Prayer Poem by Francisco Arcellana
Close all open things, Lord.
Open all closed things.
All those who have long received, let them give.
All those who have long given, let them receive.
All those too long apart, let them come together.
All those too long together, sunder them.
Let the wise be fools for once, Lord,
And let the fools speak their minds.
Affirm the long-denied, Lord.
Fulfill the unfulfilled.
To A Young Poet Poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Time cannot break the bird’s wing from the bird.
Bird and wing together
Go down, one feather.
No thing that ever flew,
Not the lark, not you,
Can die as others do.
One Lonely Afternoon Poem by Russell Edson
Since the fern can’t go to the sink for a drink of
water, I graciously submit myself to the task, bringing two
glasses from the sink.
And so we sit, the fern and I, sipping water together.
Of course I’m more complex than a fern, full of deep
thoughts as I am. But I lay this aside for the easy company
of an afternoon friendship.
I don’t mind sipping water with a fern, even though,
had I my druthers, I’d be speeding through the sky for
Stockholm, sipping a bloody mary with a wedge of lime.
And so we sit one lonely afternoon sipping water
together. The fern looking out of its fronds, and I, looking
out of mine . . .
When If Meets Must Poem by James Weldon Lane
If we can fight together, we must strive together
If we can play together, we must pray together
If we can plan together, we must stand together
If we can cry together, we must try together
We must strive together, if we can fight together
We must pray together, if we can play together
We must stand together, if we can plan together
We must try together, if we can cry together
The future of man is built on a plan
Of working together whenever we can
So ‘if’ must stand so tall
And ‘must’ alone, cannot fall
For together, forever we bring
The best, the good of it al
Loneliness Poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Loneliness like a good, old friend
visits my house to pour wine in the evening.
And we sit together, waiting for the moon,
and for your face to sparkle in every shadow.
Until Now (I Love You) Poem by Maia Padua
You came into my life
When I was so young
You witnessed my growing up
Shared my innocence
I love you without pretense.
You occupied my mind
You conquered my heart
Every second, every minute
Every hour, everyday of my life
I am with you, you are with me
Together we spend night and day.
I can not leave you, I know
You color my world, you completed my life.
They may call me a fool,
But you are a part of me,
Together we will always be.
We cried together when I felt so lonely
You smile with me when I am happy
You bear with me in my sleepless nights
Dream with you in our own plight
Together we faced the joy and sorrow
Promised to build our bright tomorrow.
I cherish those moments I spent with you
Laughter and tears we shared together
Life without you is meaningless and bitter
No one can ever take you away from me
We’ll die in each others arms and our memory
I have loved you
Until now I LOVE YOU, my dear POETRY!
I Want To Walk With You Poem by Susan Williams
I want to walk with You, spend time with You
And talk about things closest to Our hearts,
My love for You and Your love for Me
I want to find My purpose in life and find Your purpose in My life.
.
I want to walk with You, on paths scenic and rugged too
I do not want a narrow myopic view of life
I want to walk the hugeness of life Together
I want to walk Together in kindness and mercy and love.
.
I want to walk with You in the heartbeat of right now
Not with the demon of regret over yesterday
Or the demon of fretfulness about tomorrow
I want for Us to walk Together in all the possibilities of Right Now.
.
I want to walk with You, to be Your handiwork created to do good things
Search My heart, strengthen My resolve, bless My endeavor
Open My eyes that I might see You
In all the circumstances and possibilities of My life.
.
I want to walk with You.
Alas, So Long! Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti
AH! dear one, we were young so long,
It seemed that youth would never go,
For skies and trees were ever in song
And water in singing flow
In the days we never again shall know.
Alas, so long!
Ah! then was it all Spring weather?
Nay, but we were young and together.
Ah! dear one, I’ve been old so long,
It seems that age is loth to part,
Though days and years have never a song,
And oh! have they still the art
That warmed the pulses of heart to heart?
Alas, so long!
Ah! then was it all Spring weather?
Nay, but we were young and together.
Ah! dear one, you’ve been dead so long,—
How long until we meet again,
Where hours may never lose their song
Nor flowers forget the rain
In glad noonlight that never shall wane?
Alas, so long!
Ah! shall it be then Spring weather,
And ah! shall we be young together?
♥ Friends ♥ Poem by Jade Just me
Friends stay together
through good and through bad
Friends stay together
through happy and sad
Friends stay together
through break-ups and tears
Friends stay together
over the years
Friends stay together
when different or alike
Friends stay together
through pain and through strife
Friends stay together
no matter the cause
Friends stay together
just because
Friends stay together
through love and through hate
Friends stay together
through destiny and fate
Friends stay together
they’re just always there
Friends stay together
because they care♥
We Go Out Together In The Staring Town Poem by Kenneth Patchen
We go out together into the staring town
And buy cheese and bread and little jugs with
flowered labels
Everywhere is a tent where we put on our whirling
show
A great deal has been said of the handless serpents
Which war has set loose in the gay milk of our
heads
But because you braid your hair and taste like
honey of heaven
We go together into town to buy wine and
yellow candles.
