The reason she leaves and travels the world is ‘cos nobody stole her heart. She wanders and roams the streets all alone ‘cos nobody dared to start. Where is the knight in shining armour, the one who should’ve carried her away? He didn’t appear like the fairytale said, he didn’t ask her to stay. … More The Wall
It’s exactly six months to the day that I arrived back in England, and every day for those last six months I’ve wanted to leave again. I’ve wanted to grab my overnight bag and passport (which sit at the end of my bed by the way, already packed with toiletries and spare underwear) and leave. … More The Six Month Itch
She sits, staring at the sky, her dreams far from the reality she reluctantly embraces. A shooting star passes by, casting light upon unfamiliar faces. Her thoughts dance along the waves, the sand at her feet, warm and loving. In stark contrast she behaves, as if the past were lost and merely nothing. Yet it’s … More Pave Me The Way With Streets Of Gold
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
Music has always been a huge part of my life; it has inspired me, it’s uplifted me, it’s provoked sentimentalism, it’s roused feelings I never thought I could have; it’s made me cry, it’s made me laugh, and it’s also made me cringe. Music has helped me through some bad times, and there are certain … More Searching For Soul But Finding The Blues
They say the truth hurts, but you don’t believe it until you’re actually faced with it yourself. And you know what, it more than hurts, it wretches at your soul; twists it into small, tiny, unidentifiable pieces and then spits it back out. The truth, apart from being a great platform to base your life … More The Truth Hurts
I read a post on elitedaily.com the other day that was entitled: I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Keep Up. Not to discredit the author in any way (who am I to judge a published writer…?) but I didn’t think it was particularly well written and I didn’t think … More I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Support Me.
This week, my blog: chasingamylou, celebrated gaining its 100th follower, so I wanted to say a huge thank you, from the bottom of my heart and also…….YAY TO ME! As a kind of mini-celebration I thought I’d post something a little different, however, writers-block has me stuck in the mud at the moment, struggling to form … More Run Towards Yourself
