Dreams
We all wish they were real.
The dust in which our minds release in slumber,
In them, who's to say we cannot feel?
Whilst in real life, we are much humbler.
They weave their magic when least remembered,
During our eyes not see but our minds create.
Wrapped into the dream to which we have surrendered.
Trapped so that we cannot deviate.
We cannot control when they arrive,
We cannot control when they choose to leave.
They illuminate how we all strive,
And our greatest desires we can't seem to achieve.
Interesting, aren't they?
Not complex but that is what we perceive,
They come as they please, in the thick of night or light of day.
What is it about them we cannot conceive?
Reflecting the thoughts that you ache for,
I know this to be true.
Of this state of mind and nothing more,
It just depends on the beliefs in which you pursue.

Walking On
Standing - Alone - on a beachfront: the one constant pitch of the rugged ocean breeze crackles through my hair and my sodden layers. With my hands wedged firmly in my pockets I watch as a grey sky slides overhead and listen intently to the deep blue sea just in case it has any secrets to share with me.
No sleep or work to be had - only observing.
Occasionally I think to hear somebody calling my name from behind: I turn to find only quiet dunes, so I return my eyes to the sea again.
It is only when I hear footsteps that my attention is divided.
A girl; all I can see walking. I cannot tell her height, the colour of her eyes, her hair, her s

Digging
Miriam always looked worse in hotel mirrors. There was something about the lighting in these places. Maybe it was the drying effect of the unfamiliar water or the biological washing powder on the sheets and towels. Maybe it was the aging effect of a full English breakfast every morning, clogging her arteries and colon, writ large across her pores.
Whatever the cause, a pallid, dry, wrinkle-faced hag with frizzy greying hair watched Miriam brush her teeth.
It was 6am according to her elderly Nokia. The wall clock in her room wasn’t working. She wasn’t sure what year it had stopped at roughly quarter past three, but the hands

The Ballerina
She watches from backstage as her partner performs his variation. The stage lights seem to get brighter, and the space in the wings seem to close in. She can feel her heart beating faster. Her partner’s short solo seems to last an eternity. She flexes and points her feet as she waits. Finally the music stops. She closes her eyes. She can hear thunderous applause, but it sounds distant, like it’s coming from another world. She centers herself, preparing for the most important two minutes of her life: her first solo as prima ballerina. The applause seems to go on forever. She fears that she will always be overshadowed by her talent
