I recently underwent heart surgery.
Hopefully that will not put you off.

Because of distances involved, I am only interested in serious relationships with people who live in my country of residence.

English Guy living alone in Germany.
What you see is what you get
Former soldier, DJ and house husband.
If you're truthful and honest with me, you'll get the same in return.
I may not be all that much to look at but I've been told I have a heart of gold.
If you need a shoulder to cry on when you're down, I'm your man.
I'll also listen to what you have to say, if you're having any problems.
God knows we all have enough of them.
A problem shared is a problem halved!

I'm affectionate, loving and caring. I'm also very emotional, so don't contact me if you are only going to let me down when you've had enough. It's happened to me too often before.
I'm NOT INTO HEADGAMES!!!
We all lonely and depressed when we haven't got anyone to talk to. So come on, What do you have to lose?
I'm in it for the long haul. I supplied a pic, I'd appreciate the same in return.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

My number is: 3

The expression or destiny for #3:
An Expression of 3 produces a quest for destiny with words along a variety of lines that may include writing, speaking, singing, acting or teaching; our entertainers, writers, litigators, teachers, salesmen, and composers. I also have the destiny to sell myself or sell just about any product that comes along. I am imaginative in my presentation, and I may have creative talents in the arts, although these are more likely to be latent. I am an optimistic person that seems ever enthusiastic about life and living. I am friendly, loving and social, and people like me because I am charming and such a good conversationalist. My ability to communicate may often inspire others. It is my role in life to inspire and motivate; to raise the spirits of those around me.

My Soul Urge number is: 5

A Soul Urge number of 5 means:
The 5 soul urge or motivation would like to follow a life of freedom, excitement, adventure and unexpected happening. The idea of travel and freedom to roam intrigues me. I am very much the adventurer at heart. Not particularly concerned about my future or about getting ahead, I can seem superficial and unmotivated.

In a positive sense, the energies of the number 5 make me very adaptable and versatile. I have a natural resourcefulness and enthusiasm that may mark me as a progressive with a good mind and active imagination. I seem to have a natural inclination to be a pace-setter. I am attracted to the unusual and the fast paced.

I may be overly restless and impatient at times. I may dislike the routine work that I am engaged in, and tend to jump from activity to activity, without ever finishing anything. I may have difficulty with responsibility. I don't want to be tied down to a relationship, and it may be hard to commit to one person.

My Inner Dream number is: 7

An Inner Dream number of 7 means:
My dream of having the opportunity to read, study, and shut myself off from worldly distractions. I can see myself as a teacher, mystic, or ecclesiastic, spending my life in the pursuit of knowledge and learning.


Some of My poems

There are times when bad things happen
And things seem to go wrong
It doesn't matter what you hear
You can't find the right song
Then there are the good times
You leap, sing, laugh and dance
You find that special someone
And your life it has romance
You gaze into each others eyes
No longer is there pain
You've found the person that you want
And you're happy once again.
The perspiring hands, the beating heart
The joy of being in love
The two they go together
Like a hand inside a glove
So when you're truly happy
You feel yourself carefree
Just remember one thing
It could be you and me.


July 12 2007

I hope that when you went to sleep
That all your dreams
Were warm and deep
I'm writing this down
As a sort of rhyme
'Cos when I sleep
There is no time
Your happy smile
Just makes my day
In each and every possible way
Your laugh it warms me through and through
And more than that
I love you

He sat alone in his lonely room
Without a friend close by
And wondered what he had done wrong
To who, where, when and why
He thought is it worth the worry
Or is it worth the pain
Of sitting by himself alone
And so he thought again
Do I sit here and still dwell
Of things now in the past
Of stupid things I've said and done
And why these pains still last
He thought about the good times
Of good friends whom he'd met
He wondered if they cared for him
About his pain and yet
The darkness of the night came down
And eased his troubled mind
Tomorrow was another day
Perhaps then he would find
Something that could change his life
And bring him peace of mind

Of living his life on his own
Of having someone near
Someone he could care for
Someone to hold dear
The sadness that he held inside
Was more than he could bear
He raised himself,
Stood up and stretched
He must get out of here.

