Chasms

That seemingly uncrossable chasm
Between youth and as old age
Is all too easily  bridged 
As tomorrows become yesterdays


My Ode To Love Poetry In Motion

Twirling,
Falling aimlessly,
My ode to love was inaudible,
Whirling against the breath and sigh
Of yesterdays

Cynthia

Marathon Man

Morning; I awake
with stiffness in my
lank legs.
Yesterdays long run
has taken its toll
on my
ungrateful, ageing
body.

yesterdays
sunshine rays
hearts ablaze

happy sighs

times to share
love so rare
what a pair

Premium Member Gray Tones of Blahness

gray tones of blah ness
settle into apathy
yesterdays flatline

pathetically plain
ridiculously stagnant
my mind plays opossum

I've noticed
Yesterdays
In your eyes

Memories
Crowded house
Three's too much

You're still high
You're so full
Of her love

A poets desire is to be understood
through the essence of a rhyme.
His words are yesterdays memories
borrowed from the passing of time.

Came across this old vet
From yesterdays gone.
His voice full of tears.

He sang for his flag,
And played for the boys
He once knew.

How Life Should Be Lived

Remember your yesterdays 
For they made you who you are 
Live for today
For tomorrow may never come
Dream of tomorrow 
For it makes life better

Leaving Tomorrow

Running toward my yesterdays, 
the future in pursuit

The loosest ends when left undone
—the past my guilt recruits

Premium Member Uncharted Moment


I saw him passing by
a picture of sea and lazy sun
our eyes met in passion
but that was many yesterdays ago
and I never even learned his name

I Love Her the Most

I love her the most when she's asleep, 
Unstirring as with yesterdays toil. 
Her restful repose,  her ruddied cheek 
Now in blissful embroyonic coil.

lost tribes
worlds away
shunning progress
living on yesterdays…
always

dragons
underground
bones long asleep
yesterdays overstay…
ever

Premium Member Is It Possible

To forget about yesterdays and tomorrows,
any fear, worries, or obligations.
Nothing beyond the here and now.
So when close free,
to feel alive again.

The 5th Stage of Grief

I prefer to feel that I have shook hands with existing with the Present; recognizing that my yesterdays will persistently tyrannize my once buoyant tomorrows.

Gone Astray

She promised me tomorrow,
  stealing all my yesterdays

A future blackened with her lies
 —the present gone astray

Going Days

Passing of all days
Not letting me know 
I wait at where the days exit 
To join to go with them 
Not being at old yesterdays 
But to find a fresh tomorrow
