Short Consoled Poems

The rose greets the dawn
softly the breeze reassures...
Dewy tears consoled

my bird flew away wind confessed
my beard grew awhite time consoled
my breast cried aloud milked
my breath dried alone choked...

a little birdie told him
that his owner had sold him
	the warning he sloughed
	alas, he was stuffed
and nothing said consoled him...

when blood ebbs cold 
           and threshold past
             consoled at last

Try to be ashamed with the faults you did commit
Than being consoled with the praises you received.

If we must be killed, lightly killed is the way to go
Less painful, at times can be quite delightful I'm told
But only if not a serious demise
Like a sharp stick in the eye
That's ridiculous, I need to be consoled...

Like a sharp stick in the eye
That's restickulous, you'll need to be consoled...

Listen to poem:

we’re all damaged goods
to some extent
our stories are unique
yet share so much in common

there’s a hurt little child
somewhere deep down
forever craving to be consoled
forever longing for love

The sounds of you,
The taste of you,
The scent of you,
Are embedded in my soul,
The thought of you,
The remembrance of you,
Enables my heart to be consoled,
These keepsake sensations,
Light my inner torch,
It’s amazing to be so far from you,
And still we touch....

Death Has Come

So much pain
For so long
Too many days
He lay there

Death has come
Quietly
So still 
Pain no more

Shed not tears
He’s free now 
No Pain
At Peace

Sorrow for the loss
I shed tears
I grieve
Consoled by friends

We remember
Happy days
Good times
Love and joy...

Things went bad
but she retained her joy
she did not allow herself to grieve
Things intensified and people began to congregate
They were never this concerned before, she said.
Looking at the bright side.
They held her up and consoled her.
They helped her live enthusiastically.
Life was great....

Emotionally unstable,
Breakable at best,
Could snap at any moment,
Weaker than the rest,
Upset then happy in a second,
Crying far too much,
Unable to be consoled,
Always needing some sort of crutch,
I cannot be helped,
My feelings are too shattered,
I'm doomed to be this same girl,
Weak and forever tattered....

You should be consoled
          Because
These are the things' which
     Keep's you hold
             ------
To serve as a Testament
           For the young
           And the old
   And let the power
           -Of-
   Jesus take its' hold
  Fore the goodness 
         In Salvation
   Is really your's

I don’t want to share this pain
And feel good
I don’t want to tell you how terrible I feel
And get consoled
I would rather let it consume me
Part by part
Bit by bit
Breath by breath
I would rather give myself to it
Let the vultures feed on
Dead and stoic
I don’t want to share this pain 
And feel good

Broken promises flowing downstream.
And my days feeling overdue,
Hoping this phase is just a dream.
But perhaps, I may find solace in blues.
Maybe the sadness of my soul
Can be anchored to a peaceful shore.
So my feet may walk in shallow waters, and my emotions consoled.
And my head above the waves of life's sorrowful war....

Morning-sun lit in tentativeness gets delayed
Oozing white blood, rain-sprinkler licentiously sprayed
Nostalgic breeze wedded with moisture gladly stayed
Soil, seeking fresh vegetations wet set arrayed
Overwhelmed earthly creatures enchantingly swayed
Ozone layer cooled consoled feeling greatly saved
Nimble rhythm and harmony of cosmos remade

I
Delicious evening
Furtive moon, modest stars
2023 but ancient Sky

II
Cooler, Eastern Cape evenings - delicious
Blazing hot days, 40 degrees Celsius
Give way to ancient ways, in the stars
Only a few tonight (why?) And Venus perhaps?
Two of the four stars in a box, outshone the rest
 - when Moon escaped the cloudy hedge
A few belts with triune stars consoled me...

The hour arrives when moon and sky unfold

as prelude between day and eve awakes;

till hand of sunset bids goodbye, consoled

and quietude lingers before  dawn breaks

endowing soft pause,   mending workload's aches.

When life happens
I would grab a pen and starts writing
In a piece of torn paper
Or the palm of my hand
I'd feel better then
Consoled and relieved and 
Then again
Life happens
By the qadr of Allah
But this time
I'd make a quick taharah
Grab a dress and mat for salah
With niyyah solely for Al A'la
That's when I stopped writing, 'cause
All is fine with a single sajda...

When I consoled you.. 
I was deeply broken. 
I didn't let you know.. 
How I felt always unspoken!! 
When words are concealed 
from a long time.. 
It's not easy to be healed.. 
From someone who was mine! 
I never let you know
How I was also heartbroken.. 
Listening ur words  when my eyes were full of ocean
But still I didn't let you know.. 
How I felt always unspoken!

My shoulder was sore after work
So I used a patch of hot and cold
I laid down and soon fell asleep
As I felt somewhat consoled

Later I sat up half awake
Dirt was pouring down on my leg
Quick in a panic I jumped up
"Please don't bury me now," I begged!

It was only the patch that broke
But don't throw at me any bad will
Falling dirt can be real scary
Once you make it over the hill!...

And so it goes
Life moves on.....
The shadows dissipate into the cool air.....
How they struggled to steal my Breath.....
The Power of Love has replaced their presence......
With Grace this Heart Shines.....
This Journey into the Heavens....
I could Not have made Alone....
Many have held me Dear....
Consoled my Tear....
Their Gentle Care..Is Now Mine to Share...
And So It Goes............

A flattened rose mumbles
An old cracked button chuckles
Tickled by a 2nd place ribbon
In the corner a tattered doll weeps
Comically consoled by a one-eyed bear
Ballet slippers long for a pointed toe
A dried corsage sits inside a dusty tiara
A leather-bound diploma shouts success
A tear stained letter sorrow

For joy and sadness are but fleeting moments
Imbedded in the soul of ephemera

When I was a child,
I found my mother sobbing
in the bathroom—
I never asked her why—
I just knew.

And I stayed with her—
I consoled her like she 
would for me during my 
worst nightmares.

How does one console 
the tortured in waking life? 

In that moment,
I realized I was not the only
girl unhappy in my home—
I am not the only girl
to cry in this world...

When the leaf shattered,
The branch that cried of pain,
The pain of separation,
The pain of getting away,
Few moments to go,
The time had come,
Everything comes to an end someday,
Reminded the leaf,
Everyone leaves someday,
Consoled the leaf,
With the tears in eyes,
Smiled the branch,
Goodbye my love,
Uttered the branch with a painful sigh,
And, Alas! Fell down the leaf,
Creating an example of eternal love behind......
