Demon

Night is young

Embark on the causal subways of the times

Shadows dance

Figures elongated in mind

Seeking, preying

Finding the bait

Dear demon

I can't negate

Your hate

Distant screams of a broken future

Cries that cannot be found

Your all around

Yet we search for escape

And find no exit door

This is Hard…

I start this series of words

With an open heart

That cares

I've been in love

I've felt afraid

My day was alright

Until rain drained it away

I dragged myself through hell

I found nothing but deceit

When the time was right

We had yet again to meet

But by then the wounds had sealed

By then I could not heal

Pain that you caused me

You did so intently

Fast forward some

Past the moon, past the sun

Find me nestled in the bed

Where she strokes me on the head

And we love and we touch

I realise what it is not

It is not you

Or what you did

There was more people

Hearts so big I wanted to cry

The love they gave, helped heal me inside. 

The Jewel

Every time you open your mind

You see a wave of turmoil inside

When the seas are so high

You will always cry

*

The days are but gone

No longer are we one

Yet sustained by our own reflections

Bettering our own divine connections

*

The x-ray might pierce the skin

Reveal what was all along, within

But your hand is an open flame

Intrigued into your addictive love game

Passions that stirred our cocktails

In the dead of night

When we fell to the pavement

We thought it was alright

*

A gem comes shining through

Nestled in your chest

With love as its anchor

And hope chained to its fleshly fixtures

Earthbound

But not restricted

What Makes an Awesome Hot Chocolate?

Do you have a favourite Christmas drink? I prefer a hot chocolate which is what this post is about!

Below is a fantastic recipe which I found through Twitter:

As you can see this is different because it contains some potent spices and flavours! Vanilla and nutmeg make a delicious combination. There is no limit to how far you can take this recipe. You can add some whipped cream on top, then sprinkle some chocolate and add a flake for example.

I’m hoping to wow someone with this recipe as long as they have the ingredients in… otherwise I’ll have to go buy some more. Talkinng of buying the ingredients, I should probably stock up on food before Christmas. I recommend you all do the same.

Todays poem is called – fittingly – HOT CHOCOLATE

It warms my stomach

And fills me with joy

Our favourite mug of love

Served with our toys

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.

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

Lament

The sun is setting in the distance
I hear the call of the owl's screech
My body and mind have been at an impasse
Where the rocks on the mountain shake and crumble
If only there was enough light in the day

Dying leaves have fallen
Searing pain unbearable to express
I find myself bridled with disappointment
Wondering, yearning
An answer that heaven cannot even cast down on me

You see, those eyes were green with envy
Hate and misery seeped from your black tongue
Fire spat from your flesh
If ever a devil existed, it was you

Lamenting the torment
Is not a conscious desire
It is an impending spear
Stuck in the ribcage of a lion
Whose tiresome body is resting

Forever a mighty soul
Born with genius bespoke
The hand full of hope
Stuck in the bramble bush
Prickled, stung, betrayed
Heart that empties away...

See the sun on the horizon
Its orange glow heats your spirit
The warmth of the love
Keeps you strong
Golden leaves have now fallen
Lamenting the spring yet to come.

Building a Better Life

Sometimes I drowned under unbearable memories

Pain that you caused is always under the surface

Pushing to the top

Making a nuisance

You don't know or care

Would rather drink it away

*

Well I'm more than that

Better than that

Stronger than you

My heart is full of love

I am the light of the world

I am the peace in the night

The sunrise on the horizon

A faint whisper on the air

Loves eternal embrace

*

Now my life is a straight path

No more pain do I feel

I am more than your evil

That will burn forever

In regret and hate

Whilst I make

The most of it
