My words are a direct reflection of what is being played out in my mind. For artistic purpose and dramatic effect I have duct-tapped the "edit" button…

The Poet and The Painter

On December 4, 2022September 7, 2026 By Trilby YatesIn Romantic

Shooting stars flash like bolts of lighteningIlluminating the sky with a sense of magic. If you blink you'll miss it. Take a deep breath and make a wish. He said the best place is the cemetery. No trees to obstruct the view. A black sky with an infinite number of twinkling stars;- that just might …

Love We Have Found

On February 23, 2021February 23, 2021 By Trilby YatesIn Romantic

Men march, their torches burn in the night their women stand street side weeping; not for fear, but emotions emotions so powerful they overflow tear stained faces passion and love You put another log on the fire and I am thankful that you have a turn of the century fireplace in the Big Apple west …

Destiny

On January 25, 2021January 25, 2021 By Trilby YatesIn Perceptions, Romantic

He writes about birds flying over the marsh looking for prey A broad wing hawk soaring near the tiny airport that sits high in the middle of the island It is a divine messenger, you are protected Northern sea fowl diving in chilled waves Seals resting on rocks; a pure sense of nature, God and …

Ageless

On November 1, 2016June 19, 2018 By Trilby YatesIn Beat Generation / Wise Ass, Perceptions, Romantic

I listen compassionately to young poets; exposing their soul with naïveté unobstructed passion struggling to keep their words and truth pure, clear, coherent; and I think to myself, silent within my own insecurities, my own private courtroom - judge and jury, these are the facts, objection, overruled...I recall my own journey; my own learning curve. …

Inconsequential Meeting

On August 23, 2016 By Trilby YatesIn Romantic

Had a dream about you last night; seems since we had our inconsequential meeting - inconsequential feels so removed and so cold and my head hurts when I think and I'm starting to feel too old to be a player in the dating game ... anyway Confirmation washes over me like the cold waters of …

Hit The Pavement

On May 20, 2016 By Trilby YatesIn Beat Generation / Wise Ass, Musically Reclined, Romantic

I'm jumping off a proverbial Jagged earthbound ledge A sorrowful morning Attempting to let it go A stones throw from everything tangible Didn't take the time to think it through And maybe I never intended to All I can imagine All I can visualize Black and white dramatic effect I'm looking out eyes opened wide …

Forgiveness

On April 11, 2016 By Trilby YatesIn Perceptions, Saints or Sinners

Too much time has passed I've forgotten the words to some of the best songs I have ever written And it is a damn shame when the lyrics and rhythm dissipate into the wind like a fog or puff of steamy vapor A transparent ...never really able to grasp at straw sense of loss  Today …

One Word

On February 27, 2016September 9, 2026 By Trilby YatesIn Perceptions2 Comments

Just one word, one word - sharp and cutting. Gut reaction. Automatic visceral response. Anger, fear, shame, confusion, bewilderment. One word, domino effect, emotional draining flash back ...punch in the stomach, what the fuck not quite an epiphany slow realization, an unwinding. Slow with meaning. A learning; knowledge filled shaping, the future bend. Young girl …

Red Dress And No Shoes

On September 6, 2015September 9, 2026 By Trilby YatesIn Musically ReclinedLeave a comment

You want a happy ending just like everyone does but that isn't always the way the story goes when it's a page turner and the punch line at the end leaves you empty handed and a bit  more aloof words fall flat and I'm left in your silence...and I'm standing at the corner flower shop …
