My 'day' job is working in data entry for a local hospital, but it's my writing which holds my fascination, without it I would be lost in a constant round of routines and surface pleasantries. I am aged thirty eight, I am married with one son, Daniel, who wants to make films when he leaves school, and I have a dog called Max, who is officially a Yorkshire Terier, but he's bigger than he should be, I fear his mother went walking beyond the family kennel...

Sleep Forever

Sadly sleep the dreamless drifting

of a mind turning circles inside the storm,
catch raindrops and paint them with
the colours of the rainbows...

  ...stitch the stars to the sky,
make patterns of light within the
chaos of infinite change,
let the night kiss you with wonder...

  ...if you could sleep forever,
if you could whisper the songs of creation,
you might see the seeds of infinity,
you might know the glory of lost Elysium...


Rain

Hide behind a veil of clouds,
bright light kissing the stars,
midnight making music
where silence once held sway.
 
Lost inside a waking dream,
thoughts become memories,
madness becomes music,
the whispers remain to haunt...
 
Pieces of my life fall
in unison with the rain,
my life is a heavy downpour,
my love a puddle in the road.


Inside the Empty Room

Be the thing which you see inside,
the face behind the veil
someone seeking something,
some soft pause before the fall into irrelevance;
you are melodrama lost to fragility.
 
Escape into the fields,
hide behind nature,
lose the purpose of common sense out where
the roads turn to dust and road signs are always
bent backwards.
 
Make your mystic melody into the dark parody
of a terminal revelation,
feel the torrid fire burning just behind your eyes...
words are made to confuse,
deception rides like the devil in your soul.
 
Can you feel yourself dancing?
There is a stark eloquence to your vast
sequestration, it takes the heart out of the light,
you are left mesmerised by the sheer audacity
of your desperate need to find love in an empty room.
