A returning.

For me, writing is a release. It allows me to venture in to a mysterious land where no rules exist, where the only limitations are my imagination and creativity. 

At the moment I don't seem to find the time to sit down and relax with my keyboard and thoughts. I know this is my fault, other things pop up that make me think 'Ooh that looks good!' So I get distracted. Something that has taken my interest again is my love of model building and painting. 

It's used to be such a relaxing hobby. Now, while still relaxing, it has taken a slight turn towards perfectionism rather than just letting it be 'okay'. 

Anyway the models I am painting are from the Warhammer 40k collection and the fantasy aspect that the collection brings with it is certainly sparking off my mind with regards to writing again. I can envisage my trusty keyboard getting some action over the next couple of months so here is me signing back on to the wonderful world of writing. 

To be continued..........

Wounded

A Poem

The letter I open,
Words spill from the page,
Taking my breath,
Not this time,

I'm wounded,
Hurting from the inside,
I'm wounded,
But life goes on.

When the call is made,
I take the time,
To make it right,
To live the dream,

I'm wounded,
Hurting from the outside,
I'm wounded,
But life goes on,

I'm wounded,
Hurting from the inside,
Im wounded,

Till my last breath.

Perfect moment

A Poem


That one perfect moment
Standing embraced with one another
Ignoring the crowds
Lost in each others thoughts, feelings
My blood on fire, emotions charged
My tears flowing free, love unending
We listen to the song
And watched the sun as it set
Two hearts beating faster
In that place of ultimate sin
That one perfect moment
Shared by two
Can never be replaced
Can never be removed
The feelings that we had
The feeling that were shared

In that one perfect moment

Hi, I'm Tom Parks.......

Well to be fair and honest I am not Tom Parks. Tom is a pseudonym. A front. A mask. An alter ego.

I am however a creative writer, or aspiring to be one shall we say. As it stands I do a lot of writing about my favourite past time, Carp Fishing and I run a blog similar to this. It is full of pictures of fish and rigs but I want to get the other aspects of my writing out to the small (hopefully not too small) amount of people who might read them .

So here you will find Tom's musings. From short stories and poems to memories and achievements. I was toying with the idea of an on-line diary of sorts but that might be something that would get in the way of the creative writing I want to get out.

I have a ton of ideas to jot down but not enough time to do them all this morning so I will leave you all with this short but hopefully engaging post and hope to see you back here soon. If you have a blog subscribe to me and I will follow you and you can follow me and we will follow them and they will follow us, in a roundabout way.

For now, goodbye.
