Memory Lane

Memory Lane

In a small space,
somewhere inside my head,
obscured from sight
by tangled limbs of thought
and brambles of unfulfilled
dreams, there is a hazy,
lazy lane where memories
of an almost forgotten
past dwell. Sometimes an image,
a touch or taste on my tongue
will take me there.
But I don't linger long.
I prefer the clear path before me.

This is lyrical, lovely. I totally get the nostalgia. I would drop the last line; I think that part has already been expressed, shown in the penultimate line.

Agreed, the final line is not only redundant, it dissipates the nuance of what precedes.  Nice insights.
