He was a comfort to me.
When my heart was breaking.
He, my online friend
Who lives far away
He was there for me when
I needed consoling.
Boy did I need him!
He knew just the words
I needed to hear
He seemed to know
Exactly what to say
Perhaps he had been
The consoler to many
Another friend.
He was like a sponsor
In one of those
Twelve step programs
He was like a mentor
For some endeavor.
He was and is to me
Some kind of hero.
He would not want
That name attached to him
It is kind of quaint
And naive
But he really stepped up
When I needed someone
To listen and give
Me advice on a sad situation.
In short, he made my night
Less painful.
I am way better off
Not wallowing
And being depressed.
I am actually not
Beating myself up
For that is what
I would have done
In the past
When faced with
A similar circumstance.

Wish I Could Write A Love Song Written in 2015
I wish that I could write some words,
And they end up in a song.
A glorious one of love.
One that is for the ages.
Hummed even when people are around.
Sung in the shower
And on the street corner.
End up with many renditions.
Like Amazing Grace
Or the Star Spangled Banner
Well those encompass other subjects.
So I would be more specific.
as love is my preference.
No denigration of love in my song.
Why bother?
It is not what I am about!
I want more and more love
Never less.
I can always care more.
I don't want to care less.
I want my song to be embraced
By all those that hear it.
So with my words,
I will need to find the music
I will need a partner
To finish this work.
A masterpiece of a song.
To which people will listen
And come to adore.
Not for me but for the message.
For I am a love advocate.
I want that above all!

Need A New Tune To Tune Him Out A Poem

I wish it were different.
But it is the same result.
Another failure
Another episode
Of a broken heart.
He was honest
I will give him that.
I appreciate that quality
It is better than
It's lack.
I need to give myself
A pep talk
Tell myself
It is his loss.
If only I believed it
Right now I am feeling
The loss is both of ours
More mine than his.
Some lyrics of songs
Come to mind...
One by the Talking Heads
Same as it ever was.
I definitely need a new tune
To think about
To tune him out.
Got any ideas?
I would love to hear
Your suggestions.

Sinking Feeling. A Poem

It's happening again
I am getting that
Sinking feeling.
The one that says
Why even pretend?
My efforts will be futile
My pursuit end in failure.
I am talking about
Going on a date
With someone new.
This new person
Has no idea
How I struggle
With this inner debate.
Rightly so
For he would
If he knew
Run the other way.
Thinking me
Beyond repair
And out of reach.

On Par Even Excellent A Poem

He really could do wonders
For my self esteem
You see he would go about
Doing things to raise it
With the best intentions
Understanding I am
Not the strongest person
But one who needs
To go at a slower pace.
We would be
On the same level
In some instances
I think we can be
On par
Even excellent
When it comes
To being romantic.
I would let him lead
But follow closely
Never wavering
In my earnestness
For our mutual satisfaction.
In the romance department
He would give my self esteem
A major boost
Reaffirm so to speak
That I have the goods.
I can please
And be pleasured
Thereby making both
Of our egos happier.
The other facets of my life
That he can help with
By giving me support
And encouragement
He has such a gift
He would make
An excellent life coach
If he wanted to be.
But since he is not
I will have the benefit
Of his knowledge
And wisdom
Which he has to give.

Good Advice A Poem
|
Posted:Jun 26, 2019 11:06 pm
Last Updated:Jun 27, 2019 12:09 am

I said he was like Hitch
In the movie with Kevin James
Eva Mendes and Will Smith.
He gave such good advice
In the dating realm
And relationships.
He had never
Seen the movie
So he said
He may check it out
Such a good teacher
Listening to feedback
And possibly adding
To his repertoire.
Which makes me want
To watch the movie
Again myself.
But that is artifice.
I am all about being real.
I am authentic
And genuine.
Being fake and lying
Holds little appeal.
Forget Hitch altogether
I will stick to my
Current advice giver
He was just telling me
To be a good listener.
To draw a subject out
That a date is interested in.
Use the acronym NEOTWY
Which is a good tool
For writing.
When,
Where,
Who,
What,
How
And why.
You see? It is effective
In learning about anything
That has participants
And takes place
But be more subtle
With my questions
That just blurt out
The How and Ws.
He said he learned this
By reading detective
And police novels.
So I will put this into practice
And report back to him.
I hope I can make my teacher proud
Of me, his student
And my progress.

