Away and Back

Away and back, back and away, though at my home I'd like to stay, but duty calls I have not time to rest a while and dwell on rhyme. My heart is screaming to retire and do just things that light my fire. But duty always wins the day and leaves no time for me to play. It fills me with a raging hurt that makes me with a passion flirt to change the things that I see wrong so everyone can get along. Is it that a solitary flame is needed to progress the game. Can one alone change destiny and take a path that sets some free? Back and away, away and back I'd love to stay ….but time I lack. Ivor G Davies

This is the first time that I am at your site. It seems that you like Rhyme... me too... To me there should be a difference between writing and poetry. I like your style
