We are yellow
We have been, and sometimes still are,
Black,
When We absorb--
Rather than reflect--
The rainbow
The knowledge
We are part of indigo
The devil
Who no longer exists
Might We have once
When humans were closer to the beginning?
Closer to creation?
We work toward purple and lavender
At all times
Toward remembering
Toward Our lovers
Beauty helps us remember
Through art
And wisdom will lead to love
When the High Priest decides to help
We are mercy from strength
Through lust
Though the message
The splendor
Can only come
Through rapture
When down is up
Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
