I think what you are saying is that mature love is so very different, we have to put aside the feelings we had in youthful love, but we can take the anticipation with us. I think no matter how old we get, we can look forward to new love.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I adored the words here and I understood them perfectly, you reached into my soul here Bill, we may visit the past, but the present takes precedence, and the past is sometimes best left there as just a memory, love Dolly x

This is an excellent poem, Bill. Touching, interesting, well composed. I particularly enjoyed the middle stanza. We can visit, but we cannot stay. Wow! Best of luck in the contest. A sixer if I had one to give. Marilyn

Comment from judiverse
So true, we can go home again, but we can't stay. I haven't visited the farm where I grew up, but it would stir all sorts of memories if I did. Even though it wasn't fancy, it still leaves feelings of warmth and comfort. We have to move on, however, to make new memories. Beautifully worded, and the free verse flows smoothly. Best of luck in the contest. judi

Comment from nomi338
Visiting the old homestead can accomplish many things, it can exorcise past memories, whether they be good or horrific; they can make us cry over the things we have lost. It is a good thing to visit the past, but as you pointed out, you must not linger there. This poem is very unlike most of your posts, but I like it very much, it shows a side of you rarely seen, 'Ya old softy.' LOL.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This lovely, well-written poem is nostalgia at its best. I love to revisit the first homeplace I remember. The house is gone, but I can still see it. Revisiting old loves, old relationships, is more painful.

Comment from Loren .
Love, so allusive as this poem depicts and yet leaving us with so many haunting, real and imagined memories. If love were as we would pen would it be so real as to have it believed only imagined? I wish you all the best in this contest. Loren

You really have a knack for expressing a deep and sensitive feeling, Bill. All the comical scripts you've written does not indicate your gift to touch the heart through poetry. Great stuff.

Comment from lyenochka
Wow! Really beautiful poem, Bill! It gives me a feeling of yearning and a kind of sad wishing for a past innocent love but as the narrator says, "we cannot stay."
Great cadence in your free verse and use of consonance throughout.
