Patience

Posted: 15th December 2001 by Jab in Poetry

Have you seen a field blowing with the wind?

The peaceful breeze flowing freely through each grain.

The freedom of not worrying about anything.

The graceful swaying back and forth.

The gentle sound of the crisp wind against the field.

As if they are communicating.

So soft, so peaceful, so wonderful.

The sun just setting with beautiful colors.

Slowly descending leaving just a memory of

where it just has been.

Knowing that tomorrow it will be there,

again, without worries, without harm.

Expecting the sun to return,

to give it strength, to grow!

Hoping for the wind to return to communicate,

to enjoy the peacefulness she has to offer.

Will she return?

Will have to wait till tomorrow.

 

– Patience

Just for you (An Angel in Disguise)

Posted: 14th December 2001 by Jab in Poetry

A feeling so right can I be wrong?

Feeling this temptation, your affection I long.

A kiss of your lips, trembles I hide

Butterflies are awakened inside.

Overcome with emotional sensation

You can only be one of God’s creations.

An Angel

Taken by a beautiful smile

You make my day all worthwhile.

No time and place would I rather be

Then here with you and you with me

Your affection your grace your warm content

Is without reason my time well spent

I could not imagine a life without you

Could you imagine a life without two?

An Angel I say

Can I be wrong to think like this?

Am I wrong are you not bliss?

If heavenly sent you are, what am I?

But a man who fell in love, from a moments tie

I will not change a single thing

About your style and joy you bring

You brighten my day you brighten my life

I would be proud to ask you to be my wife.

Ones Being

Posted: 14th December 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I sit here; I think and wonder to myself

How could life be so precious, so easy yet so difficult

In these hard times we must cope

With reality of ones being

Struggles are forsaken, and not taken with ease

For flusters of anguish follow

We cannot let the best of us get to our dark side

We must be calm and enjoy what is given to us

Look around and see what you have

It is more then you think

The air you breathe

The sights you see

The people you touch

Who touch you

Without them who would you be?

Make it Last

Posted: 2nd December 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I looked across and caught a glimpse of your smile.

I knew from that point on you were the one.

You were there for me when I needed someone to talk to.

You were there to lend a hand.

You listened to what I had to say.

Never to criticize.

You are strong at heart, free at will.

You make your own decisions.

You are unique in your own way.

You make me smile,

You brighten my day.

You make me laugh,

You make me cry.

You cheer me up,

You keep me alive.

I am glad to have such a friend,

Who I can share my heart and soul.

If life should crumble at this very moment,

I would be happy to have known …

Such a beautiful person.

Patience and Time

Posted: 15th November 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I see heaven when I look in your eye

I cannot let this love pass me bye

I have seen your beauty I have seen your grace

I have heard your words I have seen my place

I feel your touch; a touch I cannot live without

I see your smile, speechless without a doubt

A warm embrace to end the night

Is worth the wait, a feeling so right

Many days may pass away, without a touch of your hand

I wonder what you are thinking help me understand

I will be there in your dreams, as you are in mine

Known right now we cannot be, my heart is yours in patience and time.

Recognize Love

Posted: 15th November 2001 by Jab in Poetry

Why is it that we don’t always recognize the moment

When love begins

Yet we always know

When it ends

 

Is it because we are scared to face the reality

The indescribable truth

Or is it we feel safe in love … and when that

Is taken away

We face fear

 

A kiss may not be the truth, as it is laid upon our lips

But it is what we wish were true

Although it cannot be

 

Throughout time and patience love can grow

Unseen at times

It is then we need to recognize love

Before it ends

I toss I turn

Posted: 10th November 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I lay here awake thinking to myself,

Thinking out loud.

I wonder why … I wonder how.

Sometimes I sit here and sometimes I don’t.

I toss and turn.

Thinking … why so hard?

This tension, burning, desire;

That cannot be fulfilled.

Why?

I can think all night,

I can stay awake.

I want to know why.

Have I seen a sign? Have I loved wrong?

Am I not the person who I though I was?

Am I wrong?

 

I toss I turn.

I am awake thinking … why do I torment myself?

Is it love?

Have I fallen in love?

Fallin in love with a love I cannot have?

Why?

Why then do I love so?

When I cannot share this beautiful feeling,

the longer this emotional extravagant feeling.

Why must I stay alone? Why must I be in the dark?

Why must I cry inside, outside?

Why are you not here with me? Why did you leave me?

I am sorry.

I am sorry I cannot be like him.

I am sorry I cannot hold you … I cannot change your mind.

I will never hurt you. I can never mislead you.

I will never leave you in the cold.

I will be there to warm you.

Why am I still here? You are with the one you love.

But you tell me you love me too.

 

I toss I turn.

I am alone again. So in the cold.

So far away … so alone.

Seeing your smile brings me back.

Seeing him sends me away in a corner,

In a ditch out in the cold.

Looking in.

Can I hold on? Can I?

When you choose to go the other way.

Away you have always known.

Then why should I be so sad, if you are so happy.

Because I know I fill your every desire – you told me.

I know your every touch – you told me.

I know where to go – you told me.

I know where to kiss you – you told me.

I know you love me – you show me.

Yet that does not change the way you feel about him.

You are still with him.

Why?

I ask myself.

You see sad at times with him, you come to me.

I want you to be happy.

Once Again

Posted: 25th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

So many times I try to tell you exactly how I feel

Without hesitation that your feelings will be the same

I would pray at times for a love so great

So reassuring and so endless

Although my life has seemed so shallow and so distant

Love has been taken from me once to the point of no return

And I have fallen in love once again

With you I have shared my thoughts my deepest secrets

I found comfort in your presence

With your smile I found warmth

Your touch game me a calmness in a sense of reassurance

Your words are so wise spoken with grace

I have not found another woman quite like you

You are different – you are your own person

There is not another woman that could bring me the

Happiness you have shown me

I forever will love and cherish our friendship

Our closeness and our moments

With you I have learned to accept lifes precious moments

For if they are over looked they may pass us by

I have found love once again

In you!

Path to Destiny

Posted: 20th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

As your life before you,

you have now come to a clearing

where your destiny splits into

two different directions…

 

You have not had to make a decision

like this before.

So how can you choose?

 

One path leads you to …

Your every desire, a for filling destiny of:

Happiness, love, attention, affection,

and of passion.

A straight smooth path with no worries.

 

The other path is one you know.

The only one you have known.

You feel secure.

How do you step away from something you have

always known.

This path may be rocky filled with confusion,

seems to be out of energy.

 

Split into confusion you must decide.

Where should you go?

What should you choose?

Only you can decide.

Reflection

Posted: 17th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I look out the window and what do I see

But the reflection of myself looking back at me

 

It never used to be like this, or any time before

I used to see my dreams, and everything I had in store

 

Recently my mind had been clouded, and I don’t know why

Could it be the recent events, between you and I

 

I know it has not been easy, not quite that smooth road

But that didn’t mean you had to leave me here out in the cold

 

You stirred my mind, my reflection too

I have to get back on track, and I know what to do

 

You told me to leave and not to have hope

Well this is the only way I know how to cope

 

I want my reflection back, out the window when I look

And give back my sanity and dreams that you took.