My Current Pace A Poem

From my current place,
I have far to go.
Some would even laugh
As my pace is
Ever so slow.
If I were to race a snail.
I am not sure who would win.
I know I might be grossed
So I might run forward
Or backward.
In one case I would be
The winner as I was frightened
By the snail's slithering
And antennas.
A turtle might be cuter
To race as an opponent
They so nonchalant
As I like their peeking heads
And stubby little legs.
I might stop to admire
Their leisurely ways.
Who would be the winner?
It might be a tie
As I keep pace just to see
Them cross the finish line.
In other words
The slower species
And I can relate
I am no cheetah
I am not a gazelle
Or greyhound.
I am lucky if I don't stumble
And become immobile.
I am lucky if I stay
In a forward motion.
Yes I have far to go
And with my current pace
I might make it
In the following decade.
I am not talking 2020s
But the one after that.
That is if I am still living
And with the threat
Of global warming
And degenerative diseases
That might make
The prospect dim.

His Character Flaws A Poem

I don't want to go negative
And think of a guy who
Was less than pleasant.
But I seemingly
Can't help it.
This guy demanded understanding
Yet offered little in return
I can only now describe him
As selfish.
Yes, selfish to a fault.
It hurts to think
I can be
So easily dismissed.
But it is not like
He was the first
And probably
Won't be the last.
But still I would like
To read him the riot act!
Tell him that
He is disingenuous
And a hypocrite.
If he didn't see it
I would give him instances.
I guess to each his/her own.
They have their own business.
In his case his is ironic.
To demand tolerance
Yet offer judgment
For those he thought inferior.
Hey buddy you know
That saying "look in the mirror?"
Maybe you will see
What I can
But maybe not.
In that case
I am pointing out
Those character flaws
That are seemingly hid
From yourself.

His Creative Word Choice A Poem

He made me smile
And laugh
With his creative
Word choice.
I found them
To be so apt.
I asked if they
Were original.
He said as far
As he knows.
I dare not give away
Those precious gems
Of his vivid imagination.
In fact I almost hope
I forget them
To have them new
And fresh if he were
To use them again.
My memory is not
What it once was
So this very well
Could happen.
I look forward to more
Of his vivid depictions.
His creative word choice.
I hope there are many
Many more come.
Making for quite
The delightful conversations.

Treasured Experience

The joy they experience
Is there anything
More glorious?
A moment they will treasure
Throughout their lives
Those who witness
Get to smile
And some like me
Old softies
As well as young
Tear up.
Emotions just arrive.
We all need that kind
Of joy in our lives.
The kind we share
And makes for a memory
We can all savor.
One that sticks out
For it's incredible flavor
A life experience we are
So very glad we had.
One never knows when
Such an instance will happen
So just be open
And ready to embrace it.

A Boring Poem About A Busy Day To Be

I know it is going to be
A very busy day.
I wonder if I will
Get everything done
I have on my list
Or might some
Have to wait?
Wednesday is much
Less packed with things
So if some tasks
Get delayed
I will deal with it.
Oh dear this is
Just a little note
To myself
Others don't really
Have to know
But since you read this far
Thank you for your support.
I apologize if you find
This poem to be a bore.

Nature's Treats A Poem

I wish he were with me
Instead of miles away
I know what we
Would be doing
Kissing and touching
Savoring Nature's treats.
Then we would cuddle
And fall asleep.
Somewhat exhausted
But in the best way.
Our sensual appetites replete.
Skin meets skin
While sleep happens
What dreams we have
I bet the reality was
Just as good!
And should we have
Additional scenes
We can re enact them
When we awake.
Once again savoring
Nature's treats.

Understanding And Trust A Poem

I wish he would be
Easier to understand.
He's a puzzle that
Needs solving.
But with pieces missing
How can I complete this?
I bet he thinks
He has me figured out
I would beg to differ
There are facets of me
That remain hidden
Quite rightly
For self preservation
But for the most part
I am what you see
As I value authenticity.
He may have hinted
At parts of himself
That he might want
Me to get to know
But after time
Like he will let me in
Only after I pass
Some test.
I would then
Into his inner chambers
Gain entrance.
Funny thing
My inner chambers
Have a similar mechanism
Time spent
Getting to know
If I can trust him.
