Bill this was so beautiful. I hope you show this to the one you are missing. It will warm her heart, I am sure. What a good man.

I shall lay in the dark
Lonely and alone
The beat of my heart
Pounding out a love song for you
Pounding out the longing I have for you

Oh how I know this feeling so well. I often feel the same way. I am wondering if maybe somehow through cyber world you read my emotions.

You are such a talented lad and I enjoy reading your poems. Please keep them comming my way.

I hope that this is the end of a depressing season for you babe. I know that you have a heart of gold and some where you will find that perfect love to give your heart too. Stay strong and enjoy the beauty of all things around you.

I shall lay in the dark
Lonely and alone
The beat of my heart
Pounding out a love song for you

Mercy that hits the heart !
Spending time apart from my loved ones gives me that little pounding in my heart that feels lonesome so I can totally relate to this piece my dear friend.
Take care and sweet dreams

I shall lay in the dark

Take Care Love your friend Cindy

This was so sad and I know how hard it is to be away from people that we care so deeply about. Great poem.

Really nice and sweet poem:D

This is heartbreaking, Bill. It aches me to read such sad poetry from you. Darien had wrote earlier how much he missed your "parties" and I must say that I miss them too. Hope all is well...

"The phone is not the same