I need to be back in a crowd
Where I can feel alive again
And not stand here
My head held low and bowed
I simply mustn't have this fear
He sat in his chair and breathed a sigh
Yes, tomorrow is another day
And yet he wondered why?
He can't just sit alone and fret
A teardrop in his eye
You see my friend
When he's alone
All day and all of the night
Can you help him out of his rut
Give him the will to fight
To show him he's not on his own
Support and love and care
To show him he's not forgotten
To show him that you're there
If you can make this lonely man
Laugh instead of cry
Then he has a reason
To live, laugh, love and cry.


20 June 2007

If you love something, set it free.
That's how the story goes.
And when the love you had
flies off itself
the pain just grows and grows
Time is the healer of this pain
Of this I guess you know
But who to turn to
when they're gone
Could you say where to go.
Four quiet walls to live in.
You had hoped not alone
It seems that you are by yourself
Once more stuck on your own
Life moves on as we know it must
Tomorrow's another day
May you find your special someone
To help along the way.
Live for the future
Don't forget the past
for these times
were very good
and these times gone by
if given the chance
would we change them if we could?
The answer probably is yes
then again it could be no.
But the thoughts of you
stay in the heart
still beating as you go.
Farewell, adieu, Auf wiedersehen
No more a fond hello
Bon voyage, Ciao, a last farewell
A friendly wave to let them know.
They part still friends
and throughout life
Will have thoughts to make them sigh
If this is you
Or maybe me
Again they say goodbye
And so to the final thought
The words stick in the head.
Make sure you live life
to the full
because you'll be a long time dead.




I personally have never taken dugs. But is this what people who do feel like?


If only I could tell you
The way I see things here
I wonder if you'd be spellbound
Or would you quake with fear?
My eyes are blurred
My stomach weak
My head is wracked with pain
Oh God I swear and promise this
I won't take drugs again.
My legs they feel like jelly
My back tells me no way
I wish that I
Could find someone now
To carry me away.
The dizzy spells
That make me trip
As I stagger round the room
Oh please will someone help me
To eliminate this gloom
I promise I'll behave myself
And walk in straighter lines
So long as someone tells me
I'm going to be just fine
Is This a dream
Or is it real
Or my imagination
Why do you stare at me like that
A look of consternation
Can't you see that I need help
It will be hard I know
But with your help
And lasting care
I'm sure I can let go.
Just one more fix
Just one more pill
You've heard it all before
I swear to you
That with your help
I won't take drugs no more.

A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
A better and happier place.
A lover though so distant
Is still a friend as well
To listen when you're happy
To love you when it's hell
Through all the good and bad times
Through thickness and through thin
It may be someday possible
Love will really win.




Friends and Lovers

Friends who were lovers
are again friends once more
It isn't a case of
another closed door.
Sometimes life
yes, it's hard
with its long ups and downs
It's still good to know
when something's lost
something's found.
Friendship is strength
trust, faith and belief
on waters were danger
lies lurking beneath.
But one thing's for certain
when all's said and done
friends who were lovers
are not two
they're still one.


May 8th 2007
..

The life of the lonely
Is barren and bare
No one to turn to
No one to care
Haven't eaten in days
Hardly slept through the night
Things always look different
When it's in black and white
When you are alone
By yourself as you read
Have a terrible hunger
But no will to feed
When the darkness seems endless
All your brightness is gone
You've got to keep breathing
And keep pushing on.
If you feel like this
As you read this sad rhyme
Just remember my friends
These are yours theirs and mine.
At the end of the tunnel
A light will shine through
If not for all
Then maybe a few
For the few who have light
Help your sister and brother
To find a way through
For you never know friend
When it could happen to you.
Peace and Love to all


Sun 05/06/07 11:49 AM


If you sit and ponder
About things that you've done
The trials, tribulations,
And things you have won
Could you do better
Than a brother father or son
A sister and mother
Are the next thing in life
Followed by girlfriend, partners
A lover and wife.
You work all your life
To provide for such things
And try to live life
Like a bird on the wing
An Eagle that soars
To an envious height
Thrilled by the freedom
Open space, air and light
When bad times do come
As we all know they will
Just think back on good times
The warmed and the chill
A rainbow brings colour
On the darkest of days
To brighten our lives
In innumerable ways.
So. You who are reading
Just think for a time
Go search for the answers
And the truth you will find.
If today or tomorrow
One never knows
But the truth,
Yes it's out there
When you find it, it shows.

