Here's Your Future

It is how it is,

How it should be.

There is no should in the present.

There is no is in the past.

A future too bright to see

A life too long to last

Make it make sense to the naysayers.

Tell me a story you saw firsthand.

I shy away from public prayers.

Never met myself in a man.

There is only right now and forever

And back then, I guess, as well.

They are all the same thing-

Bright unending spring.

Now I know the last leaf never fell.

Nonsense piled up upon nonsense,

Magic piled up upon lies,

Lies don’t exist.

Future in my fists.

Magic pours into my eyes.

Reliving the past in the present.

Deja vu at the front of my mind.

I’m letting go of forever,

Getting lost to go find what I find.

You’re even drunk in my dreams now.

[shmegeggy]

Have you ever thought about kissing the bags under a strangers eyes?

I think about it all the time.

Sweet heart, you look so tired.

[shmegeggy]

All I can remember-

A voice telling me,

“We must take our time

with things

that are built

In love.”
