How are you doing today?
Have you taken stock?
Take a minute and breathe, just for you.
No-one else, just you; marvellous, flawed, magic, human, YOU.

My feet are always cold
Well, to be exact
It’s my goddamned toes
I can cover them in shoes
And socks
Untold
But they never seem to catch a bit of warmth
No matter how I wiggle them so!
The more I know of Love
the less I know of me.
The more I live of Life
the greater the mystery.
The more I measure Time
the faster she flees.
I no longer seem to write anything, rather than the odd journal entry in my personal journal. Whatever passion, or need, I had to write has not been forthcoming of late; but I would like to rectify that.
Essays and assignments are the only form of writing I find myself deeply entrenched in of late. Being a law student, a mature one nonetheless, renders me unable to even think about personal projects or even a simple blog. This saddens me, I hope that 2019 will bring new ideas and passions. Life seems so sorely lacking in them of late.
I loved vodka
Nothing else could sate my soul
That paint stripper quality of a Kirov
The mellow mood that came with Smirnoff
Triple Distilled
My thirst could never have its fill
We’d chase it with lines
That grew less and less fine
As the hunger increased
And all of our money went into the belly of the beast
A change came about, most unexpectedly
When lack of sleep became the priority
Its funny how basic instinct
Can make a conscience step aside and think, ponder, wonder…
Is this all there is?
The glaring truth is….
NO there’s so much more.
I began to see the colours of the world in bold
My love for the written word has begun to take hold
The sun is starting to shine again
Once more I’m becoming whole
Is anyone there? I’ve been here, alone, for so long now, that it feels as if I’m all the world yet nothing at all.
I wanted to find you within me
I didn’t want to look aimlessly up into the stars
Wondering if you were under the same ones, somewhere
I wanted you in my bed, in the here and now
Not merely a possibility
But my very real reality
Not just to be a mere possibility of my wishful thinking
Wanted to know your voice already
Not to strain for the whispers of a ghost, not yet risen
And then, the sun came through the curtains
My eyes opened and here I am
It has been nothing but a dream
And there your face is on my pillow.
All I have
is all I have
For all I have
I’m very glad
Sometimes my blessings are plentiful
Other times, perhaps not
One thing I know I’ll never be
is ungrateful for my lot
Our gifts are ours
and ours alone
Cherish them
Treasure them
Use them
Before they are gone.
I love you,always have,always will
Even though you lay there , so still
I refused to believe when they said you were ill
Took you away where they could not reach you
Wanting so badly to keep you happy,keep you safe
When you closed your eyes that last time
I couldn’t lose you,the one thing that’s mine
So I found the best way for us to be together
Hidden from prying eyes
My child,my baby,a tiny image of me
Snatched away from my arms
But while mother is here,you will come to no harm
When my time comes,we will finally be together
I told them right from the start you are mine.
Forever.
I can’t sleep
It is 3.08 am and I can’t sleep. I have been trying since 10pm, at some point you have to admit defeat and just occupy yourself in other ways. Listening to Radio 4, one of their afternoon dramas. Radio has been a Godsend to me in these hours of insomnia which seem to come more often of late. The hours between 1am to 5.00 am when it seems like you are the only person alive in the world; in the darkness.
What do you use to comfort you when you can’t sleep? Do you write? Or maybe you read until your lids can hold themselves up no more? Let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear your suggestions!
