Dear Bill
betterdays Apr 2016
Just a note
to say, thanks
for the many years
of enjoyment

when I first met you
I will admit I found
you a dry and boring
old stick

It took a while to get the knack,
to be enamoured with your style

but once converted, I was, a fan
and read you by midsummers night
in and out love, through tempests
and battlefields, with friends, foes
and witches,
on balconies, in shoreditches.
upon islands where all seemed familar
but in such a confusing way.

Through battles and histories
fact and fanciful.
I walked withyou and  
your word play
at my heels like a dog...

sometimes with clarity
and sometimes befogged.

Your words dear friend
have so often been apt...

Tho I sometimes wonder
if you knew the effect
your scrawl would have
as you sat and wrote
making it up as you went along,
I wonder if you thought your
words  were whisperings in a wind
there....and then gone.

And now you are famous,
world reknowned.
A bard no less
with the Globe at your feet

Yet to me you are a friend,
your words comfort, and inspiration
in a world unstable...

So again I say,
Thanks for the plays
the sonnets and things

it made a difference
more than you know

but just to let you know...
I still haven't got the knack
of writing in iambic flow....

Take away the lyrics of a song.
And the music alone will move your mood along.
Take away the spirit of a hug.
And the lingering though would still be felt.
It's the thought that count.

Let the moment just draw you into it.
And watch the joy of the moment control your mind.

Take away the kiss of a lover.
And watch what you'll soon discover.
That the lips that touched your face.
Really do withyou have a place.

Take away many things.
You'll find love can't easily be replaced.
Because it will be like a ghost.
Just haunting you as you move on.
