Short Alleviates Poems

Drinking 
instead 
of 
falling. 
My slumber can wait.
My depression alleviates....

A humming-bird hums 
A harmonious hymn-
Of circadian rhythm
And alleviates tension !...

With COVID-19 spread around
Both above and under the ground
You can bet a beer
Alleviates fear
But cops count how many you've downed...

whenever there's a great emergency,
Doctors Without Borders

with profound humaneness and urgency....

Time takes away hurt
But moves slow when you’re in pain…
Alarm is beeping

Spontaneous attraction, magnetic in power-

With a gentle persuasion that daily makes one smile;

Easygoing spirit that alleviates pain

Convincing all who encounter it of their self-worth and what there is in life to gain....

an inclination
to 
    reclusivity,
leave 
   everything
to chance,
    for a 
     quiet life:
the solitude
    alleviates
    the need
to talk:
complex
in mannerisms
passive 
sensitive
conceptual 
       articulate
living
at the margins...

Baptism grasps, water channels multiply surface
Scissored scenes lay platters simutaneously
Owl eyed creek spurs my metamorphosis 
Billowing claim is domain of striving trees
 

Frigid inhalation arrests latent vulnerability
Surrendour,  dove's fallen feather alleviates
Split awareness open as oyster delivers me
Vantage announced by intricacies of lace...

Being grateful is a hallowed key that is vital to open up our lives.
Once inside, it leads to love and peace, it beckons appreciations reside.
Gratitude blesses life’s clearest views and expresses a newer heart and mind.
It alleviates egos selfishness and allows goodness to fill our space and time.
Fully embraced, it will fill the universe and teach every soul’s sublime....

Almighty always grants boundless bliss 
Gracious gift alleviates tormenting time 
Euphoric essence charms hurt heart 
Mirage melts within desolate desert 
Sane sight grasps divine domain 
Listless life sails overjoyed ocean
God guides the soul to destination.

crimson blades lay lifeless
  trembling-
            
              drowning-

savored by the gold leaflets
that long for daybreak.

fire-orange blades rage-
    detonating-

              rupturing-

savored by the chartreuse leaflets
that thirst for rain.

Hues of combustion remain still-
twilight ascends and alleviates
with empathy...

Empathy soothes the anguished heart

Alleviates the obscured pain

Rejuvenates your counterpart

Empathy soothes the anguished heart

A blessing hand to make restart

A laudable trait of humane

Empathy soothes the anguished heart

Alleviates the obscured pain

living

the wind's kiss
wayward,
lingered:
in the sudden
solitude
confidence
was restored,
the conflict 
forgotten,
the unknown
opaque.
I turn
my face unto
the 'morrow..
with hope...

Vying for the love in a mother's kiss;
            siblings compete to win a mother's kiss.

Nothing alleviates boo-boos better;
            for trust is found within a mother's kiss.

A treasure greater than any other;
            whereas love lies therein, a mother's kiss.

A loving gift given to all ages;
           oft greeted with a grin, a mother's kiss.
       
It is such an incredible feeling;
           it is like no other, a mother's kiss.

Just don't ask me to care that cupboards long bare
Shipped out with the fair
Bestride the snake oil salesmen fortune tellers
and tears of the clown
But if it weren't for the circus where would people spend their wage money
On that which alleviates the pain refrains us from saying
Those 3 prophetic words 
I am sorry
I love you and I will forever care a long as I can draw air
For if the grass is truly greener on the other side
Would you still be here talking to me now...

Her expectations of me she still holds with such conviction, to her portraying me 
in the light is her addiction.  She alleviates my selfish doubt, of a world I thought I 
could live without.  Before she departs
she throws some advice my way.  F%@k the life you wish you once had, and f%
@k the drug induced idiot you call dad.  Remember even a savior needs to be 
saved, as even an educated addict's life can turn tragic.  So she shows me how 
to cope with the absence of hope....
