Moments: 1998
Poems by Eden Blackthorn

~

Just Jenn
The comfortable girl, always
there
when needed.
Much like your stuffed teddy bear.

~

You know your favorite fabric friend.
He is always
there
when needed.

~

He listens and understands as you
squeeze
him tightly.
Knowing all that you feel.

~

Then, in better times
he is always tossed to the
corner
until needed.

~

In the darkness, you never see his tears.
Nor do you notice, that your favorite fabric
friend
is dying.
Neglected, alone and forgotten.

~

His seam is coming unraveled.
'I will have to fix that one
day.'
You think.
And then forget as you walk away.

~

His button eye has come
loose.
Is lost.
Among the remnants of your life.

~

The day may come that you turn
to your favorite fabric friend
and find that
he
is gone.
Lost to the uncaring winds of time.

~

On that day, maybe you will wonder
what happened to your
friend
that girl
you once knew that was always
there
for you.

~

She
was
just Jenn.

In those sordid, luscious moments,
We were worshiped by the wind and rain.
Together, we slept beneath the whispering storm.

Languid shadows of a dream sang for the winter's symphony.
Light from the black void shone like music,
Through a thousand bright diamonds of eternity.

A gift of Time.

Sweet as honey and peaches as the
Blood moon Goddess watches you and I lie
In the misty rose garden of our delicate love.
