Best Support Poems

My favourite chair
Said to me one night
Hey! Highlander
What you going to write
 
Is it going to be a fantasy
A Haiku or a Senyru
What ever comes from your thoughts
It's from the inner you
 
I have supported and rested 
While you have written your writes
From many an...

“Support your local poet please”
Said the man with hand out and down on one knee
I’m down on my luck
And for only a buck
My humble verses will put you at ease

Whatever your pleasure
Whatever your mood
A simple rhyme is sure to soothe
Perhaps a Sonnet or Ballad will...

The physician offered no hope,

But why did you push me away?

You only said you couldn’t cope

To watch me decline, fade away.

As I approach my final day,

I long for a place in your heart.

I wish some support you’d impart.

This path is not one I had planned

And...

My Dad, a pretty ordinary man, 
Suddenly taken by a heart attack.
People are offering all that they can, 
Cakes and hot casseroles we do not lack,
Hard to believe the whole town has our back.
Their kindness seems to be never ending
The new normal of mine just...

The moonlight bathed her cell in pallid light while she sat hunched over her desk, clutching her pen between her confound fingertips. As she bled ink of symphonic symphonies yearning to break free, dancing like ethereal fireflies in the dusky barren lands.

Exiled by the hypocrisy of...

When darkness spreads across the land,
and storm clouds form above;
a friend will be there, outstretched hand,
and offer you their love.
They stand beside you through the dark,
and always without strings,
to help you make it ‘round the mark;
the wind beneath your wings.

Whenever doubt forms in my mind

the dream’s
to make 
a difference
an impact
in someone’s life
to spark
that twinkle
in their eye
and stir
the passion
in their heart

I hope this letter, to you, a stranger 
Becomes a letter to a friend 
As we travel on this journey to its end
Yes we’ll start off as mere strangers
Trying to share the selfsame track
And what matter, if you stray a little
For I'll just lift you...

Both you and I breathe the ocean, inhaling the waves, 
With each surf passing through our lungs
we are immersed and each verse of our life is told through the rolling tide,
At the depths of our love desperate vibrations boom within our ears,
Yet tears always fall...

I hesitated
Sorry I brought up the subject
I choke up
But he insisted
So I blurted it out
In the end I bared it all
He listened
He said he understood
And sympathized
I didn’t buy it but
It felt good to tell him
The weight off my shoulders

i won’t pretend
to grasp
the complexity
of all you feel
deep within

you need to know
with all your heart
i’m right here
by your side
and my emotions
entwined with yours
one chaotic vortex
caught in that whirlwind
of togetherness
