Best Wish You Were Here Poems
Canopy of trees
trying to cross sky limit....
green revolution
a distant river
lying naked lazily....
an enticing call
the old learned stones
whispering me history ....
wish you were here now

Here I am in a place so familiar;
I've transported myself
To a serene distant shore
With periwinkle blue skies
Hovering above my head.
It's soothingly tranquil here.
The sights and sounds are captivating!
I hear faint mellifluous bird songs,
Incessantly murmuring zephyr
And the sounds of crashing waves.
I watch the waves crash
As I inhale the misty sea air;
I feel it on my skin, but alas,
It's not the same without you this time.
As I watch the waves crash yonder,
Exploding sky-high on jagged rocks,
My mind holds only thoughts of you.
We've waded into this diaphanous,
Knee-deep shallows together.
We stamped our footprints on these white sands
Not so long ago. I feel the paradise blues
Because I desperately miss you
And wish you were here.
Isn't this haven made for lovers anymore?
This peaceful shore would be heaven
Only if you were here
Chasing the afternoon sun with me.
Despite it's beauty, it's the loneliest place.
Nature blows a sad trombone
As I watch the waves crash
E ver was there an amazing poet
L avishing us with your poetry
A nd
I ntriguing our minds
N ever will there be nearly
E nough of your poetry for me to read
G oing to all poetic places
E ver searching for more
O ver and over again
R ight on you are
G iving so freely of yourself
E very word coming straight from your heart
Thank you Lainie you are the main reason I am here today.
When I came here in 2006 you gave me the courage to keep writing.
Anyone who has not read any of Elaine George's poetry should check it out.

I wish you were here with me each day
when the birds announce the arrival of dawn
I wish you were here with me at night
when the stars twinkle and moon shines through
There has never been a time you were not part of my life
My heart feels empty when your not here by my side
Without you here with me my soul knows no rest
It's solemn in the morning and throughout each passing day
I miss you more when daylight slowly fades away.
I appreciate the things that you do more than you know
We need each other like springtime blooms, that grow
In the rain and in the sunshine, all day long.
We've laughed and cried together,through good & bad times
Sometimes now while your away, I get so overwhelmed
It gives me great comfort in knowing this agony will pass
One thought that appeases me, is what I know for sure
You'll take me in your loving arms and I could not ask for more.
I know that even though you are away from me for now
Our love still endures brightly though from afar.
Two hearts bound together, that can't be pulled apart
The journeys we take in our lives, forever to last
Can't be erased just by you're going over there and my love
When you return back to me again one day soon
We'll enjoy lovely sunrises and sunsets once more
So come with me where dreams are born and time is never planned.
Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings,
Forever, in Never Never Land."
I’m driving down this country road, it’s all in bloom
Top down I’m listenin’ to our favorite tune
Missin’ you next to me with your perfume
Wishin’ you were here with me
Thinkin’ ‘bout last night and what you said
Can still feel your touch as I look ahead
It feels so good that it fills my head
I’m wishin’ you were here with me
Here with me..
I know with you I just win
It’s easy to see..
If I don't know now then when
I find myself smiling just thinking of you
The world through your love is such a great view
This feelin’s so real I don't want to come to
I’m wishin’ you were here with me
I’m wishin’, you were here
Here with me..
I know with you I just win
It’s easy to see..
If I don't know now then when
We’ll have our time just you and me girl
I wouldn’t trade you for the whole world
I think we ought to just give it a whirl
I’m wishin’ you were here with me
Yeah, I’m sure this is the time for you and me girl..
I’m wishin’ you were here with me..
Here with me..
I know with you I just win
It’s easy to see..
If I don't know now then when
I’m wishin’ you were here
Oh wishin’, wishin’, wishin’ you were here..
(I am wishin’)
I am wishin’
(You’re here with me)
You’re here with me
(Wishin’ you were with me)
Wishin’ you were here with me
Here with me..
(Here with me)
I’m wishin’ you here with me..
I’m wishin’ you here with me..
I’m wishin’ you here with me..
Our Father in heaven gave us a special gift.
Mom was one who kept us from going adrift.
The sound of her voice took away our fears.
Mom was the one who heard our tears.
She had a gift for calming and healing.
Mom always knew how we were feeling.
When it was hard to hold on to life’s rope.
Mom was the one who taught us how to cope
She would tell us to get on our knees every day.
Mom was the one who taught us how to pray.
Her words are with us for we are apart.
Mom loved us deeply with all her heart.
We reach our arms up to heaven and wish we could touch.
Mom, we just want you to know we still love you very much.

