Topic: Lifepoems



Once you leave you can’t go back;
Nothing stops while you unpack;
Time’s a thief and years will leap
Across the pages while you sleep!

The whys will change with every when;
Nothing’s as it was again!
Short gets tall; naïve turns smart!
Memories outgrow the heart.

Saplings ripen all about us;
Fledgling love goes on without us.
Life's a book whose pages burn;
With every single page we turn.

We can hurry to the end;
but not alas, turn back again.

This is wonderful. It flows so lightly, yet your words pack much punch. Well done.

I somehow completely missed this wonderful little poem.

There is definitely no turning back...so true. Coulda shoulda wouldas!!!

"Naive turns smart"...and sometimes, sadly, can even sour a person.
