“HAUNTING VISIONS”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Night falls, darkness enters,
searching thoughts abound…
Shadows misty, all within,
to see, but confound…

Love wanting, seeking,
wherever, ceaselessly…
Not knowing where, or when,
perhaps tonight, if any…

Lost within, if one can,
cloudy images of you…
Only a touch, an embrace,
enticing hearts, anew…

One touch, one kiss,
forever to know…
Haunting visions, deeply,
none of long ago…

Haunting Visions, so truly beautiful.  Sometimes the visions, they linger yes?  wonderful words you give us tonight Bill.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Bill, as always, your poetry is very nice, with a hint of sadness and longing. Leaves the reader hoping all will be well for you. Keep smilin' - Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

*sigh* such visions as these are not new to me...I could feel your words they say so well the shadow of such haunting visions. I hope your vision becomes clearer and is filled with all the love you desire. **big hugs**

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

Bill darling boy I suppose you think that I’m going to praise you to the skies? Hmmm? …….. Well, of course I am, this is utterly utterly wonderful as YOU very well know.

This is really fabulous writing sometimes when you don’t expect it showers of moonbeams descend on you. They dropped like little twinkles of delight when I read this. Oh my eyes they are refreshed and my soul is washed in joy this is sooooooooo beautiful.

Absolutely first class writing



Love and warm stuff
As always
