In smoky halls where shadows dance,There strides a man with flair and stance.With saxophone in hand, he's seen,Shane Ritchie, the jazz machine. His fingers glide on keys so fine,A melody born from his mind's design.Each note he plays, a tale untold,In his jazz world, he's bold and bold. His voice, a velvet, smooth and low,Sings of love lost and nig…

In childhood's realm, young Barrymore did dwell,A world apart, where trials and hardships swelled.No tender hands to guide him on life's path,Alone he wandered, facing nature's wrath. With naught but strength and grit as his allies,He forged ahead beneath the open skies.No sheltered haven, no familial care,Yet in his heart, a fire burned, aware. Th…

In the spotlight's gaze, Michael Barrymore stood,A figure of laughter, a king of the hood.With charm and wit, he graced the TV screen,A maestro of entertainment, a living dream. His laughter contagious, a gift he shared,A jester of joy, he truly cared.From game shows to variety, his talents unfurled,Delighting audiences, across the wide world. But …

So it goes, dear listener, that among the myriad of things that sets man apart from his animal counterparts is the gift of gab and the mastery of language. To be a man is to be a creature of speech and discourse. The art of conversation holds a significant role in our lives. It can ease our sorrows and afflictions, amplify our delights and jubilati…

Garth meets a priest. Public transport drama. Garth and his friend have a difference of opinion. Exploring the SUBconscious Other things

Your face did not rot like the others—the co-pilot, for example, I saw him yesterday. His face is corn- mush: his wife and daughter, the poor ignorant people, stare as if he will compose soon. He was more wronged than Job. But your face did not rot like the others—it grew dark, and hard like ebony; the features progressed in their distinction. If I…

Love me, use me, Never let me go. Quench this unbearable thirst, this fire in my soul. ... Use me, hate me, ravage me, destroy me, As long as in the end you promise to hold me in your arms and love me. ... Grab my neck and pull my hair only keens and moans will be gotten from there. ... Stroke me like a harp, pluck me like a live wire string. Tight…

The jolt that comes to bonesinside a tumbled streetcar is what the painter considersas she strokes her- self into story. There isless to the jolt that comes as he shuts his eyesbefore the monitor, save what he imagines—a lightningbolt, a god tapping the shoulder. He imagines thesky swelling with ceiling fans or theguano of extinct birds, a jolt rid…

I took my life and threw it on the skip, Reckoning the next-door neighbours wouldn’t mind If my life hitched a lift to the council tip With their dry rot and rubble. What you find With skips is – the whole community joins in. Old mattresses appear, doors kind of drift Along with all that won’t fit in the bin And what the bin-men can’t be fished to …

How little it takes to stain the character. A single drop of ink is a very small thing, yet dipped into a tumbler of clean water, it blackens the whole. And so the first oath, the first lie, the first glass of drink, seem very small things, yet leave a dark stain upon the character. Look out for the first stain.…

When first I came down Yorkshire, Not many years ago. I met with a little Yorkshire lass, And I'd have you know, That she was so blithe, so buxom, So beautiful and gay, Now listen while I tell you, What he Daddy used to say. Oh treat me daughter decent, Don't do her any harm. And when I die I'll leave you both, Me tiny little farm. Me cow, me pigs,…

the clearing was large enough to fit about twelve of your Lion King themed picnic blankets without coming close to the forest’s edge. I thought about bringing you out there and telling you that and then I remembered that you got rid of the blanket 2 months ago when your new boyfriend said that Lion King was overrated and the blanket had too many ho…

A day in Afghanistan is like a week at home. Ross Kemp

An old man going a lone highway, Came, at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are…

Don't Don't do, Don't, do Don't do that. Don't pull faces, Don't tease the cat. Don't pick your ears, Don't be rude at school. Who do they think I am? Some kind of fool? One day they'll say Don't put toffee in my coffee don't pour gravy on the baby don't put beer in his ear don't stick your toes up his nose. Don't put confetti on your spaghetti and…

A rare transcript salvaged from Kallidus - Post cataclysm.

in my mind you are my friend swinging from the buildings that pierce the sky masked in privacy but shining of honesty you know who I am without my mask every night you take off your suit to mend every night I check my suit of pretend diving headfirst to be a part of your story looking from a distance with so much connection I follow you through you…

We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.

