Prelude
When I was a wee young lass at the grand old age of 5 I proudly announced to my parents and practically anyone who would listen that I WOULD someday be a doctor, but my fear of chronic aversion to school science lessons soon put an end to that! Next on the agenda, I was going to be to a lawyer, but I discovered I was hopeless at winning arguments ( Read more... ) -
Pause for thought (part 1)
I am going to make this a regular feature for my journal since I love words - I love nothing more than a 'play' on words.
Disclaimer - I may not be totally on par with the exact wording here but you'll get the jist...
- "The one who always looks back will only ever see his shadow"
- "Carpe Diem, seize the day, make your life extraordinary"

Spirit Guides
Spirits I can always rely on
To help me through the life not yet lived,
Guiding me towards a journey of the senses
Placing trust in the support they seem to give.
With ease I find calm in their reasoning
Their power to take away all bad thoughts,
I savour the taste of indulgent satisfaction
As I contemplate the lessons they’ve taught.
And so I toast to ( Read more... ) -
Loved
The infinite sweet taste of your kiss
Which lasts far beyond the physical embrace of your lips,
With you, all time is suspended
And all other players fade.
We exist to compose private spontaneous moments
Of eternal ecstasy,
My first true love
My burning hope in our lasting.
Whatever the un-composed future may hold
You will forever be a part of my story,

Spoils of War
Tea time destruction
Blasted images of war,
Projected into the living room
Reflecting off the ceramic cups
Off the newly varnished floor.
Blood spilled out in sacrifice
For the gallant cause of the battle they fight,
We’re told to find reverence in being
On the side of the just...
On the side of the right?
Gung ho ‘camaraderie’ takes yet another life

"3 things...
... I would put in to Room 101"
- the little red dot visible in the corner of the tv when you change channel - soooooooo infuriating!
- perfume adverts (show me one which actually makes sense)
- Faggots
What three things would YOU put in to room 101?

WORK
It’s nothing but work
For a very dull Jack,
‘Working 9 to 5’
And that’s a fact!
An arduous chore
That much we know,
For the Oxford Dictionary
Tells us so.
This modern art
We are told to embrace,
Till old age slaps us
On the face.
My own definition
Is my preferred,
Worn Out & Really Knackered!

"3 things...
...that people who know me may not know about me."
1. I am ambidextrous
2. I LOVE cheese, sundried tomatos and olives
3. I used to collect soaps (smelly ones)

Hmmmm let me ponder that thought... Glass half empty or half full? I'd say it's time to get another ( Read more... )
