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