Love never goes away, Never completely dies, Always some souvenir Takes us by sad surprise. You went away from me, One rose was left behind — pressed in my Book of Hours, That is the rose I find … Though it’s another year, though it’s another me, under the rose is a drying tear, Under my linden tree …. Love never goes away, Not if it’s really true,…

Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To ple…

The most important thing we've learned, So far as children are concerned, Is never, NEVER, NEVER let Them near your television set - Or better still, just don't install The idiotic thing at all. In almost every house we've been, We've watched them gaping at the screen. They loll and slop and lounge about, And stare until their eyes pop out. (Last w…

In a dim corner of my room for longer than my fancy thinks A beautiful and silent Sphinx has watched me through the shifting gloom. Inviolate and immobile she does not rise she does not stir For silver moons are naught to her and naught to her the suns that reel. Red follows grey across the air, the waves of moonlight ebb and flow But with the Dawn…

In Kallidus, seaside kitsch is uber-cool. Visit and celebrate age-old resort-town traditions – sand beaches, fish, metalwork stalls and shore-side rides, all with a hip new twist. Capture a sunset whilst settled on the steps or a seafront bar, cafe or restaurant.

The weather of Kallidus is governed by winds that blow through the strait from easterly or westerly directions. In summer, the mainly dry season, the wind from the east or ‘levante’ brings warm and humid conditions and generates a rather persistent 'Rock top' cloud that hangs over the city area. Sea fog is not uncommon on these occasions. The weste…

I was crazy To hurl curses I was nasty For all the abuses But now I regret I am at shame For all the troubles I am to blame I promise you I will turn a new leaf Never again, will I ever Give you grief I am sorry

Kurt Vonnegut, also known as Kurt Vonnegut Jr, is an Italian fictional character in the 1883 novel Slaughterhouse 5 by Carlo Collodi.

Who can I blame when everyone is facing ! It will take time But it will always get better When all we need is to be understood Why do we expect an explanation What we ruin is this moment Where this journey is destined isn't a matter When one journey is all we have Who can I blame when everyone is facing !

I sit in the dark freezing abyss Waiting You sip your coffee desperately for warmth like a cub with his mother While I wait I refuse to move, despite the sound coverage of both the wind and machines outside Because I’m waiting Waiting for you And for them A truck approaches the entrance you guard The noise of the engine is beastly I reposition to g…

I don’t think my toilet is happy with me. I know this because it hardly flushes for me anymore. I think it was Taco Bell, And that crunch rap supreme from Hell. I doubt John has ever recovered. I doubt i have either. I wish I had more than one pot in my house. Would likely cause less grief for my spouse. Our schedules are just about the same, And t…

Finished with my woman 'cause She couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things But nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind If I don't find something to pacify Can you help me Occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me The things in life that I can't find I c…

My change: a nickel caked with finger grime; two nicked quarters not long for this life, worth more for keeping dead eyes shut than bus fare; a dime, shining in sunshine like a new dime; grubby pennies, one stamped the year of my birth, no brighter than I from 40 years of wear. What purses, piggy banks, and window sills have these coins known, thei…

You can watch others playing games And that can be lots of fun I claim Watching basketball for some folks is great But some prefer football any day they debate. It's lots of fun for them while they converse and also laugh Some prefer watching baseball any time on their behalf Or watching car racing as they snack and slurp a drink Enjoying good spor…

The last reply you sent i deleted I don't remember what you said Something about blocking me on 'the old socials' I threw my phone through an aquarium The innocent, dot-eyed gudgeon, tried and flailed to enquire 'why? Why me?' I shouted: 'IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL, MATE'

She smiles, I cry. She is outgoing, I am shy. She loves, I am alone. She is amazing, I am unknown. She is beautiful, I am a mess. She is happy, I am depressed. My mask is perfect: She hides me.

Could've been a cowboy but, my arse didn't suit a horse. could've been an astronaut but I wandered off- off course. could;ve been a fireman but, my hose was waayy too short. yeah, I could've been a bank robber but, shit, I would've got my cute arse caught.

I've crossed deserts for miles Swam water for time Searching places to find A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming) A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming) Coming closer to you Ran along many moors Walked through many doors The place where I want to be Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming) Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming)…

They appeared slowly Like stars one by one Vole holes Holes from voles Not a rat, nor mouse, nor mole But a vole Tracks from one hole to another Blades of grass flattened by tiny feet In the dead of night In the light hours, they huddle In dark underground tunnels Dreaming vole dreams Out of sight by the watchful attention Of hawks, owls, and pertu…

He took me to the coast and walked me past The fair, the candyfloss, the arcade games, And then he pulled me playfully Inside the little sea life centre. Dilapidated and unloved But still it teemed with screaming kids. I let him pay, it was a first date after all. And then we entered underwater love, Hand in hand as we travelled deeper, deeper Into…
