Welsh Born in Wales, lived there, before moving away to university down in London. Loves everything to do with the theatre, and although currently works in the backstage profession, enjoys performing onstage too.
Another year has come and gone, Your also year older (but don't tell anyone). Take what is past and throw it to the wind, What's done is done, a new cycle begins. Embrace each moment with a hidden gem inside, As in days to come who knows what you might find. Although some storms may blow, And fires may go out, You hold the key now, So never shut it out.

Another Year is over
Merry Christmas one and all, I hope you all have a ball. Enjoy the spirit of festive cheer, That only comes once a year. And so now switch on your tree lights, As soon it will again be night. Do not overindulge on the turkey this year, Think of the extra weight you've to clear. Open your gifts, all special to you, As you are very special too. I hope all your wishes and dreams come true, But for now, I bid you all adieu.

Festive thoughts
In the depths of this despair, Comes a glimmer of shinning hope, As memories floor that emptiness, And feelings gather, hard to cope. The cold hardness softens, And love bubbles gently afloat, As ticking clocks start to stop, Through years of lost notes. "A cheeky little smile", That's what you wrote, As we sat there apart, Easily your best quote. But those days have gone, All seem so now remote, As I say goodbye to those memories, A lump in my throat.

"A cheeky little smile"...
I cannot help but wonder, why am i here? To do this task a million times, for god knows how many years! I cannot help but wonder, as i sit and think aloud. Why on earth did i join up, to be abused and cursed in a muddled crowd. I cannot help but wonder, why do you abuse me so? When all i do, is do as you ask, yet you make me stoop so low. And now i sit here and wonder, and no longer wonder aloud, And watch my thoughts turn to stone, as i disappear into the crowd.

disappear into the crowd
one final push was all it took, to turn that twisted key, that unlocks the hole that i now jump into, bottomless to eternity

bottomless to eternity
A million more miles couldn't fill this space I feel. Alone, cold, and afraid. I miss you. It seems like another year passes by instead of a day before I see you again. Counting down those long nights, that restless sleep. If I could cross the space of the Earth for you I would. I would never not do anything for you. No matter how many brick walls I hurl too, No matter how many drinks to sleep I must swallow, I miss you. And await the long day to see you once more.

I miss you
The emptiness of the page can grow far and wide. As far as the road grows further away from home. That sweet air that only freedom knows. The battering weather a fruitful reminder of home. Echoing hollowness in my chest, reminders of longing. Home. A place of peace. A place where you live.

Hollowness of home
Like a ball of glass, being thrown by children, The heart can take so much. The small child that is always stuck in the middle, Strangely familiar, trying to take back what's theirs. Wild eyed, fearful, Wishing they hadn't brought it out into the playground. The big bullies laugh gleefully, menacingly, Growing like shadows on a stormy night. Intimidating, misunderstood, Always knowing the laugh is never on them. Then the vultures of gold, phones and hair extensions, Feasting on the ugly duckling through their masks of paint. Adapting, leering, The chain where you are always the weakest link. But that person who throws the stone, Releasing the heart from the ice tomb. Different, unique, Your friend.

Heart of broken glass
Dropping a glass, its nothing much to you, only pick up the pieces and no one will ever know the damage had been done Dropping an event, its nothing much to you, only make a few phone calls and no one will ever know your presence had never been Dropping a call, its nothing much to you, only check a friends mood and no one will ever know you told them something Dropping a friendship, its nothing much to you, only say a few false words and pick up another tomorrow, whilst leaving the other to pick up the glass pieces, dropping the planned happy event, desperatly waiting for that call knowing that this friendship will never be fixed, so you are left, to pick up the broken pieces

These Broken Pieces
Straight and crowded are lined the walls of white decay Through sickness and in health do we too stand here and wait For better or worse, the latter seeming only to often Silent and still, crowded and hushed, another wheeled by Black demons stand shoulder to shoulder with empty hearts Muttering those words which lift the uncompleted soul away We think these places are here for help, not for sadness But littering this country, there they stand, never empty
