Substance and Shadow

Today I release my latest creation - Substance and Shadow - 26 of my finest philosophical moments, each captured in a poem. Love, gardening, necrophilia and the meaning of life are all covered, one way or another.

My love of and sheer amazement with this world, and all its inner workings, fuel all my writing, poetry included. Good poetry rocks my core when it captures a specific feeling or idea whilst also maintaining the integrity of its vastness. I am blessed with the desire to take what seems big and make it small and take what seems small and make it big. Thus, I am a poet. Each poem reflects a moment in time where I have felt compelled to take what was seen in my mind’s eye and turn that image into words in a way that honours the depth of the picture.

Pollen and Powdery Sunshine

I was flush with life and that is how

I imagined things should be.

I had wanted to take myself out

of the spiralling city,

pop from the top of her cyclone

and land on my behind in a silent field

but for a light breeze.

Perhaps I will flop to the ground like the limbs of a scarecrow and

laugh hysterically at the relief and amazement from having escaped

certain ruin at the hands of exponential force.

Once the laughter dies down and I

can take a breath I

might stretch long, slowly

allowing the muscles of my body to

release their grip on my bones.

Fibre fingers will uncurl from my throat

and delicious honey

will coat my sense of being with pollen and powdery sunshine.
