taken to the edge
repeated over again
our pain addicting
then reconciliation
making agony worthwhile
ymmiJ Apr 2019
I saw my future that I did not like
Because of my past I did not prefer
I changed my future I did not want
By being present in thinking for a moment
ymmiJ Mar 2020
building to destroy
it follows the night the day
man owns destruction
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Clarity wont stay
like crossing country wind shields
always collecting
mud from unpaved dirt roads,
woe! no wipers for my soul
ymmiJ Dec 2020
my arms may be tired
this mind as well, surely lags
but my spine stands tall
upon firmly planted legs
I stand guard
vigilant
ymmiJ May 2020
palmetto branches
sway on ocean born breezes
paint by fading light
To my grandmother Lolly and her Pawley’s Island beach house. The Lollypop.
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Hollow wind waling
Whispering the butchers bill tally
heard by all who listen
ymmiJ Mar 2020
sweet jubilation
in weary men’s falling spears
singing no more war
mothers crying in their rooms
rocking baby boys asleep
ymmiJ Apr 2019
A perfect moment.,....
when you find that enough is just right.
ymmiJ Nov 2019
reconcile complete
all questions duly answered
his frail mind at peace
ymmiJ Jun 2020
pure white pages
latest breath ending
peaceful pause
ymmiJ Feb 2020
glorious pastels
adorned his palatte today
peachy skin sunset
ymmiJ Jul 2020
her eyes hypnotize
such beauty rarely displayed
she struts like she knows
ymmiJ Apr 2019
down there in the cracks
I used to get much less light
not much, just enough
ymmiJ Apr 2019
In the midst of drought
Nothings right, no one but us
Your touch primes my soul
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Her green eyes are blue
Pools of tears, from some strange force
Just one smile would do
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Flashes, magic light
instant frozen memories
forgotten places,
faces, friends, family forever
captured in precious photos
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
ymmiJ Jul 4
an ant carried a moth
dead of course
with no remorse
but with pride
at his find
on this July 4th
ymmiJ May 2019
flat bottom cotton
floating above, motionless
picnic in the park
ymmiJ Jan 2020
stopped loving myself
sharing brought more in return
brothers and sisters
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Dark lonely finally rest
Abandoned whispers in the trees
Blue beetles scurry merrily darkly
Among lifeless brown leaves
Finally
Peace
ymmiJ Oct 2019
I am not sad, yet I pray
I am not sick, yet a still pray
I am well, yet I pray even more
ymmiJ Apr 2019
my hands and knees worn
reaching the stream, my blood rinsed
I can now walk home
ymmiJ Apr 12
funeral processions
summers fading into fall
winters after all
ymmiJ Mar 2019
What else? If she can fake a smile?
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Back and forth, turn around
Teeter for two, one open swing
Times of my early days
Going by, alone
Children race
For an open
Swing
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Take pliers to my teeth
Rub my wounds in salt
Just never leave again
ymmiJ Jul 2019
'save the trees!' they yelled
plastic billionaires lobbied
laughing all the way
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Man poisons religion, deceivers
so flawed but powerful, hoarders
of your own believers, you're the fraud
Don't trust in poisoned man, their all flawed
ymmiJ Apr 2019
puppy eyes sad, marbled brown
Sorrow of the world, laid out, down
Sorry buddy, pops is tired
ymmiJ Mar 30
nature and nurture
among endangered species
mothers with children
ymmiJ Mar 26
along western skies
prairie hills bow in homage
to the setting sun
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Dull moon light, parts the bed
writhing limbs, tangled in sweet scented sweat
as the stars jealously peer in
ymmiJ May 2019
thunder's low rumble
lightning arches overhead
cooler breezes blowing in
creatures quicken their paces
scurrying towards shelter
ymmiJ Jan 9
lives inside closed minds
oblivious eyes opened wide
mental suicide
Just because TVs show, doesn't make it so. Think, listen, and learn yourself
ymmiJ Feb 2023
project mockingbird
repeated lies become truth
mass propaganda
reason for tell a vision
remote control programming
ymmiJ Jan 2020
arctic currents flow
pulling old man winters coat
another layer
PSP
ymmiJ Apr 2021
PSP
placid spring pool
serene peaceful submerging
silent ponder scene
ymmiJ Apr 1
when I eat mussels
I always think lemon
then Squeeze
ymmiJ May 10
taking what's not theirs
as if entitled to them
with no punishment
we're in an upside down world
villains killing innocence
ymmiJ Dec 2019
one hundred years on
reading history's follies
this will be page one
Clowns In America lied
silence freedom's ring they tried
ymmiJ Dec 2019
do they even know
sunny smiles always adorned
from the purest gold
magnetic souls multiplied
four perfect children of God
ymmiJ Feb 2020
sometimes words just fit
without knowing their meaning
like this word quagmire
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Was that an aftershock or a new kind of quake
It seemed to go on forever startled me awake
and aware abandoning me as fast as it came to
me alone shivering till the next shake
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Marsh mud salty air
Low tide crab plan their ambush
Coffee on the dock
ymmiJ Dec 2019
this dark night's slight moon
casting empty dead shadows
even wolves go hide
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Can you feel my flame
No flicker, roaring raging
Passion, my heart burns
Engulfing old dead blazes
Building torches held for you
Apologies. The haiku needed more, so it's a tanka. It grew!!
ymmiJ Sep 2019
the rainbow rises
from a rippled glacial pool
hoping hes hungry
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Right on time, here comes the rain
To ease the third degree burns you left
Redeeming lotion to ease a burned heart
