Day 60 in SE Asia – Hanging Out My Arse But Still Radiating Light

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Last night at the closing of the Ubud Village Jazz Festival I’d had a blast; admittedly I’d drank far too much (mixing my drinks never serves me well) and hadn’t got much sleep, but I’d had a blast and wouldn’t have changed it for the world. However, today was pretty much a … More Day 60 in SE Asia – Hanging Out My Arse But Still Radiating Light

Day 56 in South East Asia – Ubud, You’re My Medicine

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” Charles Bukowski I remember it so fondly, my little go to place: a natural spring beneath the rice fields, a river in all its grace; where two years ago I ran to, my mind then clear and bright, free from the confusion that now … More Day 56 in South East Asia – Ubud, You’re My Medicine

Day 46 in SE Asia – Distancing Myself to Prevent Inevitable Hurt

Takeo Province, Cambodia; Even though today we technically had another day off, Gold Coast and I spent some time sorting through the storage room. The amount of donated materials and leftover ‘stuff’ we found in there was frustrating, and frankly sickening. We found hundreds of toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste…lots of medication and surgical instruments…spare … More Day 46 in SE Asia – Distancing Myself to Prevent Inevitable Hurt

Day 45 in South East Asia – Hitchhiking, Swimming and a Proper Decent Meal

Let’s have a little chat about dating, shall we?

Now, before we even start, I’m no dating expert and I am definitely not a serial dater; in fact, my dating back catalogue is pretty pathetic and my track record, well, there isn’t really one.   And that’s quite worrying, as dating in 2016 is pretty confusing, and hard, especially if you’re just not into … More Let’s have a little chat about dating, shall we?

Come Closer

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

The Wall

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

The Truth Hurts

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
