I came to regret....

one X and two Ys
Obvious from birth 
From the hair on my pubic 
To the size of my girth...

Loathing Yokes

Hatred thrives.
Love dies
The heart cries.

Freedom is,
   To break the shackles
   Of the yoke,
   That binds me.
   New beginings, no more work,
   Unchains liberty....

It's the only way a man can see

Putting women in a yoke
So, how can a women be free...

every clergy is an ox
wearing heavy yoke
drawing wooden plow
across the farmland
of people’s vibrant sins
endeavoring to weed
the mess in their souls...

He laugh and laugh until he got choke
He fell to the ground slow
And was covered with snow
It seems poor Rudolph had been yoke...

painted gold metal surface, miniscule
scratches accumulated through the
strains of daily life.
Even watches cannot escape the yoke of time....

          veiled magic in such splendor
               laughing at its yoke

Accusations and lies
the narcissist with demons inside
Stand on your toes
carry a yoke on your shoulders 
No one must know
Store it away in folders
whilst dying the boulders
Alone she sighs...

Mind makes model
Yoke yields yodel


Sign secret say
Touch treasure tray


Id informs ire
Calm cheer conspires


Apt aim attains
Live lovely lane

the snail
carrying his yoke
is always at peace

otherwise
it would free itself
of the burden
and go to death

leaving the shell
a protective home
for some other
naked prey:

thus, is redemptive
suffering…...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Got lil drunk, then broke
Enough with stories,
Crack the damn yoke!
Miracle be with  wall
Drama it started all
Without the climb
There is no fall,
What would then...
God's Glory call?...

hand cups a breast
fingertips trace lips and thighs
learning curves of love

crescent lid of light
In frozen glass marbled eyes
penetrates 

Yoke, spills, dilates sun
Noble thick mourning tears
Drop, slip off a dome sky...

MYTH

Meet mellow maze where wonder waits,
Yield yonder yoke as ample aid;
Thrill touching trace and dare dream dance,
Hurl succinct poke now unafraid.

Names
frame the
handle for
relationships.
I am unique, a daughter, wife, and mom.
I am a poet at P.S. dot com.
Names designate
our yoke to
other
folk.

Here as words steer
Steer picture clear
Clear passage gears


Poke fun at yoke
Yoke in a joke
Joke that now strokes


Pay well for play
Play that sums say
Say that greets day

Ply placid peace
Obsess odd orbs
Etch easy ease
Thrill touchy throbs
Reap rainbow rays
Yoke yielding yes
Seize succinct stay
Taste timely test
If intent inks
Live lazy less
Lift lovely link

Match so naughty of self calamity, 
Alternates modernized tactics of play 
Neglecting physical aggression. 

Countless clearcut chances,  
Impulsively lost to anxiety. 
Trying the best possible to weigh
Yoke propelled by GARCIA in depression....

Quatrain #792:
WRIT


Words in sure strokes now hurl fine mint,
Reap from firm poke a dash that hints;
Ink stains can yoke a deeper pulse,
Thought writ floods tote as colours tint.
