I love time travel. I would do anything, absolutely anything, to go back in time. Just go back in time. I don’t want to see the future; I don’t want any of the silly present world ignominy. I just want to witness my past and change it.
Change one thing, Change everything.
The silence was deafening and there was stillness.
The stillness of a man in the midst of the dance of his commotions.
I was that man. My decisive moment was set to arrive.
I was to choose from eternal ecstasy or momentary bliss.
In the course of the tranquillity and the symmetry,
I could see through instances and aeons.
But I needed not the future but the past,
I wished to view the times gone by than the unknown.
Reliving the moments that had passed,
Feeling what I felt before and more,
Wishing to change times of yore,
Making sure all is better than before.
Through the yearn of broken hearts,
Through the pursuit for happier times,
I waded through water deep and dark
For times that would never part.
To drink from the fountain of eternal life,
Had been my plan from the start,
But now at the end of the quest,
I needed not immortality but a rest.
At Eternity’s Gate I wished not life,
I craved for death and all his friends,
But before I was laid to rest,
I yearned for a moment from the past.
A moment that would withstand time,
A moment that would wipe out my longing,
A moment where everything is the way I wanted,
Everybody merry and not a soul depressed.
I can have no more of the past,
But infinite amounts of the future.
But I beg for a second’s worth of history
I’ll trade it for my head on a silver plate.
The silence was deafening and there was stillness.
The stillness of a man in the midst of the dance of his distractions.
I am that man. My decisive moment had arrived for me.
I had chosen death over immortality.
P.S. - A silly little poem as I post the first of my articles related to time travel.

Time travel is a truly interesting topic, i suppose many of us wish that we could go back in time and change some things. 'Everybody merry and not a soul depressed', what a wonderful line that is.
