I heard that stick snap
it didn’t pop on it’s own
They should be back soon
ymmiJ Mar 2019
A quiet moment receiving this gift
lighting a rose scented candle in remembrance
the breeze that fanned the tiny flame
The warmth let me know you are still here
still warm from that short flickered fire of tears
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Anticipation
Like a first time high school prom
Like the last mile home
ymmiJ May 2019
capital beauty
majestic white  rotunda
where freedom still rings
ymmiJ Apr 2019
black mountain wind sock
filled with the charcoal colored air
man's dark deadly mark
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Crickets warm up at summer dusk
the breeze cools the fire baked crust
spanish moss begins to wake
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Life is a car wash
spend a few precious minutes
come out ***** and span
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Cracked facade, on stained soil
Built on ancient dirt, piled high
Crumbling, buried in time
ymmiJ Apr 2019
I can watch grass grow
Or cherry blossoms bloom
for eternity, when I know  your mine
ymmiJ Jun 2019
jim, the lizard king
people are strangers, he said
at hyacinth house
la woman started my fire
love morrison till the end

hello i love you
find some peace frog, moonlight drive
on your crystal ship
with your riders on a storm
she always loves me two times

...sorry you've gone away.......
ymmiJ Apr 2019
A gentle push and a love guiding
You can endure all of life's pain and sorrow
With love, being strong, is easy
ymmiJ Jun 2022
In the center
pulling heart strings
drag your mind

there peace enters
and oneness begins
these things you'll find
ymmiJ May 2024
He wandered
Sauntered like a chameleon
Well suited for any situation
In and out, up and down
He cooked, he hooked, he booked
he took his empty soul
and poured what was left out
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Taking Chance on a spring breakup walk
Knows the ground ever alert
For moose nibbling a too early spruce stalk
breakup is when the Alaskan earth breaks free of it's winter bonds. my first attempt at a Haiku, be nice. Chance is our dog we were his last.That's it, i can't mess with this 1st attempt at a Haiku anymore. maybe I am not a haiku guy.But they are cool to read

all time passed changes
as people never stop
I've already changed
and there's nothing
I can change about it
as change only occurs
once time has passed
ymmiJ Apr 2019
no matter how small
changes cause me to take pause,
reflecting upon,
minuscule memories come
flooding right back, like magic
ymmiJ May 2019
consequence
good, bad depends on decisions
made yesterday, change today, for tomorrow
ymmiJ Oct 2019
with colors fading
everything shading gray
look out stained windows

shrimp and grits
five o'clock bourbon
lowcountry life

I didn't have much money, I think you knew that
you said "chili dogs and beer, walk the pier?"
some say thats a cheap date
I called it a game changer
twenty seven years later, after we got it all made
our go to still chill dogs, beer, and sunsets at the pier
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Glass slipper sale
Cheap, buy the bakers dozen
Cinderella’s everywhere
ymmiJ Apr 2019
blue maria-bella
ever under your black silk
umbrella, hiding those dark
rings of Saturn eyes, in vain,
from the ever present light
ymmiJ Mar 2019
Really guy? Everyday the same old same
You open my gate and I enter head in shame

What'll it be today?  left right then left again
How long should it take, it really is insane

You always hoping " I got him this round"
But I am what I am and set my nose to ground

A look in your eyes you think I aim to please
Let me put on another show
How hard you hid the cheese
ymmiJ May 2020
mountain top picnic
magical family place
how many more times
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Tomorrow seems a dream
Lost in your forever embrace
My pumpkin awaits
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Suns cracked it's yoke this evenjng
Spilling yellow gold over the city
Oozing from now yellow mountains,
ymmiJ Feb 2020
our embrace tightens
between climactic moments
ending in silence
sliding in lucid deep pools
from raging rapids above
ymmiJ Mar 2020
evening fire burns
eyes staring through dancing lights
hypnotizing me

flames burning
melting the days pain
ill thoughts fade

watching flickers die
embers holding their days gain
it's weight still lighter

leaving ash
to be swept away
as 'morrows trash
ymmiJ Apr 2019
spray from wind driven waves
washes the edges, earths soil
sea mist stings my eyes
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Reading between lines
silly games played with our minds
translations muddied
thoughts now clearing, fogs lifting
Clearer thinking, crystal sight
ymmiJ Apr 2019
The dust is quenched
Baby blue with silver skies now
Every storm passes on
ymmiJ Feb 2020
I'm the tails of this churning milky way
spinning out trying to cling on
to the center of my universe
ymmiJ May 2019
my dreams never died
instead they drifted on by
that cloud has two eyes
ymmiJ Mar 2019
I climbed this high peak
To get above the deep clouds
Heaven still eludes me
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Cloud crossing high
So the peaks cant reach
And disrupt the sky white display
ymmiJ Sep 2019
hiking above the alpine tree line
misty mountain cloud tops seem like floors
raindrops there don't fall they hover

suspended in time
for just a single moment
before plummeting

descending back down amongst the masses
stopping to recapture that halted moment
only to hear the hum of diesel engines
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Cool lone winter howl haunting power
Echoes off frozen ground, and frost bit limbs
The wind lifts her chilling scream  for all the others to hear
fear me,  
I come
ymmiJ Apr 2019
I'm gonna be ready
Planning my words as I speak
when you start coming
back around again, see me
getting straight thoughts not yet said
ymmiJ Oct 2020
nothing equals her
empty spaces never filled
without her nothing
ymmiJ Feb 2020
my conscience went streaming by
in the mouth of a giant king salmon
the sheer audacity in eating my fly
consumed with fresh squeezed lemon
ymmiJ Sep 2019
in my deep recess
where my true self goes to think
I take you with me
ymmiJ May 2019
contentment
when knowing enough is enough
just me and you, being alone, anywhere
ymmiJ Feb 2024
DARK
this last breath
like so many before
forgotten
LIGHT
such sweet breath
the next ever sweeter
enriching
ymmiJ Jul 2020
under an umbrella
yet no rain to shield
nor sun to block
it’s just there
out of place
in space
blocking views
of above
of you
never cared
for umbrellas
kind of
depressing
ymmiJ Feb 2021
hot mug warming hands
fire heating still quiet
outside snow flutters
sending cool chills deep inside
cozy feet rub in reply
ymmiJ Apr 2019
four toe heads all tan
launching lures and cannonballs
salts healing skinned shins
ymmiJ Mar 2020
his lone call echoes
haunting frozen winter lands
inside bones chilling
ymmiJ Nov 2019
creepy crow calling
echoes with lonely despair
even the dogs stopped
ymmiJ Apr 2019
White caps on the  inlet
Only the crows stand obstinate
As the sky turns black, forbidding flught
ymmiJ Apr 2019
wolves shed tears, howling
moonlight cries, echoing
fireplace writing, reflecting
old flames in my heart, rekindling
memories, drifting
old feelings deep, thawing
when I too howled tears, crying
at the moonlight, sobbing
