Most Commented Friendship Poems (1,087)

Last night I dreamt of you
It lasted for only a few
It's ok because I was with you
I laid in your sweet strong arms
Listening to your sweet charms
Feeling safe and sound
My heart was beating fast
I had you at last
To see your face and hear your voice
Made my heart sing
Even if it was only in a dream
All your soft loving tender kisses
Sent shivers down my spine
I woke up feeling fine
You can come to me in my dreams anytime

It’s my birthday today
But my Daddy had to be away
He’s out protecting other families
To keep them safe from tragedies

I miss him but yet I understand
I know the meaning of the blue band
Our family is special in a way
Because Daddy does special work everyday

He is the protector of all children like me
So they can run and play and be free
Free from fear and terrible things
He is a special Angel without wings

If He did have wings they would be blue
Like the shield He wears for the world to view
Mommy says we should pray to God for Daddy each day
That He will protect Daddy and the people He saves

Please thank my Daddy on His special day today
That He protects everyone as they go out and play
Please say a prayer for all blue shields and families everyday
To keep them safe always and keep danger at bay

All the little ways
I appreciate you
Cannot be compiled
On a simple list
That says it enough

No time to worry
I just accept you
The way you are
And I want to share
How you’re enough

The way you know
When you walk
Into that room
Your love will
Always be enough

CHRISTMAS...enjoy the holidays!

It’s a day like any other
Kids leave waving to mother

Husband gives a kiss and hug
Yes, still such a handsome mug

Walking back to the kitchen
Knees stiff and still aching

Pour another cup of coffee
Listening to silence it’s awful

Light up another darn smoke
Like common ordinary folk

Browse the paper for sales
Need snacks for lunch pails

Grass needs mowing
Gutters full, leaves blowing

Neighbor’s dog runs in the street
Postman coming for it to greet

Laundry to do and beds to make
Stretching, yawning trying to awake

Radio playing a favorite tune
Husband home for lunch at noon

Time to dress and fuss with hair
Prayers said for a good day to share

Dinner needs some careful planning
Delicious, nutritious and appealing

Cleaning and organizing to do
Depended upon to come through

Each and every day for family
No time for unhappiness or apathy

Castle Queen moves through the day
And every once in awhile
Thoughts creep in of running away

Stopping and sighing with a smile
Of course escaping would never do
This beautiful family depends on you

With St Paddy's Day just around the corner, when the world becomes Irish,
I have decided to set a "Poem Dedication" challenge to all poets.
You can dedicate your poem to anyone or anything and there are no rules,
It can be a thank ya Tanka or a lonely lament.
This week I kindly had a poem dedicated to me by Odette67 and I am still enjoying
the afterglow. She also enjoyed my return Tanka.
I now wish this feeling on other poets ........There are people also who just read
the poems..........they too are invited to write those first tentative lines.
This is great.....the pressure is off me..........so thinking caps on now Poets.

Happy St Patrick's Day to all !!! Mick.

Meeting

by Linda Hillier
15/03/2011

sitting in the sunshine
thinking of you and me
wondering what it will be like
this first meeting of ours
full of mixed feelings
running a little scared
yet my heart beats in anticipation
I'm in a spin as I wait for you
then I see you walking towards me
you smile at me and all doubts vanish
I draw close to you reaching out
you take me in arms and hug me
the world outside disappears
as we drift away into ours
could this be our new start
can love really be possible
maybe we could try to find out
I must admit I am not sure
So where to go from here?
Take each day as it comes?
Or let it go and move on?
doubting if I am ready
not sure if I can share
nor if I even want too
alone so long I have found
I like my own space
able to do just what I want
not having to consider another's needs
do I really want to change all this
that, yes that is the big question

Fair-weather friend
foul-weather friend
forever faithful, feeling fine

‘Til temptation toppled
truth’s trajectory tumbled
toward tragic tangle

Downward, devoured distance
deliberate, decimated decline
destroying delicate duo

Just because i am a widow
does not mean i do not
want to be with a man
if i can.
Just because i have been
so picky when finding
a man to fill my life
does not mean i do not
want one to be with me.
Just because seems to
be the beginning of
the story for me.
Just because i want
so much from my life
and my man.
Just because seems to
be the words that set
my life on the path
for eternity.
Just because is not
just enough for me.
Just because i want
to be the me i am
in order to be free.

Marina is a special lady of distinction and honour
As she guided my hand to write poems from my heart
I wrote poems before to enter them in competition
Though the more I tried, I never could win.

Years later I created more poems to display In my
Book hoping one day I would reach the pinnacle of
Success but alas I was doomed to failure again, so
I put my poems to rest again I would not put pen to
Paper for a long time to come as my writing seemed
A failure as from day one.

Years went by and I left my wife, I looked for a
New partner having no luck I tried different dating
Sites looking for love, but I always failed the more
I tried, I found a poetry section on a dating site
It made me remember old times of the past, writing
For competitions and never ever winning at all
What if I posted my old poetry here, it would be sort
Of a labour of love.

I did so and I posted my first poem "Life", I thought
That was nice so I wrote more of my old poems as a
Legacy of my past, when I finished the last of my poems
I felt I had done enough, and was going to end this
Poetry forever. A day went by as I was reading my
Emails, I then discovered this wonderful person.

She was an inspiration to me and told me she loved
My poems asking me for some more, I was going to quit
Writing forever and had no plans to return, so I gave
It some thought, it was crunch time now, and I had to decide,
Whether or not to disappoint my fan, So I decided to write
One more for Christmas, so as to please my dearest fan.
To my amazement I recieved another comment, my admiring fan
Saying she liked it again, She advised me to keep writing
This poetry as it was a gift to us all.

I was in a dilemma now, I have this gift so what shall I do,
Should I quit right now or do I come shining through, with
The poetry that seems to make people feel good, Is it my right
To keep going or stay forgotten for good. I chose to keep going
As I had discovered a friend, Marina's her name, whom
I will stay faithful to the end.
