I’m very excited this morning to be bringing you guys the Poet Michael Jones, I found him articulate and extremely humorous and sweet, the ladies love him. His poetry is aromatic with feeling, emotion outspoken, but first let me introduce you to the man behind the words.

“I’m from the small town Kellyville, Oklahoma, growing up in a farming town was something that I never had any desire to do. I moved around a lot through my adolescent years with my father from state to state. So many schools that is, it was impossible to make friends. When I was going to be gone at the end of the school year or the next, I mostly kept to my self during those days. I graduated from High School in 1987 from a small town in Hammon, Oklahoma.
This is my first edition of poetry for what I hope brings meaning and understanding to the need of words and to move forward or into the moment. These are my thoughts, dreams and my every day world. I love being able to envision an unwritten future and then relay them onto paper. These poems and thoughts mean a lot to me as they come from a place very seldom visited by someone special in my life, even my self at times.
A few of these poems are very personal to the fact that I have lived them. One of them is called “My Addiction to Hell” it was a time in my life where I was so lost in this world. I needed something just to be able to open my eyes for another day. There are many things I can be thankful for, but the ones that are most meaningful to me are: My children; They have given me a life I had no right to expect and the friendship of two people that have only recently come in my life through words: Abby Wolf, Elisa Marieanna and Saira Viola you three are a deep inspiration to me and I’m thankful to my Lord and Savior for bringing the world of poetry to me.”

From the mouth of the Poet straight to you folks, one awesome way to wake up this morning, having the bio of a great Poet in your inbox. Also to know that more than anything, Poets are ever human and like to laugh just like you and a whole other vast array of multi-emotions that one feels a Writer might not have. That’s one of the things I love about poetry itself, you feel the words and the means behind them as to what the Poet was feeling at the time of said poem’s conception.
Seeing into the inside of a person’s soul is what poetry is about, and here I would like to give a few examples of what Michael was thinking as he wrote Drowning Silence Poetry for all of you out there who just love his writing and for the ones of you who are not familiar yet with his work.

DROWNING SILENCE POETRY:
My Dream Garden
© Michael Jones, 2011,
Excerpt from Drowning Silence Poetry
I sit and covet of what I have seen, a beautiful soul an angel me,
A fantasy planted, my dream rest in a nursery of a Loblolly Pine
Where beauty pours over my eyes and the fountain of life to be
Brings a taste that has been wanted and taken for pleasure.
Weeping red-bud, beautiful as it is, does not compare
That is what I’ve witnessed.
A storm shelter of horticulture brings smiles
While the waterfall of nectar flows from Silverton Falls
I’ll dream everyday, season after season, that one special day,
Her garden of roses, Lilies in full bloom, she flows with flavor
She’s enriched by the morning sun and transformed of the Fuchsia
A gatekeeper of the Passion Flower, to be the keeper of my heart
Just saying her name brings joy to my heart, our world never apart,
Like the limbs of a Laceleaf Japanese Maple, the love wraps as one
From the first kiss that was made, true within the nursery of nature
With lips as sweet as honey, a passion grew that out-shined all others
I long for the next kiss we take, taking each other’s souls to savor.
She brings the stars to shine and the moon to molten of mystique
With each passing day, there has never been a thought, without her in my time
Until the day where we can become as one, my dream never done
So take these words my little plum; hold them tight, will be as one.
Blood Unwanted
©Michael Jones, 2011
Excerpt from Drowning Silence Poetry
Second choice is what it’ll be, not the single best
The heart is sunk deep into a well that’s run dry
No warmth of water surrounding, on the cold earth it rests
Untouchable by a love, the heart slowly beats to its cry
Not wanted to be one, the pulse slows and pounds
The blood is life, but with no love, the heart dies twice
Thirsting for the blood, craving moisture from the ground
Wishes seem unanswered, unheard by the love of Christ
All the heart wants is to be loved, not set aside by fake passion
Tormented by cries that echo, the sounds hammer the walls
It tries to pump the fluid of existence, only the lashing of words
Trying to jump and roll to move again, it only turns and falls
It scratches and tears at the rock so cold, gripping to hold on
Longing for a breath of a yearning or one speck of light
The heart is tired and exhausted, it knows the time has come
It beats one time, two times, three times, it’s frozen so tight
With no love, no light and no passion, a lost soul walks
Into the darkness of its abyss, no longer probing
Only memories of a time with no stars or dreams to wish upon
The heart dies twice because its blood was unwanted
****
My first peek into the volume and poetry does just that, speaks volumes about a soul without ever having truly met that soul.
