Yesterday

Standing right in front of me

Yesterday

 

Cast along a dotted line

of yesterdays and practiced rhyme

These dreams before of what was told

deliveries my heart does hold

 

A poet’s thoughts of times gone by

in empty scenes and tear stained eyes

Where broken hearts have come to play

my words they speak of yesterday

 

                   ~~**~~

            

Yet here I stand on corners plead

as verses plant the morning seed

These shadows lingering behind

now disappear in what I find

 

For beauty in my eyes I see

as love it walks the path to me

And since your love has come my way

I’ve no more need for yesterday

You are so right. Who needs the past when the now is looking brighter and more promising in the eyes and beats of the beloved . When the sun is shining with her promises . A wonderful poem...:)

Never know exactly how you're going to steal my heart away but you do each and every time Jack.

There are so many adjectives in the English language but none lovely enough to describe what your poetry does to me.