I wish you were here
For one more birthday to honor your presence. For one more Easter to decorate your home. For one more Thanksgiving to help with cooking. For one more Christmas to open our presents. For one more occasion to say that we love you.
I wish you were here----
For one more day of sharing your kindness. For one more hour of telling some secrets. For many more moments of getting to know you, and to comfort your hands as you affectionately needed. For hundreds of times to mend whatever was broken.
I wish you were here----
To appreciate the warmth and enjoyment of nature, as you'd take lifetime journeys you weren't able to finish. For you to stand outside without a wheelchair below you, and walk for miles as the sun shines upon you.
I wish you were here---
To enjoy your family and friends, and to spend that time which was devastatingly shortened. For you to be happy and healthy, without all that pain you had tragically suffered. I wish you were here for thousands of reasons.
Now that you're gone, and the distance is lonely, my smiling has vanished while the tears are constantly flowing. I'm here on Earth. You left me behind. You're free in Heaven. There's no sickness or grief. God's kingdom is privileged with the wings of perfection. They've been blessed with an ultimate Angel. I miss you my dear mother and I'm praying you've heard me. When it's my time to go, I'm hoping you'll find me. As the most beautiful star which glistens above, I know you're the one who's watching and listening.
I wish you were here----I'll never forget you..
I wish you were here---you'll always be treasured.
Deborrah Ann Stenberg----
sometimes i wish you were here
any day any hour to see your face
the pain is so close to a fear
the love and hate is a disgrace
i will fall when i see you
hope your the same not brand new
but maybe that wouldn't be so bad
you'll be hurt i'll be mad
you tell be don't be shaken
i am for i've been taken
by the heart of the one i hate
one i love brought by fate
sometimes i wish you were here
because without i am scared
Wish You Were Here
The hay bales golden, crimsons and ochre sere leaves fallen-- the caw of the Jackdaw
There was no Nightmare until after the fall, painted and swooned like a Fuseli
the clouds float in staccato and layered rich tones: vibrato from sparrows joins the chorus
the suffering alluring woman frail calling on Nature, who chides the mawkish
yet still holds in her in Her own way,
as she ambles and thinks of loves’ long ago
sadness your becoming frailty; weakness a handmaiden, its alluring on you
and there is a mourning call from the maw of the jackdaw
and the skies go crimson, deep ambers until a now purplish blue
and the clouds become negatives as rotation continue-- I see the first star
appear and think of all the females who thought love’s true
“Boot in the face, the brute. brute heart of a brute like you” said Plath
Tolstoy’s males prevail, the amative women frail, and frailty is true
The tender heart a pulpy thing is simply the mind at war
And Nature now turned to dusky twilight transforms her as before
Envision a night alone in a bed,
No longer I consider it my own.
All I have the option is to feel your body
Interlaced with mine,
With glossy silk sheets to hold our delicate
squeezed skin.
Laying your head on my most loved pad,
My face will be covered in your blossom
scented neck.
With each touch, I will move in nearer.
With each kiss, our hearts will pulsate quicker.
My fingers will go through the profundities
of your hair,
As you permit my lips to graze each
inch of your skin.
As I lie on this unfilled bed and tend
to this scarving heart,
I just wished if you were here...
“I wish you were here” By: Deanna Lambert
I wish you were here
Telling me it’s going to be alright
When I stay up all night
I just want you to know
That you’ll never leave my heart
For you have an irreplaceable hold that will never rest
And I hope you know that you’ll always be the best
But there is a reason for everything
And that’s why I hope you’re happy
Because I miss you so much
I do wish you were here
To tell me to never fear
For you’re always here
I hope you know
I won’t forget that you’re watching
Making sure I’m always safe
What more could I ask for?
Maybe for you to stay a little more…
But it was time
To take you away
And don’t you ever think
That anyone will take your place
No matter what
Because you’re the one I wish was here
Standing near
Telling me that it’s going to be alright
A fireball flashed and seared the sky
When silhouetted man on boat
With oars sliced the quiet sea
Seagulls swirled around the gilded space
Tracked the swimming silvered flesh
Waves slugged on sands broke into a splash
For some moment I wish you’re here
Together we’ll fall into a trance
Watching Seagulls swirling round and round
That now looks like a dancing shadow
Floating against the vast expanse
The water had already sunk the sun
The sky is now a purple fabric
Yet I am still here lying in the sand, drunk
I see you and I get a thrill
Just by your face
Seeing your picture makes my day
And I look forward to your words
I love to flirt with you when I can
And I wait for your reply
To say I wish that we had more
Is the understatement of the year
I often sit and look at you and
Wonder what you think
And hope that you think of me
When you have time
I miss you though we’ve never met
And I wish you were here
Good night my dear I wish you well
You’re always in my dreams
We never think our lives,
are in vain.
We always believe we have purpose –
even amidst the pain.
Wish you knew.
It’s hard to watch a loved one stumble,
and drift away.
Yet, it’s more difficult to watch the misery –
while you try and make them stay.
Wish you cared.
I imagine the good years, was it reality
or some sick dream?
I consider the happy times,
were they what they seemed?
Wish you had stayed.
We weren’t enough to mask the misery –
or hide your resentful eyes .
In the end we weren’t your happiness –
weren’t important, life-long ties.
Wish you were happy.
We’re a vacant shell of memories,
darkened with a cold, distant emptiness.
We’re wretchedly dying inside daily –
our broken hearts you will forever possess.
Wish you were here.
If you were here,
I would shower you with kissed all night.
If you were here,
I would wrap you in my arms all tight.
I know.. I know I sound like a maniac,
But its true as your thoughts turn me insomniac.
I crave for you to hold me near you
I wish I were there with you too
But ALAS! There isn't a peace sign with a dove
And here too,
Everything just sums up to be ''One Sided Love".
Sometimes, I hope , dream and fantasize
About things which are never gonna be true;
As I know realize.
They say you should let go
Or else, your career, life gets low.
It doesn't really matter what they say
But yet, they mold my thoughts like clay.
If you were here,
Maybe this would have happened
Maybe today, I might not hr frightened,
Of people and their talks
Maybe you are the reason why the world mocks.
Yet, I wish you were here with all my heart,
I wish destiny had never made us part
For all I think now is of you
And the reason why I live is just because of you.
That is why,
I wish you were here,
I wish you were here.
