Jean Dament Poems

Words, words, words dancing in my head,
It usually happens when I've just gone to bed,
They toss around til I can no longer sleep;
And my thoughts become crowded when in those words creep;
...

Looking out my window one day, I captured a breathtaking sight;

Where clouds had formed into a featherlike dove,
...

Magic happens when the heart opens to love & bliss,
There's magic in that special kiss,

Theres magic seen in another's eyes & smile,
...

A cry sounds out, only into silence;
As one wonders, is it the falling of insanity?
When no one comprehends the pain,
Alone it echoes off it'self-displaced & lost to the world,
...

Upon the golden shores of history written in the sand lies our poetry,
Some of our poems will linger there only for a short period of time;
While the most meaningful ones will leave a lasting imprint upon another's heart & mind,
Our deepest expressions, thoughts & feelings are quite fragile gifts;
...

There are times when I feel like I'm adrift out at sea;
Where I'm floating upon life's troubled waters;
And then just in time you're there to rescue me,
Leaving me to wonder why you even bother,
...

Our love was a perfect one that has now been put to sleep;
As we once did cherish one another, but it couldn't keep,
We were to marry,
But instead it became a burden we must now carry,
...

A cup of tea is my pure pleasure;
When I sit down at my leisure,
A gentle brew will ease up my tensions that have taken their toll;
While it also tends to soothe my very soul,
...

One solitary dove rests on a garden vine,
Lingering there in a sweet calmness, oh! so divine,

His pure white coat is glowing in the sun,
...

Ever had a bad day where nothing goes right;
And it seems that light has suddenly turned dark & into night,
Each thing that you try becomes such a fight for life;
Where everything feels so frightfully full of strife,
...
