The Magic Word "Yes"



-when the magic word; 'YES'
 -wears its natural amour

 -the heavens comes down
 -with a rose of the lilies

 YES!

 -Is the unblical word
  that answers the clockwise dreams

 -of a man's raging and burnt
 -desires of a heartbeats

 YES!

 -we search for it in the mist
 -of many unanswered questions

 -we dream to find it in the hidden
 -palms of the dark hours

 YES!

 -of a man's hungry souls
 -with baton of anxieties

 -when it finally comes
 -becomes the costly bride

 YES!

 -gives the dreamer the salt
 -to pinch its pains

 -long disappointments disappears
 -like air in the cloudstands

 YES!

 -hopes that was laid on punches bags
 -grows wings to fly

 -the heart renders songs of joy
 -to the listening moments

 YES!

 -fulfilments graces the worn faces
 -of the anguish hopes

 YES!

 -the magic word balm
 -that restores the stolen peg of life

 YES!

 -and the life of a man
 -wears a new reed of badges.
