“CLOSER TONIGHT” by Bill Charles ~~~~ Night shadows dim against the sky, many thoughts of you, in my mind… To cherish, to hold, to want, not knowing, or having a clue… Fantasies in which I pretend, dreams I have, when I sleep… Embracing tightly, as we touch, loving you, into the deep… Seeing you, a shadow of thought, misty, cloudy, in my light… You will not remember any other, when I hold you, closer tonight… ~~~~ |

Seeing you, a shadow of thought, misty, cloudy, in my light… You will not remember any other, when I hold you, closer tonight… Bill, Wow, a lovely combination of words and thoughts. Enjoyed thoroughly. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

From one Romeo to another, you speak the words well here. Flowing and heartfelt. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
