Lover's Lane Poem by Barry Middleton
Lover's Lane
There must still be a lover's lane,
safely shaded in the hills,
where lovers go to hide the pain
the careless universe instills.
I can recall like yesterday.
the one who held my heart so dear
with all our plans as fresh as May,
and not a single Earthly fear.
A tree lined road, a dizzy height,
that ended in a view below,
revealed the shining city lights,
with all our cares in afterglow.
Now newer lovers come this way
to pause and pledge their love will last,
and ghosts of love, they often say,
sing mournful songs of lovers past.
There must still be a lover's lane Safely shaded in the hills, where lovers go to hide the pain the careless universe instills. Superb imagery and beautiful diction. Thanks for sharing.10 points.

This reminded me of my last home, where the children grew up. At the bottom of my garden was a lane called 'Lovers Lane.' It was also known as 'Tinkers Alley.' There were trees on either side of a stream and you would get all the courting couples along there in the evenings and during the day, my children would play there, so I always knew where they were. Thanks for the memory Barry.
Thank you for the thank you.
