Not Today
A future poem
Not Today
By Eve Zennarrow
I’ll write a poem
for you
one day.
A sunny day
when I’m full-on
content
and I’ve got nothing
to do.
I’ll take the pen
and lead it on
to trace my thoughts
smooth and precise,
like I’ve been thinking
of writing about you
for a very, very long time.
It just never seemed
quite the right time,
until now.
I mean then.
Until then
when I start writing
about you.
Which is not now.
This is not it.
This?
Just a draft.
Not even that.
It’s just me playing
with an idea
of you being
in my poem.
Someday…
Don’t know when.
Nevertheless,
it’s bound to happen.
You might not
even notice, but
I’ll lock you in
in my little words,
immortalize your name,
biometrics,
and this feeling
which is not there yet.



Haha this is awesome!
I love this so much
