Memory Lane
Sometimes I write poems. They are O.K.
Trying to recollect the steps down memory lane,
wondering if my futile attempts are in vain.
One would think,
without ink.
The past would remain,
to drive one insane.
Was it this way or that?
Changing by the tip of a hat.
Within a moment of time,
one would look at a line.
Forever lost,
within a rhyme.
#SimpleThings
“I know what the important things are in life. I know that just because I pretend to be someone else for two hours on the silver screen doesn’t make me a better person than the next man. So, I mind all those things. Simple things.” – Colin Farrell
