So the handsome Chevalier returnsLeaving a trail of broken hearts in his wakeYet there is one heart he lusts after but cannot haveFor it is under safeguardLock and keepThe fair maiden plays a tough gameLeaving our handsome Chevalier to guess what really lies beneath the surfaceHe has hinted at knowing her true soulYet he will not tell of his findingsFrustration looms between the pairNeither willing to break the silenceAnd...

Unlike my other two 'Open letters' that I have written, these are very general and do not fit into any specific category like my makeup and underwear open letters. These are just general topics from my everyday life, that I am sharing with you, my internet friends. Also, on a side note, apparently open letters are now my thing as this will be the third 'installment' of open letters I have published. Dear the girl I live w...

Things are heating up at work. Apparently, spring didn't get the memo that it's her season, and us here in Hawkes Bay have gone straight to summer. It's not a major complaint, though, six months of summer sounds amazing, and it's even better because our Christmas and New Year's are in the summer. Because things are heating up and it's getting hotter, we leave a note for all the parents that they should start packing sun h...

Halloween isn't widely celebrated in New Zealand. It's more of an American thing, but I have noticed that now it is slowly starting to catch on over here. The local Plaza now stock Halloween costumes, and not just for children, as I have seen in previous years, adult costumes are now on sale. Anything from the classic sexy French maid and sexy nurse, witches, wizards and Disney Princesses and other characters to the very...

Over the seaAwaits his loveSteadfast and unchangingHer word of loyaltyA comfort to himThrough the darkest of timesA Northern StarOne fixed point throughout the instabilityOver the seaAwaits his hopeThe promise of a new love and a new lifeEver present and patientWhispered promises of fidelity and loyaltyThrough the rugged landscape And the elemental mistress that is the waterLays the promise of her warm embraceOver the sea...

It seems I have two weaknesses in this world. Well, three if you count Stephen Colbert, but my two main weaknesses seem to be underwear and makeup. Every single time I visit the local Plaza, or indeed the bigger Mall in the next town over, I find myself drifting towards the makeup counters and striking up conversations with the men and women who work there, about makeup. Asking questions to which I most likely already kno...

I work in childcare, a job I love and enjoy very much. No two days are the same and the children definitely keep me on my toes, but I would not change it for the world. I love my job. As you probably guessed from the title, this is just a little piece about the conversations I have had with the children over the course of my job. I was on the early shift one morning, and as I walked into the daycare centre I finished my c...

Your words chilled my soulAs you looked at me with heartless eyesAnd told me we were doneGrudgingly I said my goodbyesAnd tried to move onTrying to rid my mind of youAll those times I criedAnd thought that maybe if I changedOur relationship could be revivedI was left behindBut I didn't realise then that it was a good thingYou were so impossibleAnd even I knew back then that it was doomed from the startBut perhaps that is...

"Another one Sir?" The barkeep asked. "Please," the man replied, sliding his glass back over to the barman. "You seem in a good mood," the barkeep said, keeping the conversation going. It was two pm on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was empty, save for the happy man who kept sliding bills across the counter. "Let's just say," said the man, after a lengthy pause. "Things always work out in the end." He started laughing...

He slowly walked through the crowd of people, his eyes roving everywhere. He had expected there to be more noise from the crowd, more jeers and ugly insults hurled, but they were silent and watching him, moving aside without saying a word, too scared to touch or be anywhere near him, as if he were a leper. As he ascended the stairs of the platform he had to hold the railing to stop himself from tripping over and making a...

The bloody handprint on the window- calling card of the wicked. Of the sick. Entering the house, he could see straight away that there had been trouble in the hallway, which was the first thing one saw when they entered the house. Long abandoned was the house, built in the early 1900s and occupied until the 60s, where dark legends had surrounded it from local youth with the intent to scare, and now some sick fuck had turn...

Like a plate of glass the rush shatters, leaving you cut up and in pieces. It hurts. That high you attained, in comparison to this, was brief and only mildly pleasurable. Pills. You need more. You need more pills so you can make the high you seek last. If only it could last forever. You tell yourself that you're a better person because of it, but some people would tell you otherwise. Your family and friends are worried, b...

She was plain as paper. There was something very nondescript about her. The darkish, straight brows, the blue eyes that were just that - blue. Not a special blue, or a sparkling blue. They were neither light blue nor dark. Just blue. The oval face that was slightly long, the pursed lips and the small chin. All of these features were plain, yet when you added them together, it made for a pleasant looking face. She was neit...
