They are all gone now
Everyone before you, swept
away in your wake
drifting old sirens drown in
surging aqua blue currents

Don't Be Alone
ymmiJ Apr 2019
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,

Cues
ymmiJ Apr 2019
I'm sorry if I hurt you
It's just so many things
not to say, not to do
so many rules, taboos
it's difficult for me too
picking up all these cues
filtering, to find the real you

Ode To Jerry
ymmiJ Feb 2020
misty dawn
falls to morning dew
feels like rain
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

we'd spend hours
lines danglin' from ol' cane poles
not gettin' a bite
shoulders sun kissed and red
bobbers justa bobbin'
no worldly care to give
talking about nothin'
and everything at once
swattin' bugs
chewin' twigs
watchin' birds dip
then divin' in
to feel that salty sting
sometimes we'd fill a stringer
with granny justa grinnin'
she'd fry'em in
her cast iron skillet
hangin'
now in my kitchen

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

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

there’s a tiny pause between
me breathing again
