Labyrinth of secrets

Poem inspired after spending time with some elderly people in Sweden in this apartment block. Many secrets and memories to be shared

 

Externally so normal

Inside a hall of fame

Forgotten heroes that lit the world

Once masters of the game

 

The dancehalls were their playground

A party’s life and soul

Heroes of the Polaroid

When they were in control

 

Yet time it has no master

Society will change

The divas of the dance floor

Soon become the strange

 

For all those golden moments

When legends of the night

Now isolated strangers

No longer in full flight

 

Next time you see their faces

Don’t just pity the old

Every lifeline on their faces

Is a story to be told

 

For now we are the masters

Yet the future comes to soon

Our golden moments in candlelight

Soon glisten in the moon

Beautifully designed, written poem. I see a few hidden images and stories behind the words. At 56, I also recognize many of the lyrics of the poem. In short, I am considering making this one of my top favorite poems. Well done especially your divas of the dance floor... soon become the strange. Inspired. Best wishes ShyPoet1
