Best Sighing Poems

Have you ever really heard
The sweet twitter of the night bird,
Flying towards the refuge trees:
It's like the sighing of a breeze.

Two lovers sit on make shift bench,
Strangely they spoke in makeshift French,
Hoping their sweet whispers would please:
It's like the sighing of a breeze.

A boy and...

In the hollows of a long and dreamless night,
The soothing beauty of a dawning twilight
And tired sighs of a homeless train passing by
Keep me company in the loneliness of this high
And I speak aloud to the crowd of whispering trees,
“I’ll live to find peace before...

Forlorn, my Muse breathes a profound, deep sigh; 
silent, I just observe and don't ask why.
Her sigh belies her true, fervent desire,
for she's forever near to just inspire.
Though sad, she sees me in the cool of morn
by brook and bower where my songs are born:
she,...

Sighing is one of life’s simpler pleasures
So often taken for granted, it appears,
It replaces many less desirable measures.

For example, learning a bill is in arrears
One can merely sigh and lay the matter aside,
So often taken for granted, it appears.

Another example, hearing a remark so snide
Showing...

Although a withered tree possesses a charm of its own,
aside from elegance, what should this old man do,
because not even possess a taste of ordinary
but he is the man of base, the incarnation of disgust.

If wrinkled face covered with ugly age spots,
clumsy shaking hands with...

The silent song of the sighing breeze

      
         The silent song of the sighing breeze
            murmured but not listened !

Oh "the silent song of the sighing breeze"_
and melody of the birds chirping song,
the gentle swaying of the forest's trees;
sounds that mingle and twine  . . .  the whole daylong !

I come upon some wildflowers growing,
fragile blooms in yellow, purple and blue;
all...

Last evening, I noticed the Ohio River is sighing
As its waters flowed lazily toward the west,
I wondered if old rivers might fear their dying.

They tell me her fish are no good for frying,
Technology prevents her from reaching a crest
Last evening, I noticed the Ohio River...

I close my eyes and I see; a broken smile that is me
I close my eyes and I feel; an intangible light that makes it real.

I open my eyes and I imagine; my broken smile completing
I open my eyes and I touch; the reality that...

As restlessness spirals like swirls in a shimmer,
An aura showered path swallows blackness as it grows,
As fires dine on forests, like rust in fast-forward.
A brightly lit trail leads to an abandoned charcoal house..

The klanking of glass streams gently through the breeze,
Patterns lay in the sand,...

They deck the halls

And wistful sigh

So much has gobbled

Up the days

The shopping list

The cards sent out

So slippery in

The traffic’s maze.

They hear the songs

Of warm good will

And feeble prayers

For peace on earth

But down inside

They bungle still

The festive fount

That gives life worth.

The manger and

The wise men’s trek

Mere...

The last time someone I cared for
shut me out this quickly and this much,
was the last time they closed that door,
leaving me aught but the broken handle to clutch.

They say I shouldn't feel this way in two weeks,
should not yet get this hurt;
I wish so,...

In the night,
when a shattered moonbeam
fell on the earth piece by piece
and scatter all over on the deserted plain,
a woman lived many and long years of pitiful life 
went like dew on the grass.

The bridle of misery 
the woman tried so hard to shake off
yet...

In softness outside
The clouds waft on by beyond
Sighing without rain
As umbrellas utilized
To shield women from the sun

Catching Moon Sighs

 
From time to time
as clouds pass
     — those  plumpted puffs — 
               touring  by 
…Out
