minds' eye
open wide
illusion dies
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 Sep 2019
he of me
how young you be
back then upon my knee
I miss thee
ymmiJ Apr 5
do shadows scare you
not quite seen never unseen
that is your savior
those living without such fear
should be the ones you keep near
ymmiJ Jul 2020
levels shaded green
cascading down mountain slopes
winds alpine scented
ymmiJ Aug 2022
steady rain
dampens any joy
but mine
ymmiJ May 2019
dancing down rivers
bounding boulders, skipping stones
as water bugs waltz
ymmiJ May 31
watching sand castles
slowly erode away
America now
ymmiJ Jun 2019
turning teeth, clicking
every movement counted
watching midnight pass
ymmiJ Aug 2022
living in fear
ghosts ghouls goblins and fools
everywhere
ymmiJ Dec 2024
some say live in the present
but as soon as I do
it becomes the past
and I have to start all over again
ymmiJ Apr 2021
among brown wet earth
reaching towards blue heavens
greens rapid return
in alaska the spring comes quickly.
ymmiJ Sep 2019
nights get longer in the twilight of the year
as I chop winter cordage
recalling those brighter times just had
watching snowbirds point south
ymmiJ May 31
times' a rope
burning my fingers
as I fall
ymmiJ Oct 2021
never stopping time
slipping through grasping fingers
wrinkled through ages
ymmiJ Jul 2022
storm clouds
gather round
listen
ymmiJ Jul 2024
red or blue
see, you get to choose
between fools
ymmiJ Aug 2020
ancient walls crumbled
their whispered secrets buried
modern day decay
history forgotten is history ignore is history doomed to be repeated till decay
ymmiJ Mar 9
for those that wander
a beaten path hardly walked
in the bush deceit
ymmiJ Aug 2019
cloudy head morning
ethanol fueled brain banging
to much tequila
ymmiJ May 2019
picture perfect face
early morning light, shining
nature's early yawn
spying your angelic eyes
love graced mornings deep embrace
ymmiJ Jul 2022
amidst early morn
dewy dreams accumulate
then evaporate
ymmiJ Jul 2022
family
mommas sunday roast
together
ymmiJ Sep 2024
smoke screens slowly fade
rising above chard remains
no truth could have saved
ymmiJ Aug 2021
faded skies return
slow their dreary procession
summer's funeral
ymmiJ Sep 2024
wisdom
isn't being smart
but knowing you are not
ymmiJ Aug 2019
baring it open
revealing these barren shores
high tides ebb away
ymmiJ Nov 2019
bare my soul
this beaten armor
protects still
ymmiJ Feb 23
wishing time
away it will go
forever
ymmiJ May 2020
only giants thrive
leaving scraps on forest floors
in peaceful struggle
ymmiJ Aug 2019
destiny determined
onward to eternity
pacific kings spawn
ymmiJ Sep 2020
peaceful suspension
faithful gravity suspends
tranquility falls
ymmiJ May 2022
may rises
flooding rivers
burst forth
ymmiJ Feb 4
sometimes a faint voice
sweet whispers of the past
echo in your heart
ymmiJ May 2019
it's always been you
from first glance to our last kiss
all eternal bliss
ymmiJ Sep 2022
looking for you
drifts through deeper hues
paradigm of blues
ymmiJ Feb 22
embers die
yesterday's dreams lie
inside her sweet kiss goodbye
ymmiJ Mar 2020
we leave more than take
that's just the nature of things
malthusian hacks
ymmiJ Aug 2021
aspen silhouette
standing alone opining
his souls existence
ymmiJ Dec 2019
love in being here
content staying forever
within this embrace
ymmiJ Jul 2024
sitting on a rock
listening to the trees talk
when they get axes
ymmiJ Aug 2024
can you trust your eyes
do you believe in A I
reality lies
in someone you cannot see
they lied that he is not real
ymmiJ Jul 2024
ignore the warnings
history never repeats
enjoy circus breads
ymmiJ Nov 2024
life is tragedy
between tiny bits of calm
before the next storm
ymmiJ Mar 2021
in focus
only for moments
filming life
ymmiJ Mar 2020
light's tattered approach
breaks our mourning's dark advance
glimmering with hope
ymmiJ Sep 2024
beside falling tides
life abides by hurried strides
hides from prying eyes
ymmiJ May 2021
walking in north winds
south to fading memories
my warm sun setting
ymmiJ Jul 2019
your hot steamy breath
yesterday’s roast with gravy
betrays your mother
bear dog is fat and happy
stealings munchies from pappy
ymmiJ Jun 2019
mountain getaway
mile high gaze, cloudless sky daze
my still mind, amazed
