Silence in the Hope of Silence

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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
