Here Everywhere – a poem depicting how if we let our minds live in the past for too long, we could lose what we have at the present

I know where I need to be,

I take cues from the love I see.

Lost in pain of thoughts losing you,

Like the edge of a razer it cut right through.

The blade so sharp that it felt soft,

I couldn’t realise what I had lost.

A limb that had fallen to the ground,

And I did not see it until I heard that thudding sound.

I wanted to be with you, but I was not there,

I still am not, so at space I stare.

My hands now have voices of their own,

Sometimes in this world I feel alone.

I see the world as if it was memory,

Why do we hurt and what sets us free?

Subconscious thought taught me to rhyme,

A past love guiding me from before time.

I can’t be sure if I am always late,

Does the almighty stand me to defend heavens gate?

Though I have not much to complain for now,

Life’s burden still bends me to a bow.

I don’t know much as such,

Except sometimes we are down on our luck.

And the thought of losing another love,

Tears me up, it tears me up.
