I am still here!

Sorry.
I didn't manage to keep up with my own challenge. Work got in the way again and made me feel small and unwanted.
But I am still here.
And I am still writing, and still enjoying a beer or two every now and then.
Sadly, I am growing fat with no bollywood dance class since the instructor twisted his ankle and my job has become a little more desk based, so I got off my spreading rear and walked to Clifton Moor and back.
Nearly 7 miles, and no chocolate to sustain me.
Problem is, I am off to an evening do for a mates wedding tonight so I haven't made much of a dent. And I think I might consume more than 700 calories in liquid refreshment. Could be a dance floor though. That might help.
But its another walk tomorrow. A longer one I think.
Pity there are few hills in York. Climbing up and down might just add to my desire to loose a few pounds of the weight variety. I can easily loose pounds of the monetary variety all the time.
Well, I may have failed my poetry binge but there are more where that came from....

No notepad.
No place to write.
But then, my soul
Has wallowed in the night.
In the dark.
In defeat.
My soul has languished.
 with naught to eat,
But sorrow.
Sorrow and pain.
The sharp cutting of the minutes
Into the same, of the same
And I, no shell.
No barrier at all.
Into the darkness
I do fall.
I do fall.
Until tomorrow.          24th April 2014

Then I did have a nice relaxing pint, and the day looked more promising...

At the edges,
Faded lines
Smudge,
And merge,
And cross over.
Taste, and thought.
Sound and sight,
Tickle and hint,
And linger.
Invented memories tease
And mind melts,
With ease.
As the edges blur.
And possibilities...
Wander!                            24th April 2014

Thank you to @Yorktap for a tasty, well cared for pint of Dark Rose by Hop Studio after a busy day at work.
Well, its nearly time to start getting ready so I will leave you all with your own thoughts for company.
Thank you for reading.  xx
