Love Grows Love Goes (A Poem about Memory)

- October 04, 2017

Sliding through my packs of pictures

Those covered with the dust of time

My mind went tumbling back over the years

The floodgates of memories unleashed

Some

We laughed and danced

Some

We disguise our malice in dignified distance

Some

I love but hates none

The tempest of life had swept us far apart

We may never meet again

So sadness really don't last

The tears of betrayal are dry already

The hurts are gone

The pains are forgotten

Methinks tragedies too shape us

Making us stronger, at least wiser

Love ∆ grows

Love goes

Love thrives

Love strives

Love heals

Love~kills

Let's just love while we can

Never shy to say it when we care

Friends may part and never meet

None of us will read the testimony on his tombstone

It is that moment of true affection

That truly matters in the treasure room of memory
