Fenced In

Once while fencing my heart
I chanced upon an impossible dream
A dream I suppressed countless times
It rose, in beauty, on feet of hope
And embraced a tear drop out of me
With hurried steps I rushed away
To find my mask, my book of sense
To invalidate my yesterday
Then turned to build my trusted fence
There it lies unto this day
Un-nurtured, neglected, growing still
I hoped it gone, wished it away
And yet it remains against my will
Time and time again I leave it at the gallows
I walk away and pronounce it dead
The tenderness lying deep in my heart fights inside
I look back and find it there
In my mind it seems miles away
But truly it’s only steps away
Beguiling tangible....agonizingly beautiful
And mercilessly invisible to all but me

Sesames

Last night as I drove through the busy lit roads looking at the bright evening sky with the wind blowing in my face I thought of you.  I thought of you and wondered where you were, what you were doing, what you were thinking, and if, just if, there were any ifs in your mind......On nights like this I feel like the skies above me feel my sorrow and yet somehow I feel free..maybe its because I feel one when immersed in such beauty or maybe because it's those times that I can be true to myself and you...who knows..but I still hear the voices and questions in my head, the minute I'm alone or lying in bed or when I open my eyes to the bright specks of sunlight streaming through my curtains and the innocent singing of the mockingbird outside my bedroom window, I hear them, it's as if with your exit came a new companion for me, my own companionship, my twin who always lived in my subconscious but far from haunting me, now she haunts me every day with her continuous questions....Wh...

Immigration or British Laziness?

There are many things the UK is good for and one of them is how the media allows the public to take national TV screens, set up panels, and voice their opinions... Of course in the UK there are two very big issues which affect all UK citizens, benefits and immigration. There are so many illegal immigrants living here in the UK under the radar of the UKBA who will eventually be caught and while they are hiding well earned tax payers money is going towards feeding them. And then you have another group of immigrants both within and outside of the Euro coming in to the UK legally however taking away all the jobs which you and I, citizens of the UK, should have to feed our families. But here’s the thing the British economy is thriving BECAUSE of these immigrants. They come into the country hoping to live the British dream by working hard and feeding their families so they are open to doing any job that is available to them. A lot of the jobs they have are low pay grueling jobs which most ...

Forever First

Every time I look at my phone and see his texts something inside of me lights up.  It’s a wonderful feeling knowing there’s someone else in this universe who understands how you feel because they feel it too and their simple words of reassurance does wonders to this lonely feeling.  He’s become my best friend, my first actual grown up best friend.  Sometimes I do wonder how our friendship never turned into anything else.  To be honest it baffles me.  It’s an age old conception that men and women can never simply be friends.  Somewhere down the line it blossoms into something more, whether it be purely physical or love. I remember the first night we met.  I’d just logged on to this chat site after many years and the first person to pop up was him.  I was wasting a bit of time as it was still pretty early in the night, nothing on telly, and far from tired.  After spending a few minutes flicking through channels I decided to doodle a bit on ...
