Yellow Jade

Yellow adornment

A pair of  jade bangles worn

Elegant it is.


Trinkets for the arm
 A sound of glasses clings
Smooth, shiny, and cold.

Full Moon at Christmas

📷 image by EmilyM.

Breaking dawn at Christmas, 

watching through the sky,

Beautiful moon setting in full

 is good to look at...

As if nature calling me to take a shot.

Though throbbing pain inside my head keep on pushing,

There's a charm in the dark sky I cannot stop looking at.

Deep in this dark hour with the trees trying to hide it,

The wind suddenly blows as if to stop me from taking it.

The shadow  of the dark is creepy as it seems

The fright I feel about what I might see

Still, I cannot elude the enchantment it brings

To pursue saving the memory of what 

might not be...

 for long...

Chrysanthemums

📷 image by EmilyM.

Chrysanthemums flow'r

Brighter yellow as it was

As days have passed by

***

A gift for someone

Special or regular days

Brightens someone's day.

***

Give someone you know

Wish them happiness and love,

Peace and good health.

You are sensitive,

A beauty so delicate,

Maiden well-cared of.

***

Your blooms are unique,

Unusual, yet so simple,

Lovely to look at...

***

Offering the White,

Lilac seems an endless love

Forgot what we were.

***

Have you seen this one?

Do you remember this flow'r?

You said I'm the one.

***

Decipher the words,

Scribbling because of sadness

Orchids we were once.

The Woman In The Mirror

©2007 Jan Brooks

The woman in the mirror

I always see a smiling face
No matter what life dishes out
She still has poise and grace.

So many troubles

Life has been all wrong

The woman in the mirror

Still sings a happy song.

The woman in the mirror

No one sees her grief

She learned to hide it well

Though she knows no relief.

Sometimes sadness overrules

And she wants to let go

And the journeys of life

Are often too much to know.

She finds the strength somehow

To carry the heavy load

Two steps further forward

Along the endless rocky road.

The woman in the mirror

Her beliefs have made her strong

Knowing there is happiness

That will someday, to her belong...

*A shared photo and a message that captured my senses. Reading this poem.. it  pulls on the inner emotions of the poet  for a woman. I have this feeling that the poet's subject is the woman herself. I may be wrong ..or he/she had been a witness to another woman's experience..somehow, the poem also reflects me...
