Sample poems by Jade Anouka

Floating

 

I was floating

above the image

we were creating

my body and his

we painted shapes

on the pages below

I could see

us, we

he saw me looking

came up

to meet me

we were both there

high

watching

there and here

there we were oblivious

concerned only with each other

here we stared down

longed to make

those pictures

we had thought to make

all night.

 

My Time

 

That moment,

that time in life

where time is life.

That unique time

where there’s too much time

or not enough things to fill it.

 

That time

when you have all the time in the world

and all that time’s for keeps.

That bit of time before it’s no longer yours

before your time is theirs…

 

That special time

a treasured time

a time filled with possibilities

 

A time when you don’t keep time

because at that time

it’s time

to say this time’s mine.

This is my time
