Best Helena Poems

The chair is her home, her universe now
It is all that her many years will allow
Helena’s elegant beauty once shone
Now her mind wanders a world of its own

Age has changed her body but not her heart
Many great stories she’d always impart
To the wide-eyed grandchild she...

She moves in glorious motion,
Her progress marked by many eyes.
A vision to delight the crowd 
gathered together for this her debut.

Coloured ribbons adorn her, as

Sweeping across the bright tableau.
Her beauty and grace seen by all.

Light sparkles from faceted jewels
decorating her slim...

Make men stretch their arms, to wake in her eyes
Finger on lip, ring not on middle, mouth lovely
With hair like lakes that glint beneath the stars

With the shades of occidental and oriental beauty
Her lips suck forth my soul; ah, see where it flies
There will I...

grandma never knew her name until she was an adult
and it was Helena (some kind of birth certificate mix up) 
she embraced her new found name
it was lovely sliding off the lips like a waterfall
later, she found her Ojibwe roots 
and I hear the drums...

Oh spite, oh hell – to the Hell in my own name too!
The hell in love, the hell in romance, the hell of all men!
He being in my name as well of course… as if I’m made of men!
Do they control me? Na… funnily enough...

Verily I say unto thee that you error in your understanding as also perceptions ?
God is not a Father of the dead yet living; for all live unto Him their spirit His breath..
Standing within Beauty's arms; heaven's throne celestial's realms; van Gogh a brush
Gazing into...

Helen used to race in non-disabled sailing events, 
In the 400 class but soon became a para-sailor, 
Of single 1-person keelboats 2.4mR, air vents,
They’re a very small 2.4 metre boats with rudder. 

In 2006 Helena won a silver medal in Beijing city, 
In the pre-olympic...

I stayed on this famous island for a little while,
fortress, prison and avant-garde Bonaparte style.
Rigged charm with antiquities slow train,
governors constitution keeping royal patriots vain.
200 years after the mysterious death of the king,
at his grave, I was wondering, ‘You poor little thing’.
Another sort of great...

Helena's Torment - The Villanelle Of Skies

Helena couldn't stop thinking about skies
They were just so strong and long
But she could never forget the rise.

That morning, Helena was shocked by the device.
She found herself feeling rather headstrong.
Helena couldn't stop thinking about the skies.

Why?

Later, Helena was spooked...

You’re torn between two identities
never knowing which way you should go
You dream of being a big city
but you're afraid to let yourself grow

There’s some folks who want to be country
other folks want a fancier life
Live their life free out on the prairie
yet spend nights with...

Helena had always wanted to be a professional hiker more than a bit.
Her parents thought it dangerous, and tried to talk her out of it.
When she was eighteen, she got herself enormous hiking boots.
And proved she could master mountains, bears, tigers and bandicoots.

Her parents were...
