Dave Pawson: Poetry: Memory Lane is a Lonely Place

Poetry of David Pawson


Memory Lane is a Lonely Place
by David Pawson
© 2000


     Down the way from Lovers Lane
     you'll find a lonely street,
     where no one lives, yet many dwell
     feeling incomplete.
     A place of shadows, shades and ghosts,
     of illusions, hopes, and sorrow;
     a dead-end street, a cul-de-sac,
     with no chance of tomorrow.
     Dreamhomes stand abandoned there,
     their mortgages foreclosed,
     a cemetery standing where
     the future was proposed.
     This place is haunted by the souls
     of those who come and tarry,
     unable to forget lost love
     or douse the torch they carry.
     And though the people come and go,
     there's no one there to meet:
     Memory Lane is a lonely place,
     a solitary street.
