Norma Jeane Poem by Hazel Durham
Norma Jeane
Many coloured, dried leaves scatter easily in the westerly breeze,
As your fragile soul find's at last the light,
Of each day to seize,
Truth embraces the camera like a magnet capturing the audience,
Your one eternal romance,
All part of your dream that danced.
Eyes so innocent, sensual hiding your inner pain,
With empty years of feeling invisible,
In an indifferent society,
Always turning away from you,
Until you taught yourself to shine too,
With your fresh, unique look,
Then they took all of you!
You created such excitement, people relishing your mystery,
Spinning your special magic, which won you the attention of the world,
They clamoured for a piece of your sparkle,
You could outshine a galaxy of stars,
With the light of softness, humour, and sensitivity on fire,
But you always felt lost inside, fears filling your blue eyes with tears,
Tripping you up,
Norma Jeane your rise to fame was your fall,
With the memories of past rejections, low self-esteem and losing love,
As you tried to stand tall.
You faced your own brick wall,
Losing your footing far too soon.
After your shocking fall,
They called out your name 'Marilyn'
The icon you created couldn't win,
You still shimmer across the galaxy of stars,
Living in your white haven,
Without on your shoulder that dark raven,
You play now in God's garden every day,
In your own beautiful, loving way.

Captivating Monroe indeed she was! She could have protected herself by choosing to remain on her foot like many other celebrity artists. The rise and the fall in the personal lives of these people are quite a matter of coincidence of things apparently unknown to us. Hazel, what is great is you have given a genuine and lovable portrait of the lady who may not have been there in the thoughts of many including me.. A fine write.
Hazel this is a beautiful tribute to a human being who was sad and lost and only lived in the spotlight of fame. I hope she has found peace with God.Well done beautiful writing
It's a nice tribute to one who ruled the hearts in the glorious past of Hollywood.
An excellent tribute to the queen of the silver screen. It was very moving yet quite captivating. Your expressions really move me. She was a great star yet deep inside her shine did grow dim. A wonderful write!
Beautiful tribute to the queen of sorrow... too many takers in her life so sad...regards

A Powerful tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Your have presented it very well.
