So here I am...
Here I will be...

Writing as I often do. Today I am focussing on Novel in works 1, it is quite the story. It is about Angels, specifically 2. ArchAngel Lucifer and ArchAngel Michael, add in a detective and a well meaning psychopath and BANG you got a story...

I wish that writing novels was as easy as poetry. I can write a poem about anything, but novels...Argh...I struggle. That is probably why I have 5 going at once. I can get to 20,000 words easily enough, but then I begin to slow down. I think it might be mental...because I am mental...LOL...

Wish me luck, going for 5000 words...phew.

Puddle

That puddle seems to be growing,

I stare into it knowing.

Ah, those hopes and dreams,

Not as much as it seamed.

Broken in part by me,

Broken in pieces I see.

I stare at those ripples,

As the water trickles.

It grows too quick I fear,

This puddle made by tears.

So I will give you some info on this poem. I have always liked it, the flow and sad imagery. I wrote this shortly after my separation from my ex-wife. I went through quite the self pity phase (probably still in that phase...lol). I have written thousands of poems, most of them on the depressing side. I am a writer that is fuelled by heartache and pain, but writing helps remove bad feelings. It is like I transfer them to paper. I think many of us are the same.

Peace n Love!

the Little Angry Bald Man

Anger and I have never seen eye to eye. I was known for having no temper to speak of. This changed with my separation. I had never felt such anger before and to be honest still do, even after 4 years. I guess that it is the catalyst that opened up the flood. Emotions, I take them seriously. I love to be in love, I love to be happy, or even sad. I love the sensation of emotions, not matter which emotion it is, but Anger I am not too sure about.

I do not get physical but I can get quite mean verbally, really only to my ex-wife. It is something I have to control and not allow to overtake me. It is hard because i am not as in tune with it as my Ex-wife....lol.

Deep breaths help and of course my Mantra....
