memories only live

Sad but marvelous
memories remain immortal
we love
we lust
all else we do
we must
but memories
only last

all else does rust

And we become prisoners of our memories - especially the bad unresolved ones. We live and relive them as though nothing has changed. This piece touhed something very deep within.

Cheers ... Leonard

This is one of your best works that I have read in a while! Short and sweet! No convoluted meanings and perfectly understandable. Marvelous! ~ Gee

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
