The Sun shined down, warming everyone
then someone cried out, “Look he has a gun.”
But this type of gun posed not a deadly threat
its main intent was to get, the entire crowd wet.

The children joined in, their parents too
gallons of water into the air flew.
The great water event started before noon
and continued all day ‘til the emerge of the moon.

Oh what a glorious Saturday
when everyone came together to play.
The moral of this story my dearest friend
is of harmony and bliss when we let love transcend.

NaPoWriMo Day: 5 Waiting

Apr5

Wait…

waiting…

What am I waiting for?

I’m left here

just

waiting…

ready to walk out the door.

He has no respect

I feel like a joke

I could very well croak

while

waiting…

Sigh…

yawning…

I can’t take any more

of this

waiting…

What am I waiting for?

NaPoWriMo Day: 4 The Wedding Blues

Apr4

The bride-to-be gets ready
the groom is nowhere to be seen.
He’s off getting drunk
as he always has,
wondering if he is making a mistake.
The bride-to-be’s mother
helps her to get ready.
Pastel colored shadow
swept across sad and confused
distant eyes.
A baby girl all grown up with a baby girl of her own.
No longer needs her mommy
or does she?
The bride-to-be slips on her white wedding dress
it’s cheap, from Ross
no frills, no lace,
just a plain
white colored dress.
Ill-fitted and a mess.
The bride-to-be looks in the mirror
she hates what she sees.
A sad, depressed blob of a woman.
Unrecognizable to the woman’s memories.
Those eyes,
once alive and full of sparkle
now dark, dead
full of pain and disappointment.
She waits,
scanning the parking lot
for the “man of her dreams.”
Finally,
as the sun begins to set
her prince charming shows up
drunk,
nothing new to their daily life together.
He reeks of alcohol and a future filled with empty promises.
Tears flow down the bride-to-be’s cheeks
as she watches her soon to be groom get dressed.
For one moment their eyes lock
and they both know instantly
their future will be fraught with more pain
more tears
more fights.
Maybe she should run away
maybe she should have listened to her parents
maybe she is making the biggest mistake of her young life
for nothing ever ends well that starts out this damaged.

What Does April Start With? Poetry!

Apr1

It’s the first of April Many things for me to do Write a poem for national poetry month And trick that April’s fool

So where do I begin Whatever shall I write I tried my hand at triolet But I couldn’t get it right

How about a nice haiku Something short and sweet But there’s nothing I can say That will sweep you off your feet

Hey a Shakespeare sonnet An ode to times of yore But by the time I’d finish that I’d be passed out on the floor

So I’ll write this little poem here And I’ll even make it rhyme I’ll even prompt for you to comment If you have the extra time

But if you have no extra time Please make a mental note To return here every day this month And read the poems that I’ve wrote

NaPoWriMo has officially kicked off. If you haven’t noticed I am participating this year. Here’s to a whole month of poems from me to you. Cheers! Don’t forget to visit, share, and comment on these following poets pages as well:

Moonlit Magic

Jun9

Google Image

As the sun did descend
into the abyss
the moon came to view
our first passionate kiss.

Our mouths start to tango
hearts beating as one
the warmth of our breath
flaming hot as the sun.

Your arms they engulfed me
strongly and secure
I looked in your eyes
mesmerizing and pure.

Enchantments soft whisper
echoed through the sand
freeing its potion
as we walked hand in hand

Your charms diluted me
I could not refuse
our bodies gave in
to the moonlight’s pale hues.

The trees swaying gently
a magical sight
applauding we lovers
making love through the night.

Gravity

May3

So I saw a link on Facebook to a 5 minute Fiction write. Unfortunately, what I didn’t know is I was an hour late. The blog owner is Eastern Standard Time and I am Central, that is an hour difference. Anyway, I want to share the poem I wrote in under 5 minutes. Let me know what you think; how did my brain and heart do while racing against the clock….The prompt was the word Gravity.

Ok you win

on my knees again.

Too many times

we’ve committed these crimes

a crime against lust

a lack of trust.

Always ends the same

you screwing with my brain.

