Jay Brown Poems

I'm sorry my hair isn't "long" like hers,
I'm sorry my eyes aren't "pretty" like hers,
I'm sorry my lips aren't "full" like hers,
I'm sorry my smile isn't "bright" like hers,
...

When everything you do appears to fail
And family and friends cannot help you,
Believe in yourself and you will prevail.
Your hopes, your dreams, and beliefs become frail
...

The Rains.
The Rains And I.
At Times We Are Loud,
At Times We Are Quiet.
...

The weight our hearts bare, is all but light.
Our secrets need to be brought to light.

Prisoners cry in their cells.
They beg to see the day's light.
...

Do you love me the way I love you?
Now I don't mean that puppy love
Or that 'like everyone else' love
I mean that butterflies in your stomach love
...

I see that you have moved on
From what we used to have.
All of our treasured memories
Have become part of your past.
...

Sweet Love, Sweet Love, come and lie so tenderly.
Tell me that the way I love you,
is the same way you love me.
...
