Hello, all! Do give this blog a visit! 🙂
I would like to share that Philip was the first Blogger to follow me on WordPress and also happens to be a great friend, now. I feel proud to say that nice and honest people do exist, and distance does not matter. I am sharing this so that I can tell others that you can make great friends, too.
Philip Craddock Writing Portfolio
She swore her life was over,
left low by each lethal lie.
He had sworn true love forever,
how had forever passed her by?
Defeated, dead, dejected,
she crumpled to the ground.
First a wail, then whimper,
then silence saddest sound.
An empty echo filled the space
on his side of the double bed.
By ghosts her heart haunted –
spectres of sweet nothing’s said.
She shambled amongst the living,
let out only occasional groan.
It’s hard hearing happy couples
when you’re abandoned all alone.
It was then that I saw her,
hiding beauty beneath her pain.
Our eyes encountered enchanted,
bewitched begged believe again.
How many volts will it take
to restart a broken heart?
First kiss was electrifying;
pretty perfect place to start.
A rose flush found her cheeks,
a light lit her hazel eyes.
Her heart heals, holding hands
as our new love let her rise.
Months…

I have just become one of your followers. Just got back from the north of England so I’ll check out your other poems this weekend. I enjoyed your ‘Lovely Lace’ by the way! Highly sensual – stirred an old man’s loins!

Thank you for Following me and also for your feedback about “Lovely Lace”. As you liked that one, I recommend “Stripped”. Similar themes of lust & love but in my opinion the latter is the better poem. See https://philipcraddockwriter.wordpress.com/2016/01/04/stripped/.
I’m originally from the north of England (Manchester). Long since lost the Mancunian accent though.
