LeJuane Bowens
So Many Things to Say. A collection of poems covering many things from the aspects of life.Love, lust, adultery, betrayal, war, crime, religion, and rediscovery. You may not want to say what goes on with life, but this collection may be the one thing that will make you open your eyes to what’s around and suggest that you reevaluate yourself because when there are so many things to say in this world, it’s meant for one thing and one thing only. And that is to be spoken upon.
LeJuane Bowens was born on July 30,1981 in Detroit, Michigan and moved to Lima, Ohio in 1986 where he went to school and later graduated Lima Senior High in June of 2000.Thinking that he didn’t have a chance to get in college, he joined the U.S.Army in August of the same year. Throughout the six years of being in the service, and being deployed to Iraq on two different occasions, he started to put his thoughts on paper. Once starting out as only doing poems of love and lonliness, he started to understand that there is more than life than just two emotions and begin to write about almost everything he felt covered the very aspect of life itself in his eyes.
But it was in the year of 2005 when a friend and fellow poet/writer Keith A. Anderson asked him to take his writing more seriously and try to show the world what he has to say. After deciding to take the advice,LeJuane put a few of his poems on the internet via poetry sites and the feedback that came back from the people that read each one was more than enough to let him know that this may be his calling.
Through poetry, he feels that he can pull people into his world by branching out to them by explaining what he feels are pieces of human nature and will that put together what we all call life. The only thing he wants to achieve is the same thing that everyone wants when they have something on their mind. And that is to only be heard.
My Shorty
My Shorty.
An unimaginable phenomenal woman she is.
The last fraction in my life which has completed me
And has made me a whole being.
I never have to worry about the stresses of work
Because when I see her, she makes all the troubles of the world
Seem to not even exist to me anymore.
She takes me to a place where everything is perfect
And there is not a dark cloud in the sky.
She holds me in her arms when she sees that I’ve had
A hard day or just to show me that she’s happy to see me
Come home to her everyday in one piece.
She kisses me to let me know that there is always passion
Resting behind those lips of an angel that’s only meant for
Me and me alone and that no one is deserving of her love but me.
She looks me into my eyes and I look back into hers.
At this time, our souls our insuring themselves of the future in which we
Plan to make with each other and not let anything get in the way in what
We feel is rightfully ours, and that is the love that we planted in our
Hearts and watch grow since we both instilled this seed within us.
I never need to worry about if she would leave me
Or me leaving her
Because we’ve been through too much in life together.
