“CLOSET OF DREAMS”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Doors I open in the hallway,
searching inside each to find…
Not knowing what I’d see,
possibly a nightmare, in my mind…

Never did you want to know,
tomorrow was my dream…
All the years which are gone,
tragic to me, it would seem…

A dream to die, a dream to kill,
never understood what you did…
Slowly suppressing these passions,
deeply I buried, and they hid…

So I look into each door,
you’ll never know the cost…
Perhaps in the closet of dreams,
I’ll find again, what I’ve lost…

Great poem, Bill.  Whatever you've lost, there will be a replacement.

*sigh* well I hope you find it, Bill...I could feel such loneliness here and it brought tears to my eyes...I know this closet you speak of ...it is where I keep all my dreams...somehow I don't think they will become reality..but I do so like to dream them. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Bill darling boy firstly this is an absolutely fabulous piece of writing, one of your many layered ones.

Secondly the closet is full of dreams darling boy just have a rummage around and you never know what delight will be revealed.

Utterly utterly wonderful writing, I'm loving the discovery of YOU, keep them coming darling boy. There's never ENOUGH beauty in the world, and you add to it daily.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Bill, this is so very sad, I too use the closet as a metaphor much to my memories of the past, and even in the present, and I want the love of my life so badly, I feel sad just thinking if I can never have her and she will always be lost in the closet of my heart. (sad sigh) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, I know deep down with all my heart you will find the greatest happiness always and you'll find all your heart desires, for you deserve the greatest happiness! (big hugggsssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sometimes, we lose something so important to us...the loss of a true love and we always search for it. Bill, this is truly a special poem and it really hit home with me.
