Living In Memory. Poem by Fay Slimm

Living In Memory.

Rating: 5.0


The air is thick with remembered pleasures.
Is alive with memory's trained sightings.
Where tho' is the lovelight we both treasured?
Hiding in unforgiveness, ...... and blighted.

We had the present as future.... Now passed
Over as unwanted gain, it painfully
Reminds the hot tears not to fall any faster.
Love only lives now down memory lane.

A very sad poem, Fay. You've certainly captured the feeling of regret. 'We had the present as future...now passed' is a great line! S :)

It's always sad when love ends, but at least there is memory lane to revert back to in fondness, 10 Lynda xx

A very poignant piece about lost love Fay, but at least the memories of happy bygone loving days still stay alive
