Best With Empathy Poems

Poverty and hunger are bedfellows.~ The Poet~ 

Alluring, pleading
Yet it will burn,
Pangs of hunger
Immanent yearn.
Desperate child 
So forlorn
For the poverty 
To which she was born.
Minds meant to be astute,
Mental distortion
So destitute. 
The steaming broth
Humbly offered,
No wrath for their plight
No relief in sight
The bounty so meager

Its still raining, my eyes still tired,
wet lawns with little puddles drowning our earth -
but despite the monochromatic skyline,
birds arrived with their morning song -
not afraid to get their wings wet.

Selfish sun has abandoned me,
so I ponder amongst the puddles and serenades,
is this an analogy...

Here rests the realm of the
thorn-tongued truth ~ 
a mortal mirage of doomed pentacles,
where forks and kettles speak
  the language of witchery,
  the dialects of the diabolical,
listening as feral desires fill
the aquatic hues beyond
eclipsed chambers, chained
with lunatic gold ~ 
where the beast impregnates
the...

“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed” ~ Unseeking Seeker

As the sky dissolves remnants
 of scripted dogma,
to uncloak a canopy ~
embroidered with empathy,
carved with clarity,
illuminated with integrity,
 tangled...

I have been there, and seen her
The darkest parts of myself which hide in the caves of my soul

I have been elsewhere, and seen her too
The most joyous thought covered in dreams and filled with hope

I have been everywhere, and seen her
The deepest darkest yearnings...

I n v i s i b l e threads,
a mystical m i r a g e,
binding the silhouette of the sky
to the
skin of cinnamon sequels
in the deep blue chakra
that sees beyond
illusive clouds,
carrying rainbow roses
and thornless buds
quenched with jasmine rain.

Yet I remain engrossed
in the rising...

I heard the sad song of a lonely dove
My heart grew heavy as she softly cried
Her lover gone no longer by her side
She coos a grieving song for her lost love
With empathy I looked to Him above
To pray a silent prayer toward the skies
Please search...

Have you ever hung on a cross
metaphorically
Have you ever had too many
lines on the mirror
too many labels peeled of
bottles at dawn
cones that wreak
seen monsters
come out of waves you surf
eleven in the morning

Can you relate to this
attempt to catch
my attempt to
prompt you to think
without indoctrination
without malice
with...

Have you ever heard the cry of the broken hearted?
Whose heart bleeds as it pleads as a result to losing, the one girl, he needs
Humble your heart and mind and access with empathy; well enough to perceive it clearly
I must warn you, it’ll be the...

Where did you find safety when you were a child, 
?Did flight also help you, I wonder my friend? 
?I felt like it did me, but that was because
?My mom didn’t try hard to suss her son out.?
And having no fear of dark criminal plot,...

And David slew Goliath
       The goliath of his cares 
        A little lad he was in stature
         But a giant at heart he is...

Beautiful sweet face
With eyes that reflect easily
What the skies have to offer
Sometimes clear, sometimes stormy.

Her heart wounded by a break
The desolation in her family
Striking at the one who most matters
And I must be strong with empathy.

I can still feel her little frame
Sleeping in my arms...
