Living In The Past
I stare
into space
as I tear the air
with my eyes glazed ,
the dark does glare
in hollow waste ,
from the love once shared
in brighter days .
We see time gone by
as a daydream
played out from mind ,
like a reprieve
from the real , the bind
or to just say feel
the hands of those once kind .
I snap
back to now
like a big hand cracked
or slapped my brow .
I must get together my act
for the tomorrow , somehow .

i might say to start out with it was such an honer you bestowed upon me for your comment on my poem, thank you from the bottom of my heart. your poem rang true to me as it seems in my life as chapters fold and end then another one began, that sometimes they seemed as a lifetime ago and then i think did i dream that or did it really happen...anyway i loved this poem it did send so many memories into my minds eye

I have been stumbling across your work in competition-especially the recent Music one-and I had to read more of your stuff. You have an amazing way with lyrics and rhythm- extremely gifted work!!! Thank you

I had a quick peek at your profile and I love the same music as you do-a tiny bit younger than you-and love Indian food more than all others but experiment in cooking-a lot.I also play some guitar but now seem to prefer drums-anyway-found it funny-was Listening to some Doors when reading it-cool.
