Reluctantly opening my eyes
Dare I lift the cover yet?
The room is spinning
I hope this is the worst it will get
As the day goes on
Fragments of memories of last night return in a haze
No wonder my heads in a daze
Drinking that old friend Rum and Coke,
Getting kissed on the cheek by some bloke
Dancing to soul and motown
In a packed room, getting down
Going home
catching the end of Jool's Holland Hootenanny
feeling like my head's full of foam
setting the smoke alarm with cremated toast
welcome to two thousand and thirteen
it certainly started full of win
even though today I just want to sleep
I'm happy to have some drunken fun memories to keep
Happy new year everyone
I hope your hangover isn't as bad as mine
but I'm sure this year will be mighty fine.

Moving towards 2013
another year, another end of year/beginning of next year blog!
Well I still didn't finish editing my novel I wrote in 2010, so that will be continued in 2013! I carried on writing a few pieces for websites, I did my first 'in person' interview this year with my favourite band Robots in Disguise! I also wrote a few book reviews. I wrote a few poems but not that many. I couldn't do NaNoWriMo this year due to moving house.
so in 2013, my writing goals are:
To finish that Novel at last!
To do more creative writing like poetry and stories
To write up any old writing I've got and finish anything I started but didn't finish
To write another zine as I didn't manage to write any this year.
To be a recognised name when it comes to writing.
To continue doing writing prompts once a week and to post the results.

A Rather Inspired weekend
3 poems written this weekend!
on friday...(19/10/12)
a small wish
I need the words back
the words I used to know
please bring them back to me
so holy and free
please help me to see
what's right in front of me
it's there all along
just learn the words to the song
beautiful words
where have you been
it's been so long
there's still more
it's hidden at the core
your base core
needs to identify
needs to verify
pen to paper
let it flow
let it go, let it out
you know it's in there
just set it free
on saturday 20/10/12
Goddess
Breathe in, Breathe out
Goddess in, Goddess out
within and without
round and about
the Goddess breathes as we do
In and out
inside out, upside down
it doesn't matter which way we look
you won't find her presence in a book
she's in you, she's around you
searching your soul
making you whole.
Breathe in, Breathe out
Goddess in, Goddess out
Let's not forget our connection
as we search for the answers
to our soul seeking questions
she is I, and she is you
she is the sky, she is the sea
she is the spirit inside of me
come, won't you see
this mystical union is free
Goddess in, Goddess out,
I have no doubt.
Sunday (21/10/12)- Inspiration
Standing at the pearly gates
but this isn't Heaven
this is the blank, blank sheet
staring at me, teasing me
waiting for me to fill it
with juicy words
perhaps even men with swords
fairies, angels, vampires or even just ordinary people
waiting for me to direct their narrative
But I'm struggling to open the gate
and the page remains white
no words seem quite right
the lines blur
as thoughts start to occur
letters begin to form
and a new life is born.
The gate has been unlocked
and all I had to do is knock
the words have returned
like a long lost friend
what was once broken, is now on the mend
welcome back
I promise this time, I won't give you the sack.

Wake up and smell the coffee
Wake up and smell the coffee
you aren't as sweet as toffee
it's all in your head
what they said
you took it upon yourself to take it the wrong way
didn't listen to the words they say
never giving their opinions the light of day
isn't it time
you stopped this mime
realised that you've commited a moral crime?
smell the coffee
stop being so bossy
lighten up
and join the club
attempt at a writing prompt 9/9/12

Stop and Stare
We have no time to stand and stare
Life is busy and hectic
No time to stop and care.
Eat, Work, Sleep
24 hours goes past in a blur
Leaving you in a shattered heap
then the cycle starts again
Eat, Work, Sleep.
No time to work on that tan
Money makes the world go round
or so some people say
Forever in that same old circle, bound.
But if we never stop
what do we miss?
Singing and dancing to Blitzkrieg Bop?
The lust and passion of that great kiss?
Break the cycle
Get on that bicycle
Stop and explore
Don't just ignore
Life is beautiful
so take the time to stop and stare.
