Yesterday

A Poem by Jack...
"

Standing right in front of me

"

Yesterday

 

Cast along a dotted line

of yesterdays and practiced rhyme

These dreams before of what was told

deliveries my heart does hold

 

A poet’s thoughts of times gone by

in empty scenes and tear stained eyes

Where broken hearts have come to play

my words they speak of yesterday

 

                   ~~**~~

            

Yet here I stand on corners plead

as verses plant the morning seed

These shadows lingering behind

now disappear in what I find

 

For beauty in my eyes I see

as love it walks the path to me

And since your love has come my way

I’ve no more need for yesterday

"For beauty in my eyes I see
as love it walks the path to me
And since your love has come my way
I’ve no more need for yesterday"

Thank you so much Rose. I always enjoy seeing your smile.
Leaving the past behind, happily stepping into the future... :) A bright sentiment to start my day!
Your second stanza is very telling - we write so often of past heartache. It is a wise and uplifting practice to turn our pens to the future sometimes... Wonderful, Jack!
