Poetic Perspectives - Jerrel E Wolfe
Dedication
I am blessed to have received a gift to pass on throughout time. The words, wisdom, discernment, and ponderings penned to parchment, in the pages of Poetic Perspectives, are dedicated to my grandchildren Sullivan Malone, and Delaney Baker, as well as all future grandchildren.
Reaching For The Stars
This poet is quite humbled
by words spoken here
How many lives that have been touched
how many stopped to hear
The rhyme and the meter
both have come to life
In the mastery of the pieces
I write for you tonight
It’s you my faithful followers
who look into this site
Inspire me with your comments
such uplifting words you write
With you as my backbone
I venture forth from here
Publish and produce a book
it’s all not very clear
You say I have the talent
my words have recieved much praise
Labeled masterpieces by your pens
my hopes and skills you’ve raised
Now as I write this book
I need you all you see
You are my inspiration
my steadfast tall oak tree
I’ve been said to be the new blood
a storied poet of such rhyme
My name will stand with noted poets
till the end of time
I’m trusting in your wisdom
it’s what’s inspired me
To leap into the future
this realm of poetry
Poets Legacy
I picture not a pastel hue
on pages where words
create a crowded view
But seeing past what’s written here
the colored parchment
has no fear
Ready for what may befall...
the artists pen
out shines them all
With words that mesmerize and hold
One’s feelings trapped
in poetic mold
For it’s here inscribed for all to see
the love, the joy, the artistry
The lasting beauty just might be
This Poets Final Legacy
Excitement of Life
There’s birth and death and in between
and that is all we have
A time spent within this space
it’s called LIFE...for us to grab
We must endure the dangers
to reap the happiness that safety brings
This is called The Excitement of Life
love and the pleasure of things
With daily stress the excitement fades
and the resulting lifestyle pleasures
Our brains emit the chemicals
in unregulated measures
Without the pleasure
comes the anger distress and so much pain
The Excitement of Life
has left us
and we long for it’s regain
We try to find it in a job
a club or just with friends
A look outside the marriage
is where this message ends
For you see The Excitement of Life
is born down deep inside
It’s brought to the surface
with honor work and pride
Believing in the Man above
and His direction you follow
Will grant you peace and harmony
everywhere you go
Yes we all need that Excitement
to fill our hearts with cheer
Be careful where you look for it
God’s test is not often clear
Forever
There was something in the air that night
that our eyes first did meet
The feeling that came over me
consumed me from head to feet
The voice soft and pleasant
the touch so warm and sweet
The time we spent together
sparked passionate romantic heat
Seems not long ago
that candle burned deep inside of me
It’s flame forever brightened
by the fuel of harmony
Two candles burn as one
in this life of yours and mine
A love so true and tender
it stands the test of time
And with fifty years behind us
I just thought that you should know...
My candle burns as bright tonight
as it did so long ago
So darling if I’m called one night
without a chance to tell you so
Look nightly unto the heavens
and search out my candle’s glow
Geisha
The cherry blossoms and the bonsai tree
create an image throughout time
Of a Geisha’s beauty etched in the walls
and placed in a dark corner of my mind
At ninety in this rocking chair
I pull forth an angel’s face
Dressed in her kimona
entering a room with so much grace
There was point in life I knew
that life’s emotional jar was filled
For I had been through a real world war
to view children and brothers killed
From horror to perfection
in such a short amount of time
I stuffed her in the closet
just to endure this life of mine
Short circuit...call it overload
the mind couldn’t take all that
The door was shut I left her
just about 60 long years back
And today as I dig into
that corner of my mind
The horror’s all subsided
it’s just the beauty I can find
The
