I sense you near me
I sense you near me
Painting me with your eyes
Although all you see is a picture
A vision on far away skies
I feel you near me
Although you are far away
Communicating over the ether
Is so commonplace today
I feel I know you
Although only through what you share
I have a limited portrait
With a canvas that has large bits bare
I feel a friendship
Growing stronger with time
The strength of the sketch
Will strengthen or maybe decline
I feel you near me
We are able to share
Humour, interests and difficulties
Adds a dimension most rare

What makes your writing boring?
What makes your writing boring
Other than the obvious …you have no ideas
What if your tale is magical but your prose is in arrears
What makes your writing boring
The tale just comes out flat
People give up reading and settle for a nap
The pundits say too many filter words can slow the story down
Take care with have, believe, and decide
Seem, can also make people frown
You can’t let your protaganist think
Or even hear a sound, or notice or see or touch
It seems that you can’t let your protaganist, do anything very much
What makes your writing boring
Perhaps keeping your characters awake
If they snoozed through your story ,you wouldn’t make these mistakes!
What makes your story boring
So many little writing flaws
During the editing process you have to change the words on the doors
Who sold my number?
Scam phone calls
Have heard they happen
Never to me, I have a phone, that everybody ignores
I have a sim
Its ready and available
But not for calling thats a whim
Used for data a few odd texts
I don’t need it to talk
Not on this instrument, its data escape
So with suprise I note missed calls
A voice mail message waiting for me
Just noise and chatter, call centre natter filled the walls
I block the number and wait and see
Hey presto a slightly different number is calling me
Blocked that too
Caller note I dont answer this number
You have a long wait
But just who sold on my number, I sit and wonder!

A new set of values???
What did I want from this life?
Did I understand as I stumbled through?
Planning. No more like serendipity
With no direction what have I missed?
With reaction rather than considered action
What crass decisions have I made?
How have those decisions rolled out across the the cosmos?
How have those ripples impacted on others?
Who have I hurt without thought?
With a philosophy of caring for others
Have I actually been guilty of being egotistical and uncaring?
What do I want from this life?
Maybe a new set of values

Make my toes curl
Passion errupting, emotions leap and twirl
Hearing your voice makes my toes curl
Heated in the moment of new lovers bliss
Sealing the deal with a never ending kiss
Anticipation growing filling the cup
Your touch, lights my world,up
Hearing you whisper, you are my girl
That little statement makes my toes curl

Dilemma
Dilemma
Jump into the abyss
What will my landing be
Will I hit the labyrinth
Will you be there to catch me
Treasure
Explore the winding paths together
What will my role be
Will we explore, a joint endeavour
Will you smother me
Dilemma
Upside down
Upside down
Inside out
Puckered frown
Buckets of doubt
Senseless Spiral
Empty Void
Needless worries
Too much pride

Checkmate
Checkmate, parlous state
Playing games, no rebate
Trying moves, pulling strokes
Checkmate, making jokes
Cruel puns, not shared laughter
Scoring points couldn’t be dafter
Checkmate trust revoked, poor trait
Checkmate learning to hate, is it all too late?
Reset the game, change the rules
Checkmate in life could be for fools
Checkmate put in context
Relationship rebate, delete the contest.

clickety clack
Hurtling forward
Clickety clack
The train is speeding, down a new track
The signals are red
But I can’t slow it down
Maybe I should be dressed as a clown
You are the buffers
You will hold me close
Render me speechless, make me feel most
You are the danger
The spark to my flame
Racing to you with no ounce if shame
