Best Stay Poems

The voice of my eyes
Speaks silent words
A language to be heard
What does it say?
Oh baby, it’s telling you
Telling you to stay

The voice of my heart
Thundering through my chest
As your head lies on my breast
Oh baby, what does it say?
It’s telling you
Telling you to stay

The voice...

An end-of-August day, the air is crisp--
the only hint that fall is on its way.
And we’ve gone to the park to share this bliss,
for school will soon cut short his time for play.

The wide, paved paths meander round a pond,
'neath walnut-laden trees, and over creeks.
Bike...

Stay with me, hold my hands so tight.
Stay with me, I need you here by my side.
Stay with me, until the clouds get dark.
Stay with me, I'll take you somewhere we can hide.

Stay with me, you are the only one I...

My heart can bear no more
The evil torments of black widows
Who wish to kiss you once
Then to devour your very soul
Beware these ones, who wish you buried

Who among you has an open heart?
I shall invite you to wipe a tear
An embrace
Would cure the hardships, we...

just looking
for opportunities
to misinterpret
and distort
every word

looking for a reason
any excuse
to be miserable
as if there isn’t
enough grief
in the world already

Within a dream I wish to stay
and turn my back on light of day.
For dreams are filled with childish hope,
the kind cruel truth tries to choke.

I close my eyes and drift away,
to see the face of yesterday.
A time that holds a special place,
where all felt...

It's true, for some hearts burning embers
 that a pet is like a family member
and how painful life is, when they slip away
 but some pets stay.

Dutchboy wandered in some fourteen years ago
 a young pup on the run from one who did not know

My wife may go, but I must stay
My unused ticket in my hand
Her flight is finally underway

The Nazis held my full dossier
The word had come from high command
My wife may go, but I must stay

Our cigarettes within the tray
With lipstick stains upon her brand
Her flight...

Don't do it.
Don't fall back into that dark hole.
Not again.
You're strong.
You're very strong.
You've come far and you are able to go further.
Don't give up.
You got this.
I promise.
Mom is watching.
She's proud of you.
Just because you made 
A few bad decisions
Doesn't mean you're a bad person.
She loves...

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.

Oh, stay with me for always love
though I may pull away,
or strike your cheek with brazen hand,
then tease you with my play.

Pledge your heart my cherished one,
though deeds do not deserve.
My words cry out from silent tongue.
Why have I lost my nerve? 

Spare me tears...

While we stay silent
The fight is going on.
In Chicago, Los Angeles, New York
The West Indies
And the Lebanon
All over the world
There is a tale to tell
Of some living in paradise
Whilst others live in hell.

Its not a random stumble
Nor a twist of faith,But a master plan.
By those...

We were just children of different ages,
From varied places brought on different days  
By the police to that one children’s home.
At first, we did not know each other’s name,
But we soon developed a bond that was
Peculiar to people in the same plight.

We were victims...
