misty watercolour memories

I'm feeling a bit emotional today. Today would have been hubby's birthday, and it's always a 'crawl under a rock and come out when it's all over' kinda day. But hey ho, life goes on, as they say.

the storm

You never said you'd stay with meI never tied your handsThe way some frightened women do to keep their love on landWhere they can walk dry-footedAnd never fear the tideOr the moon upon the waterIn their lover's arms they hide The rain upon my body beat me down upon the sandAnd the clouds came low...

always a woman

She can kill with a smile She can wound with her eyes She can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child But she's always a woman to me She can lead you to love She can take you or leave... Continue Reading →

dancing in the street

The saga of me being ordered to stay home from work continued into today too. I phone my boss, as instructed yesterday, thirty minutes before I was supposed to start. My throat was still sore so I was croaky and I woke with a wheezy chest (normal for me, I have asthma!), that, coupled with... Continue Reading →
