Short Sturdily Poems

I, jam maker in factory,
must make jam all day long.
I fill up jars sturdily, I do.
My name is Jan, yes Jan Annette -
a mere jam maker to you....

Life only means life 
when sorrow is sturdily liberated 
from a fearful heart.

Yet the strongest heart valiantly beats
when life frees life
into liberated sadness,
not to fearlessly beat but
befriend sorrow.

She sleeps like a bear
in her deeply sonorous dreams.

She is not dainty,

Soft as fine cobwebs adorning the vine.
Gentle as droplets that dew the roses.   
Warm as the first taste of ruby red wine
Is love which once planted sturdily grows.

Harsh as the wind bending willow's branch.
Cold as the ice chilling mountain lake's  flow.
Hard as the drought that dehydrates romance
Is wilted love coping where bitterness blows.

Winnow the wind, divide chaff from grain.
Discover pure gold, come love me again....

Today and always, only you made me gay
Eye-to-eye we collide at the quay
On one blessed moment of spring May

Today and always, you have a way
My heartbeats you made 'em sway
Sweet lovely bard I want to play

Today and always, passion you  display
All by my side you sturdily stay
Affection rays, dime you didn't like me pay

Today and always, allow me to say
We have been touched flexible like clay
Forevermore attunes beginning that day
