Can I See You Yesterday

CAN I SEE YOU YESTERDAY

 

Can I see you yesterday? 

Kisses fall like the painter’s snowflakes

On oil laced canvases of gray

On brilliant blue.

Can I see you a week ago?

Lips on lips and breath on breath,

Sunlight picks up the autumn glow

On satin skin.

Can I see you a month ago?

Caresses trace summer

Light on cheeks.

Can I see you a year gone past?

Can I see you in the decades before?

The quarter centuries and the golden annuals?

The diamond jubilee, I want with you to see,

If you would just agree?

Brown eyes to brown eyes,

Time on time,

Tell me your mine.

Give me the answer 

To the question asked.

When would you like to see me again? 

Yesterday is not soon

Enough.
