Wayne Jasmin

Wayne Jasmin is a mental health nurse who has used his nursing experience and his own nights of insomnia to convey in verse some of the feelings people who experience either can relate to. Writing poetry became something of interest to the author later in life, around his mid thirties and was very much influenced by his mothers earlier written work. His poetry went hand in hand with his own interest in art and its varied styles such as technical drawing, sketching and graffiti as he found it to be another way to creatively express himself. After years of rich and varied friendships the author is able to touch on matters of interest that links to most peoples' psyche as he uses life experiences of acquaintances to shape much of his poems.

CHAPTER ONE

26626.png

A Selected Start

Alphabet Of Floral Lines

Flowers bought for posting bouquets petal cute

Letters mailed first class; speedily getting through

Originality tied to aloofness, arouses eager pursuit

Wishing wicked fantasies one day coming true

Expectations from desires acted out like statute

Romance substituted by lustful acts—impromptu

Satisfied by the pleasure of getting into a beaut.

Flowers like the alphabet

speak a message true

petals make the flower

letters the alpha crew

brought together orderly

reaching for your agree

making sense of what’s seen

a show for all to see

words say so much

flowers nothing but touch

stirring thoughts in your heart

enveloped in emotion

alphabets’ flowers brought

words compiled for your digest

printed sentences

purposely pressed

intrigue makes you look

at statements others mistook

paradoxes conveniently hidden

behind feelings once forbidden

like a wolf in sheep clothing

obscured by winters leap into spring

we’RE WOLF’s amongst the pages

reversing bold confused words

fettering floral messages

eating up literary rhymes

attempting to skip on poetic lines

words hereon are yet to be said

colourful language carefully uttered

beguiling petals bunched to send

between pages one to the last numbered

flowery as the first A, previously read

through to the final word ending in zed.

The Good Catholic Girl

Awake amongst the daffodils

breathe floral scented air

grazed your knees whilst climbing hills

skin white born tenderly fair

years go by to heal life’s bruise

no longer holding despair

confused you’ll lose, to win then choose

your life is one to share.

Awake from your slumber

breathe in specious dismay

age is all but another number

gasp at yet another birthday

see through days of confusion

sleep walking steals the day

dazed by life’s intrusion

of what religion had to say.

Awake when you were younger

alcohol fuelled dancing; what a time

meeting guys with a certain hunger

saying choose me, make you mine

flattery made you stronger

way back in eighty-nine

those days of fun no longer

at thirty-nine just about feeling fine.

Asleep subliminally confused

awake you walk in a perpetual daze

the past conveniently abused

your twenties a passing phase

youths ego left like knees once bruised

next birthday contemplate the ways

forty years unconventionally used

tough times survived, now give God the praise.

Fools
