Carefully Poems - Poems about Carefully

I fold myself into smiles I don’t feel, like paper carefully hiding the truth

I fold myself into smiles I don’t feel, like paper carefully hiding the truth,
I walk hallways as if I’m not slowly melting into the shadows of silent walls,
I nod in conversations as if I’m truly listening, but in reality,
I’m just trying to remember what it was like to breathe without apologizing for every breath.

You wear sadness like pearls, carefully strung between sighs

You wear sadness like pearls, carefully strung between sighs,
in a silent elegance that surrounds your neck,
as if pain were something to be worn with pride.
They marvel at your resilience, viewing it as a spectacle,
yet they never question why suffering
must be your personal signature.
They whisper about your grace, admiring your courage,
but isn't grace just another name

Carefully Packed

Time is like a suitcase,
each moment carefully packed
for memory's journey.

In a carefully woven tapestry of illusions, words dance on the political stage

In a carefully woven tapestry of illusions, words dance on the political stage,
where euphemisms wear their shining masks,
dressing promises like festive garments,
and voters, caught in their spell, float on waves of fragile hopes,
seeking in the distance the silhouettes of democracy and freedom,
like ships navigating seas of uncertainties,
where the shifting winds of public opinion demand their

A Gentle Reminder to Drive Carefully

Hey, driver, I just want you to know
That somebody loves you here below
But if you keep driving the way you do
Too fast to heaven you will get through
And that someone you thought loved you true
Will not wait long to marry someone new.

Listen Carefully

Early morn
          Two wide-set yellow eyes
            Peek through cobalt blue
              Remnants of last night's rain
       

Step Carefully

The naive garden
is filled with snakes
To slither and nest
—where ignorance waits

Carefully Chosen Words

A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Carefully chosen words move it along
The poet’s soul those voices you hear
A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Without intending brings forth a tear
Words like lyrics to a special love song
A poem that flows will soothe the ear
Carefully chosen words move it along.

Listen Carefully

Sorry, can't agree with your witless views.
To me friendship demands to say drawback.
Worry, weaknesses in thought will confuse.
Be free from sadistic thoughts just to wrack.

Tell me, If I don't tell, who else will say?
You're interfering on personal space.
Agree, your actions lost trust, don't betray;
they are dependent on your gentle grace.

Don't try to control life, HE

Listen Very Carefully Allow Him To Come Into Your Heart of Hearts Jesus-

Brother you need to listen;
Listen to the image of God within your ears;
Allow Him to whisper sweet tender thoughts;
Allow Him to come into your heart of hearts;

Sister you need a vision;

Feelings Carefully Disguised

Scrambled emotions masquerade among ourselves
Greed pretends to be concern for others
Sadness wears a well-placed anger mask
Feelings disguised cannot be used against us, right?
We insist upon our little charades, thinking we are fooling you.
Believing our true emotions are hidden, 
Because we are not sure who to trust
And we have been betrayed by other mask-wearers
We let very

Two Lovers Xi - Carefully Chosen Words

He is looking at her a bit sanctimoniously
He is about to mansplain again

"Am I spooking you?" he asks grinning
"I'm not trying to propose, Cutie.
God no. Could you imagine?
I just think it's possible, you know?
I'm just saying I can see a path?"

Is this kid joking?
He's a mess!
Sure he is smart and can be charming
when he is

Choosing Your Friends Carefully - Proverbs 12: 25-28

Anxiety is a depressive thing
it tears to shred our very heart
but to hear just one living word
brings one gladness not just a part

Be careful when choosing your friends
for you are righteous so do right
reject counsel from the wicked
for it'll lead you astray into the night

Never be labelled as being lazy
it leaves a bad reputation by
