"I have written all my life in one way or another, my passion for poetry has never waned and it is my greatest passion still. A wasted youth and an Eighteen year Military career gave me a dearth of material and emotion on which to draw. I am disabled both Physically and Emotionally and that impedes my work, a restricted short term memory does cause difficulties and my grammar suffers for it, indeed I try to draw strength from it. Having written Six books of poetry dealing with Military life my romanticised soul is now free (well sort of) to indulge and I am writing with other passionate emotions of Love, Lust and Life, I have also begun writing Novels which I am enjoying.I have begun putting my work to Video and working with musicians using my work as lyrics."


“Words in a poem are like petals on a flower, only together, in the right position, at the right time are they seen as they should be.”
