“OUT OF THE ASHES”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Fires burned, as I crumbled,
missing you, this heart…
I’m here you’re there,
disheartening, far apart…

Phone calls not where it’s at,
your voice touches me deep…
Remembering moments of you,
my eyes I wipe, for they weep…

Once my spirit was broken,
to be hidden, in crevices…
You came along, carried me,
carried me out of the ashes…

Days I will wait with thoughts,
until we’re together once more…
Even if we’re not, memories,
I’ll always love you, as before…

(big hugggssssss) Oh Bill, this is so very sad, this one made e cry reading it! (sad sigh) I hope everything is alright and this feeling no longer applies to you, but if it does, know you are loved by many and I pray with all my heart your love returns or you find a new love that makes you happy! (wipes tears) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is so sad but lovely! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Bill~

The power of emotion, lets your heart write....write on...

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

Bill darling boy, do you have to really write this well darling boy? Hmmm? This is deliberate provocation isn’t it? You’ll just have to stop writing so well it’s too wonderful.

Bill...Beautifully written; but full of the pain of loss.  We never forget the love we knew; it's always a part of us.  ***Ivy Rose

It's hard when we miss a person that much.
We've our memories of course but even they
don't always take us back to the same place.
Nice writing BC~

Bill,
if I could stop the aching of remember for you I would, instead *huggles* and if you continue to write the night like this I may have to kiss you.
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
