I have her smile in my blood, she said
with time dripping from her eyes;
those words, I've never heard her say
or thought to recognize;
memories of love I couldn't see
and beauty without a face,
Jane lost her crown, and without a sound
let silence take her place.
So Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down, his nose in the ground
and Jill came running after,
but there's an absence of truth,
an absence of love, and
for love, I cried out loud
for a glimpse of light from the morning sun,
pierced through thunder clouds.

Love it!
I didn't really understand this poem either. But hey, that's the magic of a poet: one doesn't always find the meanings of a poet's poem.
Let me tell you what I understood when reading:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I could get. That's actually what I love about poetry: there is not always one true meaning. *Claps* Well done for that!
Keep 'em coming!
Hey! I thought this was really well written, but I didn't get the title either, and I wasn't really sure what you were talking about. But that doesn't seem to be stopping me from really, really liking it. I think you have written it really well, the rhyming is perfect, it flows well and the description is great. So I can't fault the writing style at all, and the only problem I have with it is that I'm not really sure what you're going on about! xD
Okay, I am lame for two reasons:

1) I didn't get the meaning of the title. I apologize. But it really reminded me of Waldo.
2) I didn't really get the meaning of the piece itself.
So, this means that I'm going to focusing this review on the technicalities rather than the content, for which I apologize.
I like how you mention Jane here in order to create a smoother transition for the next stanza. However, the entire thing seems like of unrelated. I'm not sure where everything ties in, and you leave the upper part of the stanza a little disconnected and really ambiguous. I would create a stronger relationship between the Jack and Jill thing and the rest of your poem. Then again, I didn't really understand it all so... my opinion may be completely invalid.
Overall, to be perfectly honest, I didn't really like this as much as the rest of your work. Not saying it's bad- technically, it's still good. I would create more relevance with your material though, maybe throw in some of your masterful imagery, and maybe a bit more emotion. Nice job overall though!
