Holly Jamestone Poems

When you've given till scraped knuckles
Signal the pail is still empty
Despite numerous patch attempts of
Honoring tradition just
...

Even though two people once
Were very much in love
Even though each moment spent
Could never rise above
...

The light has come to rescue me
And confidence, my friend
Will conquer fear and lift me up
And guide me till the end
...

You broke my heart but that's okay
I'll love you till the end
I'll follow you adoringly
Oh, please just be my friend!
...

Thank you for the gifts this year
Both giving and receiving
Of knowing love, of finding peace
And constantly believing
...

I don't know why a child would turn
Upon another child
Destroy a school, a teacher's life
Emotions running wild
...

If you stand alone in solitude
And view your life by year
The sweet refrains and smiles of youth
Will soothe your inner fear
...

We didn't get to say goodbye
Or even say hello
But for having you just briefly
We're more grateful than you'll know
...

Broken man with eyes so vacant
Heart so tarnished, scars so deep
Waning patience, tattered memories
Rancid thoughts too spoiled to keep
...

Traveling through time
Friendships an open lens
A daydreaming shutterbug
Unfolding its petals
...
