    "Memories, forever laid in Yesterday's bosom,
    Why? Only there, can it blossom:
    Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday -
    The gravestone in which it decays,"
    WOW.. This stanza's really captivating. I love the metaphors and imagery these lines create.

    "Dreams - buried as memories that never lived,
    But what sweet scents and sights it gives!
    But yet, it burns in the sun, and disappear,
    Just when you thought it was so near,"
    This is my favorite stanza. I love dreams, I dream almost everytime I sleep :)

    "And the memories which did live and sigh?
    They too, will one day vanish and die.
    But why do I complain?
    When Fortune have dressed me in robes of riches
    And sheltered me from pain."
    Love the ending. So powerful. The rhymes flowed really well for me.

    This poem really speaks for itself. I love each end every part of it. Keep writing, this is amazing. Hope to see more of this :) 5/5
