Michael Quinn Poet Ode

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
