Your words will change others lives
that's the beauty of poetry...
regardless of our motives
when we share ourselves,
intimate parts of ourselves,
people are drawn by the brave
and courage is shared like the common cold.

The disease of the mind that we were gifted cannot be cured,
but helps the clear thinker,
the empty mind see a world beyond their own, and brings theirs back into focus.

Everything i write even and comment becomes a poem..
i cannot hold back
i cannot control the words,
only the count limits my flow and then i stop and draw a blank at the most inconvenient time,

I'm almost there.
I sound and feel like u,
my words echo your rhythm,
i feed off of your power and seduction,
as it melts from the page i absorb every drop,
luxuriantly drinking u in like golden dew your erotic verbs you have altered me for but moment.
Then i am me again.

What is This?




What is this...
What is this that renders men afriad
What is this power that conquers oceans and time
That tortures the soul and pitys mens hearts
Drink men drink! And be full
Heady with her scent -- over wrought by her passion
What of her , what of this ache, these tears this love
What will temper this pain that leaves men defenceless
If i have to live on with passions fury that i might see your face
Yet a thousand nights.. live on ..i cry... live on!!!!!

ANOTHER POEM

This is a personal poem i recorded it because i entered it into a competition. This is about my mother.




Chicken soup
I remember her standing over the stove her hair piled into a loose bun, tumbling around her face.
The smell of chicken fat filling the house with despair.
I remember the pride in her face as she handed us our bowls of chicken soup.
I remember our fear.
I remember her smile and how it would light up her face.
I remember how she walked through a room how beautiful she looked as she floated thro.
I remember her laugh and how everyone laughed when they were with her, every one except me.
I remember when she made me my first snowball, how sweet it tasted and how grown up I felt.
I remember seeing her in bed with a bottle of wine and throwing it at her in anger.
I remember packing my bags then the car ride to the coach station.
I remember feeling alone and afraid.
I remember asking her if she loved me and the silence that followed, before she whispered “of course I do”. her telling me that she loved me even if it meant that she could never show it.
I remember the last time I saw her, she looked thro me like I wasn’t there.
I saw her look at you the way I always wanted her to look at me, with a mothers love and tenderness.
To tell me I was the daughter she has always wanted.
I close my eyes and pretend that look was for me.

POEM TIME

I Write alot of poetry and decided its time to inflict it on you my loyal readers lol..

KIND WORDS

I woke this morning afraid of the day, unable too move,
Staring at the sun soaked trees, how can a day so warm and gentle hold so much apprehension?

Your voice carried on the breeze, warm and comforting whispered to me,“our day is but a journey to the night, a place were we can dream”.

BELOVED

To long a day does dawn, I cannot keep longing for my loves sweet touch.
Night brings release till dreams lay bare my tortured soul.
Within layers of consciousness I do breathe a sigh, trembling at anticipations door.
Beauty! Seduction! Love! who temps my soul with promises turned to lies?
Anguish strokes my neck, lingering, haunting my heart, a thief stealing my tears meant for joy.
Bring this sadness to a close, show your fears and anxious sorrow will no longer crouch at your door.
A heart to weak to show the light I will guard and hold as mine for all our lives.

FINISHED PAINTING

It is my goal to do a painting a week, this is my first painting. It was a fun one to get out all my little quirks, and get over my fear of painting. I find doing one that isnt that serious and allows me to be more free, enables me to be more serious in my next painting. I found a new style that i can do easily while doing this. If you look at the skyscrapers and tea cups this is new for me. The black and grey pattern is something i often repeat in doodles. It took me a while to remember it!

Charlotte


There are some people that you are invisibly tied too. Family is the obvious one, but within that circle there are certain ones that even 1000 miles cannot separate that bond you feel.

We grew up in twos my sisters and I.. It wasn't planned but that's how it worked out. We all had a playmate to play with. My playmate and personal tormentor was born 1year and 5 months after myself. Her name Charlotte Rose Augustine Purcell. C.R.A.P lol a hidden warning maybe.

