I just started writing .......
hidden from view profiles & covers are we all fake or is it just fantasy ? turned on or switched off, or over, like controls on an old TV passwords & ID friends  3 / 500 or 2052 maybe ....... lonesome ? or free, fuelled, connections made but never touched,

Why is there a little boy lying on the beach? Washed up. Lifeless. All for a new life too far to reach? Why is there a little boy lying on the beach? Terrorists Heartless. What happened to the human rights we all preach? Why is there a little boy lying on the beach? Traffickers. Gangs. Displacing people no home and no speech. Why is there a little boy lying on the beach? A son. No future. We hang our heads and weep!

The little Boy on the beach
Mother loves, nurtures, feeds & cares, Father protects - his home he shares. Sister & brothers we eventually shed in exchange for friends and lovers, dancing together, love, fight, work, we unknowingly guide one another. Moving swiftly through our lives the dance speeds up an increasing tide. Driven on beyond our control, fate chooses for us new patterns, new steps, quick steps, slow ..... & like the seasons, ....... those familiar colours, beats, harmonies, for whatever reason, quietly slip away to begin again a brand new day..... elsewhere. Just as shiny Pebbles tossed upon an open shore, we sit and await our new  direction, then as if by magic once again our hands are taken as he or she commands our gaze,  they're born fresh faced and ready to rock n' roll - and if were lucky lift us gently from our once murky lonesome hole .

The dance ....
What is the meaning ? why am I here ? childless, loveless & free .... I don't want that it just has to be me Born & immediately expected to die .......... a living medical miracle riding high. 50yrs on, One paw in front of another, I'm still marching on, still marching on, marching on, marching on, & on & on. What's my purpose ? what's your plan ? I keep starting over & shedding new skin, like a Chameleon lost in a cold desert. An underachiever was what I was told .......... Politely removed from the education system. Too creative. Too much of a responsibility. A liability. A tie A problem Junior me ..... Escorted to school, from the class room I sat and watched whilst others played below in the play ground, I rarely ever played out. Never naughty...... how could this be when ........ constantly tethered, my freedoms was severed. In my room - the chaos erupted rage whipped like broken china raining round my little heart. why could I not be like everyone else, I scream, why did I have to be me !

Invisible me ....
I went to find the world today but the world was busy So I walk, alone, I walk ........ alone Walking with my dog, rosie red berries, caught, my eye, glistening ripe in the midday sun as I trot on by, birds chattering in the hedges, the warm air gives a hint of spring in early Autumn. Sky big & blue, silence & stillness, 17yrs ...... Seventeen balloons, pink paper, cake & candles, family frolics & fun !! So much fun !! I feel so alone, just numb, ............ they may as well be talking Chinese, excuse me if you will, please? Solitude - embrace it. Who needs anything or anyone ? Heavy heart ......... I am one of the unwanted. Difference makes a difference., you cannot mould that. I sit and stare ............. no one is there, to laugh, to cry, so I just stand by & give in to the silence

One Sunny Day ....
Busy busy busy, always on red alert, your the cheekiest little flirt. Eyes dark as the night & hair so fair. I have known you now since just over one year ago. You take me to the limit, you take me to the edge, full on determination,  causing me much strife ..... what can I do? what should I do ? ...... I do love you ........ when your tired at night, lifeless limbs give up the fight. Your snuggled up tight & everything seems just right. A breathing ball of warm delight. Tingle Tangle Tango Quango, sweet as a ripened mango Cunning as a fox Black eyes peeking through ginger/fair locks. Cheeky Scampering,darting, running, hiding, jumping, bouncing through the dunes, splaaaaaaaashing through puddles muddied caked paws, my four legged furry friend who loves her cuddles. Your the cheekiest little chimp & everyones friend darting to & fro, your wild running loose & free forever searching out the tip of an endless horizon. My little buddy, I must let you go ....

Operation Tango
.... warm and cold, this world hurts, cuts, stings & burns till your on your knees, an oil sodden bird nursing a punctured soul. Hand shy tired & broken my world has become a wreck, a fractured carcass of scattered & shattered dreams. I look up, reach out, to an ocean of people, ..... nevertheless I am drowning. Stolen heart & short of breath, wearing a smile but its folly I'm clowning. One slip, I trip, I tip, I fall, like Alice spiralling into that long dank hole. To be reborn, shut away, its dark & damp .... I see no evil here, nothing - dumb & innocent as a velvet vole. **** this world of Health & Safety 'They' hold the key - I need to be free !!! precious hours slip through my paws, like grains of sand trickling slowly through this dreary landscape of my life. Abandoned toys strewn from this caged cot called home. Spangled desires, dangled & strangled, thrown up on the sand storm, discarded by fates hand please, someone take my hand ? and guide me through this dark n' peppered land.

When the wind blows ...
- deep fish swimming through & inside me, touch me with your soft delight. I wait in the cool stillness., eager to bite. Slippery words, cryptic messages, riding ******** on the wings of a starless dark night, so near .... so far ...... your just of sight. Midnight fishing, the moon quivers & shivers as the river is glistening, tangerine, green & yellow phosphorescent flecks darting to & fro. Coi ? - no ....... a boot, a ******* a banker, a ****** ..... will I ever thank her, might you one day bring me an ocean of joy

I know your frustration your choked isolation a damaged bird whose feathers - cut n' clipped a fractured body constrained a wild living soul sliced n' pierced, stripped to the chore, heavy you display emotions so raw .... you fought hard, cried hard, raged ! & loved. with acceptance as your friend eventually fate found its way. Serenity pulled you through beautiful spirit, compassionate & brave at such a young age you went to your grave. Inspirational lady - my teacher, mentor & guru Frida Kahlo
