Holly Jamestone Poems

What is LOVE?
No need to ponder the answer
When you simply know by the way
Love becomes the companion to your heart
...

Three Generations
One softly, lovingly observing the Other Two
The little one with eyelashes longer than imaginable
And eyes as large and blue as the ocean
...

She was lifeless in her satin crate that final day
Looking beautiful considering the circumstances
Always one to help lessen the blow
Gram's mission in life was to comfort or amuse us
...

Broken life stretches like cold taffy
Before shattering onto the concrete floor
Resilient, I, picking up the pieces as though
No rain falls on my head
...

Though spoonfed prayers by nuns and priests
Both she and I were “We”
My Best Friend since the Second Grade
With so much World to see
...

Roses are the thorns on my hands
During times of pain or ridicule
Violets were borrowing my older
Sister’s purple lipstick without asking
...

The toilet seat may remain up or down
It doesn't matter either way
The dishwasher may be full or empty
And the dishes may nap in the sink for awhile
...

Popcorn clouds whisper at the horizon
Before diving into the waves as daylight wanes
New lemon meringue clouds glisten in the distance
As the sun kissed waves smack the shore in glee
...

A friend is an angel
To see and to touch
To guide us, to hold us
To Love us that much
...

I sang a song for you today
I'm sure you must have heard
A Melody of Wellness
With hugs in every word
...
