The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

By Stanley Collymore



In reality we’re actually complete strangers to each

other not having previously met or even spoken

to one another before, yet intrinsically and

quite astonishingly strange, although by

no means peculiar in the least, a

consummate and remarkable

understanding seems to have spontaneously

developed between the two of us, that

had it occurred in circumstances

where, however transiently so,

we’d physically met before it

would instinctively have been

specifically categorized I know

and generally accepted by

those aware of it, including

ourselves, as a tangible

sign of mutual chemistry between us.

But in the clear absence of any concrete physical

or clear-cut emotional stuff, the pertinent and

engrossing question is, how should we

realistically define what’s really going

on between us, knowing that the

present situation alone if left

entirely to itself is quite

evidently from both

our perspectives

perceptually

not enough?

Author’s Remarks:

The poem: “Physically Strangers but emotionally Soul Mates” and that is featured here, is written specifically for all those who think and even happily convince themselves on the basis of strictly subjective and personal reasons that are themselves encapsulated either in a lack of courage, will power or capacity on that individual’s part to skilfully transmit their perceived emotions to the person whom they most desire in the world to receive them; a situation compounded by the additional and absolute failure to appreciate or significantly grasp the fact that loving someone in total silence is all well and good if the person who is actively involved in such a pursuit is fully content to live in a fantasy world of their own making.



However in real life and the actual world of pragmatism it is not only and unambiguously a non-strategy but likewise an unmistakable non-starter in itself, as well as an utterly absurd exercise if the desired end goal is to formulate any kind of meaningful relationship that has even the remotest bearing on or any probable success in relation to a truly constructive and beneficial, let alone a long-lasting relationship of the amorous kind.

By Stanley Collymore



Absolute trust and unfettered cooperation are key characteristics

of every meaningful doctor patient relationship, for without

them nothing of substance really exists. No such schism,

however, did ever raise its ugly head in the several

years that thankfully and most gratefully as well

you’ve been my GP, and I shall eternally be

indebted to you for everything you’ve

professionally done for me coupled

with your innate compassion,

intuitive understanding of my

medical needs and your

adept skills in always

efficiently dealing

with them.



Therefore the pending retirement from your present

and longstanding position as a highly competent,

thoroughly respected, greatly admired and

deeply loved practising GP and friend

although a consummate loss I know

for everyone of us who knows you

and have over the years benefited

enormously from your commitment,

untiring devotion to your work as well as

your friendship is somewhat tempered

by the joy and knowledge that you

won’t be departing entirely, but

rather in that altruistic spirit

for which you’re very well

known will as a medical

counsellor continue to

minister to the same

community which

quite justifiably

holds you in

such high

regards.

For Dr John Blechynden: professionally and in every other regard a most remarkable human being, on his recent retirement. You’ll be sorely missed!
