I’ve sat in many coffee shops nursing cups of coffee Watching people interacting in an ordinary way My loneliness is crippling but no one gives a toffee Somehow they know (how could they know?) That I was born this way Fate played an icy game when I came into this world Setting fingers of indifferenceContinue reading “Too Many Lonely Coffees”

Self-ish
It’s unfashionable to be selfish Unnatural not to care more for others than yourself But you have needs and wishes that aren’t compatible with mine Which means that either I care more for you than me And you care more for me than you Or you can’t be who you are And I can’t beContinue reading “Self-ish”
Things I Thought I Needed
When I was young I felt like no one and nothing. I’d dreamed of going to university, flying the nest, travelling the world, and having a great career as an interpreter in foreign climes. Instead my parents took me out of school aged 16 because I had one bad year where school was boring andContinue reading “Things I Thought I Needed”

She wasn’t eight feet tall, or a being of light Yet she pushed back the darkness with her love. She wasn’t Angelic; in fact she wasContinue reading “Angel’s Wings”
A Moment
You gave me a glance of things I had dreamed, things written in books but not, I thought, seen. You showed me a world where romance can rule, You gave me a taste, a teaser, that’s all. And now I’m alone with a dream I’ve just touched, Never quite real yet needed so much. ThankContinue reading “A Moment”
Coronation Conniptions
So today’s the day. Love it or hate it, the UK and Commonwealth (those nations still monarchies) are getting an official King crowned in the eyes of God. Dedicating himself to a duty that only ends with the grave. That’s a BIG commitment. Division rules This blog isn’t about royal worship, royal loathing, or evenContinue reading “Coronation Conniptions”
No Wise Words
