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
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.
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
Rocks, rough and uneven surfaces
Carved from storms
Rain that beat down a thousand years ago
Attaching an invisible tether to the fold
Allowing free form
*
Form that echoes distant DNA
Millions of stars among the fray
Peddling its way to the surface
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
