He's a certified loner
Very Independent
Always doing everything
Without anyone support
Without confiding in any
Due to betrayals in the past
Always focusing on personal interests.
A self consultant
Always talking to self
Many label him crazy while bullying
From their own awareness
They're not aware of his pains and shames
He's always consulting himself
No longer trust people with his weaknesses.
Always staying in his lane
Without any complain
Already use to the pains
Confidentially walking around
With scars from trauma and betrayals
He rides in solitude, a deep thinker very empathetic.
King Minos of Crete asked Daedalus,
the inventor, to create a labyrinth
beneath his palace. He housed Minotaur,
a fearsome monster in the labyrinth.
Minotaur had the head of a bull and body of a man.
Princess Ariadne aided
the Minotaur, in an escape;
she had an empathetic heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Events emerge inside a cocoon of solitude,
A tale yet to be told, as calm prevails in mollitude.
A serene sanctuary amidst the course of time,
A mild melody of peace subtly whispers sublime.
I connect with my innermost desire,
In search to connect and inspire.
A longing deep within my soul,
To stimulate and compel me whole.
With an artless palm, a gesture of care,
A beating heart, ready to share.
Attentive ear, eager to hear,
Extending kindness is ever-near.
I feel the ache, a void so vast,
Of emptiness, a pain that may last.
Within my soul, in a hollow space,
Where sorrow lingers, without a trace.
A haunting melody, an echo of loneliness,
Whispering gently, a melancholic caress.
In the depths of solitude, its voice resounds,
A poignant reminder where silence abounds.
A melodic tale of yearning and sweetness,
Weight-borne, heavy, and sharp neatness.
In the area of empathy, I offer my embrace,
I enliven my core with warmth and grace.
I fell into her empathetic eyes
wanting to tell her my life story
a story I rarely tell
she is a willing listener
an anomaly
a rare gem
Duchess has Den, Lind's Empathetic Yen
Laughing with Casey gave "rise" to a fall,
Giving "urgery" to surgery,
We pray the setback is soon annul!
Sometimes when mishaps occur,
Causes appreciation in full,
When things stop working,
Face the horns of the bull,
Carpe Diem! Step back & reflect,
Refute descent, resaddle!
Read, think, thank, pray, sing,
May the Big One bless you ->"Troubles Skedaddle!"
The Empathic
Homeless, faceless...
they walk our streets,
yours, mine, ours.
Their families have forgotten them,
they don't want to go home,
or they can't.
Where do the "people" go,
where there is nowhere else to be?
The heat rises here in the desert.
It melts the sidewalks in the afternoon,
they only re-solidify after dark.
Those trapped on the surfaces
in between
are often cooked,
and burnt.
Water is the gift of life.
It comes in bottles passed out by the caring,
daring to make a difference,
at least for a day.
Later when the world turns cold,
they will be gone.
They will not be back.
For now,
there are 200 beds,
opened up downtown.
Yet there are a thousand people
in the line.
Pray.
Ebony Cat went from person to person demanding love
He hit them, smacked them, scratched them, spit from above.
The more he tried for attention, the more annoyed they got.
He stayed in a kennel so long, he thought he would rot.
An empathetic faerie who had a love for cats saw this.
When she came to help him, he met her with a mean hiss.
You have a lot of love to give, she said. Let me show how.
By the time she was done, he was adopted with a happy meow.
Not all men are bad.
Not all think with their narcissistic egos.
Some men have hearts some women know nothing about.
Some men just want to be heard.
But when they are told to just suck it up & be a man.
It hinders them.
It hides them.
Are you actually empathetic enough to listen to them?
Or have you too been blinded by your own willingness to feel?
Delicate faerie perched on edge of sweet spotted mushroom.
She knew not to sit with her full body weight.
Mushroom’s conscious felt a second of doom.
Not understanding that she was empathetic and great.
Delicate faerie sent her vibes into the plant.
He picked up on stress and sensed she was tired.
Her deepest most fervent wishes he truly wanted to grant.
So, he had his faerie godmother mushroom give her what she desired.
Empathetic Elf house is a place to house young elves who are hurting.
She pairs them up with aged elves who have also been sad,
but have figured out what to do to get over it.
E-Elf House gives them a place to pair up, get to know each other.
She helps them by providing warmth, safety, and humane ideas.
Her ideas include helping others and listening to others.
She discovered long ago that the key to getting rid of your sorrow
is to empathize, nurture, uplift and provide companionship to others.
She has been doing this for over a thousand years, and it works.
Ethereal enigma echoed empathic eel ‘s emotional elevation
Elongated elusive elephant-like Edison expected ectoplasm
Extrasensory efforts of exacting Ellis effortlessly eludes evildoers
Exasperating empathetic eel and elusive ethereal enigma
Deliberately delicate spider faerie of an empathetic mind
Sassily dreaming delectable ideas that could help mankind
Spinning them into sassy slices of serendipity, heaven hurled.
Easily encouraging and inspiring others in their dream world
As she spins their wishes and hopes into her fancy web
Nature’s forces resolve to leave her alone as seasons ebb.
She does us such a service, the sky confided to the wind.
Oh yes, the stars agreed; spider faerie is our forever friend.
A gorgeous woman
her heart was exceedingly pure
She was selfless and godly
But her birthmark scared off potential suiters
Those who did not understand full beauty
A loving woman
She was patient and kind
Her compassion struck a chord in many hearts
They saw her for who she was
Beyond the birthmark
An empathetic woman she became a bride
And a marvelous mother to six lucky children
Who thought women without a birthmark were missing something
The empathy and compassion of their loving mother

Among the dandelions empathetic fairy listened to misunderstood squirrel.
She made no suggestions, sat quietly, in silence, nodding sometimes.
Showing him how valuable a good listener can be.
Especially one who does not interrupt to ask questions.
He concluded for himself the answer as he watched her watch him.
It was the best council he had ever received.
And in silence.
Empathetic fairy had helped him fix his problem
Without contributing one word.