6 May 2007


Do you reside in fields of green
Or valleys deep and clear
In mountains where the air is fresh
At all times of the year
Do you say you always tell truth
The where's the when's the why's
The who's the what's the yes, the no's
Or do you still tell lies
Do you have family and friends
Or are you all alone
If this is true of you my friend
Then you are not alone
When you are lost and can't find right
As in life quite often is true
Remember this, you can talk to GOD
For HE is always with you.


8th May 2007

What is it that makes us love or hate?
Is it truth or lies which guides our fate
Jealousy also takes its part
It rules our heads
As well as our hearts
And yes, It tears our lives apart.
If love is truly meant to be
For you or her
Or him or she
Then take the time to search your soul
Have more than one ambitious goal.
Strive to achieve what is right
To find the truth
To find the light
When this you find
Then you may see
Just how you want
Your life to be.

July 19 2007


Sitting at the keyboard
Typing what they feel
They know the things they're thinking
May not quite seem real
The person you're conversing with
Lives so far away
Does one watch the sun shine
While the others are making hay?
It matters not how things turn out
In the days and weeks to come
Where once there were the two of them
Now there is only one
All the best is said out loud
And wish the other well
One of them in heaven
The other left in hell
But life moves on
As one knows it must
There's better times ahead
One makes their bed
And lays in it
No more with aching head
Gazing out the window
Or staring at the wall
One thing's for sure
In that short time
You really had a ball.


15. August 2007

Another Week.
It's past your bedtime many hours ago
Your body says yes, but your head says no
You know that feeling
When you can't stop yawning
It should be dark and calm
And a new day's dawning
The sun is rising in the East
Waking up every man and beast
Workers start their daily routine
Looking around at where others have been
Once more you make your way to bed
Where a nice soft pillow awaits your head
You close your eyes and prepare for sleep
Then all of a sudden. Beep beep beep
Oh God! please no another day of toil
No rest for the wicked, free from turmoil
You hit the button but to no avail
Five minutes later once again it wails
You have to accept you must arise
There really is no compromise
You jump out of bed to start the day anew
Like many more who feel like you
Monday morning is here again
For boys and girls, women and men.


SLEEPING ALONE.

No one round to talk to?
He thinks he'll go to bed.
At least there's something soft there
Where he can lay his head
It's warm, It's soft
It's just the thing
Where he is sure of rest
Sadly it's a pillow
And not a partners breast
Alone again in a darkened room
With no one there but him
In silence, peace and quiet gloom
His future seems so grim
Tomorrow is another day
He'll meet the one he seeks
And he won't feel alone there
A brighter newer week
Washed up, feeling all at sea
He'll have someone to share
Someone who will love him
Someone who will care
His eyes they close
He falls asleep
His body now at rest
Yes tomorrow is another day
And hopefully the best.

August 26 2007



She made me laugh, she made me cry
I can't quite fathom this last goodbye
You're in our thoughts and in our prayers
As you climb up those heavenly stairs
One things for sure where you are now
Our hearts cry out and our heads we bow
If she can see the way we feel
Our love, our thoughts and prayers are real
To you her sons be strong and proud
Your mom sits on a heavenly cloud.
And though she's gone and sadly missed
Her head will be by angels kissed
May God take care of our good friend
She has no more pain, just a peaceful end
1 Sept 2007



It makes him sick. So sick to know
That she just had to let him go
Without a word without a sign
Saying' you were no longer mine'
His heart is breaking It's torn apart
Where to begin Where to start
Alone again out on a limb
Why not 'me' instead of 'him'
Life goes on what is must be
Lost out in love, left all at sea
He will survive because he's strong
And so he says to her so long
Who can tell what tomorrow may hold
Perhaps for him his pot of gold
The one who will his dreams fulfil
No more to taste the bitter pill
Never again to feel rejection
To be complete not just a section
That arrow will again his heart capture
And then maybe his life will rise in rapture
For all of those who've loved and lost
Don't give up hope at any cost
The one for you out there awaits
To help you live. Your perfect mate


