Poems by Janet A. Best
CITIES
New York, San Francisco, Paris, Madrid, etc.
Cities - they all have pulses
Their own characters and feelings.
We've been there and felt them
We've come alive there The lights, the buildings, the colors
The faces of people
The pulse is beating
Life is happening there
We need it and it engulf us
For all the cities we've been to
And loved
We send you this.
So you'll always remember Like the candle we lit so long ago
In Granada for all of us.
I like to think it's still burning.
WHAT IS LOVE
Love makes your face light up
Love is warm and tender
Love thinks you are beautiful when you know you're not
Love stands by and watches over you.
It's like a cold drink of water when you are lost in the desert
It makes life a little less empty
Love gives you room to breath
It holds you tight when you are lonely
It lets you go when it's time to go.
Love is read and purple
Love has color
It is not drab.
Ther is mother love, father love, husband love, child love,
sister love, brother love, friend love
But it's all love, just the same.
It has arms to hold you, legs to carry you when your are
tired, breath to warm you and a heart to center you.
Love sometimes waits for your or
Nudges you gently forward
It never crushes you when you are down
But rather lifts your spirit.
Love is funny
Sometimes sad
At times destructive
Sometimes it's a bandage on your wounds
Sometimes it's the glue to hold you together.
Sometimes it's bumpy while other times, it's smooth
Sometimes it's ...
