Best Shh Poems
I remember so clearly a day
when Mommy made it go away
When every hurt and every pain
with just her tender touch, would wane
When sting of bitter snow filled chill
wrapped in her arms, would melt at will
And when her enigmatic smile
could make me sit still all the while
I remember so fondly a day
when Mommy knew just what to say
And every lesson yet unlearned
forewarned, to not let me get burned
Some days when I feel cold inside
the days when I just want to hide
I wish that Mommy still could say
Shhh, I'll make it go away
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Dont wake the baby.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Don't, you're being to loud.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Don't stomp around.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Don't act out.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Wait you didn't make a sound.
Where are you?
Mommy, right behind you.
Now look who's being loud.
Shh! Babies are sleeping Dorie said.
Slumbering in dreamland with her Uncle Fred
Tummies full of dolly potatoes, they are amply fed
Especially after gulping down cinnamon bread
Two dreaming of a trip on an African bobsled
Cozily cuddled up in a rocking chair bed.
One baby dolly in a nightshirt made by Grandpa Ed.
All three in dreamland where only angels tread.
A dull-looking scuffed up ebony toolbox full of pure happiness,
Sat in the back of Charley’s old green Chevy pick-up truck,
Waiting for him to drink his three cups of coffee.
“Another adventure!” the wrench said to the clamps.
The tools knew that Charley would be using them today for sure.
He had thrown a tarp, some paint cans, and his can of nails in last night.
They were eager to get started, happy to see what they would be building.
“Here he comes!” the hammer said. “Silence!” There was instant compliance.
The tools shook with exuberance, feeling today’s adventure.
Would they be building a window seat, porch, deck? Someone’s park bench?
“SHHHH!” the pliers cautioned them. “He is getting in!”
Charley had no idea they were aware he was lifting souls
One project at a time. A simple carpenter, with a good soul…
Shh, surrender silent sorrows.
Subconsciously slip into stillness,
sedately surrounded in serenity's song.
Slumber satisfied, slithering softly between
silky soap scented sanitized sheets.
Soak up summaries of summers spent splashing at
seashores, sandles sifting through salt scented sand,
as sapphire skies shine splendidly.
Scores of silver seagulls soar stunningly
above saltwater seaweed scenery.
Suddenly snorkeling with seahorses,
you somehow become the studied subject.
Swimming in submarine schools, scarcely secluded,
you become someone's significant someone.
Spryly spinning synchronously side by side
someone special, sprinkled in sentimentality,
speaking shrouded sounds,
you shift seamlessly into sound sleep.
"Speak some sense slower," some seahorse shrieks.
Sensibly speak shrouded sounds slower, softer,
so she can sleep sometime soon.

Secrets:
Slyly discrete;
Suspense no-one forgets;
Seriousness not without heat:
Repeat.
burning need of your soul
take a glimpse to ignite
fire like slug you whole
one who steals your fantasy
have special given name
queen of Fire
touching you
hugging you
flux you in my flame
hunger all you think
night whispers
crown you as a man
My single gaze
magnet to worship
have special given name
Empress of Desires
sloshing in torrent of rain
yearning for you can't
an innocent prey
plunge on knees
fling my passion
Resist me?
You won't get easy
have special given name
Seductress of Temptation
You're hunted in my love
craving you cant deny
you see me when you
look in the mirror
sorceress of Passion
Nothing about me is tame
voice that whispers of joy
song plays in mind
sweet lure of melody
one who hold you grasp
Siren of Rapture
euphoria you thirst for
glacy on lips
show you the paradise
the nymph of Ecstasy
taken away your pain
without any gain
stars in skies up
celestial wishing well
Am the Goddess of Love
embrace you in my arms
pray for your ease
a shroud of mist
Am the goddess of mercy
will never go away
all in one i am she
The stars have called me…
And whispered in my ear:
“Why stay in…
when the lights of her eyes haven’t ceased shining?
