Jojoba Mansell Poems

Though it seems you’re beyond reach,
know that love will find you.
Though you may fear being alone,
to someone amazing it will bind you.
...

A plain of barren rock,
beneath a leaden sky.
No breeze, no rain, just still, dead air,
a desolate place to die.
...

Oh help! Won’t someone save me?
This is real, it’s just not fun!
I’ve been attacked by my pet parrot,
now my goldfish has a gun!
...

What lies beyond our world,
beyond our knowings gaze?
A Universe of questions,
all those answers to amaze.
...

Everybody thinks they know me,
know my heart, what I desire.
Always offering “wise” advice,
they can’t see my inner fire.
...

It’s hard to tell what’s in your mind,
your eyes will never tell.
What are the thoughts within your head?
Do you gaze on heaven or stare at hell?
...

My fear isn’t losing,
nor being second best.
I can’t always be the winner,
or pass each and every test.
...

A mind of butterflies,
a chaotic beauty within.
My emotions are elusive,
I don’t know how to begin.
...

The economy in tatters.
Hospitals breeding super bugs.
Ever rising seas and shrinking ice.
...

A sense of breathlessness.
Thoughts of warm embrace.
Tingling, nervous tension.
Romance or lust?
...
