Best Reassurance Poems
I need one of those hugs.
The hugs that envelope you, mind, body and soul.
The hugs that make your heart explode with happiness.
The ones that take you to that safe place
where no one can harm you,
with words or actions.
You’re anything but afraid.
You’re everything but unhappy.
I need one of those hugs from someone who knows me.
Someone who loves me.
I need to know that I’m not alone
A Monster in My Closet
There’s a monster in my closet
He’s looking right at me;
His eyes glow red – his teeth are green;
He’s as scary as can be.
There’s an ogre in the corner
I know for sure he’s there;
I can smell his breath from here
And see his slimy hair.
There’s a gremlin right behind my chair,
Growling like a beast;
Slowly now he creeps toward me;
Someone stop him please!
There's a giant river troll
Underneath my bed;
Snorting, drooling, hiding there -
I think his name is Fred?!
There’s a creature on my ceiling
Hanging from one claw;
Waiting just to pounce on me
With his grimy paws.
There’s phantom at my desk
Silent as can be,
Hovering up in the air,
Giant as a big oak tree.
There’s a goblin at my window
Trying to get in;
Tapping on the windowpane;
I see his sneering grin.
My mother comes to check on me;
She sees my fear, my fright;
Sitting on my bed she says:
“Turn on the light!”
Mama's here, little one.
Even when she's not.
Her arms are wrapped around you,
She loves you a lot.
Mama's always by your side,
Even when she can't talk.
When you're at your best.
And even when you're at your worst.
Kai loves you.
Mama loves you.
Nothing could be more true,
Than the words I speak when I'm with you.
I want to be there for you.
I want to lift you up.
Someday, we'll meet.
Someday, I will.
I'll press butterfly kisses all over your face.
I'll sqwoosh your cheeks and hug you close.
I'll cuddle with you all the time.
I'll never ever leave your side.
One day, we'll meet.
Then, you'll see.
Mama's here. Mama's with you.
She'll never ever leave.
When Tigger can't bounce,
And Pooh hates honey.
When Peter Pan can't fly,
And Mater isn't funny.
That's when I'll stop loving you,
That's when I'll move on.
When Patton can't smile,
And Roman drops his sword and runs.
When Logan can't find a solution,
And doesn't even try.
When Virgil gives up on the others,
And becomes the bad guy.
That's when I'll leave you.
When the world ends.
Only then,
Will I not be your friend.
I may not be good at everything,
Or even good for you.
But I swear on my life,
I could never stop loving you.
Not you.
Not Alex.
Not Al or Kat.
Not Kayden.
Not Katie.
Not Rory or Batts.
Not Megan.
Not Joan.
Not Cassie or Jen.
Not Marie.
Not Zoe.
Not Olivia or Em.
Not Emma.
Not Beet.
Not Caelum or Kali.
Not Cas.
Mot Gabby.
Not Serena or Bailey.
Not Xavier.
Not Rihanna.
Not Natasha or Mac.
Not even Malaya.
Not even Sonnae.
Not even if there isn't a person that loves me back.
I could never stop loving,
All the people in my life.
Past or present,
Even if they weren't nice.
Mama always loves you.
She'll never move on.
Mama won't ever stop loving,
Even if everyone else is gone.
Mama loves you.
Your highs and your lows.
Kai loves you.
They'll protect you from all your foes.
Mama's always here, little one.
Even when she's not.
Her arms are wrapped around you.
She loves you a lot.
waves flow freely
reassuring all of us
contentment still lives
Kiss me tonight
Tell me you love me
Tell me you'll never leave me
I want to hear those words
I want to be reassured
Knowing I won't ever lose you
Hold me close
Allowing me to feel your heartbeat
I want to know you'll stay forever
I want reassurance
Knowing you'll be by my side
Knowing I won't ever lose you
Reassurance is all I need
Suddenly, in a flash
Like a gallant leap or a mad dash
Everything that used to be
Was suddenly history
Life as I knew it ceased to exist
And became what I’d always wished
Not in my wildest dreams would I have ever known
All the wonderful things I would come to own
And I am not just talking about material things
Also, circumstances, my entire being
From inner beauty to physical health
From serenity to endless wealth
In every single shape and form
My life was completely transformed
Grace was given to me for my faith
And eternal life through his name
Everything is so beautiful
So complete I am finally whole
It’s hard to convey the entire concept
You won’t believe until you have experienced it
But when you finally do, you’ll be taken back
So in aw you’ll lose your breath
One of these days the time will come
And you will finally get to see the son
It is then you will know you are a chosen one
You’ll feel such love that you will cry
Someday we will meet again
On the day you die….
With my hearts
song,
I open my book,
Let it make me
strong,
For all the
time i took,
Looking for a
way,
Let that light
come along,
So i may see,
Past what ive
done wrong,
Past when heads
shook.
