Where will I be

I write my poems
With glee
Happy thought
Of what I could be

I could marry
I could stay single
Able to do anything
These thoughts occupy me
Where will I be in ten years time

Thinking I could be married settled down three kids these thoughts occupy me

The Bonfire

The night was perfect for a bonfire gathering
Many good friends to join this magical happening
Time standing still in lost coolness of autumn glowing
Tethered to the warmth of blustery winds a blowing
In the early dawn of light planning for the fire begins
Like the morning holy prayers of solemn matins

Approaching you could smell the cows faraway and distant
Mingled with the wood burning the aroma was persistent
Food was sat among tables arranged around the trees
Receiving their share were the flies and bees
Buzzing a melodic pitch of tonic accent
Apropos for this outdoor content

The building of the bonfire is a true art form
Tree limbs stacked in meticulous order one by one
Enticing flames to rise in heights and dance like spirits
Filling the night with fellowship among the hot smoky orbits
Reflecting through the stars blazing flames leaping without care
As eyes sparkled and the heat warmed our faces in the night air

Grass fed meat cooked ceremoniously over the billowing fire
A picture emerges of feasting in a forgotten medieval empire
Friends together chatting under the warm dark skies above
Laughter in the air while souls touch in neighborly love
That need no assistance from extraneous luminaire’
While the brisk winds blew through our hair

Many life’s lessons were told one by one
Mixed with different views and opinions spun
The Bonfire climbs higher holding us in rapture
While mingling with the scents, chatter and laughter
All the wood if free to gather in the forests there’s no quota
This is the life of Bonfire gatherings with friends in Minnesota
Should strangers see the billowing smoke, stopping by to inquire
They’ll be welcomed as friends and asked to join the circle
To share with us the comforting warmth of the blazing Bonfire

Love, Blessings, Peace and Unity,
Jade Anjoun

Friends, of yester years

School, sometimes is tough time,
In our country, it's so book based
It is so dreadful to go to school sometimes

But the thing that keeps us going daily is the friends we have in school.
What bliss, love, pure and unselfish.
What emotions are gathered, unspoilt and tender to live a lifetime.

Today, I'm so glad, so happy,
It was pure Bliss, to be found
By one of my classmates,
The joy of her writing to me, inquiring.

I know somewhere in my life, I must have disappeared from the orbit of existence.
So, caught up in the rat race of life and responsibilities.

But, there are relationships that will never go sour,
That's the Love we have with our mates at school.
It's all bubbly and free.
Like we have never aged a bit .

Oh, it's so much energy and love We had and have and will have for ever till we part from this Earth.
However far away they are, it's so beautiful to have that love.

God is so great and amazing
Never seizes to amaze me.
Never seizes to shower me with love .
Being single, life is sometimes rash.

But, I've been blessed with the amazing love of friends, who have treasured me, in their hearts for more than quarter century.
That love, is so amazing.

Cy's Unguis

In the mirror, sad you stare,
A finger's nail, has a little tear.
But the beautiful face I perceive,
Glows. Radiates. And I believe !

THE BEAUTY OF WOMAN

Who can resist radiant beauty
shining from within the soul of
a woman?

When in her s*xual power,
What man would not devour
a woman?

The seed makes it's journey
to implant in the womb of
a woman.

Who bears the the child
and helps it to grow tall?
A woman.

Who nurtures the child
from her breast when small?
A woman.

Who cuddles when crying
Reassures when they're trying?
A woman.

Who sets her child free
to fufil their destiny?
A woman.

What hope is there for
a man to compare to
a woman?

SHARON V.

your light will shine for all the world to see; and although your one true love"s so heavenly; I hope you"ll find a place in time for me! Sharon v; the light of everlasting life shines through your eyes; and all your friends know that it is no big surprise; that what you see is what you get with no disguise! I"ve forever searched the world for you; to find someone that is straight and true; and the work you do impresses me best; I know you clearly stand above the rest! Sharon v; I hope someday that you will meet with me; and our friendship lasts for all eternity; and then you will reunite with your true love; but for now he"s looking down with god above!

life with Trees

I meet them every day breeze or with ease swaying as if they are saying hello
with leaves that fall at my feet again never to meet
but perhaps they are saying life is fleeting
we will forever see you
as life goes on with falling years.

SHIRLEY MY LOVE

you were the girl that I wanted so much; I'm so sorry that after the ninth grade; that we lost touch! I didn't know you loved me until I turned around on the steps of j.h.s. 109 and saw you crying as you said goodbye; and when I returned home; I had many tears in my eyes; because I loved you; but I never told you! we were so very young at the time; and I heard you went with danny r. who was real slime! I'm on my way to the top of the music charts; and I hope you will hear my songs; and we can separate the rights from the wrongs! I"ll always love you Shirley!

faint breeze

Solitude the open beach calls
To walk for miles
The statues hide upon the sands
Tetherd where they stand

Thier metal bodies glint in the twilight dusk
Motionless tetherd they stand
They watch and wait
ships pass by to journeys far

They Watch the ships go by
The Merseybeat sings its tune
To ferry on the mersey
waits the ironmen

The silent glow of the fading sun
Low in the sky
Hide the waters edge
The seagulls calls from afar from the waters edge

Peace and solitude
As twilight turns to dusk
The night fades the sky turns grey night decends
The ironnen await the new day

Ode to Davina

DEATH is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy
way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone, wear no forced air of
solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed
together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
let it be spoken without effect, without the shadow of a
ghost in it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as
it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
just around the corner.....
All is well.
