Family Ties Poems - Poems about Family Ties

Family Ties

Family is not a place to argue
Family is where love is shared together
Family is not a fight for right or wrong
Nor it is a battlefield to be defeated
Family is not where you win or lose
It's a place for us to come back after being tired
A place of refuge being pressured on society out there

Family Ties

In the eyes of my cousins,
Lifted, like the birds – on wings
Exciting rhythms, limbs
Rounded with muscles, stronger
Than words, abandoned
To the shadows,
Silhouettes of grace, singing
Dancing in brown, blue, green
Versions of my heart,
Laughing, giggling, crinkled
With tears, years falling through 
Trees, oaks and pines,
Tender leaves on spring praising
In gentle turns, breathing
Hearts open, sincere as the dreams
Dreamed by November

BIG SISTER

You were big sis 
Who was full of fire
With large sparks 
Of life, you loved and 
Lived life to the fullest
You could have been
A comedian with your
Constant jokes and laughter
But you were taken away
From me, like a thief
In the night, never to return

Family Ties

Still as the softest morning dew,
Listless and lonely,
Breathing in notes, harmonizing
With the leaves as they dance,
Haphazardly, in rhythms – rhymes
Of light and serenity, faithful to the colors
Bleeding across hesitant callings…

August remembers when the songs grew weary,
Fading from the summer in blues,
Softest indigo and cerulean drowned by hues,
Of melancholy, soundless as the moments
Before yesterday spun out

Family Ties

from behind
a sword is thrust through my chest
my pain is indescribable
it is so great
I feel I have to share it to feel relief

I don't really look back to see 
whom the sword is from
I just know whoever pokes this wound
Will surely feel the full wrath
of my pain

Finally something does
I smile cynically
What a fool
I grab the

Family Ties

Looking into her eyes I find myself thinking of her sister, imagining the pain they will both suffer when they grow older. 
To think these girls will not find each other in life is ignorance, and to think they won’t resent those who made it impossible for them to be in each other’s lives is

THICKER THAN WATER

I pushed at the open door
no sound
just darkness inside. 
Dust filtered my
nostrils, 
    a mustiness of lost years
inhabited my senses. 
A loose floorboard
creaked in the stairwell, 
the aroma 
of her Chanel provoked memories 
of my
living hell. 
A tear of self-pity congealed
in the dirt at my feet

I switched on the light

Family Ties Should Bind

Family ties should bind the wound
When parents get their well-earned rest
Ne’er leave a single child ungroomed
While other siblings’ take the best.

They were the most godly parents
Family ties should bind the wound
Neither mom nor pop were errants
Leaving their children to be doomed.

Death lately together entombed
Leaving the six children to share
Family ties should bind the wound
Four are

Family Ties

around the clock 
busy loading up the dock 
the usual 9-5
except in your life
it's more like all day and night

fast forward to jersey city
commuting through subways
working till sundays
small apartment building
four kids and a love that's unyielding

london in the daytime is so beautiful 
bright lights and smiles so plentiful
but when the moon sets
and it is time

Family Ties

Family ties should always end in a bow,
Never in a knot.

They should be footloose from time to time, 
But a little butter on the feet,
Helps when it is time to find the way home.

Family ties need a traditional base,
For when the ride gets rough.

We should not forget,
That mixing with a little water helps,
When ties need

Family Ties

Family ties welcoming with warm bliss
midst kiss and hugs of every brod and sis
contagious laughter of exuberance...
exude our ancestral house we can’t miss.

Thus, in passing by an ancient abode
its garden full of ferns, and weeds-bestowed
decrepit roof whispers “I need repair”
we just sighed at the load along the road.

Evoking forlorn beyond grandeur-state
ramshackled porch hides against rusty

What is the meaning of 'family ties'
Is the meaning lost in lies

We strive to hold it all together
Although we're not birds of a feather

With different lives and much to do
we need our families, me and you

We laughed and cried, had fun together
we thought it all would last forever

As the family grows by leaps and bounds
less

Family Ties

Some wear conservative,
while some wear liberal,
some for Trump,
while some for Clinton,
some are Catholic or Protestant
while some are Jewish,
some are carefree,
while others are prudent,
some just getting hitched,
while some growing leery,
some newly born,
still others are old and weary,
some have good paying jobs,
while others are living paycheck
to paycheck and struggling,
some have excellent health,
while others are dealing with 
different

Family Ties

There is a scarlet cord which hath been 
woven with the strength of love
Entwined between thine heart and mine
A three fold cord that can not be broken  
though time and distance doth separate. 
Tis a precious bond between you and I 
 that only the Father could create
An irrevocable bond that shall ever bind
