Love Poem: Tug-Of-War

Tug-Of-War

yesterday tethered to tomorrow
caught in a tug-of-war 'tween the two
going back holds nothing but sorrow
my future now a rosier hue

stuck in mud caused by the storm
the past corroded from rain
anticipating your next jump
love factored with the pain

the sun shines now from behind dark clouds
the rainbow that arcs 'cross blue
riding in on a silver horse
a hero to bring me through

dreams of the past may bring it back
quickly they fade with dawn
'til yesterdays face is just a blur
in the morning when I stretch and yawn
