From life’s garden
Creating festoon of memories.
.
.
I weave them in a tender thread
That binds us ~
.
The longing serves
As sturdy knots
In between.
.
Stunning colors
To embellish the wreath
.
.
And hide the sorrows
Now and then.
.
And shared laughter,
And tie them with ribbons
.
.
To mark each moment
That I take in.
.
Somehow,
Those conversations
Would ease the burdens
.
Of concealed pain,
‘Til we see
Each other again.
.
From colorful memories
Strewn in green:
.
One,
I will crown your head
Like wreath
.
.
Where the memories
Would always remain.
.
The other,
I’d wear like garland,
.
Around my neck,
.
.
.
.It’s pendant
Rests on my chest
.
Where love
Hides
Within.

Oh Jeques…you have outdone yourself. This is so beautiful and touching. I LOVE how the photos scroll along with your poetic words. Wonderful.
Thank you for making my day with your recent comment! You really did.

Geraldine,
It is hard to balance the many elements of life that make us whole, like between the job that would put food on our tables and our passion that nourishes our hearts and souls. In my efforts never to give up my passion, I write words in my mind all the time, poetry is the air I breath. and I always feel suffocated if I don’t put them down on paper or in this case post them here in my web nook. Writing poetry is like a respirator for me so I could survive the pressures of work, the harsh world and the loneliness inside me. ‘Tis pure magic when I’m able finish a poem in between those labored breathing, each poemm sustains me until another poem is completed which I compose inside my head non stop.
I wish you well.
~ Jeques

Carrie Sonneland,
Thanks for your visit and I’m glad you liked what you’ve read so far.
I’m having a hard time to get an access to your site for a visit. I hope you could drop me a note and link to your works.
I wish you well.

O so beautiful! I love your various ways of packaging memories and moments! And the thumbnail pics are like signposts along the way! Gorgeous!
I too share your thoughts from my keyboard. To be able to share ones innermost passions and dreams to such a wide audience, is something I would’ve never dreamed of 5 years ago. Wonderful Gemma spoke to me and with encouraging words, I put it to post.
Your words show a man gifted with true passion, a rarity in my world, so it is a pleasure and a gift to read online. A world I wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for the blog. I stay secluded in my little world of bliss, just sharing words and thoughts of kindred spirits around the world.
I am happy and content with what I have accomplished and can see that you are in that realm of magic too.
Be well and keep writing such beautiful thoughts.
