Forever is never to come
we are cropped from photo images
placed and displaced into future moments
after the now evaporates
bubbles out from an era's effervescence
fleeting, a faint memory trace

the moment I get ridicluous notions  
garbled or expressed intelligently
to say something lasts for all time!
that I am of already wrinkled flesh
sinuous thoughts lost in the vapours of space
forever is never
there is naught to be permanent
on this asteroid's horizon
I'll become only a faint recollection
a product of social construct
aside the plentiful inventions
shameless decoys displayed

but I was never here
that I grew and lived at one address
that civic number morphed into another
that I packed and unpacked my belongings
leaving dribs and drabs along the way
as though to say it will all last
but photos curl and yellow
digital images will find their finite ends
forever is never
there is no light without dimness
and never always lurks in the shadows.

one thing's sure, never worry about the rhyme..although forced meter is one of the silliest things to write, it is I think part of the learning process...
just play with words; if common sense rules than you can't veer too far from losing sense.
