images melt
into stories
one person
in many parts
all absorbed
shows with
each picture
feelings imposed
through manipulation
bring emotional
dealings and healings
they say
are quick fixes
why does it
feel so horrible
-Jennie Nawrocki
only myself
expressing how
each moment
given days misguided
ways of
intentionally hurting
all efforts
work to turn
crowded anger
with the opposite
of caring
and empathy
-Jennie Nawrocki
optimism once came freely
able to know that
there would be something
not more worse
than this moment
however presently
these have become
crept into our daily lives
shedding off these
layers of issues
leeches among us
our emotions find
something to
look forward to
-Jennie Nawrocki
unable to concentrate
for the world
continues to be active
with so much
barrage of info
being completely
everything and nothing
for it all closes in
those walls pressing
saying just
do this, be this
leave this but
what ever you do
be there
just be there
-Jennie Nawrocki
people and places
they increase
with every year
meeting new faces
and some
so familiar
it is as though
they never parted
though with each
day full of events
this travel
for business
or time off
taking in
all that surrounds
only gives
wisdom amongst
activities experienced
allowing us
to age well
though feel
as young as
those just beginning
-Jennie Nawrocki
the world
has disappeared
into images
blocked and confused
for everything
completely understood
has disseminated
into the unknown
no longer
giving a feeling
of togetherness
of inner knowledge
so closely shared
-Jennie Nawrocki
its edges slope
into deep crevasses
filled with
water thick
of sludge and waste
rank smells
travel moss walls
ornate in design
with towers interspersed
rising even taller
giving a border
to contents within
a city shining
with several
profitable exchanges
completed by
serfs and vagrants
the first greeters
with their
own neighborhood
functioning within a
larger kingdom
with rulers
present and past
all different qualities
of government
living in the
enormous main
rooms for individuals
of varying status
with others inside
or outside
the outer perimeter
are Invited for
wonder, marvel
and general ambiance
of pure enjoyment
within one room
of those
larger walls
comprised of
stone, wood
soil and sand
holding formation
all around
while furniture
dapples the
empty interior
trimmed in gold
or covered
with fabric
the simplicity
of it all
depends on
fortunes of kingdoms
and all
their contributors
from communities
having built
every spot
from the middle
to the outskirts
of their very
own castle
-Jennie Nawrocki
missing links
you think
of time passing
that lull
between frames
of meetings
when events
of the past
frequent in moments
become non existent
again beginning
something again
that never thought
you would do
for the cessation
of activity
to resume again
-Jennie Nawrocki
it is around you
events, people, thoughts,
many ways of living
that cannot be changed
they vie for freedom
justice with proof
of certainty
for their way is the way
though how the world
works is not one thought
it is the
combination of
different concepts
ways of living
bring the creativity
in order for
our species to survive
-Jennie Nawrocki
tricky business
seeing what
relates is it blood
or loyalty
those bonds
of family
what are the priorities
fame and worldwide notice
money that comes in
or the satisfaction
you pulled one over
becoming the champions
amongst others
that haven’t associated
for the jabs and retorts
given daily
are not forgotten
only remembered
how you tore apart
a relationship
based on what?
-Jennie Nawrocki
