A Fine Mist Morning

Waters escaping

Fore
ymmiJ Mar 2019
The clubs are my brushes the courses are my empty spaces
Coloring with wide draws and drooping fades
I sweep in a birdie as my friend counts his paces
I yearn for the roars and the smiles on their faces

When I was young and a day was thirty six not twenty four
Now I am done in nine I wish I could play more
But tomorrow I will paint on a new canvas with a new score
Some say it a nice walk spoiled, I couldn't ask for anything more
For my earliest love

I love chili, meat, onion, tomatoe, and beans
My wife makes it, could take it,
Sometimes chooses to leave
When she forgets to *****
the air out of the chili beans
Just to get a laugh, you know, the best medicine. So laugh if you think it’s funny. If not, beans aren’t your thing, that’s ok too

Heart Felt 2.0

This new heart has felt

When this young heart starts to feel
Antler felt, isn't mother nature grand?

Unsee
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Today is not the day to see what I've seen
Not with the sun shining and everything
From the horrors of paschendale
To that cross on a faraway hill
Humanity has left quite the legacy
From blood stained Hamburger Hill to
Mastering the art of wholesale butchery
I Never wanted to claim my ancestors yokes
The things I've seen are the devils jokes
Pitting man against man and brother against brother
Our sisters and mothers weep to each other
Oh, the things humanity makes me see
Wish I could swipe right and wipe clean
These wicked scenes of humanity
ymmiJ Apr 2019
before this is gone
loving that one final time
in a warm embrace
a simple goodbye won 't do
whisper, caio babe, in a kiss

Ancient Secrets
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Ancient steps worm smooth
Thousands of feet stepping softly
Lives passed on these ancient stones
Love lost and the stories told, walking
Stumbling on the always uneven ledge
timeless whispers in the rocky crags
Notes slipped inside secret cracks
Wishes, dreams, hopes, dashed on
Eroding facade if human history
Lost on hard rocks showing no emotion
At the stories told, lost and never heard again
Rock is hard memories of ghostly laborers
Who placed the stones that sealed our words inside

yikes venezuela
double yikes for red china
lost their human's rights

corrupt governments
pillaging their own people
with just signs to fight

they let it happen
trusting in greedy humans
no one else to blame

lessons never learned
our founding fathers teachings
history repeats

Always There
ymmiJ Jan 2023
He's always there
even when I'm not looking
or listening
or to distracted
with material trappings
he"s always listening
looking
for the right time
to intervene
by guiding
then teaching
be loving
always
He taught love.

Don't Change Your Mind
ymmiJ Apr 2019
My muse has learned to change her frights
not in a material shift
                  but in her dreams
inside
I think it amazing
                                she shrugs it off
no big deal


but if she can change a dream?



                                                   could she change her mind?
