Halves Poems - Poems about Halves

May we be blessed to experience both halves of the gift of love (At least the way I see it…the way that I believe) The first is how wonderful it is to give it… The second…how wonderful it is to receive. ...

Today we took a lovely walk On quiet country roads, Where the autumn trees surround The rural one of our abodes. A hundred miles later, We strode briskly, I should note, From our main home, an apartment, To the place where we could vote. Now, to cast an early ballot, We were luckily assigned To a great New York museum, So, of course, we then combined An...

You were outraged, although you smiled You felt that you could hardly care You see me as an orphan child Too often, more than you can bear Say it ain’t so, confute my words I much prefer them to be wrong But I just wanted to be heard Not isolated for so long This shallow life is getting deep Truth split in halves,...

The curse of an ugly darling and her invisible shadow struggling for the warmth light and the ease in the dark night. She is the lightening in the clouds; a distant flash followed by the sound of an unwavering silence. A heroic sufferer trudging through a plaguing odyssey. Untouchable and unreachable yet, undoubtably, a touched thought at arms...

Two halves of a different brain, entwined, One seeks logic's path, structured and refined, The other dreams in colors, wild and free, A dance of contrast, harmony we see. Rational mind, calculating each thought, Imagination soars where it's never been caught, Together they weave a tale of wonder, A symphony of contrasts, lightning and thunder. In unity they thrive, two halves complete, A masterpiece...

Two halves By Michelle Morris 05/11/2020 They were two halves of an imperfect whole, So many words hidden deep in their souls... But together their souls took flight and soared, Above the weight of human voids... © Michelle Morris, 2020...

Two parts lowered in a boundless ocean of fierce passion. Two slices run across to frame a conspicuous association. There wasn't a unique heart in this graceful world, at any rate. Willingly, he was part of a pair, and the other is his soulmate. He realistically was nearby a half-lost from his original half. Until you mildly strike each other...

In confidence, at three-card Monte when I'd choose, A complete mark, I found myself destined to lose. Pulling rabbits out of hats I was just a twit; As a rank amateur whose hand always got bit. Many times, I stacked poker decks to force an Ace But wound up, predictably, with red on my face. Underneath shiny tin cups, I shuffled...

The Gods split us in half; from two mouths and four eyes, from two noses and four legs, from two hairlines and four hands, we became one, singular - Plato tells us so. Yet we continue, we strive, to merge and meld, to link and join, to hold and partner and comfort and shroud our 'other', our missing jigsaw piece. Think of Noah and his two by...

You Me Love More than the kind for family You once felt the same Then along the separation came Tore us apart When we weren’t made to end We were made to start....

You rock me wildly To the black rhythms of juju music from the radio; Drinking horn in hand. Not too drunk to tread The course of blue, warmth And moaning shadows behind batiste curtain. Waves crashing beneath your waist beads Ripples tickling the reeds of your hair. An eye is caught watching through The chink...

*Note: in retrospective response to my poem, Three Halves* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I was a lump of clay awaiting inspiration, Filled with potential, yet without formation. Now I am shapeless, free to roam the skies, My body, it seems, is made of butterflies. And they are preparing to explode into life, In every direction, from the joy to the strife. I have had my first...

Night walks to dawn’s light And hopes stand shoulder’s height To welcome the anecdotes of the Halves With convincing looks and warm embrace Flashing your dainty disarming smiles Echoes my heart rhythms from a mile For this long missed kinship Now blossom on the hands of friendship ? It has been so profound A life time half have I found ? Strengthened is the blood...

Think of me, In times of darkness, When you cannot see, Nor make sense. I will come, Only for you, To aid the one, Who has a heart so true. We have been broken, By those we care for, By the words they've spoken, Yet that was before. Now we have each other, And love everlasting, We will not bother, With the molds they are casting. Two halves to...
