Deviant Past

On May 26, 2016May 26, 2016 By Trilby YatesIn Beat Generation / Wise Ass, Perceptions

The days, shorter now - nights longer... Appearing darker than the norm Without the slightest hint of an artists color Creative minds freeze dry skyline falls flat With just a glaze of sepia But, only around the rough edges And I have a hole in my one size fits all Italian handmade 100% cotton shirt …

Conversation With Self

On May 20, 2016 By Trilby YatesIn Beat Generation / Wise Ass, Perceptions

Ramblings... A conversation with self...yes, I get tired. Yes, I slip in and out of total disbelief...still, almost how many years later? Yes, I question what it all means. Yes, I wonder what my future holds. And yes, I fear the thought of moving forward and the thought of not... I dream of a music …

Breathe Easy

On April 2, 2016April 19, 2020 By Trilby YatesIn PerceptionsLeave a comment

It's that shading time of in-between end of daylight and the start of nighttime when shadows lose their definition and begin to morph into a quiet spaceless-ness When love wraps itself around all the worlds creatures with the warmth and security of a lovers arms or the way a parent would embrace - their child …

Depression

On November 20, 2015September 9, 2026 By Trilby YatesIn PerceptionsLeave a comment

Shades drawn closed darkness blankets every corner of the room shadows become one flattened and obscure off in the distance are muted sounds a whistling tea pot hopefully someone will attend to its needs wrapped gingerly within solitary seclusion and doubt ...insecurity has become a knife held to my throat by my own hand widow's …

My Brother

Your father is not mine My mother is yours We grew up in the same house Your eyes are blue Mine brown We shared the same dreams and nightmares You carried yours As a concealed weapon hidden Mine on my sleeve A rebel flag fully exposed You ran with the wind at your back chasing …

Time Together

I recall the wonderful dreams you had the way they put a smile on your face the way life used to take you by storm ...but never caught you off guard Now and then I come to terms with all that we once had and all that we could not hold onto As hard as …

Slightly Off Key

On April 25, 2014August 21, 2016 By Trilby YatesIn RomanticLeave a comment

How well you thought you knew me; not so long ago when I walked the rocky coast late at night - New England rag tag shore line But, it was in my darkest hours that you seemed to fade away... An ambiguous image blurred and out of view Like two proverbial battle weary ships, in …

Dark Cloud

Hiding from the quiet stillness that comes from hanging low off the grid moonlight shoots rays of sadness into my veins slow drip enthusiastic recollection skipping stones across the Sound echos back at you baby there is no time quite like now yesterday is layered in a haze and tomorrow holds promises like a sieve …

Tongue and cheek slap down mixed match lovers jest one blink loser begs for mercy there wasn't a time when second thoughts or lack of judgement flying too high meant it wasn't our time but just as the fun began you slipped away off to another land without limitations leaving me behind trapped in the …
