      I read a heart felt poem he left as his last. He said he was going to get smashed for a few months, so something dramatic is going on for sure in his life or did HP cut him?

         I'm sure he did nothing to violate TOS.. sad to see someone so talented take his hubs down.  
         I wish I could have read his poem.

         There certainly must be something dramatic going on to take all his hubs out of circulation. I wish he had at least left his last poem.

            I read his last poem but I just went back to see if I could copy and paste and place here, but it's gone to. WOW..is all I can say, I loved his poetry. Sure it was raunchy and dark at times, buy hey he has a poet's heart :0(

      The last post made on that two months old thread is 3 weeks old. I don't see a reason why would someone leave HP for a death in family, especially when after that he has recovered.

         I agree, he also just a few days accepted me and Wayne Brown and 50 Calibre as freinds on Facebook and today I see he is no longer on Facebook either or at least he has removed himself from being a friend. I sent an email off to Wayne as they were both bantering funny poems back and forth to each other this past week.

      That was the tragic loss of his sister a few weeks ago. He came back after that and wrote lots of hubs, I don't think this is the reason he's gone. After reading his last poem, it was very upsetting and he was swearing a lot in it and saying like they did him in and wished all us hubbers the best and he was going to go get blasted for a few months, so something else has upset him for sure.

   That thread was from two months ago when his sister passed away. I e-mailed him he will always be my bud. I will let you know when I hear from him, but it is truly not like Charlie to completely disappear unless something deeper is transpiring.

    I just noticed Ralwus gone as I was preparing to add him to my list of favourite HubPages poets. I hope everything's alright and that eventually, when he's worked out his issues, he comes back. Terrible thing about the internet is you care about the people you meet as you care about anyone else, yet they can just vanish on you like they can't in 'real life'.

    I just checked his profile page, too.  The wonderful madman has done this before, he chooses to take down his previous stuff and reinvent himself.  Now his avatar is a sea creature and he has 3 published hubs.  I am still listed as a fan.
    I'm pretty sure he's okay and definitely still here.

    i'm so sorry
    
    some people seem to search for sorrow,
    i have had it thrust upon me.
    some are vengeful with it,
    i simply have accepted it as a way.
    
    don't people realize there is
    so little time?
    and for them to mutilate it
    all their life
    like that . . .
    there is never a way to
    recover all
    that time
    wasted.
    
    i am just so tired of pain,
    real pain that feels like
    my spleen will explode;
    like my back is
    is being pounded
    by black demons
    with hot irons
    a rotted heart
    that pinches the throat,
    that alien on my
    back called
    NHL;
    the shaking of my bone,
    the tremor in my
    soul as i try to
    feel my way in darkness;
    the shortness of
    breath that darkens my eye.
    
    now do you understand
    my friends?
    would you be angry
    with me now?
    may i have your blessings to
    leave?
    i will leave you my pomes.
    leave me my peace.

    The poems sound far darker than simply wanting to take a break, but I wish him the peace he is craving.  I know of the desire to rest and be freed from pain.  I wish him the best and hope he stays well and returns to us someday.  I respect him a great deal.

    just came - searching forums on "ralwus" after reading his last poem that didn't allow comments.  I hope he's just taking a break as is being said here.  The last poem seemed to imply something more dark... hopefully it was just poetic for taking a break.  A truly gifted man.  I do hope he returns soon and is well.
