The day I said goodbye My life crashed I felt worthless I felt trashed. The day I said goodbye I prayed for the truth You kept your mask You hid from me the sooth. The day I said goodbye I lost my faith I no longer knew you It was like you're a wraith. Th...
He really tried his best, but it was impossible. He just could not get interested in the talks and lectures at the ‘Agricultural Innovations For Sustainable Economic Landscapes’ conference, but afterwards, there was drinks and a buffet, deep in Mexico Cit...
Blind faith once left me feeling in a dark place, A place I have known too well. A shattered, empty vessel that had been left, In the place where once joy lived. Every time I heard your voice Or saw your smiling face, The lump in my throat told me the tru...
I’ve got my red trackie top on and I’m on my way into the station. There are ten minutes until the train leaves and it’s busy. I skipped a lecture to catch this train so it had better be worth it. There’s an autumn chill in the air, which I’m liking. It b...

I had a bit of a debate on Reddit a few weeks ago with a high school physics teacher that stated his students have to solve the problem the way he showed them how to solve the problem. I stated I liked showing students that there may be easier methods to...

It's only just a dream, but may we share? Imagine all the peace that we might find When finally we free ourselves from life. Forgo the dance of destiny for now, Releasing all our cares from heart and soul. One never really understands the truth That opens...
My neighbors, I imagine, know me as that guy who stands in the middle of the street for no apparent reason. Is he okay? they probably wonder. Perhaps someone should call 911 Okay. It’s a little embarrassing, but I’ll take the hit Trees block our windows;...
One of my friends asked me how I kept myself occupied during last year's Coronavirus lockdown? She asked if I had used my time wisely to study or teach myself new skills? The most important thing I learnt was how to drink wine from a coffee mug while taki...
Anxious minutes pass as I awaited the results of the tests. My mind flirting with all the possibilities. Am I or am I not? My heart starting beating again when the doctor confirmed what I already knew. I was pregnant. Again. Not the first time I had heard...
If I should win the lottery, it would be a dream come true. Imagine all those millions, I know exactly what I’ll do? Posing with a giant cheque, you’d see me on the news. I’d hold a champagne reception, before going on a cruise. I’d buy a house that’s big...
