After over a year of sharing small snippets on Facebook, so the whole story came to its conclusion. Read throughs, edits and re-writes ahead before even thinking of publication. But so happy to have the first draft over the line.

A dark story of history repeating
A male child, born with no given name, to a mother than cried heavily at the mere sight of him. He was forever a contanst reminder of his father that forcefully planted his seed within her virgin womb before disappearing into the depths of night, leaving her shivering and broken. What chance did this child have when even his mother found the sight of him abhorrent? She couldnt love and nourish him, and so he found himself abandoned to the mercy of whoever could.
He was named Samuel by the elderly woman that would call herself mother, though he refused to accept either. He fought her love, rebelled against the sanctuary of homeliness she’d created for him. The years of his growing were a constant struggle, and yet she refused to abandon him as his mother had. Even when his school refused to educate him she stayed at home in order to school him.
He resented and despised her, and yet with each passing year an infatuation grew within him. There was something within his DNA that compelled him to obsess over being around her at inappropriate times. He would spy through the keyhole as she undressed, and yet would refuse to join her at the table come tea time.
It was upon a random evening late in the year, rain lashing down upon the panes of glass and the occasional flash of lightening illuminating the otherwise dimly candle lit room that he appeared before her as she was in a state of undress.
Instinctively she cowered away, covering any exposed flesh from his unblinking eyes, and yet he reached out and pulled at her night blouse. As she fought his advances, sharp nails scratched her breasts drawing crimson lines across them. Crying in shock and pain she could do nothing as he exposed them, his hands gripping tightly the area directly around the nipple.
As the tears rolled heavily from her heartbroken eyes, and her requests for him to stop went ignored, he forcefully pushed her backwards onto the bed. She knew what was coming next, and yet was unable to stop it. Pain soared through her body as he entered her. Emotionless he satisfied himself within her as she sobbed uncontrollably, her clothes torn and blood flowing from the wounds received as reward for her attempting to resist.
He said nothing as he left. A dark figure disappearing into the depths of night, leaving behind a broken elderly woman whose womb began preparing for the unwanted gift she’d been given.

Brave the Shave = The Results
For those that follow me here on WP know that I love rock and heavy metal, and that I had a full beard with long hair. You will also know that I decided to raise money for Mcmillan Nurses in memory of my late mother who sadly passed away last year.
Well here you go folks, the new less hairier look:
Finding Reason
‘Understanding’
To my left stands an Angel tending to my tears. “What did you do?” she asks soothingly.
On my right a Devil. “It’s not your fault!” he says rubbing my shoulder with his talloned hand.
Like an island isolated by a maddening sea, I stand resolute understanding their words, yet let them fall upon my ear, waves upon a rocky shore.

Her voice in the storm
The wind blew with savage fury
Trees bowing to nature’s violent breath
Their leaves sent in a maelstrom whirlwind
And I couldn’t help but watch them dance
A familiar voice calling on gale
“Do not be afraid.”
So through the raging torrential storm
The rain now bouncing to its own relentless tune
I stood with a certainty and reassurance
Only the sound of her voice could give.

Fact
It’s so true: Everyone had an uncle who tried to steal his or her nose.

Never give up
No matter how many times they tell me she’ll break my heart, or how many times she does, I’ll never give up.
Why you ask?…because I love her

Ice Queen
A frozen land
Cold and untamed
Beyond the reaches
Forgotten by man
Home to a Queen
With chilled heart
Turned barren by denial
Of a would be King
Sailed towards the sun
Abandoning love
Frozen in time
Unrequited and alone

Dream of her
I wake each morning
Searching for her light
But my eyes witness only darkness
As the dream of her begins to fade.

A friend
We all become addicted to that which takes the pain away, even if the cure ends up being a new poison.
If you’re alone,
I’ll be your shadow.
If you want to cry,
I’ll be your shoulder.
If you want a hug,
I’ll be your pillow.
If you need to be happy,
I’ll be your smile…
But anytime you need a friend,
I’ll just be me.
