Just A Little Bit Guilty

samatna

1 min read

L is for lust

Like I feel for you

G is for gluttony

When I feast without guilt

Gr is for greed

Because I need more and more and more

S is for sloth

As I laze in the sun

W is for wrath

But I don’t feel that

I’m too lazy

Too fat

E is for envy

Which is what I get when I see him with you

P,is for pride

Yup P is for pride

No wisecracks for that

Just the gaps I fall down

And D is for dispair

W...

Words are wasted on those who do not listen.

Will not listen

Can’t be arsed to listen

I should know I’m a teacher

My dream to inspire

My hopes to create excitement and adventure and a thirst for knowledge

My reality to repeat myself until even I find my voice boring.

To say the same thing sixteen ways and still not get a response

BUT

And here’s the thing there is always at least one smiling fa...

Son Of The Sea

Like a moth it was drawn to the light, it’s dual fins rippling through the ink blue water. Silently it advanced fast as a blink, one moment far out of sea, the next at the shore and leaping through the surf and onto the rocks.

It’s scales glistened in the moonlight and claws scraped at the rock and then it stood, and took it’s human form. Tall and regal he leapt up the rocks, one minute covered...

My Noisy Family

Is there such a thing as too much peace?

Or a time when solitude fails

I follow my loved ones wherever they wander

And worry when their hearts start to break

If only I could reach them

If only I could hold them

And tell them it will all be ok

But I am gone, gone to the place where it’s silent

Gone to the place where it’s still

And yes peace and quiet are all very well

But I would trade it all for...

Dark Skies

Dark skies promise rain

But through my tears I am blind

As Mary phones me

Sorry a work thing

Dinner with Mary and Jake

Your text did explain

Clouds cover the skies

And Are you cheating again?

Rain pulls at my eyes...

We met on holiday and it was like magic, we just clicked and were friends within hours, a group of kids having a laugh and enjoying our freedom from school. There were about seven of us and I really fancied Josh the self appointed leader of our group. He was the cool one, the one all the girls liked.

Each day we met up for swimming or messing on the beach, ice creams and laughter.

Then one da...

Enemies

‘You overgrown fur ball, you pampered princess of a pet. Yes I said PET!’ Reginald the mouse drew himself up to his full three inch height and scowled at the Burmese kittie.

Reginald looked at the cat and the bars that separated them, the cat licked its paws and said nothing. But the words stung, deep in her DNA she remembered cold nights and hunting for survival but all she had known were hug...

‘I understand the words now’. He says these words and turns to look at us all, then he shakes his head. ‘But the mentality of these humans is a mystery’.

There is silence as the Professor steps forward his green fingers pointing to the strange squiggles on the screen.

‘It seems like a list of foodstuffs - eggs, cream, butter, sugar and flour - but what they do with them - well it is just incre...

Perfect You

You wrap your hand round my index finger and I melt inside. Such tiny fingernails all pink and perfect, I reach down and smell your newness. My miracle, my joy, my everything...

The Wishing Tree

We walked together hand in hand and no words did we speak.

As we reached the tree we stopped and sat in the shade, backs to the bark. I would say each lost in their own thoughts but truth be told our thoughts were the same.

The sun beat down through the branches but the canopy kept us cool, it was as if our minds and hearts were one for at the same moment we both rose and dusted ourselves dow...
