Nails on a chalkboard The sound of his voice The extra day’s visit When given no choice The fog-laden air And lack of sunshine The cool winter breeze Causing my sister’s whine The quickly raised voices Insisting they’re right The misinformation That causes a fight The great indecision Which channel to choose? The card game we’re playing That I’ll likely lose It’s time to embrace While the clock chimes sound And say, “Happ...

Sunday morning, cold, damp and miserable. The dark rain-clouds which had, less than an hour previously, let fall a deluge of freezing rain upon the fields and hills surrounding the small Pennine village, were beginning to break. Their stark edges becoming wisps of pale grey. For the men and women who had gathered around the well-kept war memorial, the weather was a mere inconvenience. Nothing would keep them from remember...

I love you- You know that right? Every time that I have told you no, I was hoping it was for your own good. You say you are no longer the same person, That he died long ago. I don't belive you. I will always see you as the strong, amazing, and most bravest person I've ever known. You are my other half. When you went away, A part of me did as well. I started listening to your music, watching the things you watch. And whene...

So dear to me, I love and cherish you so much,More truly than words alone can hope to express,For I am only complete when I know your touch,And in that union, I find true happiness,Blessing the day you consented to be my wife.But my heart aches whenever I see you in pain,And I hate everything distressing in your life,My only wish is to make you happy again.But such is my blindness; I often fail to sayThose sweet words you...

"It’s okay,” she says, “It’s okay,” she says, With a broken heart, like a broken record, Rather than rejected, my apologies are ignored,She claims my mistakes are derived from her flaws.“It’s okay,” she says, “It’s okay,” she says,With her feet in the fire, so nonchalant,She doesn't condemn the fire, the fire I lit,She turns advocate and praises my sins,Complementing my insults to her, justifying my injustices,Defending m...

The elves gave Gav the sack that contained Giorgia and Poppet. He took it inside his hovel, where he turned it upside down. Giorgia dropped out of the sack and was mad as hell. Confronted with a mean looking huge red monstrosity, she stood her ground along with Poppet, whom she cuddled closely. "Who are you?" she said. "And where is Reece? Mum and Auntie Ginger are gonna be so mad at him for this and so is Kermit." Lookin...

It’s kind of quiet and peaceful, but not a good quiet. Not like a tranquil, Japanese garden kind of quiet. This is the eye of the hurricane, the calm before the storm; like the calm before everything you know disintegrates into ash and vanishes before your eyes. I enter my house warily, footsteps as quiet as I can make them, my hand inside my jacket clutching my penknife. Just in case. The door bangs shut behind me, and I...

Don’t disdain Don’t refrain Don’t be angry Don’t be lame Don’t be harsh Just save face

It's deja vu, but not at all the same. How can that be?Almost three years ago I almost lost you. You had been sick for months, so our life had been strained, I needed you more than you were capable of giving. We were soul mates, the couple everyone was envious of, and yet we threw it all away. Our connection had eroded weakening our commitment. I was lonely, feeling lost and immersed in stress. And then you were admitted...

Turn back the clocks, forget mistakes,Your heart is torn, it cries again. Expect your life to catch some breaks,Just know that you can take the pain. That cannot be the last of thisYou must know how a life can bend.Accept your dreams, let in the bliss,Be sure that you will see the end. No false Kismet, will seal your fate,Just live the way you wish my dear.So do not dither, don't be lateForget the past and lose your fear....

You questioned my honor twice that I know, And I felt hurt which fed into my hate. Will you forgive me so peace will yet grow? I have honor enough at any rate. You left me hanging, I held you so dear,Never knowing what I did that was wrong.Will you forgive me for being sincere?I trust you, I know you, let's move along. You tried to deceive with misdirection, Using words that were false, and some were true. Will you forgiv...

Baby I am so sorry, Please say you will forgive me For being so naive. I watched you Spending time with others And what you say we are, Doesn’t seem real. Although you have Told me over and over That you love me And you want me to be your wife. You have always seemed More attentive, affectionate to others, And that hurt. Listening to a song you gave me I realised today, You confide in me Maybe not as much as I may like Bu...

Things that are done can’t be undone. Sometimes things that are done are wrong, and can’t be forgiven. Sometimes things are done, but can be forgiven. When do we know which is to be forgiven? Sometimes we do things we know are wrong, because we are selfish, and want what we can’t even though we know it’s wrong. Do we care when we go after that one thing we shouldn't have? No, usually not, and sometimes we do and just don’...
