“Perhaps Another Time”

By Mac

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If only another time or maybe another place what a difference a few hours can make even more so than the place frozen in distant memory preserved in a lacquered state not so with damnable time fleeting fickle moments drowning in an endless ocean leaving us gasping for air Another time we think when all could be different at least in fevered imagination the wrinkles of forlorn thought brushed back through thinning hair Another time echoing  endless across the void a time of vibrant youth spent in illusion Lost forever and forever more Perhaps another time Written October 5th, 2001 © on Oct 05 2001 07:39 AM PST, RD McManes   0 • 1
