Admiration Sonnet

Just a quickie while I'm on my lunch break from work! Its about flowers in a garden in case you didn't already guess!



The pink cherry blossoms on the tree outside
Match your geisha like lips.
I admire you from afar, with my eyes open wide
Watching the way you shake your sultry hips.
I know each freckle on your nose
And the pale tones of your skin.
Like the burnt orange colour of a rose
against snowdrops blossoming in spring.
But you don’t recognise my lily white face
Or want to gaze into my amber flecked eyes
All you want is to dance and be chased

Falsifier

Can't remember if I've posted this one before or not. Anyway, enjoy! It focusses on pretty angry memories and is a couple of years old. I'm not this angsty now haha! Enjoy.


Falsifier

On this bitter black night I think of you
asleep in your bed of anguish and lies.
Your lack of conscience displeases me, and to my surprise
my anger holds me there in the moment, sticking my elbows to the windowpane and forcing me to remain there as if with cruel glue.
My head throbs with memories of your inflicted pain and the way you’d just smile to soothe me, and later on you’d do it again.
I still have the scars, in mind and skin
and I know that in this game, I’m never allowed to win.
I try to wrench myself free from the pane and pain, but it seems
that your overpowering force knows no bounds.
I spit out of the window, my face burning with tears and arms chafing the wooden frame. All I can taste are your falsehoods and cheats.
I spit again
and remembering the way my throat swelled and stung from battling and bickering.
I try to escape it even now. I open my mouth but my screams and pleas
still fall upon your ignorant ears. I stumble away from the window and gasp for breath. Still trapped in your maze of barbed wire.
 You are nothing but a falsifier.

Bad Updater

Uh oh! It's been a really long time since I last posted and I am most sorry. Been a bit pre-occupied having fun and trying to sort my life out. The last few weeks have been stressful to say the least and after some disappointing news two weeks ago I'm just about getting back on track (ish.) Had a leisurely day off today with my friend which consisted mostly of sitting in the sun, playing a bit of mariokart and eating ice cream. It was pretty good! Back to Herry tomorrow for more Easter fun. Even though it won't be for as long as originally planned but the less said about that the better.


Will try and post some bits of work this evening, but everything's been a bit shit lately so haven't felt like writing much. Will see if I can dig up some old pieces though.

Taylor Swift

Hello and sorry sorry sorry for only just posting these and neglecting my little blog lately. Been super busy with work and being distracted by my new phone (oops) so I've barely had my computer switched on. Anyway, here are a few photos from Taylor Swift at the MEN arena on 29.03.11. It really was a wonderful night, just a shame that there were so many insane, crying, screaming 12-15 year old girls. I think I would have preferred an over 18's show but it was still lovely all the same and I had a great time singing along!
