Tomorrow Never Comes

Tomorrow never comes

Lost in the memories of yesterday
Glories of triumphs bygone
Reveries intermittently broken
As pains from the boo-boos of yore
Break through to the fore
From their sepulchres 
Deep, at the back of my mind
Where I'd had them entombed.

Yo-yoing between emotions;
Pleasant and afflictive
In self-motivation
I cultivate amendatory measures for your arrival 
Till the sun is swallowed
By the open-mouthed horizon
And the ensuing darkness
Overcome by a golden lunar luminescence.

With a smile, I drift into a slumber.
In you I see a glimmer
Hope, far away on the horizon
That at the passing of today
You will ease the pain of yesterday
But again, I wake
Only to meet another 'today'
As always, you never came.

Adeyemi Joshua August 28, 2017 at 4:17 PM Thriving fixation is what life owes. 'Life does not serve you what you want,you dish from her anything you want". Sandison Jumbo September 2, 2017 at 7:26 AM Thanks Adeyemi for your comment. Indeed, in life you can only make the best you can of today. Also, sleeping and waking the next day doesn't change situations no matter how hopeful you are. But literally, everyday is a today. As we say "every today was the tomorow of yesterday".
