Mindful Fish
ymmiJ Mar 2019
What could they be thinking
swimming loving rotting sinking
Watching fish doing a mindless thing
Wasting struggling dying for nothing
but alas, that bright silver young-ling
so alarming to see mindful fish doing
a simple mindful thing

Picnic Under Cotton

flat bottom cotton
floating above, motionless
picnic in the park
ymmiJ Nov 2019
I wandered the grand abandoned halls
hearing echos of lavish lives once lived
joys once loud muted by distant pain
what grandeur lost to humbling time
their epic stories covered in dust

The waterbugs glide
Like her sky dive dreams
My middle bug flows with life
She handles the middle with grace and ease. Quite the young adventuring women she has become. Love you bug, dad

On backwood roads, back in time

Floating Thoughts
ymmiJ Apr 2022
floating in my canoe
on this quiet flowing stream
screaming past go jetboats
racing to see the end
my attention goes back
to that odd looking creature
who slapped his flat tail
as if to simply say hello
I continued to watch
a little time longer
as the sun slowly set
off in the distance
a bullfrog asked
how do?

hearts felt through poems
penning emotions laid bare
writing therapy
ymmiJ Apr 2019
You say I disgust you, how gross
Me groveling, for food, for money, for love
Am I any different then you? How rude
You with your loveless life and empty scripts
We both fill our voids because of what we miss
Your know better off then me, the ***, you just
Turned your nose up at.
You splashed my sign
It’s all I had.

Bliss
ymmiJ Apr 2019
It was just like this
Early evening, sun soaked, chaos
When order was restored in your gaze
It was just like that
Early morning, kiss drunk, bliss
When dawn came and went in your arms
Been that way ever since, just like this

Clouds Of Peace
ymmiJ Sep 2019
hiking above the alpine tree line
misty mountain cloud tops seem like floors
raindrops there don't fall they hover

suspended in time
for just a single moment
before plummeting

descending back down amongst the masses
stopping to recapture that halted moment
only to hear the hum of diesel engines

That's My Angel
ymmiJ Feb 2020
when you found me there
blinded in madness
covered in dirt

my bourbon filled eyes
blinking up to you

a sobering vision
(that pulled me through)

how did you ever know
that this lowly man
could be saved
sometimes the train leaves at 100 MPH and never slows down. till they throw you off and leave you there. Hopefully there is an angel standing on the platform, waiting.
