Siem Reap and Kampot, Cambodia: Before I write about my trip to Angkor Wat on day 30, I’m skipping forward, as I feel I need to share with you the struggles of the last few days, mainly because the taste is still bittersweet and the feelings evoked on days 31 and 32 are still raw; … More Days 31 and 32 in South East Asia – It’s Not Always Sunshine and Lollipops
In the grand scheme of things, eighteen days is not a long time, however a lot can be done if you use that time wisely. I used to squander my eighteen day annual leave period when I was in the fire service by spending most of my time drunk or hungover. Eighteen days in Vietnam … More Day 18 in South East Asia – Reflections on Vietnam
When I first arrived in Broome in March 2017, I was ignorantly unaware of the importance this little town played in the growth and development of modern Australia. Unique in its setting, miles from nowhere – miles from anywhere – it could be mistaken for just another coastal town in WA. But Broome is far … More Broome Cemetery
I met a boy about two years ago now and fell for his wit and charm. We didn’t know one another, we hadn’t conversed but I knew, I felt all the alarms. When we finally spoke, my head was a flutter, heart racing, palms sweaty, mumbled words I did utter. He played it cool, nonchalant … More I fall in love too easily
While I’m lacking in content of substance and swimming in self doubt, don’t shrug me off or cast me aside, for I’m trying to figure things out. I don’t hold the answers to all of my questions and they seem to be piling high, the what if’s and how’s and when’s and where’s, it’s enough … More Don’t write me off
There has to be more to life than this; to sit in a cage, in a tank, in a pond, and work for a man with whom you have no bond. To monotonise your weeks, your years and your life for a suffocating slavery of struggle and strife. You work, you come home, you eat … More More Than This
Can’t you see the love in my eyes? Look closer. Can’t you see past this feeble disguise? Look closer. Can’t you see the passion that simmers in the depths of my being, that haunts me, that glimmers? Look closer. Can’t you see my wanton my desire? Look closer. Cant you see I’m burning with fire? … More Come Closer
If we met in the night like passing ships, then sailed by again to catch another glimpse; If we shipwrecked ourselves upon the shore, stranded together like never before; If our short precious time was filled with fun; lessons and experiences, my trust you won; If I could stay but chose to leave, to follow … More Like Ships In The Night
What will happen when day meets night, And night meets day on the other side? The vast mountains and rolling hills, The rumbling jungles, silence instills, The never ending ocean and dipping tides, The connection felt between you and I. Along the horizon a new tale unfolds, Crashes of light and colours so bold. Sounds … More Dreaming of the World and You.
As I appear to have been neglecting my blog recently in begrudging and reluctant favour of participating in full time work; a job I care little for and wish I could walk away from but cannot as the financial catch 22 situation prevents me from doing so, I’ve been channeling my creativity and writing into … More Close Your Eyes
