so much more than no,
yes is.
all the promises of God
and truly
godly people,
sworn to never lie,

rest in trust, yes has
made peace
sensible. Yes, taste it,

take it in, breathe,
my taken peace, I give,
yes
granted, it's given to all,
but this bit
is yours. This one yes is for you, for when next
a yes is all you need.
new mercies I found

Let’s take that risk
Why don’t we change things up?
I jumped first
You either got pulled in or you jumped right after me
Either way
You jumped after me
No amount of words can tell you how happy I am
That’s a lie
Everything about that moment was
Breathtaking
I wish you could hear my thoughts in that moment
They were screaming
Chanting
Sending all the positivity in my life
Once you said that answer
I was overjoyed
In that moment
I felt like a kid on their birthday
I wanted to jump out of my skin
Every time I thought about this moment
I thought it’d be in person and the other way around
But hey, you can’t always have it all
I am just happy that I might get my chance
This chance will test it all
Let’s just take that risk together
Don’t choose to go back on your word
Since this was a bigger jump for me than you.
So like I said, Just say Yes.

How can one person
who is given everything
from another individual
find it within themselves
to want back the person who gave them nothing
but a body to hold late at night

Yes, I'm a ******* poet
And I'm proud of it
A poem every day.

Wading waist-deep in murky ocean water.
I sense the life that exists within these waves
           and
feel the loose sediment of the ocean floor brush against me with every push and pull of the tide
as it kisses the shore.
These long suffered nightmares of you wash away as I depart from the sea.
Tragedy shall no longer burden these
                       sun-kissed
                  shoulders of mine.
I exhale all the pain you’ve caused me as the water cascades down my skin.
They say that every 7 years, your body is comprised of brand new and untouched cells.
I find comfort in knowing that this year
I will grow into a body that you’ll have never
touched.
Ah, yes.
This is when I begin to heal.

I said Yes to laughter and joy,
to Life that I really want to enjoy,
to the charming power of trees in bloom,
to my soul-mate, soon to be my groom.

I said Yes to the creature in the mirror,
to the naked night that seems nearer,
to the unseen colours of Tomorrow,
to the star that's born from its sorrow.

I said Yes to the quietest thunder,
to your unforgettable love and wonder,
to your heart which is like an open book,
to the chance that I don't regret I took.

I said Yes, even if my head was spinning,
because everything in life's about winning,
you're a winner if you throw the golden dice,
I took my chance, I didn't think twice!

When your words speak yes
but
your actions show me no

You said yes
But you wanna say no
