I started this blog, with the prompting of a friend, as I often found myself with nothing to say in company, whilst full of ideas and thoughts when I was on my own. It became, and still is, difficult to communicate verbally with society and therefore I was stuck, inert, with no outlet for my ideas, thoughts and moreover my personality. I guess I was frightened what people would say. It is a fear that is crippling. I decided instead to write things down as there are only so many conversations you can have with yourself before becoming sick of the sound of your own voice. This is true even when you do different accents... These words stare into my very existence, they demonstrate what I would describe as my ridiculously dizzy and dark sense of humour. I flit intermittently between the two as my timeline demonstrates. I take very little time at all to create my posts, they are a momentary snapshot of what I think at that point in my life, before my stimuli seeking mind is off again, whirring like an uncontrollable and hapless pigeon in a hurricane. Primarily I believe I am just daft and dizzy, it is however something I have hidden away from the World, well most of the World, until now. I dream of happiness, and want nothing more for anyone than the ability to feel that warmth within. I think if I can help in any way with that, then I am doing okay. If I can help others, I will ultimately help myself. Giving joy and laughter is fab. One day, somebody may give some back to me. I suffer in the dark shadow of despair, but deep down I know that there is no shadow cast without the light and warmth from the sun. Like the ageing shopkeeper, I do not necessarily expect people to purchase the thoughts I share, but it would be nice from time to time, if people would simply wander into my mind, browse for a while and perhaps stop for a chat, a cup of coffee, and some home made cake...Please don't worry though, if you break anything you do not have to buy it.

Books…Words…Thoughts… #Poetry

March 3, 2021 mrpeterjthomasblog, books, creative writing, hope, ideas, journey, poem, poet, poetry, reading, think, thought, thoughts, words, writingLeave a comment

I read to see inside the minds

to ponder other’s thoughts,

To feel their pain, their warm and love,

Here’s hoping I’m not caught

Fake… Cake… #Poetry

March 3, 2021 mrpeterjthomasblog, cake, creative writing, fake, food, happiness, happy, mental health, poem, poems, poetry, thought, thoughts, writingLeave a comment

There’s an unreserved happiness

I know it can’t be fake,

When you’re sitting with a cup of tea

and a piece of homemade cake.

Dark Days #poetry

November 10, 2020 mrpeterjthomasblog, creative writing, dark, darkness, holidays, journey, life, night, solar system, space, sun, thoughts, travel, writingLeave a comment

Strange how times are changing,

Days shorten, nightfall comes,

As we orbit round in space and time,

Our ever smiling sun.

Hidden #poetry

November 10, 2020 mrpeterjthomasblog, hidden, hope, ideas, intelligence, journey, life, mental health, philosophy, plans, thought, thoughts, work, worldLeave a comment

Difficulty thinking in the

face of hidden fears,

Intensity is strengthening as

the crucial moment nears.

Hope #poetry

Suddenly, we find it there,

To help us simply cope,

For in the harshest of all times,

We’re nothing without hope.

Gracious #poetry

February 11, 2020 mrpeterjthomasblog, creative writing, drink, food, gracious, ideas, life, manners, philosophy, plan, poem, poet, poetry, thinking, thought, thoughts, world, writingLeave a comment

We should all try to be gracious,

When we win, and when we lose,

Rather than getting wound up,

Like a mad man full of booze

Wind #poetry

I tried to run against the wind,

I didn’t get so far,

So I turned around to head on home,

And was faster than a car…

Grey #poetry

January 28, 2020 mrpeterjthomasblog, grey, journey, life, nature, poem, poems, poet, poets, sky, thinking, thought, thoughts, Weather, wordsLeave a comment

What a terrible start to

the new day,

I look out of the window

and the sky is deadly grey.

Wisdom #poetry

January 28, 2020 mrpeterjthomasblog, creative writing, journey, knowledge, life, poem, poetry, thoughts, wisdom, words, writingLeave a comment

How to gain more wisdom,

Read, and take a tour,

Ask a lot of questions,

And listen more and more.

Running #poetry

January 28, 2020January 28, 2020 mrpeterjthomasblog, creative writing, fitness, journey, life, philosophy, poem, poetry, poets, running, thinking, thought, thoughts, words, write, writingLeave a comment

Perhaps I might go running,

Quite far, and never stop,

But then again running is hard.

So perhaps I’d better not
