I wish to confess a love so sincere,
I feel so alive knowing you are near,
I'll be there for you come rain or any weather,
Just take my hand and I'll love you forever...
I was lone and lost when I found your door
We sat down and talked
The tears began to pour.
You've been trying too hard
You need to let go
Live now to the full
Rise and Take hold.
I don't know where to start
Where do I begin?
Go easy, no pressure
Don't over think.
I took a deep breath
And wiped away the tears
Time to move on and face those fears...
The voice in my head,
It's calling my name,
Shouting and screaming,
I'm going insane!
I'm biting my lip,
I'm clenching my fist,
The rage is burning!
Descends the red mist...
- flash of white!
-stab of pain!
I've lost control!
I'm going insane!
More more,YOU, Again!
The voice in my head,
When will it end?
-flurry of blows!
I cannot see!
It stopped...-My god!
...That wasn't me?
Love 02
If love is unconditional then I still love her...she doesn't need to love me back
Pencils scratched away at jotters as the class copied religiously from the blackboard. I looked at the words and then at my blank page. I tried again to grip with my right hand. Shaky and unsure I managed a very messy date. Fed up I glanced up at the unaware priest/teacher and switched to my left. Instantly at home I hurried to catch up.
At the next to me was Jennifer, her long blonde hair falling slightly over her face as she wrote. Her concentration was broken as she realised I was looking at her. She smiled back...
A shadow loomed over me. The o
Introduction
Corpses lay strewn across the battlefield. Bodies mangled by the spear, blood spilt by the blade and the silence broken by a lone cry of agony. The night was just beginning to pull its dark veil over the dead.
"We meet again friend" The ageing man caught my attention, clasping hands. Looking deep into his dark brown eyes, beneath the elation, I could just make out a tale of terrible things he had seen. "Perhaps I might catch your name this time?" He said raising a sole grey brow.
"For now just call me Jason" My real name was a gift of trust he was yet to earn in full. Behind him crows scattered and cawed, probably scared off
The luscious rain covered my face,
Cooling, soothing full of grace,
The sun its warmth it did caress,
A smile did grow in spite of stress,
Birds a whistling a wonderful piece,
Woe betide should they away and cease,
Silence is gold the absence of sound,
Shimmering shine of undisturbed strength,
What is this? That should hush their song
I peer deeper, through the worldly throng
Just beyond reach I cannot see
The one, creator, is it he?
I can't quite make...oh wait, oh no
Could it be? I search my soul
Nothing there, cold and hollow
If only, oh well, maybe the morrow
Ah, how time flutters and flies
End the day and darken the sky
If I could fly, I'd fly away
Who knows where I'd go
Wind whispering in my ear
Air rushing through my hair
Who knows where I'd go
If I had wings, I'd fly away
I think I'd swim the skies
My feathers flutter in the breeze
Gliding, soaring, flips with ease
I think I'd swim the skies
If I could fly, I'd see the world
What wonders to behold
Magnificent mirror the ocean blue
Land, sea, sky and you
What wonders to behold
If I had wings of pure white
I'd make sure that you were safe
I'd be your angel, guard you, keep you
I'd be loyal, loving and true
I'd make sure that you were safe
One day you'll fly and be with me
We'd see ever

XXIII - Learning to Walk
Bright sunlight hit my face, pulling me out of sleep and into the bleary morning world. I kept my eyes closed against the blinding onslaught, nose twitching with a building sneeze. Rather than hold it in, I let it out and spasmed appropriately. That over and done with, I settled down, rolling over and enjoying the warm sun on my back.
"Good morning," said Jamie, further into the cave.
I rumbled in response. It was too early, and I was far too comfortable to get up. The rough floor of the cave made a surprisingly good bed. Though there were no birds nearby to sing, the breeze hummed gently as it roamed the hills, an
XXI - Revelations
"Here we are, then." Jamie said with more enthusiasm than the place deserved. It was a small cave, barely high enough to stand in, carved into the rocky cliff face on the other side of the hill he had pointed out to me. I followed him in, red, panting and sweaty from the walk and the climb. My shoulder ached worse than before, and I was sure it was still bleeding. That, or I was sweating even more than I thought.
"Well, thanks for getting me here, but you should probably take off now." It was already evening; sunset was coming soon and I didn't want Jamie to be around when the moon rose.
"I thought I'd stay and chat for a
XVIII - Comfort
It was late when I left the train; the springtime sunset was here already, and the town around me was winding down. The easiest thing to do was simply set myself up in a secluded part of town and settle down for the night.
So that's what I did; curled myself up in my sleeping bag, rucksack acting as a makeshift pillow, and tried to get some proper sleep.
Restful sleep eluded me, though. At least twice I found myself jerking awake from another nightmare; they were hazy, indistinct and incoherent images. Mark, Susan, the two hunters, all swirling together into a coagulation of horror.
It seemed like I was fighting a losing b
XVII - Kill or be Killed?
My head spun back around to face forward, but I had a feeling he knew that I'd spotted him already. His eyes had been fixed firmly on my head; it would have been more amazing for him to not realise.
The bottom of my stomach felt like it had dropped into my colon. I knew what was coming now. Was there any way to lose him in the crowd? Maybe, but I couldn't be sure he wouldn't find me again. After all, he had tracked me this far.
I sighed. I should have killed him when I had the chance. I couldn't do it then, but... Here I was, with another chance to do it right. Was someone up there trying to show me something?
Ye
Writing stories perhaps not, I have fun imagining them and maybe one day in the far future I might be able to translate them into text. Poems, lyrics and inspirational poster things much more likely, though I think a good photo or two wouldn't go amiss.
Just done the glasgow half marathon. Tis tiring I tell thee!!! But definately gave me plenty of time to think about things and imagine....
It's raining buckets outside, I'm gonna go out now and get soaked for the fun of it!:)

I would have featured his writing series but wasn't sure which of them to pick, I like them whole:)
I'm well aware that there are many different forms of poetry each governed by a set of rules. But what I'm wondering is that can poetry still be good even if its got a steady rythm and consistant ryhming pattern (e.g. ABABCDCDEFEF) all the way through? I have fun doing not so sophisticated stuff but I'm curious as to how one might progress? Even if you're not a poet, feel free to comment! :)
