JABBA'S POEMS OF THE HEART



Realization

Speaking through this open door
One ponders finally what for
When words that fall on deafened ear
Towards one who does refuse to hear
For skillful talk to extricate
Herself from situations great
Causes one to wonder long
At why the siren sings the song
Attention paid too closely there
Reveals the flaw forever bare
Once seen in light and taken back
Will find you set upon the track
With saddened eye and heavy heart
And feet which slowly do depart
This complex beast which calls to us
Must leave for truer worlds; no less
And opening the door you see
Looks back and and finds no longer thee

Reality

Down through the years, just kept in check
These feelings point towards mere neglect
And now with recent slight release
You'd think my soul would find some peace
But ponder long and walk with dread
My soul is tortured more instead
For quiet creeps reality
What may or may not come to be
Like prisoners hope for freedom's kiss
Then slams the cell; and how they miss
Not just the fact, the air, the sea
Much more the hope, like you and me

Renewed

Pink hued tones cascade the sky
With stripes of blue that seem to fly
Minutes seem to shave their time
As springing forth the sun does climb
Waves of light pour forth on rock
And earth, and field and all we stock
With heart and head to it we're drawn
From night's cold grip, so comes the dawn


Inside

Frozen ground, a lake of ice
Reflected lights make me look twice
And seeing gleaming glistening glow
Projects me to that pending flow
Where held in check and patience sought
And slender limbs trimmed bare of thought
While underneath that still bark's hide
A tender heart beats slow inside

Sunlight

The Sun smiled on my face today
Brushing cold and grey away
And standing in its warmth and care
I thought of being in your stare.


Snow

Tiny shapes of H2O
Crystals form, just watch them grow
Melting when they touch your hand
Floating down across our land
In time they coat a forest white
Blazing glory in daylight
And as the air warms its skin
It fades away, trickles begin


Hurt

Feeling used and trodden on
And no less useful than a pawn
For so's the ache of heartless breast
When only one can give you rest
And anger split like blood below
Throwing fits, hurt to bestow
And then to do it all again
The hour to come one hour when


Chat

Splitting time between all folks
Winking, blinking, cracking jokes
Hopping round to see what's new
Whispering to just a few
Feelings hurt or feelings happy
Speaking keystrokes (some are sappy)
No way to see your real reaction
At times this chat feels just like traction


Tests

Chat is difficult at best
For friends sometimes it is a test
Of how much one does truly trust
When simple things turn us to dust
And little words that look askew
Tear us apart, they really do
But truly there is better ground
To start anew, trust is re-found


Reasons

Feeling warm and loved inside
God knows how much my mind has tried
To come to grips with faith and love
When talk is push and push is shove
For long we deal with childish jabs
And others on whom we keep tabs
Who prod and push and hurt and sneer
Slapping those whom we keep dear
Yet throttled though we may remain
One day to repay their disdain
With what they're really longing for
Love, respect and so much more


Snowbound

Snow and ice and cold around
No Dripping water to be found
So inside today we play
Cold Winter's breath to keep at bay


Memories

Feelings flow all over me
A child at peace stands by the sea
Trudging up a dune at light
Weary bound back just at night
So full of fun and wonder filled
The carefree days that parents build
Then one day thinking thoughts like these
The carefree days are memories


Public...Private

Deception rampant on the net
Whispers about who they'll get
Low toned private messages
Thinking none know what they says
But brighter paths are open here
If only for those with an ear
The truth and freedom will abide
Public only.....no answers hide


Hued

I treated my love to a rainbow
she smiled hues at me just so
and sitting herself on the lavender band
sang out the blues in a flow


Chat

Clicking, Checking, Typing then....
Thinking, Clicking, Cursing and....
Trying to stay away from jerks
Who hack and curse and create work
And Chat and Laugh and Play around
The net's the funnest place i've found


Ponder

Cold steam escaped my lips today, while pondering great mystery
As frozen brow and haunted eye, fret on and on hoping to see
The fingers numb and pulled close by, while entered in one thought my mind
Feet step by step through dusty path, revealed the truth that wants our kind

As to reason love's bittersweet, my soul is chilled down to the bone
And harkoning to that drumbeat, my legs pump steadily toward home
This restlessness that burns in me, as billows froth back in my face
Gives up to trust for all to see, as doorsill passed thus ends the race


Sadness


Out of hurt may rise good, but I can't see the day
And joy from sorrow is my hope, but I wish for dark covers
With each passing minute my heart ticks slower, and I long for silence
For the truth revealed is more to bear, and I ache with this burden
In lofty halls they may say true love frees, but I strain with the bonds on my heart

LOVE

It tickles your tummy and floats in your head
And makes you do cartwheels right off of your bed
It smiles at you slyly and winks with a grin
And eludes a quick grasp from the hand it was in
It presses a hand to the back of your neck
And whispering, "Follow", you become a wreck

It turns on a dime and makes you do flips
And right through your heart its melody rips
It suffers alone while away you might stay
And waits by the door all night and all day
It comes at you hard and then soft as a dove
And makes you go crazy, this thing is called Love


Waiting

And wait he did though pained it be
And too few times her face he'd see
And fewer times her lips called he
And thus he waited, long for she


Jealousy

Jealousy , what angry beast
On hearts turned round upon to feast
This crouching foe does often feed
On misunderstanding with great speed
And when love's trust thus broken be
Does slink back darkly, truth to flee


Far Away

One dreary, drizzly winter day...my love, seems far away
And considering, the nature of...this love, seems far away
I turn my thoughts to brighter things...this love, comes nearer then
And winding round my soul and mind... this love, still nearer strains
How then does one turn back this tide... this love, sweeps over me
And helpless, drawn to fantasize... this love, gathers in the net
Forsaking all for one gentle touch... this love, draws tight the noose
One dreary, drizzly winter day... my love, seems far away


~Haiku~

Fall leaves die lovely
scattering colors for us
will we die so well?

Life online brings pain
when circuits drop or wires cross
but we remain friends

Moods fit us like clothes
some tight, some comfy, some worn
but they are our own

I told my love this
that words paint pictures of love
and she's an artist
