Jacqueline
A poem by John...

Her smile is spontaneous
Her hair of volcanic fire
Her way is so contagious
She only strengthens my desire

She is ever so generous
The way she acts with her kids
Would do anything for any one of us
Thats just the great person she is

At night when we're alone
and the kids are in their beds
I feel like I am already home
When I kiss her weary head...










SHE'S THE YOUTH OF A THOUSAND SUMMERS.
by Lowell Poe

Out of the west,
of women song and sun,
and throngs of cyber air waves,
is the Eve of every Adam,
the maiden who saves herself,
the damsel who's only distress
is the endless search for words,
that will fill her heart,
and yours.

No man or woman would
find a better friend.

Her absents from my sight
would never diminish
her power and her beauty
that her poems bring.

Out from the dusty plains
to the urban cities,
she reverberates in my soul.
She guards and comforts my spirit.

Where ever I may roam
her poetry in scrolls
that lie by my nap sack
are read by my fire
like prayers to my heart.

Hearken back to the days of yore!
When her words
would have soothed
the roaming nomads.

See the present unfold,
as you whisper her heart,
in her literature.

Look towards the
uncertain future bravely.
Her words will comfort you.
You can use them,
share them.

They are for us all.
her gift to strangers,
her gift to me,
as I stand
undeserving,
but forever grateful.























"Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly.
Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably.
And never forget anything that made you smile."

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -
--Theodor Geisel; Dr Suess

Fall in love or fall in hate. Get inspired or be depressed. Ace a test or flunk a class. Make babies or make art. Speak the truth or lie and cheat. Dance on tables or sit in the corner. Life is devine chaos. Embrace it. Forgive yourself. Breathe. And enjoy the ride.
Solbeam

Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?" ~Chuang Tzu
