NEW MEMBER SAYING HELLO TO ALL YOU LOVELY POETS	Hi All, thanks for reading - I'm a military child and an ex traveller of Europe and Thailand, as I went in search of my dreams abroad - at one point they came to a sudden end as I was admitted to hospital at 25 after taking drugs - I'm not proud of that but I did turn my life around....I ended up travelling again for years. Since then I have gained many qualifications taken up the guitar and written songs and poetry. i am a qualified Social Care and Nurse Worker and Hairdresser although currently suffering with Fybromyalgia which is very debilitating .I have left my old pain behind and am now entering a new phase of my life. I'm so happily married and in our second year together now! Long may you all love and live happily - here's to turning things around!

Eternal bones	Eternal As the tick tock of time starts catching up with me Soon these bones will be older as the cracks appear to see Like a wine maturing so does my mind knowing full well ill have to leave it behind Ironic really striving to be the best Ill end up on a pile with all the bones at best! Will I return ? That is unclear! Yet worrying over that wont help me here! Will i meet my dear departed that left the earth before I? Which journey should I take on this path where i die.. Ive watched the world change along with surprise Seen the rain forests dissapear watched the sun start to rise Watched the waves engulf the shore and dissapear into the still calm waters once more... Ive sat with the rich and dined without a dime Sinned with the sinners and drank their fine wine Yet the beauty I have is fragile I know As ill never see any of this again once I go... Fill my eyes with more than the seven wonders Ill take all you can show me and more! I want more! All the riches you can keep! I want more, So much more for me to be! I want more, All the memories I can hold! Is this life eternal? Or will I just get old?

How to publish your book for free	Samuel Durant wrote: www.lulu.com Make an MS Word document with a pagebreak after every poem, submit it. Choose your cover art. Bam, you're a published poet. You can get an ISBN and list on Amazon, too. **** publishers, go for the gold.
