Hello Serenity
Hold my hand
a while
as we fly
our little kite
of multi-coloured
ribboned delight
as we sail
our dreams
into an air
that will care for
and mother them
lead me down
hopeful one-day streams
and dance me through
bluebell fields
help me craft
my own floral crown
put on my
petalled majesty
drench
my soul
in an overwhelming
sense of belonging
softly stamp my wrist with
'joyful participation'
at the door of this club
we affectionately call
Life
Stand with me
a while
reminding me I am
protected by the Universe,
a sky washed with strawberry bonbon,
cotton plants,
and a facial paint box
or three
glow on me
build up my jenga pieces
feed me glee
then
when I have strength enough
to heal my own peach-bruises
bathe me in glitter
and soak me free
and soak me free
and I will smile &
whisper
Hello Serenity.
Hello Serenity.

Sad Little Smile
Innocence is bliss
i did wonder who she was
as i entered those chipped green gates
all those years ago
chesnut waves bouncing
pink school satchel neatly fastened
thirteen years later
i still wonder
staring back at those same eyes
in the glint of a half-filled champagne flute
has anything really changed since walking through?
her hair is paler
and her lips are painted rose
but still
the same bright eyes blink back
vibrant in anticipation
for the world she decrees
Beautiful
the way she looks
through those eyes
seems little different
from what she saw
fifteen summers ago
but how can all this time
have past; certainties flung
into oblivion
hearts torn
achievements stock-piled
and wounds mended-
and her mind be no different?
maybe she was just born
with an old soul
or perhaps
the best eyes to peer from
really are
those of a child.

You humiliate my soul
Patronising
Adj- (used of behavior or attitude) characteristic of those who treat others with condescension, behaving with an air of superiority.
I dare you
I dare you
to make my soul cower
just one more time
I dare you
to make me
in a throw-away moment
forget every kind word ever kissed
in my direction
I dare you
to make me ashamed
to have ever opened my mouth
and allowed words to fall out
I dare you
to package me off
with a pan and a brush
I dare you
to scream until I
attempt to sweep
my own small imploding limbs
and my
even smaller
imploding thoughts
into the
trashthat you decree equates to them
I dare you
to flick me aside
as a thing
which has failed to
inspire or impress you
I dare you to
pepper
my eyes
just one more time
Go on-I fucking dare you.

I am exhausted
and happy. As in, my body is exhausted, but my mind is one alert, sparky mawfucka! I feel as if anything could happen today. And I KNOW anything could happen any day, but we get caught up in routine and forget that, don't we?
I'm drawn to the idea of possibility. Moth to flame scenario, and it's both my downfall and my saving grace, because being aware of so many possibilities will at times utterly devestate me, and at other times, make me feel like I'm Lord of this Dance...
WE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL WORLD, YEAH WE DO, YEAH WE DO
- we really DO though, I've decided. For every terrifying, disturbing thing, there are at least two breath-taking, hopeful things. Things which shake you up and make you pay attention.

Soundtrack to my paused life 1.
Kanye- Runaway
the 35 minute music video made me cry, it's a work of art
Temper Trap- Soldier on
Temper Trap- Soldier on
this song allows me to get into an emotional STATE, but in a positive, after-glow inducing way
Katy B- Katy on a Mission
Katy B- Katy on a Mission
An excellent tune to put your face on to, before heading out for the night..
Rihanna- Fading Away
Rihanna- Fading Away
just soft, easy listening
Temper Trap- Sweet Disposition
Temper Trap- Sweet Disposition
an eternal favourite, this song is silky, one that transports me to summer streams, and strawberries in the baking heat. quite a feat, considering the current chill- ice, and Christmas is in the air.
I'm getting dressed as I type, ready to run into town to pick up a few things, and cradle a hot chocolate until the world demands me back :) Am's just popped into my room, that girl is beautiful, and more than that, good for me. I think I'm unlucky, and then I look at my friends. I'm up there with the luckiest. I ought to count my blessings more often :)

Conceal me in your draw-string bag,
all lily skin, iced heart and plaid.
