The Day Before and The Day After
Smile
My mouth curves,
reflexively
nerves dancing of their own accord
and the place I go
is where you belong to me
a journey to where
I possess all of you
no impediments we find
no pain caused by our exisitence
Find me there
where thoughts of you
chasing the ghosts that you call by name
fill my spaces
And I smile
Out of Step
Measures of everyday
stretch out like hollow sounds,
across hours
Dissonance of heart
like a wrong note played
in a similar orchestra
melodies play
attempting time and meter
no longer rich,
familiar tune,
no longer bright
a metronome one beat off
every third chord.
