Goodbye Yesterday
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

WELCOME HELEN ~ Thanks for your first Poem. Love the structure Rhyming Couplets ~ my fave ! It is very personal & confessional and I trust cathartic. Love the song and I guess it fits a HABIT as it would a FRIEND ! I\'m 35 so I know we can be gripped by habits which can dominate us. I try to steer clear of things to which I could become addicted and I\'m engaged now (To Angela) so there are constraints ! Our 20\'s & 30\'s are difficult years especially (in my case) if one is single ! All addictions are expensive (as you indicate) and they demand our Soul as well. I work in a Vocational College and I am a Student Counsellor so I have to set a good example and keep clean. You have to rediscover your Inner Person and let her rule you and bring you PEACE ~ Thinking of you ~ Yours BRIAN ~ Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B. Love your last doublet:
So gently I\'ll lay you down ~
right here on the shore
Let the waves take you away .........
I need you no more !
The VICTORY is yours HELEN ~ YES !
