The Future

My eyes can only see now Immersed together in their blindness Enveloped by the thin filament of time Standing between now and later The mysterious future remains elusive Concealed by the curtains of time Keeping future visibility to zero My eyes yearns for the future Aroused at the thought of tomorrow Inspired by the generous clock on the wall That plough through time with ease Erasing time in a matter of seconds Pushing the curtains of time away Ushering in the future The future that drops dead in the nick of time Giving way to the past In an endless TUG OF WAR My eyes searches for the future Within the crevices of time Layers and layers of seconds removed Like a needle in a haystack The future remains elusive Forever imprisoned by time In a solitary windowless cell Called the future
