Poetry Window….

HELLO, POETRY LOVERS EVERYWHERE,

THE POETRY WINDOW HAS RE-EMERGED, AND THROUGH THE GLASS I CAN SEE A WONDERFUL POEM BY PHIL WILLIAMS. PHIL HAS COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF A PRIVATE HELL, AND HERE HE IS WRITING POETRY LIKE A DREAM! KEEP WRITING, PHIL! NOW A REGULAR AT POETRY AT THE ADELAIDE, WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MORE….

HAS YOUR BEST FRIEND EVER TRIED TO KILL YOU?

"WE BECAME BEST FRIENDS WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN. 
YOU GAVE ME SUCH COURAGE AND STRENGTH THE LIKE I HAD NEVER SEEN.

WHEN I LED THE SCHOOL TEAM TO VICTORY. 
YOU AND I PARTIED ALL NIGHT.  IT WAS A JOYOUS SIGHT. 

WHEN I GOT THE GIRL.
I GAVE YOU AN EXTRA TWIRL.

WHEN I GOT THE TOP UNIVERSITY PLACE. 
IT WAS ONLY YOU THAT PUT THE SMILE ON MY FACE.

WHEN I GOT THE WIFE, THE HOUSE AND THE CAR. 
YOU NEVER WENT VERY FAR. 

WHEN YOU HAD ME ON MY KNEES.
YOU TOOK AWAY ALL MY MONEY AND MY KEYS. 

WHEN YOU HAD ME CLOSE TO DEATH. 
EVERYONE COULD SMELL YOU ON MY BREATH.  

I LOVED YOU ONCE. 
AS I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME.  

YOU TRIED TO KILL ME. 
BUT TODAY, WITH GOD'S GRACE, I AM FREE."

Phil Williams 


FABULOUS, PHIL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
 LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE SOON.  
BACK SOON TAKE CARE
