Like It Was Yesterday Poems - Poems about Like It Was Yesterday

Long Drive from Yesterday
The hours have been driving me, miles upon miles have sunk the sky, Florida now hangs from distant cypress trees. I almost miss the exit ramp, This kind of waking and sleeping is controlled by a ghost in my head. Now I am eyes on the corners where a flickering sunset swings between interlaced trees. Feet juggle over a low flying road, while tense hands...

Letting Go of Yesterday
Laying in a hammock Swaying back and forth Reminiscing long gone fun Remembering what was done. Sitting on a swing Poised above the ground In your eyes are tears About all the lost years. You can't fix the past But you can do this: Loathe? I don't think so Forgive your ex: let go!...

Goodbye Yesterday
Did she wonder why ? watching him in darkest sky goodbye, with a sigh does nothing last forever ? did she cry today ? watching him as he walked away goodbye, then he asked to stay didn't stop, a past delay did she smile today ? would her pain just step away goodbye yesterday make it last forever did he hope today ? did he know, if...

Yesterday has faded away Tomorrow is an unknown day One past, the other to come Twixt the two we dance and mourn Yesterday holds some mystery Tomorrow’s hope is clarity Today, both is out of reach No matter how hard we seek Yesterday brought laughter and pain Tomorrow may bring both again Filter the past through a sieve Today is the time to live Tomorrow never gives...

No longer can I write for soup Not even a poem on poop I'm cheating I'm using AI If challenged of course I'll deny! Aliens whisked my brain away ... Was normal until yesterday! My notepad is now firmly shut I'm bereft, my brain is kaput! ...

Yesterday
Yesterday We went on our first date. Yesterday was great. It is nice to see you smile. You are radiant like water gleaming on the nile. Too much time alone was wasted. The past memories have faded. Where do we go from here? I can take you by the hand my dear. Time can only...

"Yesterday, seems so far away" and so different from today As we look in rose-colored mist where memories fondly exist Alas, the truth so often lies Hidden deeply in clouded skies Or, painted as a golden leaf A somewhat truth in Bas Relief...

Premium Member Yesterday in a Moment
Soon dawn at plum morn though pearly moon still keeps watch, for the golden end. Afternoon's recalled in dreams adorned in wild color schemes. Memory Lane sleeps as orange noon is coming, after dusk scarlet. Lemon-lime hours revisit and bluebird returns vivid. Pink skies are coming a jade past is repeating, since tomorrow's gone. Time's fallen asleep, at last skewing the future and past. ...

Yesterday void of compassion
When yesterdays become devoid of compassion Past once filled with kindness Became stripped of those gentle hues. You look back,see what was care What felt like love now appears tainted by ego The smile you cherished now feels hollow. ...

Premium Member She spoke to me yesterday
She spoke to me yesterday Rippling in the brisk spring breeze Humming her song of freedom Etched with the pain of passion Humbled by the sacrifices endured Snapped sharply as a gust stirred images Of a county’s growing pains The trauma of generational gestation Then she whispered to me As I shed a tear Each must become its own Sharpen its own sword Stand tall in the...
