Fractured Memories
night
icy rain
the choppy surface of the sea
the smell of salt in the air
a guy like myself dressed in an anorak like mine
standing by the railings with a mobile phone
talking
I have hazy recollections of waking up from a nightmare with a shout and heading down to the promenade in the early hours of the morning, shivering from the cold and smoking a cigarette by the railings as I watch the sea in the distance, a huge mass that breathes in the dark

Thanks. Yes, you're right, Paul. There are elements of this in me - thankfully, a lot more controlled now.

Many thanks, Joseph, for such kind comments. I've been so busy, but am trying to get more poetry out there. I hope you are well,

Hey there, Lawrence
As a reader, I love the ideas that are left swirling in my head, as to where this may lead.... such wonderful potential, indeed. The atmosphere you are able to cleverly convey with just that little installment of writing knocks my socks off... I hope you're able to continue it and add to to it, at some point.....
I very much enjoyed the mystery!

Thanks very much, Bluevelvete.
Yes, I bounced my writings around publishers and agents. Many thought the writing and story telling were polished, but didn't feel they could market my work. I would love to share more here, though.
