Future Mistakes

written by: James Bell

@jbell_counsel

Devil forced our busted hand
We never dreamt how the lovelorn deck would land

Inner demons smiled all the while
Ever knowing we wouldn’t wander that final mile

Long forgotten angels hidden in the chasing shadows
Together, two minds raking over love’s highs and lows

Our powerless Gods forgave future mistakes as we naively guessed
What unrequited crusade first set us out on this futile lovers quest

I was born and bred in Coventry and write under the pseudonym 'Ricky Hawthorne', a character from one of my favourite books from my teenage years, 'Ghost Story' by Peter Straub. In 2002, fearing I would lose my job, I started an MBA in Theatre, Film and Literature at Warwick University, graduating in 2006. During the course I, inexplicably, developed a film narrative inside my head. I then wrote out a script. My first screenplay – ‘Myth’. Since then I have completed four more with the latest ‘Would Love to Meet’ being the first requested by a producer through Inktip. I also have written three teleplays based on my own short stories, a children’s short story, 3 stage plays, a TV Pilot and found my fondness for writing poetry return after several years of dry wood. I am married to my lovely Mairea and we have 5 children.
