Thanx KajiMa... I'm quite proud of this one. It's the first one that I feel compelled to put music to. I think it describes some very positive emotions and that is something I haven't felt for some time. I'm not sure the rest is at this standard... They are a lot of drivel about again emotional subjects! They are on this topic here if you can find them.

Thankyou for your comments :-)

It's been 4 months and my strings are still buzzing.... They do it when my brother plays it too.... I am thinking it is the guitar, not me now! That's Good and bad all at once!

I was in hospital recently and the nurse called me 'young lady'

How I cringed! I'm 28... Too young to take that as a compliment, too old to not feel patronised! I understand where you are coming from! xxx

Oh no! Is he ok?xx

I'm sure this is a common problem so I'm certain you will have some memory tricks!

I have no problem remembering lyrics but remembering the chords is sometimes a challenge. Most of the time I can hear the key in my head and guess correctly but I occassionally get it wrong! A lot of the songs I like to play have an Em and a D... These are my main problem, I get them terribly mixed up and make an awfull sound! Got any advice for 'Sieve for brains' here!?! xxx

Strans,  That was beautiful... I have tears in my eyes. I agree with what Phil said... The description was so brilliant...

You reminded me of my Granny's description of the German Occupation and how as a child she used to tell me stories about how kind the German soldiers were to her. They gave her sweets and took her to see their Christmas tree because her family didn't have one.

These kind of images always 'get me'

Thankyou for sharing that. xx

I shared an amazing moment with a very dear friend this weekend. Those of you who have read my writings are probably aware that I have been through some experiences that have left me faced with adversity(now there's a good word!). This song is about a friend who probably doesn't realise how much they have helped me to not be afraid anymore.
It reads like a love poem (although I am working on putting this to music... maybe my first masterpeice!) but it isn't an 'I'm in love with you' poem... It is a 'I love you' poem... By 'feelings' I am describing how I feel in myself about certain things and I have opened up and discussed these feelings! I know what I mean! hahaha! xx

The moonlight reflects in the depths of your eyes,
as the shadowing trees offer somewhere to hide,
Because what I'm feeling is caused by the night,
and moonlight allows me to dream without fright.

Underneath the yellowing moon,
Where grasshoppers sing,
Whilst the ladybirds swoon,
Silvery Seas are thrashing a tune,
and I cannot keep my feelings from you.

By the light of a moonbeam we're drawn to this place,
we looked at the stars as we pondered space,
My fear for the darkness has left with no trace,
Because here with you I feel blessed with true grace.

Now that you're gone and I am still here,
I am just thankfull that I had you near,
I see that darkness once filled me with fear,
But beauty's in moonlight that makes pathways clear.


Your thoughts would be welcomed! xxx

Hi Peeps! Long time no see.... Sorry!

So, I would like something new and inspiring to listen to. Most of you know I am really into the country and folk thang!  What would you recommend!?!

How are you all by the way?!xxxxx

That is the link... I don't think it is a comercial site although I'm not sure!? If it is you can remove it!xx

Why does she put up with it?
He does nothing
Nothing worth rejoicing.
Why should she endure this?
He sits on his behind
Whilst she washes and irons.

How can she get out of it?
He sums up this deal
All of her money poured into his home.
Will she ever like this life?
Maybe when her own son stops hitting her
Leaving bite marks on her arms.

If she left where could she go?
Not many places
With two kids in tow.
So they will stay together?
get married?
Continue arguing, all for their sake.

This is amazing! I love it...

It reminds me of a Poem I read as a child, although it is nothing like it, it affected me equally... I think it was called 'What the Bullet sang' I'm gonna have to look it up now!   Thankyou for sharing that... It was sooo good... It was like you were there!!xx

If you knew what I'd been through, then you would know,
that you cannot change me, and I'd watch you go.
My fear of involvement, cuts you so deep,
Becuase I've been wounded, by too many creeps.

Well now I am happy, and I realise,
all that I wanted, is here by my side.
I do not need saving, I need no hero,
the last thing I need is another grand show.

