To think we live under a trillion stars with planets among us that look like ours. Beyond this galaxy, even more exist! With a number, you can’t think of because it’s too big. The universe is like bubbles in a bath, moving away from each other and popping in your grasp. Remove the plug, and […]
I feel alone. No one is watching me as my life is postponed. The friction from the wind dances with my soul. Is life a moment to be held in the cold? I’m writing a template for a time that was felt – in the sky – under the lemon meringue horizon belt. The framework […]
I’ve stood in a stadium before my arrival to Earth. I walked past Prince William and Harry – wearing super white suits and black boots, smiling with girth. Will Smith had a lot to say, so I listened to his conspiracy theories and future of birth. Muhammad Ali exchanged nods as we talked about boxing […]
A young girl arose with confidence and charisma. She was given an unforeseen future; she spoke to a nation with stories of hope and led her sister to join the folk. For a girl, life seemed full of scope, but for a woman, a burden slowly awoke. Could anyone carry the weight of a Monarchy? […]
I can’t think anymore – it’s black with nothing left to give. These blue eyes seem to be getting smaller, with the grey hairs growing thinner over a wrinkled brow.

Put your favourite song on and read these words. I feel something; can you feel it through your mind? It whispers a thought, a picture, a sequence, a powerful vibration and a film; making you feel in this moment of time. Relax into yourself, let your muscles deflate, let your mind turn outside in. You […]
Poetry is an art that defines creativity, using language as a sequence of words. A poet can take you on a journey, send you a message, open up hidden layers of consciousness, tell you a story or fabricate an alternative dimension inside your mind that only you can access. Human beings will one day be […]
Past poems talk of stars that softly fall into your arms. Poets speak and sing of love as it hides under a dying Sun. A beautiful woman calls to her man, in the morning when the sea-salt passes through the sands. The cold waves wash in feelings of warmth as the rays from the North […]
