I am pure as a crystal rock,
That which sun shines.
Creating rainbows to dazzle the eye.
Pure as the bells,
That church rings so well,
With the clean blue sky above.
I have not been touched,
So intimately close to love-
And waiting all the while.
Pure-
In a hopeful sense of life.
I'm a clean naive child,
Clean as a sheet of white.
That which sun shines.
Creating rainbows to dazzle the eye.
Pure as the bells,
That church rings so well,
With the clean blue sky above.
I have not been touched,
So intimately close to love-
And waiting all the while.
Pure-
In a hopeful sense of life.
I'm a clean naive child,
Clean as a sheet of white.
small
That lonely girl
she looks so frail
wild brunette
skin so pale
timid and small
like the meaning of your latin name
so rare
but might have fame
so creative
but missunderstood
like the french - canadian
in your blood

- My Name is Jessica -
My name is Jessica, and it means: “God Beholds”.
I do feel often, as if some higher power looks on…
Protecting me, cherishing me, and never it scolds!
My spirit shines brightly, as radiant as the hot sun.
Passionate is my fire, and divine is my spirit’s flame,
Yet human is my heart, and deep is my tenderness.
I am compassionate and caring, thinking not of gain,
As I try to help others, and to ease all their distress.
I have known much of sorrows, and of horrid loss,
But I have risen above it all, on wings of pale light!
In my passion’s fire, what need have I for the frost?
My eyes see beyond it, gifted with a keener sight…
And so I see the fitting nature of the name I do bear.
It is a gift, and I have received it with a willing heart!
If the body is raiment, then a name too we do wear.
And names are created, with meaning and with art.
Like the springtime blossom all filled with promise,
Such is my sense of wonder and my zeal for living.
I seek after love, happiness, and every: good bliss,
As I do try to remain humble, gracious, and giving.
If God beholds all that I do, then I think He smiles!
For although I am not perfect, I continue to strive…
Pure are my intentions, and purer still are my wiles.
I cannot be other than I am and what I am is alive!
I am a lady both of class and too of noble bearing,
And yet, I look down not upon those around me…
Whilst of myself I am both considerate and sharing.
The beauty of my name is ever visible for all to see,
For it lies in all I am, all I do, and all as I ever was!
This is more than just my nature, it is: my essence…
And I embrace it with gladness, without one pause.
In am more than the sum; I am a true quintessence!
To look for the meaning in name, deed, and soul…
Is itself, a quest for enlightenment that cannot end!
For the greater universe, is beyond all our control.
So I look to my rocks: each loved one and friend,
Which grounds me to what is important and vital…
A warm hand, a gentle embrace, a laugh or a kiss!
It is tragic that so many souls are selfish or spiteful,
Because the things I enjoy are what they will miss.
My name is Jessica, and let God behold my voice,
Singing with glory, these things that must be said…
Coupled with praises, of the most celestial choice!
We only stop singing when we are gone and dead.

I have a name.
I have a name
and it isn't really mine
or it just really shouldn't belong to me.
I have a name
it means the
the smallest protector
of god.
I'm no protector
I bring pain with words
i guard no one.
i hate it when you use
my name.
It tells me i have work to do
something to live up to.
I had a name,
it is no longer mine
i threw it away
disregard it
it's trash.
I had a name
and it wasn't me
i don't even pray
so who am i to say
that i have that name
and it's mine.
I have a name
this title,
a curse
partly because
I'm not religious
not even a little bit
not even a lot.
I have a name
and yes it belongs to me
but i guess
that i could,
with time
become half its meaning.
I have a name
and its not very right
for someone like me.
but its written legally
nothing i can do about it now.
I have a name
and it means lion of god.
i guess i like animals
and i could be brave.
I have a name
and it's spelled really weird
but here it goes.
I have a name
and it's Arielle.

Roses
Roses are red,
and white
and pink and yellow.
Roses are beautiful
to look at.
Their scent is pure
and sweet makes you
want keep it
in a little glass jar
for always.
Their colors like i said before
are many different ones
but each is quite vibrant
against dull green stems.
Roses are a flower
with thorns,
touch one and you'll bleed
they deceive with their beauty
and lure you in
then prick you twenty
times.
to hear scream with
shock and some pain.
My name is Rose and
i am just like my
namesake.
Nice to look at,
but painful when touched.

I AM KITTY
For name Kitty
K is for kittens, cats and felines
My favourite animals, strong, independent loners who survive
I is for idealistic, for that has always been my goal
Heal the planet, help the sick, be a servant to the Lord
T is for tolerance, for all peoples of all races, colours, creed
Can we agree to disagree and then sue for peace
T is for teller...for I tend to give advice, tell the truth
Even when it is not asked for, nevertheless I feel the need to help
Y is for yes...a word that is positive, on the long road of life no is not an option
Yes, I can do it and so can you, I will be your friend and stand behind you