You can't make it better, you cannot enhance,
the life that I've chosen, you won't get the chance,
to tear it all down, and make it all wrong,
because we are safe and I am too strong.

I know that you're nice, and I think that you're true,
and sure, yes I know I could depend on you...
But I cannot commit, and I think I can't trust,
and I fear all you feel, is attraction and lust.

I laugh and I flirt, but I really can't stand,
the fear that I feel at the touch of your hands.
So why can't you see, you are wasting your time?
If you think you can capture, this cruel heart of mine.

Thankyou for that Phil! Yeah this is about a boy I work with who has ODD... He's really a remarkable chap... But yes sometimes I feel I want to give him a 'kick in the kaboose!' Then I take a breath and think if he didn't do this stuff than I wouldn't have a job!

This is about a lad that I have been working with :-)


If you could only drop the bravado
If you could just stop being so macho
If only you weren't so intrigued by the violence
If you could just get a grasp on your conscience.

Maybe one day you will discover empathy
And then come that day you will no longer need me.
Perhaps when you're older you will join the Army
Perhaps once you're done with acting so smarmy...

I know that underneath all your defences
Is a boy with the most  remarkable senses
And you will do something truely amazing
Once you are done with torment and hell raising.

I know you are feeling so lost and alone
That things are so difficult for you at home
But I want you to know that whatever you do
I want to be here to see it all through...

I'm truely inspired by how far that you've come
and the way you've been treated it makes me feel numb.
But we work with a trust, we came to understanding
being with you each day, yes it can be demanding

You're unreasonable, uncomprimising, and oh so rude
You're impossible when you are in that mood
But I see the vulnerable side of you too
and I want you to know that I'm so proud of you.

I'm quite creative and like making pretty jewellery and faery wings... I secretly obsessed with faeries... They are real!

I also am very involved with alternative therapies and am a qualified Aromatherapist and Baby Massage therapist. I love kids and am a volunteer for a charity that supports families in crisis. I am working full time with children with behaviour problems and ADHD. I'm studying for a degree very late in life so I have been described as a 'mature part time student' and I am a single mum so as you can see... Life is hectic!

I like going out with friends too but lately my confidence has taken a few knocks and I get very nervous in public :-( I'm getting there though... It only took a jug of Pimms Punch and six 'Bodyguards' to make me feel secure last night!

Gosh there are a lot of interesting people in here :-)xxxx

Phil,

That is so beautiful... You made me cry (granted I cry easily but your writing deserved my tears)

It's inspired me to think that maybe one day I would like to experience love like that as opposed to running away terrified everytime somebody looks at me in an appreciative way.

Some people go their whole live NEVER experiencing what you and your wife have. You are both so blessed.  :-)

I have this truely wonderful friend who inspired me to write this.


One in a million.

I met him many years before,
His friendly smile is an open door…
Instinctively I knew I’d like him then.
And we have been acquaintances,
He’s giving and so free to please
An exception of the rule when it comes to men.

So lately things they have been bleak…   
The first time I had felt so weak,
Not knowing which way I should  turn.
People disrespected me,
Left me broken on my knees,
Enjoying every chance to watch me squirm.

But here he is, my loving friend,
With his massive giving heart he mends,
Each part of me that feels it can’t go on.
I’ve never had this with a man,
A companion who understands,
Just what I have needed for so long.

Though he can’t take my fears away,
He sends me sunshine everyday,
And makes me feel that life is worth the risk.
Supportive and approachable,
There’s nothing I can’t broach him on,
I will be ever grateful for this.

Yeah... It's a toughie. We were the 'lucky' ones as I realised he was up to something before he could do anything to her. I know I am strugling with feelings of guilt much more than she is. She just accepts he is gone now. I am on tenderhooks. Will he/won't he  be prosecuted... I suppose it's an adult problem and she is oblivious to all of it. Thank goodness.

It's been a long struggle over the last few years what with everything else but things are looking up. I am a firm believer in what doesn't break you makes you stronger... I try to use my experiences to empathise with others and charity work is really helping me to fullfill this. It's about making a negative positive.   

Thankyou for the support and words of encouragement. xx