Shining as bright as the stars in heaven,
And as unique as the snowflakes the clouds send down…
Quiet…and alone she stands,
Fondling with her hair strands…
Glancing at the moon with a vibrant gentle face…
…watch as she sighs and slowly closes her eyes
With a tear streaming down her face…
Alone she stands…
Become her cape and keep her warm,
Hold her close and tell her you won’t let go…
Whisper in her ear and tell her: “I am here…”
If she asks what has brought you here, ask her this:
“If our meeting wasn't because of fate, then why have we met?”
But if she insists…
Whisper to her…
”The stars called out to me… asking me to guide you home,
Back to the heavens where you have left your wings…”
That I’m sure she’ll believe…”
I swear…that’s what the stars said…
And…alone here you stand…
Fondling with your hair…
Gazing at the moon…with a tear mark on your face…
…Pardon me miss…but you seem to have left your wings back home…
I told a secret to the trees,
who told it to the sky,
who told it to a little bird,
that was soaring by
the secret turned the trees barren
the sky a purple haze
the bird then flew from these northern skies
the secret of arctic days
Shh.....
Shh....do not speak,
listen to the sound of peace,
Shh....do not speak,
listen to the sound of water,
Shh.....do not speak,
let tour heart speak for you,
do not speak,
your eyes tell me
with out words,
do not speak,
please,
just listen and hold my hand,
shh......
do not speak......
listen,
I'm scared to express myself,
Because the world might find me weird,
But in fact I'm not timid.
If I avoid contact with people,
It doesn't mean I'm disconnected with the world,
It means I'm not interested!
When books ornament my hands all day long,
Don't conclude me as a book worm,
It means I want to wander in my own world!
If I spend most of my time with nature and talk with animals,
It's not that I'm mad,
It means they are better than rest of the world!
If you find me talking less
Or find a situation to search me in the frame,
If you always find me missing,
Please don't search for me and remember I'm not escaping,
You can only hear single answer from me,
'shh, I'm hiding from stupid people! '
Shhh...another prayer Sir
don't make a sound
Ya, it's those humans
on the ground
You should help 'em
same as before...
and lose the pen!
there is no score
unless Your counting
the sick and hurt
all those dead
in the dirt
who begged for aid
pleading Your name
the very ones
You always blame
for what?... who cares
give 'em a hand
look at her...
she can barely stand
why do we listen
and not do a thing?
uh oh
their starting to sing
''Your so good
la- la- la
love You more
than my-Ma-Ma''
Sir, that song!
how is this fair?
HELLO... where are You
Anyone there?!!
Shh...No words need to be said, I'm gonna treat you like the princess you are.
We won't need the covers on this bed, now let me treat you like a star!
Shh...Let's just take it slow, so remove them clothes.
I'm gonna set your body aglow, and I'm starting with your toes!
Shh...Tonight is your night, everything I do is for you.
D#%m your body looks dynamite, and this bed was made for two.
Shh...I want your skin to meld into mine, becoming one with me.
As we intertwine, I want us to feel each other tremble in ecstacy!
Shh...I only wanna hear one sound, and that's you moaning my name.
Baby you take me heaven bound, and I'm on you, like a moth to a flame!
Shh...Girl, you've lit a bonfire, and you got me trembling at your touch.
You are all I desire, and I've never craved a woman so much!
Shh...I can't help feeling this way, so let us together, release our energy.
As I explode my D.N.A., let us forever make universal poetry!!
Silvery slivers of shadowy moonshine slid slowly into sundown silence.

Secrets
A drop of silence.
A long road into conscience.
Fear is frightened.
My whispers moist the mirror,
I have been talking to; lips move.
A sweep with my hand reveals me,
at least partially; eyes, nose…
The broken images look like
an unborn soul with unfulfilled
desire, to be born and thrive.
My wishes, of reversing time
and walk backwards to the root,
set me alight; I see secrets
being destroyed in that fire.