It’s all just a love depravity

that always ends with gravity.

You pull me further down

until I hit the ground.

There’s nothing more to say

we do this every day.

Now I’m left to chose

some you win and some you lose.

You won my heart and I the cavity

and I owe it all to gravity.

Monday’s Mental Manuscript

Apr25

When I started my poetry blog I had actually begun on another site other than blogspot. But, when I tried to get adsense on it, problems arose and I was forced to redo everything and move to blogspot. Now here I sit with adsense shut off because they make it appear like you will make money. HA I could have found that amount of money in my couch!!! Awwww the things you learn along the way. Now it’s been a year with both of my blogs; poetry and rambling and I have seen others blogs and all I can say is…..I WANT ONE. *waaaaa*

I wanted my blogs to be a huge experience not only for me but, for my readers as well. I didn’t think I would get this many readers, I was actually surprised that a year later I would still be here writing blogs instead of being a famous poet. Yea, I jest at that last comment, I am well aware of the nothing great happens over night quote. I knew I would get a following but, it would take more time than it has.

Convenience; is what I was hoping for. Background design is super important, because if it looks dull to me it will to others as well. Don’t underestimate a background that makes your work look well put together, is what I am saying. I like to take my time and make it all look beautiful. Maybe I am a little OCD about it but, regular small font on a plain background screams…..BORING!! If a writer doesn’t take the time to make their blog as unique as they are how am I suppose to be interested in what they write. I know I know, writing speaks for itself but, maybe the real reason we fell asleep during class wasn’t for the words but, the background on which they were written. Yes, I am reaching a bit. LOL

I am giving out way too many insider secrets here though. LOL Seriously, while writing or designing my blog I am thinking like a business woman AND a client. I think the best businesses do just that and although this business makes me no money to really be considered a business, I still treat it as one. I want beauty and brains in my blog; you know, like what I am. LOL My blog is a reflection of who I am, hence the pen name InJensMind. I want you the reader to have an all access pass into my thoughts; into ME.

I have been saying I will eventually combine both blogs into one for convenience. I also will at some point have my own domain for the blogs. But, at this moment I have to stick with that other huge vocabulary word; Frugality. I am not in a position to be putting money into my blog when I have bills and kids to raise, that would be asinine of me. Maybe I will check around and see about wordpress; wait, is wordpress free like blogger? It’s enough to remember to get on one blog with all the other one’s we read daily let alone remember two. I have got to solve this issue shortly, if not just for all of you but, for me and my sanity

Snow Day

Jan22

The snow twirls high
the snow twirls low
while passing by
the cold window.
It turns one way
and then the next
like child’s play
yet more complex.
It came and went
without a sound
so innocent
yet so profound.

Love The Way you Lie

Nov11

I did it again I came in stumbling
I can’t speak out so I end up mumbling.
I slammed the door so hard the pictures fell
I hate myself so much I want out of this Hell.
I can’t see in the dark so I trip over the couch
I start cursing at it before I can say ouch.
I tear up whatever is in my way
I don’t care if you go or if you stay.
By the time I get to the hallway the house is a mess
I don’t care anymore I have enough stress.
I see you lying there in the bed alone
I come at you like a cyclone.
“Get up out of this bed, go clean this house.”
as I grab you hard, tearing your blouse.
You try to get up but, I stomp off in a rage
go to the closet and grab my 12 gauge
You are crying so loud but, I don’t hear a sound
until the gun let’s off a single round.
I am shocked by the noise, I drop the gun in a hurry
I stumble to the bed but, my vision is still blurry.
You aren’t moving, “my God what have I done?”
“What the hell made me so mad to pick up that gun?”
Standing there in tears I scream,”baby I didn’t mean it.”
” I drank too much, I love you, the beer made me do it.”
I put my hand to your face to see if your breathing
I can’t see too clearly but, I don’t see you bleeding.
I reach in my pocket and pull out my phone
I call 911 and give them the address to my home.
The cops soon arrive you haven’t moved at all
I let them in and stand with my back against the wall.
They tell me,”Sir come in here, we really need to talk.”
I don’t know how I didn’t fall since I still could barely walk.
My eyes dart open and I grasp for a breath of air
I yell your name when I see you sitting there.
The cops put handcuffs on me and say I’m going to jail
“You’re lucky you didn’t kill her,you might get out on bail.”
“Baby, I love you madly, I would never want you to die.”
She looked at me in my face and said “I love the way you lie.”
Now my wife has moved to a location that I am not to know
they say I’ll be out of prison in a few years, I’m really hoping so.
So, I sit here everyday and think of her while in my cell
I thought my life was bad before now I really am in Hell.

