Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Naat

Yolanda Iolanda Jolenta written 6-29-2014 by Mrs Yolanda Joy Nicholsen

I'd welcome you tomorrow
more than two thousand years 
as I unceasing live again and again
after the shredded fabric's 
of thy living flesh be torn

into pieces spread sparingly over
the wild open grandeur leaving
only soft traces of me beneath wide 
oaks and nestled fir's I'd withered 
so over the cold tomb stones

of thee ancient one's tainted so throughout
the royal gate's of Yolanda von Vianden
I'd calmly be reminded of my soul's 
quiet journey beckoning her yet again
sweet saint Yolanda of Hungary dazzled

by poverty oh how I thirst for her 
My Yolanda Jolenta of Poland chafe
an yet I've endured her even more
knowing life's full immortal rapture
that I've always lived within her eternally 


Princess Iolanda Savoy dashing scrolls
above the roman empire showering scent's 
amid I Italy's impressive gardens blankets 
of flowers covering the continuous greenery
as my soul venture's on a more subtle canto

cunningly she entered me thee silent 
civil words of Yolanda King an overwhelming 
shyness abode into a thinking sphere 
doting on father hearing naive conversations 
daintily she sat with outspoken words fascist 
temperamental values over land and sea I'd cater
to the equality Yolanda the mind body and spirit of me

I decided to post this poem again I wrote this poem 6-29-2014 right before mass I sang in the choir at St Patrick's Church in Tampa Yolanda is my patron saint of course interesting enough she was the only saint over two countries Iolanda princess of savoy in memory of my Nonna she actually delivered me into the world it is an absolute honor to share the same name as Martin Luther King Jr daughter poet Yolanda King these great pioneer women inspired me during traumatic brain injury care treatment finally able to edit my work I realized the spelling really reflected my traumatic brain injury although I would never ever summit my work to any poetry soup anthology amazing journey my church family supported me with such kindness and compassions singing in the choir pope benedict whom I was blessed to meet in Germany red cross also most Reverand arch bishop Jerome Listecki who came to hear my choir sing at our lady of mount Carmel constant through the years in fighting to keep catholic education thriving in our communities sweet Yolanda my own personal pilgrimage the first shall be last the last shall be first I took the careful initiative of using three languages Yolanda American spelling Iolanda Italian spelling Jolenta is the spelling of Yolanda in Poland I wouldn't say it was the best Yolanda poem it just a part of my personal journey very distraught by identity thieves attempts to extort my American poetry this poem allowed me to truly express the authenticity of my name so I feel truly blessed to share my work I few poets has passed away special Thanks to Harry Horseman he was a great inspiration for me as well giving me the courage to keep writing
