my youthful brightness
faded like the setting sun
the dusk torments me
How many poems have I deleted that I shouldn't have? I almost deleted this one but it kind of grew on me. Blessings friends

Life Leeches
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Ever felt a dark kind of aura
Someone nasty vile horrid
Always bringing you down
Leaving you caustic and bored
Life's little leeches and vampired hoards
Always take care be cautious but bold
Dont let them in to devour your soul
What you have is worth protecting
Be steady gates of oak
They flung theirs away and
Now have been told
To gather more for that evil dark lord
So, stay in the light snd
As your soul  told
Ever vigilant the devil never gets old
Always angling to give him your gold

My Wife Wrote This

Swift current
Line in the water
Fight begins
With a beer in one hand, a fly rod in the other. For her first attempt at writing a poem. Color me impressed!! The bead bite on the Kenai is beginning!

each day a new dream
when senses become overwhelmed
with nightly resets
ymmiJ Mar 2019
That place in mind so dark
that bats can see just fine
is where I go to hide
and find that light again
to repeat my tired cycle of
dark to light to feel the pain
to better illustrate all that remains
is no love means no gain

Pine tree pol in

Oyster roast shuck in
Childhood remember in

What do you fear
On quiet sleepless nights
Is it the not knowing
What lies ahead
or
what lays behind
Do you toss and turn
with uncertainty

Of a measure to come
that you will be found wanting
Or to not be weighed at all
and all this tossing and turning
was for nothing big or small
ymmiJ Apr 2019
They are all gone now
Everyone before you, swept
away in your wake
drifting old sirens drown in
surging aqua blue currents

Piano Man
ymmiJ Mar 2019
The moody piano played
The man stood crying in the shower
she closed the door quietly behind her
I'm not dark but it cam to me. So I shared it. Look at it as two new beginnings instead of one old ending

Duly Noted
ymmiJ Apr 2019
When I look at you
I don't see the hate
But, boy! I feel it, I think,
I even smell it, oozing,
from your open pores.
Thank you, duly noted.

The fear is not living, though some do
Nor the fear of living life alone, that too
The fear Is dying and being buried alone,

your hateful words prove that true
praying for you too
that's a real Christian view
try it out, it may suite you
