There are cracks
there are crevices
full to bursting
with sweet vices
Temptation isn’t a poison
you need to fear
Give in to desire
I promise it will transpire
there is no road to perdition
It’s just superstition
spawn from
a corrupted imagination
— — — — — — — — — — — — —
Unyielding is the stone
soft is the flesh
yet various circumstances
might harden soft tissues
and erode rocks
None of this
needs to be
an issue
for those who realise
that living
versus existing
means that sometimes
you shouldn’t keep yourself
from falling
you have to let yourself
slip through the cracks

I missed you too my awesome friend! I’ve had no time to write or do anything at all, it’s been crazy! Drunken writing is all I’ve got at the moment. But, BUT, I saw Star Wars yesterday, I wanna know what you thought!!

I loved it. Had a blast watching it. Loved Daisy Ridley and all the new characters.

Right, I wanted to ask because I know you’re a massive fan…I didn’t like it, but I was never a fan myself. Well, I’m pleased *you* enjoyed it anyway. Have a great Christmas my awesome friend 😀

This was outstanding!! I did see Star Wars also 🙂 Loved it. I remember them as a child so I was psyched! I didn’t dress up like any of the characters or anything but I did wait in a long line to get in.

Ohhh, Dara, you were a fan! I was never a Star Wars fan although I enjoyed the original films… but I’m afraid I didn’t like the latest one very much. Then again, I just never ‘got’ the Star Wars thing, as I said, I was always more the ‘fantasy’ type, Lord of The Rings (of which I am THE biggest fan) is really more my thing. I’m glad you enjoyed the movie though 🙂
