Best Soothing Poems

Oh beloved,
I'm like Rumi without Shams.
A shivering summer soul,
secretly stalked by wild white winter wolves.
A chiffon child chiselling chimerical calligraphy,
cursed with invisible ink, silent in sentimental sighs.
I've become the son of solitude,
tired from torture and torment,
descending like surreal sinking sunsets shaded in scarlet,
yearning for a...

Pained piano keys compose 
a chorus-less composition.
Melancholic moods crave
to sway back and forth  
like bluebells and lilies dancing,
when kissed by the morning breeze.

Forlorn flute flirts with sympathetic tunes, 
echoing vivid vibrations, 
piercing layers of a forgotten heart.
Somber undertones seduce the soul,
as it struggles to...

Even in the hardest of times
there is a soothing light
a beacon of hope
a glimmer of faith 
that things can be better

A sparrow's song 
soulful and strong 
calls to the night
that beauty is there
even if not seen

Take back your plight
and pledge to behold
If only in your...

As the rain patters on the roof,
It speaks to me, new things to know
Soothing my soul, as darkness falls
Nothing left, but the wind to blow

Patter, patter, a rhythmic tune
May help me sleep into the night
My thoughts a river, in a way
Not as scattered to find...

My legs give out
           and I sink
                   onto the grassy blanket,
whose thorns   feel like velvet
  against parched skin.
       
I close my eyes and

(Sonnet with rhyme on both ends of alternating lines)

The starkness of my world now that he’s gone
pervades in all I see and hear and feel,
but darkness swallows all until the dawn
invades.  Then what I’ve lost is made more real!

I yearn for Moon’s return -...

She finds joy through the prism of love
 Basking in its caress and being coy
 Its melody soothing, like a cooing dove
 She finds joy through the prism of love
 A precious gift that shines from above
 Into love's light emotions deploy
 She finds joy...

You cradled me in your womb with love and care,
Love was in your voice, touch, and demeanor, mother.
Your soothing voice calmed me down from every scare,
You cradled me in your womb with love and care.
The love that you showed me was like no other,
It was...

(1.)
Soothing Dream, Bathe Me In Her Light
 
Of lonely night and vivid dread
sad supper and large empty bed
denying wind, sets soul to stir
romantic memories of her
she, tender angel through and through
only true love I ever knew!
 
Soothing dream, bathe me in her light,
sail sweet passionate...

When days reflect like the veil of nightfall,
once bright eyes, like somber stars fail to glow.
World looks so big, but your soul feels so small,
as deep sighs mimic heartbeats breathing slow.

Before the storm absorbs my spirit's hope,
I search beyond weeping shadows of clouds,
counting my blessings...

Take a deep breath
Let yourself relax
Close your eyes
Come with me

Inhale
Exhale

Let me guide you
I’ll take you on a magical journey

Give in to the moment
Relax
Breathe
Close your eyes

You’re there
You’re there
You’re outside the Taj Mahal 
A full moon bathes it in a silver glow
It’s serene
Take all the time you...

In my arms you can forget your troubles
Close your eyes and leave them all behind
I’ll sway you tenderly to loving rhythms
I’ll comfort you to sweet musical perfumes
And protect you with all the serenity
Of a thousand starry midnights
Under feathery wispy lakeshore willows
That waver in cool late...

Seeping through families of oaks,
Surrounded by pines, laurels and all…
Gentle leaves, so alive – yes, they breathe,
Silent like the peace I find here,
Enclosed in their embrace, 
Soft music of dove and robin, praising,
Ever praising with their easy tweet,
Tempering the woods with their melodies,
So old, yes,...

mist covers mountains
soothing shadows shades of doubt
...hues of soft silver

Silence speaks louder than the shouting
That consumes the lives of those
Who are destined to fail
With their hatred
And bitterness
So dark and dreary
Dim even in sunlight
Wishing for the darkness of night
When they might hide
From the beauty
That whispers
Love

Silence colors hearts with shimmering
Shades of solitude, isolation
Fumbling fingers of doubt
Encouraging...
