43/F/London After my primary school teacher introduced me to the illustrated version of The Highwayman at the tender age of 6, life would never be the same again......
Once around the merry go round Probably you’ll survive One more time for fun and games You’re chances are cut in half Again, again faster and faster You’ve already lost the prize Time falls away lost in array Merrily made you cry Once around the merry go round Probably passed you by Once more you hit the floor Chances are you’ll die

Life Skit
The way you stick out your tongue when you concentrate The way our bodies fit so perfectly Watching match of the day on a sat night Knowing all of your songs and playing them endlessly Watching our son become the best parts of you and me Telling you my dreams before they are lost to me Watching scify movies Battling egos One day you'll see You and me Fit perfectly

Love is....
..............I want to be Guinevere, I want Lancelot, I want a magician and a pack of wolves. I want a wardrobe and a door and a trip to the moon......

When I was young....
I am suddenly aware that my eyes are open, and have been for some time. its dark, quiet. The faint taste of ammonia, seeps into my mouth I feel heavy and unable to move, my body hasn't yet caught up. Fear surrounds me. I am not alone. I am caught somewhere in between..... The rules I follow - that keep me safe, and bound - are lost, purgatorio I have glimpsed the operating system. There is no need for remembering, rewinding. I am completely aware of every detail of the place . A revisit.... A slap in the face of reality. A visit back to a long forgotten place from many many years ago, suddenly completely clear... Back to where I left off. These r the ones that pull me down. , my mind free from creating and ready to explore... Let the games begin. I need the fade out, the short but so Important time it takes to move from dream to reality.... to give your mind time to adjust, slow down. This isn't how it is supposed to be. The fear is becoming intense, I need water to get rid of that taste, that place. To knock me back. But I can't move.

Too deep to scream
Now is the present, a present I choose to ignore. For The moment you are aware of now it immediately becomes the before. Ahead is now happening, while contemplating the before. So if now is before and ahead is now you can see why I choose to ignore.

Timeless
Always remember When the loneliness breaks through That to peer into the darkness Is a gift from me to you The dread is overwhelming It eats into your soul Infecting that tiny part of you That is positive and whole Don't be afraid of who you are Your special cant you see Complexity is your power It connects you to me
