“AWAY FOR A WHILE” by BILL CHARLES ~~~~ Been away for a while, too long of a journey, trials and tribulations were many along the way, seen hell at times and then made my way back, was in too many modes of complete disarray… I reflect how quickly the years have disappeared, but not too talk more, enough of this and that, I came back tonight to post this poetry of mine, perhaps meet poets of before, and others to chat… My muse is of romance, love, and lost dreams, words I write for you to ponder is my affliction, some writings may touch you, yet others may not, read them if you will for I’d be very beholden… ~~~~ |
