Time Machine

Sleep is the quickest journey to the next day

Hot dub time machine

Sleep is like a time machine to the next day,

Though if I had a time machine, I’d say

I would go back to that day- where the late spring sunshine basked,

A memory of plans made, both unmasked

If I close my eyes I can still remember what you said

“Yeah, definitely” about the plans we made

I wish I had known it was the last time,

I guess it will have to remain in my dreams-the thin line

Between awake and asleep- My memories are fading,

I have almost forgotten the sound of your voice

Though, not quite- one day, for some reason, I made a choice

To MP3 one of your voicemail notes

I fear any message will just float…

About the Creator

Susannah Peareth-Kinston

I am a mother of two boys, a librarian and a poet.

I hope to make some poetry connections here and maybe even have it as a side hustle. I do it for the cathartic release I get from writing it.

I write about love, friendship and ADHD.