What is that person we call a friend
When we are down and in need of cheer
Where everything and everyone seems out of touch?
Why so far away and sadly they aren't near
What happens if we are alone without a friendly smile
When all hope is gone and things seem bleak
Where do we go if all seems lost and forlorn
Why don't we feel so strong but feel so weak
What if we turn our hopes and fears to better things
When instead of darkness we see a shining light
Where nothing harms us and we feel safe
Why shouldn't the future be shining so bright
What occurs if we come out of the gloom
When friends turn up to brighten our day
Where happiness reigns in the dead of night
Why, that's when friends you have come and stay.


October 2 2007

I met this lovely person
We talked most of the night
We talked about some funny things
Until it was daylight
We laughed out loud
Till tears flowed
The funny smileys
How they rolled
I think I need clean underwear
Because of things
That we said there
I laughed so much
Till my sides ached
I even felt my floorboards quake
Maybe we'll do it more again
Soon I hope and until then
I'll need to go to the chuckle bank
Cos if I don't
I'll walk the plank.



You wait for mail that doesn't come
And because of this feel low
It seems your world has broken down
And you have no place to go
A loved one that you care for
Who you thought would care for you
Has let you down just when thought
They'd be around for you
You sit and ponder hour by hour
And from day to day
Did you do something wrong
Or something stupid say.
Maybe a relation or then again a friend
Will the wait be over
Tomorrow will it end?
If you've not heard from one for whom
Your life was never bare
Then look no further than the one who writes
For you I'm always there.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW

If only you knew,
how my heart overflows with love for you
If only you could see
the way you fill my hopes and dreams.
You're the owner of my heart,
the ruler supreme.
Even in the dark of night,
I've only to think about you
to feel your loving light
and from this world I drift
feeling as if
I'll never touch the ground again.
If only you knew.
If only you could guess
how I hear your voice when others speak;
for you hold the key to my happiness,
and it's always you my soul seeks.
If only you could feel,
how your very presence
has the power to heal,
all the wounds inside me.
You've made me abandon
the pain of yesterday,
and you've shown me
that the past can no longer
stand in the way
of what I hope to achieve.
If only you knew.
If only you could realize
the way you've shown me
that it's better to give
than to take,
and whatever I do,
I do for your sake.
I'm willing to give you my all
and expect nothing in return.
But, oh how I yearn
for you.
If only you knew.

You know that when you left him
it tore his life apart
You ripped out his soul
you crushed his love
and smashed a loving heart
he did not know until today
that there was another
And the thing that makes it even worse
He used to be a brother
Not a blood relation, someone dear
A close and trusted friend
someone who you both knew
On whom he could depend
When times were hard
through thick and thin
they used to stand together
but little did he think or know
you'd both planned stormy weather.
You both decieved him
with your lies
and laughed behind his back
his self esteem and faith all gone
left his heart an empty sack
Will he again find love once more
bad times and tastes forgotten
or will the pain of this sad tale
leave scars which have turned rotten
He sits alone and cries at nights
wishing that the pain would end
looking for the right one
his broken heart to mend.

December 1 2007



Do you like talking dirty to whom you're talking to.
And do they do the same themselves
When they reply to you
Are your minds continuously lying in the gutter
And do you feel a little bad
With the phrases that you utter
Is your mind some miles away
From where it ought to be
Or with your eyes closed tightly shut
Are you just undressing me?
Some times the wavelength is the same
Through thoughts and spoken word
The words and thought some time should be
For others seldom heard
But if you're a nice person
And live your life carefree
Please don't go talking dirty
Especially to me.

You wait for mail that doesn't come
And because of this feel low
It seems your world has broken down
And you have no place to go
A loved one that you care for
Who you thought would care for you
Has let you down just when thought
They'd be around for you
You sit and ponder hour by hour
And from day to day
Did you do something wrong
Or something stupid say.
Maybe a relation or then again a friend
Will the wait be over
Tomorrow will it end?
If you've not heard from one for whom
Your life was never bare
Then look no further than the one who writes
For you I'm always there.

