I'm Baaaaaack

I am back from holiday, back to work and back to reviewing! I am so excited to be back home (how sad?) and to catch up on all my extra-curricular activities haha!

My holiday was amazing, I loved Napa this year and I met so many interesting people. Limassol was great, my favourite club was Drops Beach Bar and I even enjoyed their karaoke night (in Greek - haha). I personally found Castle Club to be the best this year in Napa, went there the most and I finally went to an after party - River Reggae, although I do not recommend walking there after four hours of straight dancing!

My favourite songs from this holiday have to be:

 

I have already posted a new poem on FluidLanguage, check it out it's called 'For You, My Enemy' I will soon be hitting the blogging hard with some new Quick Reviews to catch up on some of the films I saw while I was away but as they are not recent features, I will just be giving a quick insight into the films to see if they are something my readers want to try watching! Below are some photos from my holiday (if you are interested) and I look forward to getting back on track!

The Prison of My Mind

I was posting some of my poetry on Fluid Language - a blogspot I write for quite regularly - and a twitter friend suggested that I should try some non-rhyming poetry as this may enhance the intensity of my poems.

I love to write simply, express emotions through being real and not smothering my words with patronising intellect. All to often I feel people go out of their way to find words to use in a book or poem that you would never use in real life, therefore I write as I would do normally. I do not hide my true feelings behind a mask.

However I do like to take on suggestions and I do respect those who write non-rhyming as this provides another realm of interesting poetry for the reader to submerse themselves in.

So I took on board this feedback. I have written non-rhyming poetry before but felt it did not have the kick that my other poems had, ironically. So here is what I wrote in response to the feedback. I will post my other entries when I find them as they are somewhere in a diary that I will have to look up as I never posted them.

Hope you enjoy:

The Prison of My Mind

I'm trapped in a prison that is the subconscious of my mind
I wish I could tap into it and release the inner yearnings
Of a lost girl who has many hidden revelations dying to creep out
But they are locked away and refuse to be unleashed unto the world

I can't beg anymore for my mind to succumb
I just want these hot sweats and nightmares to end
In the dead of night I wake but I forget in an instance the dreaded deed I seek
I wish I could savour the memory and remember the secret I was once familiar with

But it seems I must remain clueless for there must be a reason
For my inner consciousness to take this episode into the depths of my hidden desires
There has to be a reason I am now ignorantly blissful but obviously remorseful
Maybe I shouldn't delve too deep into an answer I secretly don't want to know...

Clueless I remain in the prison of my mind
This prison has somehow set me free of external guilt
It is there somewhere but not right here
And maybe I'm grateful for my mind's choice
I'll slam the doors on this regretful wish and no longer pester my thoughts
