Yesterday

What's a label an obbligato the letter "V" 22th until swallowed Or preyed by the eagle who raids for the booty once said in the past last is first first was last humble duty Tell me about my future pages torn from a blue book staple the present with the past in advance a second look First an "L" at last an "L" a sign was labeled at the door begin "O" ending "O" obbligato So lonely the "V" maintains filled with hope despite envy to ascend and decline free the Eagle fly friendly Where to point was no good being not nice to point in disguise beforehand spelling LOVE meant to anoint Yesterday Why did sight attempt to blur my vision was it a distaction or merely a decision A prolonged thought too soon to judge twice got water and dirt from mud But tommorrow was a promise October the 19th for you to know, who would know maybe something I dreamt Tommorrow made a promise memory would last long here today a lesson taught tommorrow gone Will Wednesday show up late again Sunday, Monday and Tuesday's bait sucker punch below the chin right hand taking cupid's place Dizzy with consistency frown but smile beyond the face break a habit usually pattern broke another day Yesterday My oh my what an appearance to perceive the comparison from a past mistake trembled knee indeed If I was to classify an attitude security notification in search for courage a lion roared a mental revelation Just yesterday I said goodbye 80 yard pass the thought defend an attempted chance at second down conversion penalty flagged a flawless win Tommorrow one might wink a lie lost to dark a will to glow back one step a prep step closer light so bright rain hailed to snow But today's about my future you a page once posted with devotion applied pleasure to caress from deep within yesterday my future pride That's how my greeting begins YESTERDAY.
