Jax Blog #15 –"Jill"

Jax Blog #13
This next poem I wrote back in 2007. Around that time I was putting my book of poetry together at a coffee
shop near where I lived, while I was in between employment. I was spending long days compiling what I had 
and I found myself sometimes finishing scraps of partial poems from sometimes years before. "Jill" was one of those partial poems. Around that time I had met a girl who worked at the coffee house named Jill and it got my imagination moving enough to finish this poem. I mean, I'm Jack, shouldn't there be a Jill... and a hill?

As for the date 12/29/1972 at 06:00 am, PST. At the time I wrote the poem I was heavily into Astrology, and so with hard study and geometric logic and astro plotting of all the planets, and... and with a lot of help from an online Astrology site, I came to the conclusion that a person born on that day, at that time was my perfect match. A young 48 year old, now. Oh well. As luck would have it, I've never been able to meet anyone with those dates and times. 
I'm still waiting....   

Jill

Someday I'll find my Jill
Every Jack should have one
With all the standard thrills
Knows how to love and have fun

Is there a proper way?
Not some run of the mill
If classifieds would say
Right here, an awesome Jill

Who am I to complain?
Sure, some great catch I am
She might just think the same
Yep... better off with a Sam

An astrologer told me, "Son,
I've got the perfect girl.
Born, West Coast, December 29, 1972
... at 06:00 am."
I said, "Are you for real?"

I have such love to share
With passions full... and still
She's got to be somewhere?
That loving elusive Jill

Yep... I'm still waiting....
I don't think I'll be holding my breath.

Stay Safe and Well
