Random Poem:

tenses
unknown

Yesterday, I will run backwards.
 1
In the park, where the sky below you shimmers in the cold summer sun.
 2
 
 
Where you eat as many of the pure blue strawberries that could ever fill your tummy.
 3
 
 
Tomorrow, I felt like the hand that I was reaching out, out to you, my love, will feel warm, when your hand touches mine, and that wonderful feel of fingers interlocking, like love.
 4
 
 
And I will write this poem, with thoughts of a green grassy field, with intoxicating music playing loud about you. You knew, like telly-tubies.
 5
 
 
Because when I wrote about you, love, I know about him. He is who. And depressed I do felt.
 6
For lips of yours, like strawberries, had been a magical thing.
 7
 
 
For love, my love, I be confused, so sad.
 8
To lose the tense
 9
of present
 10
and past,
 11
where be I:
 12
the time?!
 13
just walking backwards through a grassy hill,
 14
may I meet you there,
 15
on yesterday?
 16
