Best Safe Poems

Out of the burrows and hedges and dreys
Heads began bobbing and eyes were agaze.
Rumours were twittered and grunted and squealed:
‘The combine is coming to harvest the field!’
The moles and the voles and the rabbits and hares
All hurried and scurried and scattered in pairs.
The hedgehogs and...

Are your mind and heart open
Are you safe
For the weary and forsaken 
Are you safe
Does empathy over prejudice prevail 
Or do different perspectives tip your scale 
For the weak and the mistaken 
For the outcasts and the shaken
Are your mind and heart open

Are you safe...

A ship is safe in the harbor,
But that's not what ships are built for.

Because in the sum of our human gleams,
We have created the vessel for our dreams.

Its purpose: to retrieve the alien shore,
To scout, seek, achieve and explore.

A ship is meant to fly and...

The ship we have 
    known 
is sailing again
    It is sailing through 
the ocean of pain
    Through the sea 
it sails
    right on course 
Soon it will reach 
the islands 
the islands...

If you can work, or go to school.
You will be allowed to.  If not
how can you discover a non
spam or get rich scheme.
Promising to solve all of your
financial problems.  "You can
earn $10,00 working from home."
I hung up my cell phone two
times.

"Somewhere Safe Little Ghost, in your Mirrors"

You asked me, 
what happens when we go -
then what next?
I replied to you, 

“God, only knows, little ghost”.

You asked me,
“When you visit, after you go -
how will I know you’re there?’
I replied to you, 

“Look for me 
in...

Until tomorrow, feel safe in my warm embrace;
don't feel the rage of those frightening storms...
whisper a passionate wish--- a sentimental phrase.


Stars won't appear to delight, excite and appease;
and with gloominess and clouds to marr our days...
until tomorrow, feel safe in my warm embrace.


We are stupefied...

In my thoughts there floats an island tranquil, warm

    That is sometimes sunny, sometimes sweet with rain

         Sound, the harbor that's my refuge thru each storm

Never knew the space between time and you
     Fractions divided, pulling us apart . . .
  This wasn't my desire, this point of view
Distraction, less connection of the heart

Perhaps the plan exceeds our existence
  With what happens next, the...

I know my words are safe with you
They flow from my heart tried and true
I have nothing to fear
You will protect and not harm me
For my beauty is what you see
To my heart you are near

I’m free to expose how I feel
You cherish what you...

"I feel safe with you, totally.
No one makes me feel more secure than you do 
whenever you are with me,
and so I submit myself to you willingly,
fully exposing to you all of my vulnerabilities,
knowing that you will never hurt me and always protect me.
It is...

My heart hit the wall like graffiti spray.
Shakespeare could have cast you 
just as you had cast me.
Playtime was rushed to sleep with resistance, 
as cinderblock thoughts tossed and turned 
until drifting became corroding numbness 
like the rusting rain refrain.
Each drop held my eyes then...

I'm so sorry to leave you dear, hard to say good bye to one so new,
  The nine months and few hours in my arms held, are far as I can go.
  Your fireman guardian angel will protect and find a home for...

I wander the night
Afraid to stand still
Home is not safe
The air holds a chill

My eyes flit around
Darting like mice
Watching wearily
My hands feel like ice

I shiver and chitter 
From more than just cold
My feet shuffle slowly
Fear barely controlled

I finally reach it
A place that’s secure
Cold, dark and...

He kept a small room
he wasn’t in it very often
but it was there and he knew it
it was safe

for though life had opened roads
that needed to be trodden
and he was often far away
his room was 
waiting for him

in it was his bookcase
teal blue stained wood
shelves...
