I can’t get myself to write lately
it now comes from a place too close, too easy
not pulled by the slippery roots of an elusive plant
residing deep in the darkness of a well
where words and thought are one
I am worn by age
and loss
and every line
every word
every poem resides
in its own time
when poetry was fire
The good times are a thing of the past
Life goes on
I said with a tear on my eye

I look back and I wish to go
I wish to go back to when you would kiss me

Now that I look back I realize
How fast time flies by
And we dont learn until its too late
To enjoy every second of our lifes

The feeling of your words
Is something that I'll never forget
I wish I could go
To when we first met

I wish I could be back
In the last week we were together
So that I can tell you again
In a meaningfull way
That I love you more than myself

I wish I could be back on that bus
Those rides used to be the highs of my day
You held my hand tight
I tought it would be forever

And now
Here I am
Jasper Sep 21
We sat talking, us two,
And one asked the question,
If you could go back, what
Would you do? The other said,
I'd relive every memory,
Every broken promise,
Every lasting wound
And every ruined dream,
Because without it all
I never would've met the one
Who made everything worth
It, the one who's
Making me forget
I'm breathing.

Stop !
" smack "
Here comes another slap,
Suddenly the barking of dogs stop ,
I look up,
The mirror holding a my unknown pop.

The room is looked,
Yes , i am alone ,
Hands still trembling, stuck in invisible strom.
I hate the girl standing in front of me ,
Still lost , drizzling and comparing both the " we " .

The wall behind still dancing with my old part ,
Smiling , thriving , Carefree , shining,  
With innocent and open heart .
She is light and the only remain ,
Dancing,
she paused and looked up,
Back in the mirror ,
Same eyes , same face ,
But all left is unspoken pain.


the devil drifted in ,
' you both can't be the same ',
Another " smack " .
But This time my heart burned ,
I hate this , every part of it,
I shut my eyes,
Breath shuffled.

On the verge of accompanying the last peice of darkness ,
A shadow stop me ,
Smiling , thriving still the same beautiful mess.
She came close,
eyes met,
For first time she spoke but a torn set.

" we are indeed not the same ,
The war is different but not the blame.
We can nver be alike,
We are rides of same bike,
These scares are no less precious than my smile,
You are the most important part of this pile.
Your struggle is real ,
And worthy as well ,
I hold the heaven, coz you took the hell .

You don't need to be anymore prefect,
No need to stand beside another's sect.
All you need to do is hold on,
stay and led the strom. "

This time the darkness cried in pain ,
with a flicker , i was back ,
The sound of a forgotten laughter echoing in room,
Everything is gone or so i thought ,
The one in mirror still Clutching the gloom.

But the eyes were different,  
The smile was still missing ,
But life wasn't,  
The scares were there,
But no longer burned.

I finally opened the door,
The strom inside still roars.
I walked out,
But now embracing the gloom,
The sound of a forgotten laughter still echoing in room.

Here the she is present amd her is past

I want what i knew
What has past
Gone like the food that left a stain
Memory
My body wears every
Second, still
I forget
Not because i want to
Despite my desperation
My memories move
On my mind
Walks through the lives
Like seasons past
You still there?

I loiter
between
what was
and
what will be.
Overlooking
what is.
Now
The only time
is now

No future yet

All past gone

A spot in
eternity

forever.

Eelco van der Waals
As we live on this earth
day by day.

As we think about tomorrow
and experiencing that tomorrow the next day,
You realize yourself being in the future
at that very moment,
You realize you were thinking about the same day
that you’re in right now
that you were thinking about yesterday.

The present is the past
regardless of today
and as we think of the past,
as we are currently in the future.

Every day is the future
except the other days
that happened before today.

People who live in the present
will always have a hard time
trying to escape the past,
but if you think ahead into the future,
you will be unstoppable.
