Nestor David Armas Poet Free verse

New Phase

Last year's 

Tears 

Followed me into this year 

Still here 

As if after 365 days

Would mean a new phase, 

When it's all the same time line 

The same life yolo right? nine 

For the cats who I envy, 

My heart on no calendar can be 

For it understands not time, 

Just love, 

When there is none

Time is glacial sublime, 

When it's present like a glove, 

It's camera flash after flash and gone,

Before I can even register

Like skipping the steps

And sliding down a banister,

But I still feel it in my insteps,

I know it wasn't a dream,

And so; I cry as I silently scream,

Cursing those joyous around me

Filled with New Year's glee...
