The following is a
poem I wrote in January. I did posted this poem in couple of poetry
forums that was before I made my site into a forum format using
Invision Power Board software. The responses I got there were very
encouraging. As this poem was written about a real person I really kept
it away and tried to delete it from most of the places. I really don’t
know why? But now I think you all may like it.

 This was written about someone whom I’ve seen going in the wrong path.

 Jennifer.

With every stroke of pen panning over the white sheet,
I started the construction of your image in my verse,
You delighted the passion of a generation,
Little the world know about the passion in your heart,
They all crumbled into lust,
Some only wished to touch your hand;
Some went away with just a kiss.

Your beauty is like a never ending summer evening,
I always looked from far,
Love never passed through my heart,
None of the lusty passions either,
But observed the human who tirelessly made,
Everyone happy who never cared about the happiness,
Of a heart that enjoyed the happiness it poured.

Now walking away from the graveyard,
Where none came to your funeral but me,
And the near frozen drops of rain,
Where no priest uttered you name in full,
No tombstone, no epitaph,
The look in the face of the priest told,
The sins  your life adorned.

In my walk nothing I remembered,
No questions in my mind,
But a feeling as a voice echoed,
In the pouring rain that danced in the joy,
Of your life filled with the joy of giving,
And sang about my admiration,
About a girl and then a woman named Jennifer.

  8. LOL at the above comment. I happen to like Linkin Park…don’t ask why, I just do.

    Anyhow, thanks for the link to the above song…unfortunately I am temporarily without sound.   I will definitely give it a listen though once I get my sound going again!

  9. this is a fitting memorial!

    ryc: i’m not saying every evening is like that but it’s nice when it happens and it re-affirms the committment. marriage is one of those things that is sometimes more work than one wants to put into it, but the work pays off if both ppl are willing to do it.  🙂 that’s not always true, nor are all marriages worth the work… and some ppl are happier not married. i know all that! but while there were times i wanted to walk away, i’m glad i had a partner who refused to call it quits!

  12. RYC: Thanks 🙂 Btw, very true about the smiles 🙂 I use smiley faces as punctuation in my sentences 🙂 The rules are simple: simply place a smiley face down everytime you catch yourself smiling while you write 🙂 *grins*

    Exquisite opening lines. I am captivated. Not only by the words but my sisters name is Jennifer so the title drew me in.

    In my walk nothing I remembered,
    No questions in my mind,

    These lines also stood out. Reminds me a lot of the lines: I haven’t come to rob but reconcile. By a great poet I just can’t remember who. Dang it.

  17. “Kekeway_Arinya_Mekae” means a number of different things. Kekeway means darkness in Egyptian and I used it as a character nickname in a number of different online roleplays. Arinya is an elven name from about 4 years ago that was given to me as a nickname because of how much I liked Lord of the Rings. Lastly, Mekae is a name that I created for another alias online in a number of  forums. I decided to use all three of these names since all of the people  who would see me on xanga would know me by one of these three names. Each has a completely different story and meaning. I’ve grown really fond of them.

  19. Thank you. There were a lot of turns in that poem Ode to my Body. I haven’t yet written about my own body and the relationship I have with it. So much more came into that poem than I thought. I love the poem you’ve written here. Seems very much different from the normal flow of your poetry. It’s written beautifully. And the ending stanza is lovely.

  23. Lovely. This poem has a generous style which seems to imitate its subject.

    Thanks for your comments. My profile picture is Greer Garson. I liked the scene in ‘Mrs. Miniver’ where she reads Alic in Wonderland to her children in the bomb shelter, so I picked her pic.

  24. Thankyou very much for the prop…..^_^ I am very passionate about inner woman power…..

    I also wanted to say I read your poem and I just have to say I’m in awe…..

    and inspired.

    Thanks again~!
