Today I thought of you

And don't know what to do

The memorys are strongly there

Of the life that we still share


This guilt makes me weep each day

Should I go or should I stay

I was weak to let someone else in

I the adulteress

Committed the ultimate sin


You are sensible and live by routine

He is wild and keeps me in a dream

He makes me forget

The lover I had already met


You don't know what I d...

Shall We

” we have to give it back ”

” but why !” I replied

A tear fell as I tried to look away.

Away from the very thing that could change my life.

If luck comes your way would it not be foolish to not grab it with both hands, I thought.

” Taylor you in dream land again, those shops in your head are the only ones that you will be seeing ”

I looked at my wise bestie as she now beckoned me up the stairs of ...

GIVE ME A LARGE ONE

Stepping into my local I couldn't believe the state my uncle was in.

Though , I would say he was quite in his rights to choose a bottle of whisky as his best friend.

After all it is not everyday your wife of only 1 day tells you she is soon to have a sex change op.

So standing next to him at the bar I did feel sorry for him.

And now after a good hour of telling me the sob story that I already knew...

” it has been on charge all year and the bloody sat nav has now stopped working ” bellowed santa


” you have had that one for centuries, it's of no surprise so you should have gone to speck savers and got your glasses replaced ” snarled an impatient reindeer


” I was going to buy you one for Christmas ” smiled an elf in santas defence.


” stop all the bitching reindeer if you are wanting one of Mr...

I always knew I was different, an outcast. An alien in human flesh, destined to walk this strange planet alone. Then I saw him, sitting across from the cafeteria.


Next to the cafeteria was the pub where I often chose to drown my sorrows .

It was where I had been heading until becoming side tracked by the mysterious one .


It was residing in the shadows but the street light had whistle blown its c...

To Be Free

Jean Hornby

You were the only reason,

the only reason at all

I climbed a ladder

And did not fall


You gave me hope

And eyes to see

To not give up

To believe in me


You are the only reason,

the only reason at all

I am on top of the ladder

And remain 10 feet tall


You gave me hope

And eyes to see

Dream big always

To be free

The Star Pupil

It was here .... it was really here !

I couldn’t believe my luck.


All the sleepless nights of research had paid off


So as I knelt down to admire my find , I could not help but feel proud and hoped that my teacher would feel proud too.


That teacher was a woman called Marcy.


I now recalled back to when Marcy had placed the strange advert


The ad that I , her only pupil had replied to.


And I bro...

THANK YOU

As the human carried me into some den ,

I clung to her with all my strength and claws.


I knew this place was where she often chose to be ,

for the smell - her smell was very strong here.


it was overpowering even to my immature senses .


But I felt I wanted to be here .


Pleasant drifts of an overwhelming peace and unrequited love were immensely welcoming.


I soon relaxed and could not help but...

Dear Child

You know dear child it is not all about what the eye does see .


A heart and soul is your teacher


The beating heart will keep you focused

As it nourishes the soul for celestial growth



They will be the tools that will guide

and help you to develop into the Angel

that you need to become.


One day your wings will open and no longer be invisible .


Until that day just learn to fly ...

No Longer A Secret

OMG they were all gone . All of them, just like that !


It all began when they and I took things a bit further.

Those I called the Shy Ones.


My fascination for them had been an inquisitive one .

So one evening I invited all my close friends around and just hoped the Shy Ones would appear like they had done a year ago today.


Today was the anniversary of that first contact.

They were shy but curi...
