Poems
May 2018
The Future Is A Foreign World
Along multitudinal channels
Infinite possibilities exist.
Yet all universes point to you
And in all, you're sorely missed.
The mind plays tricks on us
As the imagination interrupts
With a reality where we lie in peace
Without the surrounding chaos.
A present on the road in awe
Of nature's biggest achievements.
A present without separation
Where that restlessness subsides.
Presently the future feels like home
While the the present isn't real,
An author under a pseudonym
Or cliched red herring.
I fell in love with your mind
But ran away in mine,
I think perhaps you did the same
And flew away in time.
Still at home when you write,
Or text, or call past three am.
For now i lie awake at night
Hopelessly wishing for then.
This sometimes passing yearning
Falls quiet while I sleep,
Wish fulfilment filters through
And reality takes a leep.
Like the oscillation of electrons
Through expanding neural pathways
You fluctuate between hemispheres
Bringing split-second clarity.
Here I sit in false nostalgia
Wishing a different prologue,
Yearning for a different arc,
Longing for a life unlived.
Perhaps next time you sit there too
You'll adapt the narrative.
“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”
― L.P. Hartley, The Go-Between