When you find, and make a friend,
Are you there for them until the end?
When they are down with no place to go,
Do you need to let them know ?
There will be times when you're down too
And hope that they are there for you.
They may ask for aid, a friendly ear
And it will help if you are near.
Friends are not made overnight
You can lose them though without a fight
When you yourself shed tears of pain
Then having friends will ease the strain
No one there to hear the cries,
To soften down the heart wrenched sighs
Be there for me, as I for you
Together we will see things through.

Lost in a world full of heartache and tears
Haunted by nightmares sorrows and fears
Still all alone after all's said and done
A battles been lost and the war not yet won
Self confidence blown happiness low
No one to talk to, nowhere to go
Take a look round, there are others like you
Who feel life's not worth it. Nothing to do.
No calls, No mails, No contact at all
You feel you're just playing 'Keepie up ball'
If you see others like you who also feel down
Try contacting them, try erasing that frown
Bring a smile to the face of others as well
Life shouldn't be seen as a pure living hell
If a smile every day cheers up others there
Then no one is lost and life will seem fair.
A new friend may be found A long lasting bond
Someone of whom you may grow to love and be fond
May you find the one who does it for you
Then with a smile on your faces
You can see this life through

I share your feeling of lonliness
For I am lonely too
And though I'm many miles away
I'll be here for you
A better friend is hard to find
And harder still to keep
But you're in my thoughts when I'm awake
And in dreams when I sleep.
If we should never get to meet
At any given time
I know our friendship will endure
Through distance, space and time
And if we do, we'll greet each other
As all true close friends will
With a handshake, hug and yes a kiss
And some tears I'm sure we'll spill
Tom April 2008


If I could take you in my arms
And wake up with you there
The world could simply fall apart
You know I wouldn't care.
To have your head upon my chest
It would make me feel complete
My love for you it grows day by day
To me you are so sweet
And when the sun it does awake
When your eyes again do shine
I give thanks to God
And heaven above
That I am yours and you are mine.
Although the miles between us
Sadly separate we two
Your love for me grows stronger
As does mine for you
We know that only time will tell
Destiny will decide when we shall meet
But if and when this time should come
My heart will skip a beat
You're in my thoughts from dusk till dawn
And with each waking hour
But when we two do become one
We'll live the strength of loves true power



When you look in the mirror, what do you feel?
Are you animated or maybe real?
Does what you see fill you with pride?
Or make you think that you should hide?
Do the lines that show upon your face
Put perspective into place?
Are the changes visible, clear to see,
Or do you think, 'This is not me'?
You know the image cannot lie.
Sometimes the view can make you cry.
Reality bites when you hear folk say
'My God, you're looking old today!'
Your eyes are tired, sunken, red
Just like when you're up and out of bed
The worry is, that it's midday
Your hairs all messy, wiry, grey.
Movement becomes erratic, painful, slow.
It won't be long before you go.
You've realized you're getting old
You're time is up, you're feeling cold.
Just once more you'd like to hear.
Something to fill your heart with cheer
What will they say when you are dead?
This thought, it messes up your head.
What's the point of being here?
When you don't have someone, loving, near.
Tomorrow is another day nearer the grave
Another crashing breaking wave
Look on the bright side, you're still alive
Live for that day and you'll survive.

The Marathon.

Feet pounding ashphalt yard after yard
He never dreamed it would be so hard
Left right left right mile after mile
There is not even a trace of a smile
Passing by onlookers cheering him on
He thinks to himself,
'What has he done?'
26 miles He must have been mad
But he had to keep going
To show mum and dad.
The training regime hadn't been easy.
At times he had felt very queezy.
In the back of his mind. another voice said
You must have been mad, you could end up dead.
Illnesses almost scupperd the thought
Of running this distance.
His concentration once again taut.
The final drinks station had long passed him by
The finish line suddenly appeared in his eye.
As he crosses the line, his ordeal complete
It finally hit him, The extent of his feat
54 years old Not young anymore.
Next year AGAIN?
NO chance His toes were too sore.
It's a once in a lifetime experience
To complete this hard task
But to try it again
That's TOO much to ask!
