Between No and Yes

Don’t get upset when I say no And go stamping out in a huff. Don’t be overly happy when I say yes And wrap your arms around me. The no, gives rise to awaited passion The yes, gives rise to false expectations. The no, makes the longing real The yes, ends all longings. The no, keeps you in my thoughts within my heart The yes, you’re just there! Only fulfilling a holy verse… The space between, no and yes Unfolds each moment with a sightless kiss Meet me there? Where we create heavenly bliss Michael