On a serious note, she is one of the most amazing women i know, and here's why. Apart from the continual teasing, she had the mouth and i had the fists. I was never fast with the comebacks so being older and bigger I would pounce when no one was looking. It never deterred her even from a young age she was tough and fearless.

Both of us having left home at a young age, 15 and 16 we stuck together.
It was the two of us for a few years moving from one place to another. It was while working in London Charlotte met the Lee, the father of her children and partner of 13yrs.. Honestly that was hard thing for me to accept. It had been us for past few years and now i was alone. I blamed him for taking her away from me. I was unsupportive and it caused a divide between us for a while, something i really regret. Lee has been a continuing support, loyal partner and amazing father to his 3 children.


Dispite all the hardships she has endured she has 3 beautiful children, and now studying to be Midwife at University. I am so proud of her. She has this amazing zest for life and turns heads when she turns enters a room. She is a beautiful strong women who doesnt realize how amazing she is.. She has this deep seated care of people and feels others pain. She has lost friends to death and turned those feelings into a positive doing a 5k run for Cancer Research called Race for Life, in memory of her friend Rachel. She has stood up for mistreatment of others when working in a Care Home and continues to be the centre of our family.



I no longer see her as only my little sister, but as a strong role model and woman whom i look up to and can only hope to have the strength she has. I know you do not feel strong, but look back and see were you have come from and how far you have come..

I love you and im so proud of you.

  7. Its a good thing being refined, i always ask to be refined, i admit i didn't think i had so much more to come.. i must have allot of rough edges!

Cup Cake Heaven

CUPCAKES


This blog is for Amanda McCoy. Amanda's dream is own her own cup cake parlour. When i was in San Francisco i stumbled across a little cup cake shop. It was very simple in decor and didnt have much variety but it was sweet and made me happy to see. Its in Ghirardelli Square. Just around the corner from the Cup Cake Pantry (im testing out which sounds better in the title with cup cake) is a little coffee shop, it was so cute, maybe a over done but the style is just what a Cup Cake Cafe should be. Well my idea of what Amanda's Cup Cake Pantry should look like. ( im liking Pantry so far)
Here are some pictures of the Cup Cake Shop and the one next door..


These Cakes are super cute. This was it tho, the decor was brown and cream and very simple.. Now here is some really cute decor! Kara's Cupcakes

Very cute website check it out!



This is called the Crown and Crumpet its a tea room and if simplified a little would be ideal as a Cupcake Parlor. Crown and Crumpet check out the website.



Lydias visit - San Francisco





Apologies for leaving it so long before i have blogged. Lydia my sister is here visiting and we are having lots of fun. Its great having a little of home here, the laughs and the lows.

We went to San Francisco and had a blast, we rode on the trollys, ate Ice Cream Sundae's at Garidelli's and had amazing Clam Chowder at Fishermans Grotto. We had Cocktails at Hotel Monaco! a great whimsical Hotel that is one of Aarons Favorite places to stay and eat, we a
re hoping to stay there soon or at least for our First anniversary.





Fisherman's Grotto, Full of really fresh fish and great food.









This is Lydia's new friend lol...




Harriette this is for you.. A genuine Corn Dog, me thinks Aaron might have have been a bit mustard happy, as Lydia said "any corn dog with that mustard"





This is us riding the trolly, I had always wanted to do it the way you see in movies hanging on as it whizzes up the street, carefree and full of joy. Well it seems that everyone had the same idea, when they opened the gate people ran to get the standing positions! lucky im faster than them and secured some spaces. Coming from london i can shove with the best of them. However i ended up sharing a spot made for one, and ended up haning on for dear life the whole journey. I may look happy in the picture as that was the begining of the ride but i wasnt at the end, my wrists hurt, my back hurt from being twisted. its not as pleaseureable as it looks... maybe thats the moral in life Nothing is as enjoyable as it seems espically on tv.
