Yesterday

Splash the walls with the colors of yesterday--
But love the color of tomorrow.

My name was yesterday.
They called me the past, but
I was the future. Or maybe I was                     but never going anywhere. Cling
Somewhere in between the two                       On, I am a memory, a        :
Like the horizon, that thin blue string              Possibility too.                 :
Of bravado, that seems so far yet so tiny.         I'll never leave you.         :
You left me, but I never let your hand go,            :
Those rose-blush fingertips clinging to empty    p              and   around :
Shells of time, climbing at an amble, slowly       u

Beautifully descriptive, I love it! I'm curious though, why the strange punctuation?

Thank you.

I decided to experiment with the shape of the poem this time around, instead of just the words.

in the wake of light, your words bring me more(please, do leave your fingerprints behind, so I may relish the image of our hands after you go.)
