I can bear(in life)
If you care

I can take(You)
If you give

I will try(To praise)
If you allow

I will buy(anything)
If you want

I will cry(for you)
If you leave

Love is unlimited..
I am charging it every time
With fresh and good thoughts of you
I may miss you
I may lose you
But you will be forever
In golden palace
Framed with your thoughts
In my heart
Love is not limited edition...
I´m just an expert
in letting nice things go.
- w.a.j.
Leaving me like a
Sun in the night
Leaving me like a
Moon in the dawn
You sunk my soul
In the ocean bed
Now I am just a body
Missing my soul
No where I can see it
Only chance
You had the key to
Release my soul
Which was deep rooted
As you caught it
When it came for you
Locked it, a long ago
Save my body
From dying and
Becoming a corpse
Looking for your help
To save myself.
#soulless without you
#meaningless without you

Pals posting photo's of culinary creations on Facebook,

a hand to mouth existence.

In Scotland, half the people in poverty are working families
struggle to survive day-to-day and the basics of food to live
being asked to work longer hours for less money
while the politicians say they have nothing more to give
and the "Queen talks about austerity while wearing a £1 million hat"
(I'll thank Frankie Boyle for his razor sharp insights on that)
and Im in the queue for the food bank;
a hand to mouth existence.

Contrary to common misconception it doesn't always rain in Scotland.
This week its been 26 degrees, and Glasgow is awash in t-shirts and shorts, and beer gardens with bees. Cold beer never looked so refreshing.
West Enders in their top-down convertibles extolling the virtues of organic produce from Peckhams and their exclusivity price-point gourmet cheeses,
and Im in the queue for the food bank;

For some odd reason I am atuned to rain.
I might be sleeping, working,  in a windowless room,
But some how I just know when it's about to rain,
I can smell it in the air, the dampness,
The aroma of moisture building up in the clouds,
Mounting up to one big expenditure as rain,
I can sense it. The rain is tangeble, yes, but to me,
The smell just before is tangable as well.
I smell worms on the sidewalks, squirmy and slimy,
I smell the mossy trees and the wet ferns,
Just before the first drops splash down upon them.
I get a whiff of the preluding aroma and it's entrancing.
The smells bring images of rain and storms, and with it,
A sense of happiness and calmness.
Rain washes away the filth and the grime,
It allows the Earth to be reborn again.
That whiff is all it takes,
To bring a smile to my face.
