Wound and bound<o:p></o:p></div>

Intertwined and woven.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Like webs of silken<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Splendour, spun silently<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
In hands so tender.<o:p></o:p></div>

Her breath rasps<o:p></o:p></div>

Slow, as row on row<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
This vision of beauty<o:p></o:p></div>

Starts to flow<o:p></o:p></div>

The loom lags long<o:p></o:p></div>

In dark seclusion<o:p></o:p></div>

Her hands so red, and swollen<o:p></o:p></div>

Bruised and broken<o:p></o:p></div>

On arms that hang<o:p></o:p></div>

Weave no more.<o:p></o:p></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Only Home I know</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dusty doorways, hid from view.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sheltering under starry skies.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wrapped in thrown out blankets,</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">found in the trash.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Looking in dustbins, for scraps of food</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is far from the life I led.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Far from the opulent heady days</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Those days when a warm bed</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and being fed, were overrated and understated.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When mass media was my daily bread.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But here I am know destitute, past refute</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rebutted and undone.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nights of abuse, misused by lost youth</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Frozen most nights, fearful thoughts</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Longing for the great life I once led.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I watch each passing stranger.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hoping that one will be my saviour</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lifting me from daily danger.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Giving me a chance to sleep</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And return to the life I once led</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happily sleeping in a nice warm bed.</span></div>

Hello!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Friends, visitors and passers by of my Blog - I am truly grateful to be making a brief pit stop!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've had a frantic few month's, from appearing on the radio to getting reviews for 'The Curtain Twitchers of Oakley Place'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since publication I have also returned to student life part-time, while I study to gain the following two qualifications: Specialist Teaching and Learning Support Assistant Diploma and an Autism Awareness Diploma. Both courses are going very well - and I am also still making sure that my pen is flowing freely with new poetry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In addition to these new strings to my bow, I have now also secured a post at a local primary school as Special Needs Teaching Assistant. I am loving every second, and it is so fantastic to see children growing in confidence and loving reading.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am truly blessed and grateful, that I can make a difference this way too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
News on the writing front:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have started writing the sequel of 'The Curtain Twitchers of Oakley Place'. The new book will be released in 2018. On the slate of new release will be two children's books and two new poetry collections. So keep patient and watch this space...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The third release this year a Biography titled: 'You Should Have Been Here Yesterday' is due to be released before Christmas 2017.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, that's it for now folks!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm sending you all light beams, wrapped in rainbows of LOVE.</div>
<div>
From my heart to your heart,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Deborah xxx</div>
