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.

The Thorns of Love

Erase, erase
And lock away the thoughts of you.
Withdraw the offered arm
And shiver, standing proud
Old Harry Rock against my sea.

Collapse, collapse
Pull away supports from you.
Flush juvenile habits, touching dreams
That warm your nights and cool the morn.
The thorns of love around my rose.

Destroy, destroy
And mute the words I brought to you.
Force silent nights of charity wasted
In callous song, huddled round
Dying embers of my fire.
