(Very early in the morning, I publish these to you)
A Quiet Torn
Feelings of loneliness, sadness
Grind within me,
Not knowing what else to do
I shine my teeth.
Grieving on the inside
For the me I used to be
Wondering how I got here
And wondering if I'll ever be
(Loving, personable, kind, refreshingly)
The person I was truly
And really meant to be.
- Yvette M. Curtis-Brown

Another One
I don't know what else to do
But to smile back at you
Wondering who
You think I am
When you see me
Smile at you.
- Yvette
-----------------------------------
Not Knowing
Kind of caught up in the crowd
Looking at you from a distance
I grin
On the inside, I shiver
My mind shifts to the good times
And I could only count them if I had the time
Your sublime reminds me of a pasttime
When life was good and sweet
And mellow and yellow
And truly drumming to its own beat
I hardly wait for you to come see me
I see you in the heart of me
And I cannot wait to say "Hello" to you.
- Yvette
-----------------------------------
Very Personal
She shines
She's spiritually entwined with me
Her name is Wynter
And I love her
She is my spirit rising up to the occasion
Who am I when she sees me, I wonder
This person to whom she's entrusted her spirit
A heavy-duty task
For me
But one that I hold dearly--
In helping me to grow
I even love her dissidence
This baby girl, to me,
Is truly Heaven-sent.
I love you, Wynter.
Mommy
- Yvette to the rest : )

The Horizon
Sometimes, when I look and see you
I smile
I smile at who we were meant to be
Th diligent two
Getting things done
Focused on being number one
For ourselves and each other--
The love we have
Pales in comparison
To the greats of yesteryear
So sweet, my Dear,
To have met you
Sweet melodies dance in my head
Of you in my dreams
Singing praises of love
And truth and you
And you and truth
And the you and me above.
- Yvette

To My Husband
Caressing long nights of kisses and hugs
Sent directly from above
God has sent me to you
To prove your love really works.
What a joy to know you
In the long run!
You are a truly special one.
A man of integrity
And that's hard to find.
You are truly one of a kind.
Golden sheets and golden nuggets
Fill your spirit.
Your specialness and kindness
Are truly legit
I have to say that you are
The ishnit.
Your Wife,
Yvette
