Dwell
Linger; and stay
As secondhands rush forth, away
Towards dusk, and dust
Stop for awhile, rust
In senses surrounding
Joy rebounding, resounding
Catch your breath, your memories
Fix them in precious ambergris
Scents
And moments
Remenents of past
Do not last
In return, rememberance
Vain nostalgia leaps the fence
In looking back, we are seized
With listless longing, on our knees
Fearless in melancholy
In our fated futures, only folly
To sit and reminisce
Of our former bliss
Or past pastiche
Thoughts on a leash
Lest lost in them we find
Paths back, scattered in rewind
As secondhands rush forth, away
Towards dusk, and dust
Stop for awhile, rust
In senses surrounding
Joy rebounding, resounding
Catch your breath, your memories
Fix them in precious ambergris
Scents
And moments
Remenents of past
Do not last
In return, rememberance
Vain nostalgia leaps the fence
In looking back, we are seized
With listless longing, on our knees
Fearless in melancholy
In our fated futures, only folly
To sit and reminisce
Of our former bliss
Or past pastiche
Thoughts on a leash
Lest lost in them we find
Paths back, scattered in rewind
