My Three Lovers
by an unknown author

I cannot remember Yesterday,
He went away.
I asked him what the trouble was,
He would not say;
Just looked at me with a cool kind of conviction,
Wishing things were different,
As he slowly walked away.

Oh! How today bores me!
I can read his mind!
Certainly don't have yesterday's
Charm.
He told me straightforwardly
Oh! He loved me so!
But I told him that it was
Time to go.

Now, Future has a sacred face,
He sneaks and sneaks around.
When I wish to never see his trace,
He lingers for a mile.
He whispers sad tales of mediocrity,
But sometimes makes me dream.

Oh! Where are you Yesterday?
I'm holding out for you.
There's nothing I want more than
You, Yesterday.
All I want is you

On The Concept Of Time
by an unknown author

I don't know if time passes or not,
Or if it all comes together with spontaneity.
And though we think we are living-
Sequential lives,
It could just be our minds.
And I wonder if I met you,
Before or after I was born;
Or if I missed you when I was younger,
The cause for emptiness and pain.
Or if the reasons that I used to cry
Were all dedicated to this moment,
Where you break me.
Because I'm sure it takes a
Lifetime to get over this pain.
I'm sure by 75, I won't be over it.
Or maybe I already died,
Heartbroken and ashamed
And just don't know it.
I wonder if we are eternal
And our time never ends,
When we die, we rise up
And we do it again.

Identity
by an unknown author


I wonder if the trees can hear me
When I scream aloud,
Or if the dandelion screams,
When I pick him out.
There's no telling where life can take us;
One day I'm a blade of grass,
But today I am myself-
Nobody else.
Life chooses for me to be me.
