Aiming for my dreams & Free Books

As you know I started work for a local charity running their website, the people involved in this site are so inspiring and helpful. I told the one I want to know everything about running a business from them all. How to do it properly, writing and running a shop while helping people have been a life long dream for me.

I wont say I am the best there is because I am not, I wont lie and say I do not have doubts about my writing. Doubts about me, because I do have doubts so hearing what you have to say about my poems and stories helps a lot. Every single follow every like on this page has helped me get enough courage to put something out there.

I can not promise you will like it, perhaps you will then again perhaps you wont that’s up to you. I have made this book free for how ever long SARS-COV-2 is around for. Then I will either keep it free or charge as little as I can for it after all it is only 20 poems.

Anyway, I hope everyone is keeping safe so the first book out is a chapbook of poetry and trust me there is more to come. From stories to Poems and verse stories as well a good selection of genres from Crime, mystery and paranormal as well as science fiction as most tales are based in an alternative universe although many topics are taken from real life.

I have decided that during COVID-19 or SARS-COV-2 the first book will be available for free. So if you have time please go and get a copy of the first chapbook but please do me one thing to say thank you and leave a review upon the site oh and another thing if you do like it then please tell your friends. If you prefer paperback books, then I do have a paperback on Amazon but I am waiting for the eBook to be published on there.

If you are not sure if you will like the poems there are a series of poems on this site which you might like. It will show you the style I write poetry in and give you a taster of my work.

I have one book with the editors entitled “The Orphans Adventure” this is a short story based in the same universe that the poetry book is set in the Redemption Unit universe. The list below is where you can currently get my free e-books.

My life turned upside down.

The days grew long with in the perpetual darkness,

Which engulfed my world everyday we all seem,

To suffer from the depressions this world brings,

Neglecting to see the better times the light from the shadows.

My life turned upside down within an instant,

Just like a flip of a light switch with in an second,

Everything goes dark but I need to look for the flash,

A single flash of light from the most distant source.

Although hesitant I need to remember not everything,

Is friendly within this world but the light is warm,

It seems to soothe and put me at my ease as I relax,

Within the confines of my cell a born fighter ready to fight.

They are human too

A storm is blowing outside today,

I can’t help think of those worse affected

The men and women on the streets

Where I once slept.

 

I wish I could be out helping them

Letting them know some of us still care and fight their corner but illness.

Keeps me in bed lucky to be home

Due to flare up of COPD asthma

But still I can’t stop thinking of

The people on the streets less fortunate than myself.

 

Please don’t walk past and do nothing

Please say hello as it could save a life

Wish them merry Christmas offer them a drink and food.

Just like I do even though I live on limited means.

Remember they are human to.

Happy Christmas

 

 

As I eagerly await the excitement I know my child has
as they wait for the visit from Santa trying to sleep
with one eye open trying to trick the ancient gift bearer
with stories of Krampus in their mind as I warn them
every year to be good all year long or Krampus would surely
take in his sack with other naughty girls and boys.

 

Happy Christmas to everyone , I hope all your wishes come true
I wish you all the best for Christmas festivities and year to come
Let’s hope that 2020 will be a better year than 2019 has been 
and may it be the best of years both in business and personal life
Enjoy yourselves but stay safe nd remember to show each other respect. 

It doesn’t matter who

It doesn’t matter who we are within society we are  all human,
Irregardless of our faith or cultural backgrounds we’re human,
young, old, rich or poor no matter what it matters that we are human,
Even if we are disabled or in perfect health we are human,
We are human and together we are a powerful force stood in unity,
while others seek to destroy the unity we have through hatred
A little kindness and respect can mend the bridges that have been burnt down.
We are all human bringing our own special talents  into the society we live
We are human in need of mutual respect.

The nights grew colder

The nights grew colder as I sit listening to orchestral music on television,
It is one of the simpler things in life that brings me pleasure and joy,
to listen to something that was denied to me by a man who hurt me so much,
from Edward scissor-hands to the nightmare before Christmas music to be enjoyed,
a joy I didn’t have two years ago I still cant hold any bad thoughts towards him.

I remember what it was like to have lots of friends around at this time of year,
now it is a time I do not like the run up to Christmas as I know the sense of pain,
many go through due to loneliness once brought by the absence of friends,
the deadly silence where love once resided the love friends and family stands,
as memories of better times slowly disappear from my minds views when time passes,
I can’t help thinking life is passing me by as the old life disappears  but another step in the right direction another feather in my cap just when you got no one to celebrate
the Christmas holidays or birthdays, times of joy to be spent with the ones you love.

Where I look forward to a better year I know many will be stuck in the ever lasting cycle
of loneliness and isolation which in turn is detrimental to their mental health
When you sit to have your Christmas dinner, or open your presents think bout the ones,
who are alone on Christmas day, or the people who cant afford Christmas presents,
Take a moment to imagin how you would feel if you was in their shoes.

On the streets where we have no name

On the streets where we have no name we seem invisible,
Where the people sleeping rough face horrors we’re blind to,
lost souls in the coldest of mornings but the wiser they are,
among the cold bodies who hardly anyone stops to help,
who need our help in the coldest of winter days,
that the winter months brings.

I can see the sleeping bags on the streets,
the men and women who need our help,
I stop when I can to help those in need,
offering no monetary donations but food and coffee,
for those who have nothing remembering that  I was once,
not to long ago without a place to live.

Just a kind to let people know they are not alone,
it reaffirms they are not invisible this is food of a different sort,
A cup of coffee warms you up and sandwich fills you,
but talking to each other helps us to keep the humanity in us all,
This Christmas please spare a thought for those less fortunate. .

Be strong and courageous every day.

In this day and age we all matter no matter who or what we are,
We can not fault the fact we all have a part to play within this world,
From the street cleaner to the office worker, from the volunteer to the rich,
we struggle to succeed in our own dreams while playing our part in this world,
while some may find it easy but others might struggle the fact is we all count.

As time goes by we grew older some wiser than they was before,
Each day teaches us new lesson with the people we meet or challenges we face,
especially when we face our fears to stand for what matters within our lives,
Stand up and be counted for what you believe, stand for what you know is right,
Be strong and courageous with in the world we live no matter how scary things might be.
