a broken heart is a strong heart

Some days are golden. Moments overwhelm you with beauty and light and make you feel you might explode. Other days are a dull grey, or black, or just empty, and you drift from moment to moment wondering what that fleeting, nameless sensation you feel about your heart is. It seems to me that too often feelings cannot catch up with thoughts, or perhaps it is the other way around, and what we feel cannot be put into coherent words or even thoughts, because it is the metaphysical and is not meant to be explained or analysed. Our lives are made up of moments and thoughts. This is a way to recording some of mine.

I have been amused my entire life. I have also realized that I'm a "seeker of truth," which is often clouded within the swirling vapors of politics, religion and hogwash. My greatest joy is writing. My books, stories, observations, rants and on occasion, nonsense.

I hope to experience an epiphany of excellent enlightenment and new found wisdom in my elder years, if not, I will most likely just open a stall at the local flea market, sell collectible lunch boxes and drink beer. I do hope you will take time and indulge yourself in a few of my scripts and if you enjoy them, then I'm happy. If they are not to your taste, well then bite me.

Thanks......Charlie

Finding time to write has been tough, but it's too ingrained to stop now. The problem is going back to finish works I started three years ago while the shiny new thing jumps up and down and screams my name.
Anyway, I may not finish all of what I start to write, but I'm going to have fun trying. Thanks for stopping by, reading my stories and poems, and (maybe) leaving a comment (or TWO). Blessings all ways.

I am a 34 year old from London, who writes about society, meaning and purpose. I have gradually moved away from my early career as a corporate marketeer and into writing.

I write essays and articles and have a series of short stories available on Amazon entitled "We Are All Lost"

I am currently writing a short novel due for release in October.

The pain we experience now can no where near compare to the joy that will come in our future

"We at High On Poems are blessed to have found such a treasure as you amongst our midst. Your poetry is thought provoking and shakes one up. You obviously are a powerful wielder of words!"

For a writer, I find myself at a loss of words when it comes to describing myself. I guess to sum it up: It's all relative. I have a biased view of who I am because..I am me. My one biggest fan. You just have to make your conclusions on who I am
