WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

Coffee, rain and the future before us

Coffee in the rain as the barges pass
And the river gurgles slowly by
Coffee and and a pot of tea,
We push the boat out, you and I.

Ravens drop from dripping boughs
Talons splash in gravel pools
They scream their throaty cackles
As the air around us cools.

Night pulls its curtain over the sky
And stars like popcorn burst awake.
You stand and move inside
I follow, always in your wake.

The light goes on behind your eyes
As you silence the light beside the bed,
Fearful in your symmetry
As tigers growl within your head.

I am a man made up of smiles
The night is ours to tame or let roar
Hand in hand we make our future
Yours and mine and nothing more.
