Stronger Than Hate
Hate is powerful The cause of much suffering Love is tenacious * Thank you for reading. Author's Note - Okay, so technically nothing got posted on the 6th day of the year. However, that was out of my control and besides there was a couple of days I posted more than one piece, so I still feel I'm keeping to my plans for "a post a day".

The Existential Crisis Extramarital Affair or That Time I Was Richard Gere!
Waking up topless, my vision is bleary Feeling both tired and rather weary I'm lying on top of a soft hotel bed When I should be asleep at home instead

In Dreams
In dreams, I am free To be whatever I want When awake, I'm not. - While working on some content, I had a little burst of creativity outside the subject I was writing about.

The January Sky
January blue sky With crisp low temperatures Welcome to Scotland - Haiku time. So, in an effort to keep on track with posting something every day of the month (and year potentially), I decided to take inspiration from a recent Vocal Challenge and the view from my window. Maybe it's a cop-out by choosing a short poem, but a post is a post and this is all part of my experimentation and growth as a writer.

My Bloody Beating Heart
If you took my beating heart out of my body, Still connected, and working, but clearly visible You would see, the signs would be tangible

Gillian Anderson and I
My dream begins with me lying in a strange bed, So many thoughts are running through my head, Someone is beside me - naked, hot and wet

Untitled 1 (Wasted Life)
I wonder often, why you chose to be you, There were so many other things you could do, Those people you could have chosen to be instead

Goodnight, Nonna, Goodbye, One of The Main Link To My Family
My Nonna died on January 21st, 2021. Really, she had led a busy life full of many great rewards. She had six amazing children (sadly two had passed away before she died) and a plethora of grandchildren. She was a firm but fair, stern but loving Italian woman who despite moving to Glasgow when she was younger had never really kicked her Italian accent.

Unexpected Villain of the Piece. Top Story - May 2022.
When I was younger, I always felt I would be the good guy, the hero in my life story. I think most people do? No one really wakes up one day and thinks “I am going to be the villain”. Even Mega Mind decided to be bad because he tried so hard to fit in and then felt everyone was against him because he was a blue kid with a big head and who seemed to be quite clumsy.
