Yeses Poems

In the deep silence of the evening, I remember her needs hidden like a pearl in the shell of time

...In the deep silence of the evening, I remember her needs hidden like a pearl in the shell of time,
the same as yours and mine, never forgotten, never postponed by the wind of oblivion,
a dream that...

There are more nos than yeses

...There are more nos than yeses
when my wife goes to Talbots to try on new dresses.
Each dress has to fit her just so
that only her best features show.
And the rest she leaves up to wild-ass guesse...

Yo Man Really

...Yo... Man... Really? That word echoes, hangs heavy in the air/ You say "no," dismissive, a flippant affair/
 But the air vibrates with possibilities, unseized/ Two "yeses" shimmering, carelessly released/

 You could have been a builder, brick by brick, Instead, you're a spectator, watching dreams get sick/
 Your girl she's riding ragged, a runaway train on c...

The yeses i left unspoken

...often have I hesitated,
poised on the brink of "perhaps,"
before unknown paths
that whispered my name.
And there, where the threshold opened
in fevered silence,
I denied the wind its wing,
consecrating the moment
to the still womb of my refusal.
The "yeses" I left unspoken
are grains of light
falling from Mary's womb,
while time holds its breath
in the eternal pause of the Annunciation.
They are Peter’s trembling
on the cusp of the rooster’...

You cannot take the country out of a corn fed Iowa Girl

...You cannot take the country out of a corn-fed Iowa girl
You cannot pull the straw out of her teeth
You cannot take the “yahs” and replace them with “yeses”.
You can try to pull her off the tractor...

My Possessions

closed safe
with the noes
that I received...
and a delicate

the yeses i won......

We Are Artisans of Life

...In this world,
                 we are all artisans...
                  We mend with hands
                     the yeses and the noes,
                     highlights and shadows,
            ...

Colors

...Red is the color of passion and rage
It creates a sense of infuriating rampage

Yellow is the color of joy that enlightens
Expressions of sunrises that always brightens

Green is the color of j...

Peeling Back the Bubble Wrap

...Peeling Back the Bubble Wrap

Peeling back the bubble wrap on the ancient of days, 
Back to when Nixon was still presiding,
He, leading with paranoid deliberations, 
Sold his yeses to the Goldbr...

Je Ne Sais Quoi

...Can't quite put my finger
on the actual ingredients,
 but I know it's you by
the flavorful residue.
Sometimes I cannot
hear everything you say
but I'm in tune with
your mouthful of subtle
aff...

Love Pain

...Love pain has no specific moments 
NO certain timing 
It just buzz out pain in happiness 

You trying to push it back
Unstable it bounces back
This feeling wants to be felt 
You throw it back ...

Tao of System Balance

...If Yang's powers are efficiency of outcomes,
whether positive or negative,
regeneratively sustainable
or strained out toward dissonant chaos
of runaway monopolistic monoculturalism,
which I beli...

Life According To Me

...Life According To Me

GREAT PEOPLE:
I have observed that some of the shortest lives contributed so much more than most. We all have known of many endowed with longevity, but were impoverished of l...

In a Different Frame

...I glaze a look at the street, from

our apartment window.

 

You are coming slowly, teetering

one leg in front other, with back slightly hunched forward,

burdened with sleepless nights a...

Mystery

...Mad moments mesh mind mystery;
Yesterdays yield yonder yeses;
Sight sensuous stash sync sensibly;
Thrust tensile thrill to touch tresses;
Empty emote ends each earthing;
Ready ripe rock rustling rich...
