If I strip off this mind and show you my thoughts, would you like what you will see?

If I open my heart to your view, would you like the pictures that you will see inside?

If I bare my soul naked to your eyes, would you ever learn to love me?

"L 'homme qui J' aime" oil on canvas, 24x30 by Jeques B. Jamora, 2009

 ’Tis when I fully understood the colors and the shapes and molds, and the forms, and the feel, and everything about my soul that I trully begun to learn to dress up. ‘Tis when I learned to listen to my heart’s songs that I was able to write his poetry. ‘Tis when I completely viewed my soul with all my senses that I was able to limn the images of the empire I inhabit in my mind reflected in the canvas like vignettes from the corners of my imagination.

             

(L) “le coeur attend” oil on canvas 20×20 by Jeques B. Jamora, 2009

Notice me.

For once,

Just be with me.

See my heart and soul

And let time

Stand still ~ 

"our mirths" oil on canvas 36x36 by Jeques B. Jamora, 2009

. . . Just for a brief moment,

Please look into my eyes,

Let time stand still ~

And be

With me.

(an excerpt from the poem “Notice Me” from the poetry collection by Jeques, 2008)
