Negative emotions are just reasons for drinks waiting to happen.

Its my fault.
Don’t blame me.
Ugly beneath this veneer.
Welcome to my issues.
Apparently, this blog / web site does not give an accurate picture of what I am like if you meet me.
However, I prefer to think that, if you met me, you wouldn’t get an accurate idea of the type of web site that I would design.
All in relief
He mapped out his life with a personal survey of ordnance
“Helps me find the way home,” he said
“In the dark, the scars are like a Braille A to Z”
I asked about street names, but he declined to comment, instead focusing on a new paring knife
“This was from the cutlers in town. I’m going to use it for the side roads. Easier to control, see”
After that night I didn’t see him in the pub. I wonder if he’d only gone in because he was lost?

A collection of days
There was a usual spot reserved for us
in the corner of the end breaker
not the sunniest
but sheltered from the wind
That was our place for years
a home to sandcastles
frisbee and french cricket
or tricking the skies with
stunt kites
We had toy surfboards
tried to stand
fell
and swam back to shore
never too far out
and careful of the tide
when the sea came in
the moats of the castles would fill
protecting them from all except
eventual collapse
Sometimes there was no space
we moved down the prominade
or up
away from all the people
next to the rocks and the steps up
the cliff face
returning when
the intruders had left
Out of season there was
all the space in the world
the sand a canvas for thoughts
scribed by driftwood
and the sea
more determined to make it presence felt
as it competed against the wind
Wake up
i remember you
out there in the woods
laughing with friends
until the rain came
when we walked together
briefly
your coat brushed my arm
with electric fabric
I shuddered
the shock not expected
nor the draw of
such charge
back at the house
we spoke
the others elsewhere
mute in the distance
their laughter gave
privacy yet still
we stood restrained
and hid ourselves
Woo, I got a ticket for Glastonbury.
Is there any
hope
for the Pope?
nope.
