Where Am I Poem by Jay P Narain

Am I living in the past?
Remembering the sweet moments of our life,
Dreaming only of romance and closeness of our hearts,
Ignoring the differences and bitterness which kept us momentarily apart.

Am I living in a dream world?
A world where affection reigns supreme,
A place where no one argues or complains,
A paradise of love, smile and sweet accord.

Am I living in the present?
The many hurdles in everyday life is hard to imagine,
Where a mole argument can become an obstacle mountain high,
Where the realities overshadow my daydreams and strangle my emotions tight.

Where am I?
Living in the present wishing for the bittersweet past,
Wishing a compassionate present in a fantasy dream world,
Living days of my life and hoping for the best.
