Past Tense

by LaVerne N. Curtis


As I sit and watch my past slip into my present
I wonder at what point will I get the message
Love cannot be forced into existence
It must run natural like the Nile
Time and time again
Or maybe just for a while
The sweet sound knocks on my door
Asking for just one more
Chance
Another opportunity 
To romance my soul into oblivious ecstasy
And since time waits for nobody
You see
I feel it my duty
No, my obligation to entertain this sensation
Yet again
Get caught up in the whirlwind
While lending my mind and body
To the experience and the lesson
Dancing with the highs and lows of this sweet feeling
Thinking of yielding
Once again
Once again
Once again
'Cause my love has no end
While at the same time trying to make sense
Of my present and 
Past tense
