Not As Yesterday Poem by KarlRomeo PierreLouis

And from the awful longing
I finally found regret to be the warmest companion
Compared to the fleeting daydreams
Of adolescence and misleading peace
Told and released through bedtime stories
And forgotten beneath the romantic noise
Of pretend poets and wind dried lotus seeds
Planted and watered faithfully
In burrowed pots and cups
There, in the forgiveness of the hour
As strengths and colors begin to fade
A sudden memory creeps slowly in the background
Sparkling faintly a warmth that cools the breath
Trembling to escape every pore
I love you no more…

Not as Yesterday
