'll give to you
Anytime to help you through
Sickness won't keep me away
By your side I'll sit and stay
If tears are falling from your eyes
My shoulder will keep them dry
Anyone causing you pain
Will make me badly insane
When your low and feeling down
My love will be all around
If doubts fill your mind with fear
I will make them disappear
There will never be a time
You will ever seem to find
A friend more faithful than me
It is in the first degree
That I pledge my loyalty
Hoping you can really see
I'm not going to abandon
A friendship that's never landing
i loved her in ways i cant explain
it still was,nt enough to heel this pain
i gave her my life over and over again
but she still left me for my best friend
loyal is what she supposed to be
but i guess that did,nt apply to me
wisdom to it all because i been around
i made myself the fool of this town
knowledge to it all i stayed and learned
still cant understand how i got burned
i love her still
and always will
she dont no how i feel
i,ll leave her alone until my heart heal
forgive her and never forget
and remind myself that this is it.
Love is loyalty,
Valor with shield and sword,
Action within words.
Longer than twenty years it took me
Of steadfast faithful simplicity
Voicing reassurance, for her to truly get that I’m not you
Explains just how much you put her through.
Mister important ladies man, so dashing
Everyone else takes a back seat; hearts are for smashing
Another looker, another ********, another member of the ex-wife collection
Narcissism is a shameful condition, but you have zero
Shame, else you’d loathe yourself as I do, mister hero.
Love means loyalty, putting your loved ones first
Owning your impact, not rationalizing your thirsts
Your choices all--good, bad, and worst
And keeping your damned pants on when your
Lady is not around for you to ignore
Too late now, for the sake of your daughter’s heart
You’ll never fix it, but that’s no longer your part.

For Contest: Loyalty
Sponsor: Broken Wings
love is the spell your under
when you give your heart and mind
it sometimes last a little while
and for some it last a life time
responsabilities to care for
obligations to pay for
always fighting just like war
take away the joys
burdens have been carried for years and years
sleepless night because of our fears
it's inescapable when things are shared
the unforgiven things you did
loyalty that lasted fifty years
the trust that grew when things were through
the reason to wake and live another day
the oneness of mind that comes with age
Dressed in light and wearing a crown of Olive leaves,
Love stands before Loyalty her husband to be and a
host of wedding guest. Looking into each other's eyes
the two exchange vows.
Loyalty - My dream of making you my wife has become
reality. I promise to hold you in my arms and keep you
safe for all eternity. I promise to cherish you and treat
you like royalty.
Love - I've been waiting for this moment ever since my
heart took it's first beat. Like doves flying on the winds
of peace I promise to uphold this marriage above the
clouds of serenity.
Surrounded by all the virtues Loyalty and Love kiss.
