Miles

Miles -

Miles came and wanted to have a fullfilling life but only found hardship, that he somewhat gave to himself. His mother was a coke addict, and his father kicked him out with his brother at age 15. At the age of 23 he managed to get a job, but he really did not have his heart in building. Nor anything else for that matter. He wakes up every morning with shaking hands as he lights his first cigarette. Some days he can’t seem to get out of bed at all, which doesn’t seem to impress his boss. This turned into a few days a week, and then he didn’t have to go to work at all anymore as he was fired.

He comes into the pub, still unemployed and asks for a beer. Always a fosters. And I wonder if its because he can’t actually go without. Deep down he knows he’s an alcoholic but its not even the start of his problems as with the booze comes cocaine. The other problem is I see his girlfriend and how quickly she is getting pulled into it all. She has a good heart that is being ruined by him, even though he loves her. Instead of going to the movies, or out to dinner he takes her to a mates place and lines up all night talking a whole load of crap until they run out and go on a mad search for more. There’s always more and more as it runs out soon enough, and Miles can never be satisfied.

When someone tries to glass his brother, he beats him to a pulp and girlfriend finally leaves in a huff. I hope for her sake she leaves him for good. But I can see it in her eyes she doesn’t want to be alone, and anything is better than being without. Maybe shes already in too deep.

trip finally home

July 1st 2009 07:35
I sit at the beach
I’m home
Girls are still wearing
Tiny bikinis
Despite the month
Of July
There always seems
To be surfers
Despite
The Midday sun
The sun is still shining
Though
And of course
Their glad to be here
Glad to be living free
With the grass
And the trees
Far from fear
And uncertainty
My first trip to the beach
In 18 months
Why did I wait so long again?

Annie

A 47 year old feminist who comes back to Dahab to revive and relive what Dahab used to be. She has weathered skin and small shades of grey but she is lively in spirit. She works as a social teacher in Holland all the women with heartaches seem to have deflated her once optimistic view on life. My first conversation with her lasted 6 hours without a break as time by like with long lost friends. She had things to say that made me think, and she pulled things out of me I didn’t know existed. Although there is a large gap in age, and she could be my mother, here age no longer creates restrictions on who you should speak to. There is no snobiness about who you should be ‘allowed’ to chat with.
Annie tells me of ‘the good old days’ of no electricity and little beach shacks and a certain peaceful quietness. Now the tourists seem to be the worry and concern and the peoples main income.
Once she recused a dolphin that refused to go back to the deep waters as some Bedouins had started to feed it. She was able to teach and tame the animal until an Israeli boat come and rescued it.
She likes to wear a wedding ring for all the men asking, but eventually all her made up stories caught up on her. Now in town they know her from her many years of venturing back to this world. She is known as ‘Holland’ from some people as she has been coming since 1994 every year.
Her political views are quite interesting as she cringed about Obama’s new decisions and choices to lead America. I for one miss out on most of the news here and was interested in hearing the news straight from her instead of a television set.
She does tell me she loves to hate Egypt, as most times when she visits she gets angrier and angrier at the cultures differences especially when it comes to women and then she tells me she usually leaves. Still this place is strongly held close to her heart.

He has the biggest smile I've ever seen and it makes you want to smile no matter what mood you are in, or what has just happened. All you have to do is look at him and you will feel better. Because in this world problems are easily solved, if indeed there are any problems in the first place.
Ahmed follows a yes no attitude that means he is never scared. He places his trust in a higher power and therefore everything will happen for a purpose.

Nicole-

She acts like a mother figure for all, and especially for my friend, which I am thankful for. To know she has someone looking out for her makes me content as I’m usually far away from her. Nic is at the later stage of life, but that does not mean she is old. She embraces life fully doing things for her, like travelling to Egypt’s coast to Scuba dive for four months, extending her training.

The ‘Otra’ Roberto –

Rob is a little lost, and a little torn between doing what everyone thinks he should do, and doing what he wants to do. The problem is he doesn’t want to do much. I have come to be reliant of him for my own happiness, as I don’t have many friends in this country. This is a quality that I admire in him, as he never tells me he’s had enough of me, or is being suffocated by me.

the south africans

Dave and the South Africans…

They are all nice guys but they are too old for me. It doesn’t seem to bother them when they try to chat up a 22 year old serving them drinks at the pub while their girlfriends are waiting at home.

He looks at me and says, ‘I know you think I’m a drunk but really I’m worse than that as I’m a crook and I have been my whole life.’
What a thing to say to a young women that serves him his pint.

Why is it that some friends just fade away without us wanting them to? Which one lets it happen?

on Buses clear my mind...

I do indeed like to make people ponder... Because thats exactly what I do all the time.. poetry is one way you don't have to be totally clear with your words... They can represent lots of things and people can interpret them differently... Glad you enjoyed reading it.

A friend of mine wrote this to me about life...
he has some kind words that guide me...
-
the girl above is partly right in saying that if we dont have lows we wont have high's. true, but she's missed the guts of it, if we dont have lows we will never ever appreciate the highs we experience,
we experience lows to learn from, to teach us to make us more wiser,
your dreams are placed in your heart, remember those dreams u had when u were a child, of growing up being a fighter pilot, a police man, a nurse , a doctor, a buisness person ( i guess not me though) its only in your teenage years that your dreams are altered or left behine beacause instead of following your heart u follow wat other people opinion direct you 2
dont let their opinions or other peoples dreams influence yours u will find that dust clouds your vision and dust rests in places that havent been touched in a long time
find the dust a blow it away, their u will find your true heart and your true purpose,
god placed it their in the begining but the world has burried it, if u want a meaning uncover the dust and tell people wat u have found, let that person start their mission and to tell another, and another, its called purpose
god knows u more that u think, and loves u no matter wat... he's hand stretched out, waitning for u to respond, do u reject your earthly father, he is your father and your friend right? well so is your father in heaven, he's a friend to, he just wants to get to know u.. wat are u going to do next?
its your missing link u will never find in anyone or anything... FROM JOEL [/SIZE]

Without the lows... we would not have highs...
And without emotions we would have nothing.
I will continue to let them free..
Even if I know it may sound like wanki shit to some people...
Long live writing whatever the fuck you want!

on Why can't people look into other peoples eyes?

April 22nd 2007 12:13
I'm sure not all older guys are bad... and they probably don't necessarily have baggage... Its just I don't think its in my best interest to have my heart broken again... Its not all that nice, especially when I'm young and should be trying to be carefree.
This piece is mostly about one friend who is hanging onto our group of school friends, she doesn't let me fly with my own wings and tries to change our thinking. The thing is she doesn't even realise she's doing it so I don't blame her being scared of change. It just makes it hard for me to do my own thing. But now I have moved its very different...
Do you like the 'why can't people see through other peoples eyes?' its a photography/poetry thing I'm working on as a concept.

on The older guy,.. continued

April 14th 2007 15:04
this was written in anger towards someone and I'm sorry for making them feel bad...
I think its more of a case of the truth hurts.. especially in words...
I dont want to acknowledge it.. and I didn't want him to go..
So i got angry at the tears that came..
And therefore I got angry at him..
I"m sorry Blake..
I miss you. and always will..
may your life be filled with happiness...

February 28th 2007 05:32
I just started Uni and I have to admit that I hate the whole introducing thing... I mean really do we all have to get to know everyone intimately especially when it is my third year and I know three quarters of the class anyhooo...
I dunno about the 50 year old uni people, bit lamo to think you can tower over 20 year olds when they should be the left out ones!
