    Chasing Now

    Maybe I spend too much time there

    As if my mere presence could change something

        or should change something

    I linger

    uninvited

     

    Running my fingers through the hair of every ghost

         lying naked next to every lover

         grieving inconsolably over each loss

    Waiting for the story to magically rewrite itself

    My energy spirals into a self-sustaining reverse flow

    I just want to know

    If I had done things differently

         would I have spared myself

          the pain

    In vain

    I linger

    uninvited

     

    As the

    Now

         floats by

    So very thoughtful and serene...Although it seems the past can be changed, it can never be brought back. Thing is you can remedy some of the past within your future life...This is quite nice, great poem love...(Mike)

    I'm a tad confused. The past can't be changed and the future starts now. From the way you write, you already know that.Good expressions though. I'm probably just too dense ha ha.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