The paths and patterns of flowers
are lost beneath the darkness of desperate rocks
By summers security
and winters threat
does the slavery of hands
make its peace
To be eagerly assaulted
by grit and bare bone supported
in famished mouths
the overwhelming reassurance of nothing
And thou hast forsaken creation
for the purchase of a whim
necessities burden
shall forge the steal of the prison you are in
Though nestled internal of every atom
the balance of love
in stillness
awaits
it is but a system of
which no God creates
Lost beneath the darkness of these desperate rocks
a spirits impression to flowers
can not
Yet saves only sorrow for the years
a specter of the soul
to frequent the chains
of your liberation
Exalt upon nothing
all of emotional stanza
‘tis but the bedeviling
of your heart
And the gifted miracle
the open welcome universal
soft gentle whisper
a longing chanted for a reminder
But turn and make peace with nothing
If I were to confess,
accept responsibility for misdeeds,
would my honesty overwhelm you?
Would you judge me,
look for the door,
or
would you still love me?
Should I sustain loss,
require support,
might I lean on you?
Would you guide me
through life’s darkest struggles
and
would you still love me?
When age leaves scars
on body and mind,
could I trust you to remain true?
If my memory of you was impaired,
years lost,
dreams gone,
would you still love me?
If I were to pass,
would you recall the love we shared?
Should you move on,
would thoughts of our life together
still warm your heart?
I need only to know,
when life is no longer as easy as today,
would you still love me?

For Edward Ibeh’s “Would You Still Love Me?” contest
Bona fide reassurance to make you mine once more
Was the pledge to offer my life to yours
How could I get us back on the right track
After I made your heart like a giant marble crack
My boundless love was supposed to illuminate
To the deepest walls of your heart
To light even the furthest darkness
Would be a fantastic start
What did I do for you if anything at all
Other than mass time and effort to spend
Only for you to leave me anyway
These stories always have a rotten end
I pardoned then just to let you die
And like a young bird wishing to fly
to spread my wings to take off into the night sky
Without another moment's hesitation I'd try
Nevertheless still I say
to come knock on my door
So when you're lonely or afraid
With open arms you return once more
Reassurance
Vain is not our labour
Neither is our reward in figure
Nor is it in favour
We weren't subdued in vain to this rigour
To end up making an error
Our treasure we lay at the feet of God
In whom we have a surety of love
Though our ways be rough
And ahead lies the task very tough
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown
Rough as our ways may be
We never pray trouble to meet
Neither do we pray experiencing sorrow
But out of abundance to lend
Both to the ignorant and the learned
You wonder what you offer me,
Thinking I will experience better, want more, forget you.
But a life with you would not be a compromised existence: the opposite in fact.
A life with you
Is,
Can be,
Will be one day
All and everything I
Want,
Need.
You are better, you are more, you are unforgettable.
I hope I don't worry you.
I hope I reassure you when I say,
Without pretence, false hope or pride,
That I
Do,
Can,
Will,
Wait, indefinitely.
If I am the one you want, you
Can,
And do,
Have me.
I don't need you to give me the world,
Simply because it's not the world that I want.
It is you.
Always will be.
I drift away,
yet you are still
by my side,
aching for my
love,
if only in spirit-
I sift away,
yet you remain
loyal and tender
as if I was
your gentle doe.
For I never knew starvation until you
satisfied my appetite-
you never knew thirst until I quenched
with desire.
I know that our devotion can overcome
any fallacy we may encounter,
as I ache for your skin just to touch mine.
Need me as I need you,
see me as I see you.
Feed me as I feed you,
be with me...tonight.
Now I lay with chills rushing down my spine,
for you are my holy grail-
my lost has been found and I am
enraptured by your essence.
I need reassurance...
you stay with such ease.
Your Favorite Poem From August 2017
Julia Ward
August 31, 2017
This symbol of my affection, a sign
of my intention, was paid for over time
Tiny little symbol, sacred, so fine,
gently placed ring, in a tiny box
I couldn't help but wonder,
Am I your one...
to remove one's locks or...
could this be a blunder
look in our eyes, this will tell you...
this one symbol or a sign, in this tiny box,
placed on her slender finger, is love so true
so certain, to pic locks, tie new knots...
after all that has been said,
our affection will truly stand this course of time,
thus, finally on your finger, so we will wed
so too, this our sign, our symbol, soon to set just fine
Hope
As I gaze up with wonderous eyes into the night sky, I stand in awe at the vastness of our universe. Stars twinkle from millions of miles away, yet they seem close enough to grasp in your hand.
I continue to marvel at the endless obscurity that surrounds us all, and like a faithful companion, the chilly night winds blew through my hair, and across my face like the caress of a soft hand.
While staring at the boundlessness of space, waves of loneliness began to wash over me. Are we alone, with no one to watch over us? A concept that not only filled me with loneliness but with fear.
But then, my question was answered, and like a stone dancing across the water of a clear mountain lake, a glittering sphere of light raced across the starry sky, as if to say “fear not, I am here”
V.M. Tackett
