what's a lifetime mean
the mayfly hatching, I'm awed
so easily he flies
ymmiJ Mar 2019
The carny wheel turns
Slowly as a man quickens
To get on the ride again
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
ymmiJ Apr 2019
crazy life cycles
always throwing hay makers
took my shining star
shaded her heaven sent light
dimmed her, she still glows
ymmiJ Apr 2019
This stage has been set
before ever being born
destiny to stay

The paths been rocky
pitfalls, deadfalls, mine fields, just
to be here at all

The season has come
changes inevitable
As wisdom follows

The final times here
Twilight of golden living
eternal sunrise
ymmiJ Apr 2019
final phase in life
one last stage, the sage within
concluding season
ymmiJ Mar 2020
most rich tapestry
woven with delicate hands
from one solid strand

watching such weaving
my mind racing with desire
what yet to be seen

now almost complete
final touches yet applied
looking at myself
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Here she comes again
out of the rain, shining in
and there goes my pain
ymmiJ Nov 2020
ancient traditions
times recalled around great halls
toasting ancestors
ymmiJ Apr 2020
museum pieces
cluttered around aging homes
get dusted daily
brought back to shiny new life
when everything was new
ymmiJ Mar 2019
This little one is
My sweet yellow bird
With a butterfly heart
For TS Awareness and my little butterfly

snake oil selling man
*** H Dee, carney barker
pushing empty dreams
rock bottom close out pricing
beware the foolish buyer

water
liquid life
flouride
they poison our wells
as we blame ourselves
ymmiJ Dec 2019
his whisper echoed
through empty halls once crowded
with youth’s hopeful dreams
ymmiJ Apr 2021
they're hypnotizing
then radicalizing thought
playing their fiddles

my little sweet child
when did that monster steal your smile
I was too dumb to really even notice
But today, I thought I saw a glimpse
creep back across your beautiful face
Pay attention to your little ones, mine 25,21,17,14 and I could **** if someone stole their smile. protect them, insects swarm beauty
ymmiJ May 2021
Life simply bursts to life overnight
here in the land of the midnight sun
knowing it has no time to waste
as the first frost is never far off
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Otters on their backs
In turbulent seas, calm bays
Comfort in their fur
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Wishing days away
No guarantees, tomorrow’s
Dreams, happening now
ymmiJ Jun 2019
reflecting
sunlight highlights our scars healing
finally seeing what God has been planning
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Heard old time jazz on
Flapper era, thought of you
how you danced to it
ymmiJ May 2019
Birdwell Beach Britches
sitting dockside, toes cooling
new Petty playing

sun soaked shoulders burn
under sky high heat beating down
cane pole cork bobbing

toe heads gone platinum
summers on Lolly's creek pier
Pawley's Island Home

this chair rocked then
gentle arms cradled my sleep
their hands patted me
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Wild hearted woman
turbo diesel *****, sin
in heels, long legged
sweet striding thighs high stepping
heels caving me to my knees
ymmiJ Apr 2019
This new man, they see
from the dirt, mud, life’s grime
Wiped off, the real me

slower rising yet faster falling

loss
the permanent kind
leaves undug holes
and no earth to fill them in
ymmiJ Apr 2019
I see your eyes in the coral clear seas
Shades of aqua green memories
As I drift away on your shifting tides
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Why do we fight
Blood boiling battle
hair pulling tooth rattling
earth shattering constant fighting
Then makeup all night
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Sweet bountiful soul
palates of emotions and more
food is love to eat
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Look at this cat he has all the letters.
Parades them around like some kind of peacock feathers.

The letters say he has earned the right.
To tell you what's a worthy plight.
To eat, sleep, and love this way.
Dont' do  as I do, just do as I say!
The letters say he can speak that way.

Big or small he knows them all.
Life, numbers, why does an apple fall
Ask him and he will say, "yes, I know that too".
Heck, I bet he can describe the color blue
to a blind man to boot!

"You shouldn't do this and definitely not that.
You should use maple for your baseball bat.
I should know I played minor league ball.
Well, before I got these letters and all."

He will tell you how hard he worked
and how much he has learned.
Swearing he knows best
and stealing everyone's turn.

After the blubbering, blabbering,
pomp and circumstance.
I came away saying
" am not sure this guy has a chance?"

It's not the letters you have but the words you say
To not have all the answers is OK
It's always pride before the fall.
....and your letters are the least
of them all.
I have no idea why I wrote this or how. I do not study writing in any form and really have no desire to learn a proper way to write. I just write what is given to me and it may ****. But it is written and I fell good doing it. Thanks for reading.

no
more
colors
everything
dark, depressing, grey
nothing bright shining, rain soaked days
hoping, praying you turn your loving light back my way
ymmiJ Feb 2020
in rhythm lies love
nature’s perfect harmony
our sweet melody
slow to fast tempo changes
while keeping time together
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Blood hot blade slid
Gently into my breathless chest
Woman, I adore you

red ferns grow
between lifetimes together

such teeming passion
surging rivers running red
till death do us part

poor old papillon
forever stuck devil's isle
swimming with hungry sharks

Love only adds up
when you get less but give more
you thus even the score

silky sheets wrapped tight
covered gifts she had inside
Christmas came early
Hey, after 27 years of marriage I could have called it A Christmas Miracle!! I kid of course.
ymmiJ Mar 2
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
ymmiJ Oct 2019
lost in swirling eyes
mesmerized by rarity
such beauty for me
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Crisp clear predawn sky
Ample hues of dull moon rays
Enjoying love under lunar light
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Winded to the top
Mist filled mountain, chilled
The burning jnside
ymmiJ Oct 2019
neon tentacles
creeping on mesmerized prey
poisonous beauty
ymmiJ Aug 2020
inside asylum
fear locking your thoughtful mind
wearing masks outside
your isolation complete
total subordination
ymmiJ Jun 2020
she holds our secret
among her black white feathers
strength in unity
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Twisted words you made me say
Shady back door behavior played
Messed up feelings led to all out war
Total loss of any clear rationale thought
Coming unglued and exploding rage
Only one person could drive me this mad,
You
The only reason worth all that pain
You
now comes the time for the making up
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Missing my own son rise
Never saw my own sunset
opportunities lost forever
ymmiJ Jul 2022
twas watering my plants
when a young tomatoe
asked for seconds
please
ymmiJ Dec 2019
her eyes swirling blue
shading mine aqua marine
sweeping me away
