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...

The Sunflower in Me

As the bright sun shines

What a smile sunflower brings

Brightens someone's day!

Radiates joy, beauty

A positive energy

Good vibes from within!

Unwavering faith

And unconditional love

for someone adored...

Absorbs emotions

Sensitiveness for its kind

Let the pollen spread!

If you meet someone

With wits and intelligence

Catch and don't let go!

If you haven't found

Hunt one for she brings beauty

Across the ages!

Aurora

Your light glows into the night sky

Amazing splendor through the night

Joy, excitement in one's eyes.

How magical! How wonderful!

Enchanting, captivating lights!

Created by One so Powerful!

One of the most marvelous creations,

Not all people are blessed to witness...

Aurora why aren't you here?

How can we see the splendor,

your natural beauty presents.

Follow the dream, follow the sky,

Follow the land where Aurora is...

My Star

I gaze through the lens, 

I thought you were a star.

Your love touches my eyes reaching me, 

touches life, outlining your presence in me.

Your warmth never burns, 

your hug glows inside me.

Your brightness, is subtle, impressive,

 a love that knows no distance.

You speak through my heart 

without even opening your lips.

We consummated our longing 

every time the world darkens.

You are humble enough 

to reach me beyond the expanse, 

telling me there is something

 rather than nothing.

I then realized that you saw me before 

or is it I that saw you?

Every night, our future meets from a distant past.

I wonder if you are still there.
