Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Down Memory Lane

~ Down Memory Lane ~


My heart took a stroll
   down Memory Lane
Primed for pleasure
   it found only pain  

Broken hearts strewn
   'cross the highway
Words that slipped out
   for them dearly paid

Faces grown old
   once again young
The bloom of youth withered
   in serpentine tongues

As my journey of Hope
   drew to an end 
I waved fond goodbye 
   to these cherished friends

Chris Green October 17, 2019 at 7:58 AM It's sad when that happens, sometimes it's better the things we don't know. Nicely done my friend. Gershon Wolf October 17, 2019 at 10:27 AM Yes, the things we don't and didn't know are surely best left buried... Digging in graveyards almost never comes out well. Warmest wishes, Chris. ~ Gershon

Tom Cunningham October 17, 2019 at 12:33 AM Well written Gershon, I sometimes find its best to leave the past where it is, in the past. Tom Gershon Wolf October 17, 2019 at 10:26 AM You know, your comment is spot-on, Tom. The past truly belongs to the past. Everything is best when its fresh. Only occasionally can a revisit match the original or inspire in any way... :) gw
