It’s very early in the morning, Outside it’s raining lightly, As some morning light peaks through A small opening in the curtains. Hot tea and coffee has been made, And it sits, saucer underneath on the bed, Awaiting its consumer. A book lies open, A story in mid-pause. Whilst a cat, fluffy with brown ears […]
When we were young, children, carefree and in love with the sensation and curiosities of life, when did we tell ourselves that that day would be the last we play with our dolls and wonderworlds? When did we come to decide that dragons weren’t in caves filled with gold, and princesses weren’t held captive awaiting […]
You started out young, I don’t know if you were happy But I do know that you were full of life and curiosity. As a child, your hair was red. Strawberry blonde and long, Such was the time, when hippy culture was popular. Your mother wore flowers in her hair, and vibrant coloured clothes. Maybe […]

Love casts its light in a room so pale, and shrouded in shadows, black and blind. Before love made its grand and flamboyant entrance, light that had reflected off joyous life had filtered in through the cracks and opened doorways to that cold and dark room every now and again Making the room less cold, […]
Twenty-six years ago today I had been born as a fresh, blue-eyed, and hairless baby. I suppose a lot of people had come to see what I had come out like. Was I small and feeble, or larger than assumed? Did I squeal, have a raspy cry, or was I eerily quiet? Did I appear […]
The smell of seasoned potato masks the air in a tempting aroma, While grey clouds try to push their way through wooden blinds But are halted by the warm glow that emanates from the soft light of the kitchen. Voices from out there in the town echo up into my space, and reminds me that […]
