Long Charles dickens Poems

His heart ached as he looked at her
Her eyes had no sparkle
She walked ignorant of the fact

In Dickensian time 
Upon sunset hour
Overshadowing Thames
Is London Tower
Blackened cobble streets
Shimmer in the rain
Big Ben at Westminster
Chimes an eight bells refrain

At Euston Station
A passenger alights

And enters the caff
for a nice cup of tea

Through thick lenses glasses of the whiskey bottle

Another February had arrived,
with dirty snow and heavy, slate-grey skies.
