JoAnne Shadday Poems

'I am daughter of Isis, all that is, and all that shall be, I am daughter, princess, mother, I am all three, exalted, out spoken, short tempered, and wise, I am higher than all, though 'smaller' in size, I am your master and mistress, keeper of light, I am heavenly mother to worlds, I delight, I am truth and justice, 'righter' of wrongs,

I Will not hear of it, or have it that I do not care! , where my men go, I go, simple and fair.., My dearset one, you and I have a heart which beats as one..., my heart and soul shall remain with you, please see this my way, whilst I am away...,
...

If I ask you to stay, will you linger beside me? If I promise you tomorrow, will you give me today? If I am faithful to you, will I remain true to myself? If I accomplish much, have I gained less? If I do not ask, does this mean that you know? If I search and I find, have I lost what I seek?
...

Though you were purple and blue my first 'sight' of you, I will ALWAYS love and admire my 'miracle' you! Though you have drifted away, and your thoughts gone 'astray', In my heart you are, and shall always stay, for my love keeps you that way!
...

If I stumble and I fall, will you catch me through it all? If I linger in the past, will you grant me one request? Be true to yourself. Speak with no uncertaintys. For you are and will always be young, or old a sight for these eyes to behold!

Trust not your heart in the darkness of night, Only 'fools' believe what is wrong, is now right, Take a tip from one who is in the know, move on let your bygones be gone! But, I still have to wonder just what makes you tick, For you and the darkness have become 'quite' thick! Darkness stays with you, because you 'choose' it to, it will remain beside you, to 'misguide' you each day! Oh, I see the fear in your eyes and the darkness of your heart, For, this 'evil' will surely tear you apart!
...

My thoughts hold the seeds of truth, memories from a past I long sought to forget...though they hold my 'true' meaning in form..Be long forgotten I say, never more to return this day! Try, and try as I may, TRUE thoughts never, ever 'move' away! For memories TRUE will always stay!
...

Oh, won't thou stay, my dearest Antony? Why must you depart so soon? Are you so eager to be divided by land and sea? Why must you always put man and mission before your love for me? Is my love so binding, you feel you must flee? Do I have that tight a 'grip' on thee? If It is 'freedom' you seek, so shall it be! Go, put the sea, before me! ...

Blissful, is the butterfly shaking dew from her lovely new wings, Relaxing, is the 'buzzing' of a very busy, and preoccupied bee. My thoughts escape words, but remain true in meaning. As the gentle summer winds breeze through and by me.. It is so easy to surrender to summer's easy, endless days!
...

For every rose holds the promise of 'eternal' love, For every lie holds a glimmer of 'truth', For a harrowing past, is a 'promising' future, For every 'cowardly' act, is a good deed in need, For every gray cloud has the sun's 'golden' kiss hidden behind! For every
