rock on!
22 of 30
the fight has just begun
because...truly...
I know I just heard you wrong
"just sit down
don't rock the boat"
seriously...
do you even know me...
clearly we've never met
hello...
how about an introduction
born under Cancerean skies...
I am a water baby
swimming in the womb
driven by the Moon
I know I look like still waters
but I'm a turbulent ocean
which makes me...
...a wild card
I'm not concerned about rocking
{or even capsizing} ...

Stay Over There
Stay over there
Sign posted in the yard saying “Beware”
I know your curious by the way you stare
But I’ll warn you again just so it’s clear
Once you bring down these walls, they aren’t easy to repair
Once you’ve touched gold , silvers harder to bear
I can tell you don’t easily scare
But once you taste it you’ll love it I swear
Ooooh you really shouldn’t touch me there
Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll have plenty to share
Hard headed and stubborn
You should heed my warning
I wish I didn’t enjoying the attention ...

short-lived fantasies
3 of 30
everything...
every imaginable uplifting
gifted to me in that moment of time
that's what it gave me
on a wild whim I entered
never expecting any kind of return
they all said it wouldn't happen
insistent my stature wasn't up to the challenge
{what's wrong with being petite?!}
but for the first time...
I followed my dream
a few simple photos
brief biography
stuffed in an envelope
addressed & sent
& the unthinkable occurred
I got the call
date set...

I gave you my love
Not exactly sure what you did with it
Couple of empty vodka bottles in the trash
You're still looking good for the camera
Back story
Star power
Salty tears
Hard work
You're like a stock I'm holding through losses
The minute I sell it, it goes up
Holding on
It's what we did before the fame
Innocence
Determination
No Botox baby

redo perspective
some people wish
they could go back
in time and fix mistakes
not
me
I'd go back in time
and enjoy them
all over again
they could go back
in time and fix mistakes
not
me
I'd go back in time
and enjoy them
all over again

Secrets - What Really Happened?
Little sleep. Clanking pipes, whistling wind, shadows forming in the dark. An old shed with a broken bicycle. A heap of discarded tyres in an unfamiliar back garden. Gordon leaning over and grinning at me, his front tooth capped with an ivory crown.
And then, I'm a boy of ten once again, legging it down Whaley Hill in the August heat. A shape appears on the Clearing at the bottom of hill. Hands grab me, pushing me against a withered tree. A man's voice threatening to kill me.
'Help,' I struggle to say bolting forward on the sofa bed, my heart hammering in my chest. ...

Secrets - A Tense Conversation
We sit on the car park wall opposite Gordon's studio flat. The night air has a calming effect that leaves me exhausted, although perspiration continues to stream from my forehead and down my face, soaking my jumper and t-shirt. I take off my jacket, place it by my feet. Seeing this, Gordon gives a nervous laugh.
'Hey, peace man. No hard feelings. I hope you're not going to ask me to fight you.'
'No,' I say.
'That's good 'cos I don't fight mates.'
Tiny stars dance before my eyes. I feel dizzy, as if my blood pressure's dropped suddenly....

Final countdown
Killing field in party town nothing sacred burn it down
Loot the stores, burn the cop cars innocence lost in this town
Drug wars spill in off the street into a little girls sleep
Wars are fought and mothers weep for the sons poured out too cheap
Planes and cars and murder vests to fill the quotas of death
Theft and murder rule the streets that pay the price of our meth
Children die before they are born to parents having fun
Wealthy rapist, name over the door, caught in the long run
Broken promises, lies and deceit it's just...
Loot the stores, burn the cop cars innocence lost in this town
Drug wars spill in off the street into a little girls sleep
Wars are fought and mothers weep for the sons poured out too cheap
Planes and cars and murder vests to fill the quotas of death
Theft and murder rule the streets that pay the price of our meth
Children die before they are born to parents having fun
Wealthy rapist, name over the door, caught in the long run
Broken promises, lies and deceit it's just...

Training Mission South Pole
Stationed off the grid
Population under 50
CIA comrades
Hookers wearing a wire
Granola with Wild Turkey 101
Booting Heroin speedballs
A life we chose
Exile from normal
No filter
Penguin Bar after dark
No cover
Juke box takes coins only
Black night
No stars
The color of salvation
BBQ with the enemy tonight
Tomorrow is cancelled
Population under 50
CIA comrades
Hookers wearing a wire
Granola with Wild Turkey 101
Booting Heroin speedballs
A life we chose
Exile from normal
No filter
Penguin Bar after dark
No cover
Juke box takes coins only
Black night
No stars
The color of salvation
BBQ with the enemy tonight
Tomorrow is cancelled

Strung Out
No
Not me
I’m pretty innocent
No drugs
Alcohol sparingly
Weird sex needs
But
Seriously
If it’s not weird
Who needs it ?
Not me

Secrets - Freddy
The gym in Burrington draws me back and I go to see Gordon Day again. We arrange to get together for a drink at the weekend. Mel's far from happy when I tell her, especially as I promised her I wouldn't. Hoping to calm things, I take her and Robert out for dinner on Friday evening, sticking to soft drinks so she can enjoy a glass or two of wine with her pasta dish, but I can see she's concerned (and annoyed too) over my renewed contact with Gordon.
Saturday, we spend most of the day rambling near the hilly mill town of Hebden Bridge. The weather's warm and windy. Sunlight trickles...

The Road Between Us
The road winds dark, the night stretched wide,
The moon half-lit, a secret to hide.
Its glow spills faint, a silver trace,
Highlighting tension they dared not face.
He drives with ease, long fingers tight,
Dreadlocks swaying in pale moonlight.
That scent of his—spice, musk, and air—
Wraps around her, pulls her unaware.
She sits upright, her badge a shield,
Yet her thoughts betray what her heart conceals.
Thick thighs shift, her breath runs thin,
She fights the storm that stirs within.
Ahead, the road comes to a...

Highlighting tension they dared not face.
He drives with ease, long fingers tight,
Dreadlocks swaying in pale moonlight.

Wraps around her, pulls her unaware.
She sits upright, her badge a shield,
Yet her thoughts betray what her heart conceals.
Thick thighs shift, her breath runs thin,
She fights the storm that stirs within.
