Biography

I've never published poetry professionally before, it's really more of a hobby for me - a means of relaxation, more than anything else. Hopefully with poetry, as with most disciplines, practice will help me improve

Samples

You come to me when I least expect it, As my thoughts, idle, spiral into the inky darkness which envelops me Rising in a euphoria of hazy violet, unanchored, until you materialise, suspended above me, Drawing them around you, immersing yourself in the haze, as you Drown me in hazel and poison me with possibilities, each more fantastic than the last; Tumbling into my thoughts, ephemeral, you tint my pupils pink, until every Meaningless action is remembered rose flushed, Every snub reverberates with hushed love You flicker in and out of existence - thrumming with static Drawing closer and suffocating me in the freshly turned earth of your eyes I wait for you to settle, to solidify beside me To embrace, and not engulf But you turn cartwheels into the night, a nicotine dream, who Diffuses into the night, taking my thoughts along with him Leaving me, abandoned, heavy with renewed hope; suspended in the air Like a whisper of stale smoke
