THE NOW AND THE FOREVER

Sometimes a whisper sometimes a storm

is that how a yearning is born ?

That moment , that tipping point

in the twilight of yesterday

when the world is devoid of shadows

and the bellows of the universe

forge a present without fuss

A story that you have read

stuck in deep rooted banter

Stories of amusement and laughter

and pages of disarming mystery

Pulls like unexplained gravitation

A vortex of hallucination

like never experienced before

Sometimes a voice sometimes a scream

haunting your waking and your dreams

A smouldering volcano

trapped within a smile

that transforms eagerness

 at just the right moment

when the now meets forever

We can never go back, for time moves

in only one direction, forwards

and the palpable absence 

waters the thirst , the ennui

trapping you in a clutch

a vice grip of chanced discovery

drawn out of every breath

Simmering quiet tickles the air

urging a chance to unleash all within

 the evolution without baggage

in the absence of alter persona

but all that escapes is a silent sigh

a wistful glaze in a faraway gaze
 where the now meets the forever