Random Reasoning

Oct8

So In my infinite wisdom and ramblings I have decided I needed a blog to write about everything else in my life outside of the poetry,music, and books. Therefore, this blog was born. *Crowd goes wild, fist-pumping and wooting* Thank you, thank you. LOL. I would have so easily gone off-topic on my other blog, not a good look when you are trying to be a professional, or so I have heard. I don’t know, do professionals ever get off-topic? Or are they brains of steel when it comes to being focused on the topic at hand? I don’t really know any professionals to ask this question of. Most everyone I have ever known were Blue Collar (comedy, lol) workers,not so professional.

I, myself, am very random at times, I couldn’t focus on a watch to be hypnotized. I can’t even focus enough to meditate, which makes converting to Buddhism quite the task really. I don’t know if it is just my lack of focusing skill or my over abundance of the I don’t care; but it truly is a miracle to get me to stay in one place on one thing for the length of the time to finish it. I was hoping when I grew up that would change but, it hasn’t so I guess we are both stuck with it. Honestly, if I look at it from your, the reader’s perspective, I can see how it may be an issue. But, then again, I can say at least I am never boring. LOL. I am a roller coaster of randomness and I show no signs of slowing down. So make sure you strap on your helmets and safety belts and just kick back and enjoy the ups and downs of my never ordinary, never boring amusement park life.

Hate that I love you

Sep29

Your pain is my pain I hurt so very deep
all I have is words right now even though talk is cheap.
I cannot bear to hear you suffering it bothers me more and more so
I need to show you but I cannot so I am just making sure you know.
I hate it that I love you so and can’t get you off my mind
sick of worrying and losing sleep for reasons left undefined.
Why do you make me repeat myself and tell you how i feel?
Why don’t you believe me, can’t you see that I’m for real?
I sit and stress til I cry because I can’t have what I want
you know it’s you that makes me this way yet you act so nonchalant.
I don’t expect for you to tell me that your love for me is true
but, when I say I love you, can’t you say it to me too?

Keyboard Killers

Sep28

E thug this, E thug that
how G can you be typing in a chat.
Clickity clack your fingers are flying
if you say you’re somebody you must be lying.
Making E threats, shooting blanks
does your army come with little plastic tanks?
The royalty of roasting, you must smoke crack
to think you do damage from a keyboard attack.
Ain’t nobody hurting except maybe your hand
chronic carpal tunnel hope you got an insurance plan.
You can’t win a war from a keyboard
but when it comes to spamming you get the award.
The net is so great it let’s you pretend
but, your life still sucks when your library time comes to an end.

Broken Body

Sep27

Trinity of The Broken
Robert Campin
about 1435
Gold, silver and silk embroidery, pearls, glass
beads and velvet applique on linen, 112 x 64 cm
Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum

Deep, aching, stabbing,wretched, pain
barely walking, limping, body strain.
Exhausted, fragile, paleness
unhealthy, aging,signs of stress.
Numbing, tingling,constant, hurt
no turning back now, cannot avert.
Pushing forward inch by inch
each step I take makes me flinch.
Pills,creams,meds and all
nothing helps I just sit and bawl.
Too young to have my body break
don’t know how much more that I can take.
Doctors help that’s what they do
but, doctors here think I’m a fool.
Treatment costs so very much
without insurance a cure is out of touch.
So I pick myself up and do what I must
til it’s ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

