He never dreamed that he would meet her, watching her as she smiles
Her eyes sparkling with unrestrained love of life, bright white teeth exposed
He can’t help but smile back, the world stopping
He can’t see anything but her, crowds vanishing for those few seconds
She laughs, grabbing his hand
The touch of her warm skin, sending shivers through his system
In that moment, he knows without reservation that she’s the one
And he could quite happily spend his life with her
The citrus scent of her hair drifts on the summer breeze
Tantalising him as her curls are blown around her face
She ignores it, as she races for the sea
Dragging him along in her wake, urging him on
She’s always been driving him on, and he watches
Her dive into the murky black water, only lit
with the glow of the moon
he has to stand back, his fear overwhelming him
She emerges from the deep,
unable to stay away from him for long
It’s always been that way
Like Gravity

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things.
The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at.
It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track.
I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
