In this collection of poems, we are presented with a glimpse into the depths of the human experience. The words flow like a river, carrying emotions, questions, and reflections that resonate with the reader’s soul. Each verse is a brushstroke on the canvas of existence, painting vivid images of longing, introspection, and the complexities of love.The poet, with a delicate touch, explores the intricate intricacies of life’s journey. Through the ebb and flow of their words, we are transported to a realm where silence speaks volumes and darkness holds secrets. It is a place where the mundane becomes profound, and everyday moments are infused with profound meaning.

Coffee and Solace

Within is the laundry list of a poor unfortunate soul, a hungry flirtatious sweet tooth.She is Icarus without Apollo.Reborn from ashes hoping to turn the residual melancholy into a spectacle.She writes of heartache and loneliness, joy, and comfort, how art shapes her world.She writes with a burning, writhing need to understand her humanity.She writes about everyone she’s ever met, and the people she never will.Within is a love letter to herself, and to all the ones who can’t use their words.Within is a promise to keep loving all the beautiful, disgusting, amazing, horrendous parts of herself.She writes alone in the a.m, hoping her words scream loud enough before her coffee goes cold.

Triumph of the Imagination

These poems seemed to write themselves over twenty years, until I was about forty years old, a time when I was teaching and bringing up a family of very lively nippers.

The nippers have now developed into very effective leaders!

This is my response to ‘Triumph of the Will’…

Triumph of the Imagination.

They are best read in sequence at about a third a session, I suggest. I hope you enjoy them.

Perceptions of a Christian

This collection of poems is written with confronting honesty, intense expression, and contemporary accessibility.

Poetry of My Modern Life

In this debut book, the author strives to capture the essence of the world he inhabits: a world that, in truth, resonates with everyone, as it touches on the universal right to individual thoughts and opinions. Through his reflections on modern, 21st-century life, the author explores the new age challenges and situations we all face, subtly inviting readers to consider his perspective.

With a background in songwriting, the author brings a unique viewpoint to his writing. He believes that what might make for a mediocre song can, in fact, become a powerful poem, depending on how it’s viewed. This book offers readers a chance to see life through his lens, encouraging them to reflect on their own points of view.

The author hopes that readers will find his work not only thought-provoking but also genuinely enjoyable – a true reflection of his intention in sharing his writing journey.

A Life of Reflections

Some poems provide comfort and help in coming to terms with life’s challenges, while others encourage deeper thought. Whether touching on sadness, joy, humour, or personal truth, each poem tells a story.

Writing poetry is something I have done for most of my life, but writing it down makes me feel better.

Yet, amid the chaos, a void persists – she’s solitary, craving a companion to share in eternity’s dance. Can she find him? Will he be her eternal mate? What does destiny have in store for them? Dive into this atmospheric anthology of gothic poetry where verses like ‘Zombie Shift’ and ‘Scarlet Eyes’ don’t just narrate, but pull the reader into the heart of the tale, making them accomplices on this dark journey.

My Love is Mine

It speaks to the thoughts that stir in the stillness of the night, where exhilaration flirts with the agony of despair and where fierceness smoulders in both grace and anger.Through these lyrical verses, I find myself adrift, seeking solitude, perseverance, heat, and a safe haven—wherever it may be found. Somehow, amidst it all, the chaotic fire of love unfolds in all its tender and raw forms.I am full of contradictory wounds, scars that ache to heal. But if they don’t, maybe it’s time to just learn to dance with my demons, once and for all.Open the pages and get lost in this wondrous journey titledMy Love is Mine.

A Miscellany of Musings

Oh! What a sorry state
We’re in, Britannia’s fate:
No longer great, but cool!

The trumpets blare new rules,
Empire days of pride innate
And long-slain dragons out of date.

St George is dead.
Long live the fools.

(‘Cool Britannia’)

Zen Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Out of Body Experience

Zen Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Out of Body Experience is an archetypal journey of a man who was discriminated against all his life and framed for a murder he did not commit.He has the power inside to harness outer body experiences, a shadow walker through time made up of worm holes into the past and future. A remarkable short story with a collection of poems.

Everything Starts With an Emotion

Every choice we make is driven by emotion, whether it’s happiness, sadness, or anger. Our feelings shape the decisions that define our lives. Everything Starts With an Emotion is a powerful collection of poems that takes readers on an emotional journey. These poems are hopeful, raw, and deeply resonant, offering reflections that many will find relatable. No matter how heavy the weight of a dark cloud may feel, the sun will always rise again.

The Relic of Trying

Tropes and archetypes have been the backbone of storytelling for millennia, portraying characters predestined to fulfill certain roles before they even have a chance to discover their true selves. However, this traditional narrative approach isn’t the only path stories can take. The Relic of Trying employs epic, romantic poetry to breathe life into a variety of characters and settings, who find themselves in peculiar predicaments.Imagine a God killer burdened with guilt, a fresh retelling of the dancing plague, or a robot that fails to achieve its intended function. In this collection, perspectives are shifted, casting historical narratives in a human light. The poems explore the intersection of performance, obligation and free will, weaving through diverse epochs and reinterpreting myths and legends. These poems break away from focusing on the protagonists’ triumphs; instead, they delve into tales of their struggles and failures, offering a unique and humanizing take on timeless narratives.
