Excuse the reflective mood. Lent starts today, so it's got me thinking a bit more about others. I stumbled across this while flicking through Pinterest this morning: Very much the theme for my life at the moment, my new job working for ASLAN, putting pen to paper again (ok, tapping on keys) with HJ - it … Continue reading Hello Ash Wednesday
Maybe it’s the way we walk?

They walked slowly out of the building; through its long shadows, down the stark white steps and into the sunshine. It was only then he realised how chilled the stone had been, and how muffled the sound as it’d bounced around the cavernous architecture. He glanced up at the arch as they came out under … Continue reading Untitled…
Up the hill
Slick pavements, Water dappled cars. Air heavy as the blacked sky. But, it's not raining. Yet. Snippets of swoosh, spish of Six am traffic, And Kings of Leon play In a Cold Desert. This time, I'm faster, further. But the hill feels steeper. Burning lungs, knee twinge, and embarrassment, As an old man cycles past … Continue reading Up the hill
New year’s run
So, after a hiatus: Christmas, I donned the karrimors. Wiping sleep from my eyes to log on to the Marathon App. My hood up to greet the dark morning: Rain free, cold, splatterly puddles.

And although your hand clutched mine, Your wonder was at the force of nature, Which pushed … Continue reading Poem: Dorset

You craved for my heart to be for you Giving first, faithful, loving pure, Soulful soul mate, fixed, renewed You eagerly, stressed the point. Lies have kept me apart from … Continue reading Poem: Heart for you
A First…
Dry umbrella, sniff of summer, An invasion of butterflies. The strangest feeling Planning a meeting By internet with emoticon smiles. You were late, our first date. So, i settle with a glass of wine. Suppress exclamation, Quell expectation, But I text ‘I’m fine’. I like the buzzing, gentle muzzy Feel of the trendy gastro bar. … Continue reading A First…
Bullies, cowards and empty cupcake sleeves
I don't normally read the gossip columns, or at least, i don't normally admit to reading them; but i was moved to post this on my Facebook today: Was there a woman who saw those awful pictures of Nigella Lawson who didn't think "If he does this in public what does he do behind closed … Continue reading Bullies, cowards and empty cupcake sleeves
