Craig Cornish Poet Free verse

See Ya Tomorrow

I waited - but you didn't come
until tomorrows became wishes for yesterday,
when that silly chuckle and knowing brow
     made shadows play in
          blinding sunsets and
the tired yawns of morning when
     you were here...

when - goodbyes then, were only
     temporary...but it all
suddenly became forever and
   it seems impossible - but
that scratched groove we always
knew - skipped in the exact same place

ta-dum-ta-dum-ta-dum...when
   carefree for granteds and
the waking sun would bring... a smile...

Sotto Poet August 19, 2026 at 2:37 AM This poem carries a strong sense of longing and nostalgia. It expresses the pain of waiting for someone who never arrived, capturing the passage of time with a bittersweet reminiscence. The imagery of sunsets and mornings adds depth to the emotional experience. With a clear structure, the feelings it conveys are heartfelt and relatable. I hope it's fictional.