So Close Yet So Far

Sep23

The stars shine so bright in the sky as I sit shivering on this chilly night
I look for an answer to my prayers throughout the heaven’s mysterious light.
My mind starts to wonder as I search among the stars
I begin to hear music, angelic guitars.
The clouds start swaying as if they were dancing to the sounds of the universe
the trees reaching out to heaven as if to shake hands and converse.
I feel like I am floating I am reaching towards the sky
I really want to go with them but, I haven’t said good-bye.
I slowly come back to consciousness, I couldn’t leave just yet
I have unfinished business I must tend to, as I awake in a cold sweat.
There’s a touch, so soft and gentle on my face
I open my eyes to see I am in a strange place.
My children standing over me with tears upon their cheeks
turns out I was in the hospital, had been there several weeks.

I had tried to take my life one night they explained in utter pain
apparently I was upset so bad I literally went insane.
Guilt it is a funny thing it can eat your heart and soul
I didn’t want to hurt them, just to end the suffering was my goal.
I am back at home now, I am getting better everyday
I just couldn’t leave my family, so I made up my mind to stay.
Sometimes, I still stare at the sky, and imagine how it’d be
to hold and kiss my long lost ones and reunite our family tree.

Love Hurts

Sep20

Sometimes I get scared when you are not around
my mind fills with thoughts to the point I almost begin to drown.
I try to push them out of my head and just feel you in my heart
I feel so empty without you I almost fall apart.
And just when I feel I’m about to lose it all
you walk back in my life and say those words so very small.
They fill my soul with so much light
I cant help but know I shouldn’t give up the fight.
I may get quite shy at times and not know what to say
but I need you to know it’s you I think of every single day.
I don’t know how you do it how you make me feel so great
all that I know is this has got to be fate.
Sometimes I get so down because I miss you so bad
then my heart fills with rage over something I thought that we had.
I picture your face in my mind, I see it so clear
then comes the hopeless feelings of jealousy and fear.
Tears begin to run down my face, one by one then a lot
til I can’t even move from all the pain that it brought.
I sit and I cry and I can’t figure it out
that’s when I realize the reason for this pain is that I love you without any doubt.
It hurts me inside because you are absentee
I keep screaming out loud, “how could you forget about me?”
When I finally pick myself up and become strong once more
something happens I just can’t ignore.
You come back to me and it’s like you were there all along
then I think to myself I must have been wrong.
I hope you don’t get upset that I am telling you this
but there’s something about us together I just can’t dismiss.
I try and be patient knowing that one day it will all be ok
I just miss you so much when you are away.
You make me so happy you make me shine bright
I feel like a princess, you are my white knight.
Maybe it scares you that I come on too strong
I hope you forgive me if I am doing this wrong.
I dream of you nightly is that such a crime
I want you with me forever not just some of the time.
I say these things to you because I can’t hold it inside
I don’t care who knows how much I love you, I have nothing to hide.
You don’t mean to hurt me I can hear it in your voice
things are this way because we have no other choice.
Just close your eyes, put your hand on your heart, what do you feel?
You are within me and I within you, you know this is real.
Open up to me, let me heal you, let me take away all of your pain
you have nothing to lose but have so very much to gain

Friends,Who Needs Them

Sep18

Hey stupid, yes you

people don’t give a damn about what they do to you

what you thought was the meaning of friends was a lie

they’d just as soon stab you in the back and wish that you’d die

there is a difference in what you thought and what is reality

not everything you see is really what it appears to be

nobody cares about a person’s feelings no more

they’ll just shut out everyone like they’re slamming a door

seems to me it’s a tad bit hypocritical

this is why I have a hard time not being cynical

people talking kindly to your face one day

then come to find out your trust they betray

maybe it’s the best to keep your feelings on a shelf

keep your heart locked up and love only yourself

it it seems very necessary in this day and age

people hurting one another their hearts and minds filled with rage

I spent many years mistrusting everyone in my life

when I finally opened up I found I had been stabbed in the back with a knife

I really wish I had just stayed true to myself nothing to lose nothing to gain

then I wouldn’t be here now enduring this pain.

❤For Jen's Sake❤

Parting is such an arduous pain I shall grieve thine essence til we meet again
