Spring ’23

Interspaced noise

static television

vision of a green field

blooming flower

rose bush

cutting hedges

fledging among the birds

transition from the past

to a new beginning

pastures that bring light

your time to shine


Growling

Fierce fangs that can pierce iron

Eyes that stare down an ocean's waves

Paws that rip apart a leather mannequin

Whose heart goes clink-clink-clink

A creature who cannot swim in the drink

Or a pouncing surprise  

Come ruse my delight

Oh, mighty growler.  



Christmas tis the Season to be Jolly

What are your feelings about eating meat?

This Christmas you’ll be tucking into some warm, succulent turkey I imagine! Although, nothing wrong with cooking any large bird, or having any alternative meats!

I’ve been venturing to different areas, some more decorated and in the spirit than others. I have my list of go to places for a meal or drink – those which are nice, have a Christmas theme going and are generally happy in nature. Unfortunately, where I live there isn’t many decorations around the town. Only a little. But I can always travel which is what I have been doing!

If you are looking for gifts to buy people, I’m sure you will have plenty of options. I found this site to give me some ideas – https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/christmas

Then there is the Etsy website. It’s full of great gifts and for reasonable prices. https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/christmas_gifts?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=christmas%20gifts_e&utm_campaign=Search_UK_Nonbrand_BNG_ENG_Holiday_Christmas-Gifting_New_holiday22_&utm_ag=Christmas%2BGifts&utm_custom1=k_7a3af9be58f812a1eaf29a32ea5772d7_k&utm_content=bing_420477294_1309518711678861_81844994200993_kwd-81845108055951:aud-808167869:loc-188_c_&utm_custom2=420477294&msclkid=7a3af9be58f812a1eaf29a32ea5772d7

The time of year to relax, have fun and get into the spirit. Maybe you should try out a Christmas market. I’ve been trying to find one that stands out. As I said I have my preferences for locations to visit, but they never have a massive market. Some places have mostly food stalls. My recent trip to the Intu Trafford Center revealed a small festive fairground with ice skating which I did not know about! I will be going back at some point.

I also hope to be able to do some skiiing over this winter. I doubt it will be on a real mountain, but I nonetheless want to. That’s a great day out if you are struggling with things to do with the family. I’m hoping to spark some creativity in you by sharing this post. A lot of people are alone and struggle at Christmas. Why not go out and do it yourself? What I mean is that if you are struggling for ideas on what to do you should just do it yourself because you will probably have a good day.

There are loads of Christmas pantomimes on this time of year and a load of Christmas themed shows. Not to mention the markets in the cities, although primarily food based are still a good way to socialise if you are lonely.

Don’t feel pressured into being happy and cheery though. You aren’t doing anything wrong by simply not having a good time. People struggle, it’s human nature.

Sapphire Flame

Wind whips against the flame
dying and unchanged

Night burns into day
that waste away

Heart focuses on love
filled with pain

A rare sapphire 
glisten gemstone
rare, unmoved
vibrant shining radiance

Beautiful glow
birds of the forest
fly into the embers
of it's aura. 

Buy Me A Coffee

Adequate

There's never always a full glass

Or half an orange

Sitting on your counter top

The spinning and the moving

Uneasy cessation

You are remarkable

Being you

No empty falls

Broken hearts

Concrete wall

Or a restart

The beauty is there

There's nothing wrong with adequate

Autumns Young Heart

Crisp skies lines riveted with white
broken tree top delight
on gray clouds hung low
on children's laughter
where the birds chirp and sing
to their hearts master
through windows we gaze
moving mountains afar
in the minds eyes
we dare to be

Many Years Ago

uniform, cradled desire

transfigurative deceptive, reliance

who do you see when you stroke the night and wish upon her that all is to be 'well'

a glass chalice glistened under my palm said that I could stare into your heart

as motions kiss beckons on my lips she who called upon me

back in the wind of my grace I see I fell unto you

when time rolled and transcended mirrored ghosts 

give you say, be freed from the anxieties of your awakened existence

move forth into the battle zone, paced not for war but for joy

I'm sat here alone surrounded by a brilliant white light a love so bright

is it time to go but no I sit here not to see the day end but feel a rapture

could it have lasted an eternity?

friendship, family does not dwell on the lips it suffers in the gullet



What is Happening? (opinionated)

Let’s forget about the fact the country is in chaos, and has been for 2 years and wash it away with cake, alcohol and jubilations for the rich whilst the poor struggle to make ends meat.

Have a read of the above quote, tell me below how you feel about that. How exactly do you feel? Angry, scared, frustrated, sad, depressed beyond belief, miserable and tired, unmotivated, anxious, timid, sleepless, nostalgic or just plain ignorant.

The country (UK) is absolutely now I believe one of the worst places to live. We have at the moment the jubilations for the monarch. I will not call them anything else. They have zero power, and are nothing more than figure heads who have a position to act now, as nothing more than idles. Whilst the country sees millions struggle to eat, heat their homes, work or earn enough, soaring health issues due to poor health care from GPs and hospitals, the wealthy yet again blow millions of pounds in our faces. Guess what? That is public money being wasted. This entire weekend is a public funded event, the monarch survives off nothing but public funds. Considering all the issues it is extremely unfair for them to be blowing this money, essentially partying (yet again) to the public expense.

They are laughing in your faces.

I call for you all to stop supporting this ridiculous event and start to support the people who need it. It is the government, governmental bodies and the entire upper class who are in charge of public funds. You ask, well who is that? It is people, just like you or I, hiding behind institutional names and ideas. They are not superior, they are not better in any way. If anything, they are desperate, greedy and rotten soul-less parasites.

It extends beyond just giving them money, and ‘going along with it.’ You are supporting their agenda, their ideas of living. I will not have someone else tell me how to live, what to eat or what to do. Neither should you. Not if the same people are themselves completely ignorant to what they themselves have said. I say again, ‘they are laughing in your faces.’ Trust me, that is not an opinion, or need I remind you of the fact that when the downing street party was exposed, they laughed about it on television to our faces.

You see the agenda is simple, once you realise it you will hopefully wake up and stop feeding the rubbish that claim to act in our best interests. Have you noticed the huge wealth transfer over the last two years? Soaring unemployment, death and disease whilst the rich continue to live protected by bubbles and cotton? It is medieval to say the least. But then again, the institutions are medieval in every way they operate. They are literally stuck thinking in those old ways, so will never embrace change.
