I have been writing and drawing now for a long time with a limited audience, always operating under the belief that I need not share my work with others in order to enjoy it. The audience was not the point of the work, but rather self-expression. I have come to suspect though that self-expression without an audience is a shouting at the wind sort of exercise, and I would be lying if I did not admit I crave some feedback. The result is here. My attempt to use the wonders of this modern age to showcase some of what I have been doing to keep my hands and brain busy for the last 35 years... I hope someone enjoys viewing it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Food for Thought of a Wall Climbing Plant

Food for thought of a Wall Climbing Plant

Alabaster echoes of new anxiety

Whitewashed over fences of violation

Ivory carvings of hopes and dreams

Pearlescent in a setting sun.


Ebon eyes staring from dead dreams

Shadowed wonderings of anxiety

Charcoal wastelands within ideas

Leached out highlights of dead fashion.


I can taste your true colours

And it is brutal bruise blue

Under a rainbow of indecision

Do you wonder what is true?

Kaleidoscope memory of a time now gone

Rainbow visions never heard of in song

Incandescent imaginings lost in a fog

Khaki ambitions running in the wood

Tunes of muted neon

Fading to shades of prayer.


I am the turpentine upon canvas

We are the scissors cutting life’s magazine

Creating a mosaic of inter-personality

They are the implements of inter-invention

And you will never be worthy

Because you cannot see the palette

The Morning Sky



The Morning Sky


Her gentle touch, her heartfelt sigh,

All things remembered with the mourning sky.


Her smile was peace, her hopes set high,

All things forgotten with the mourning sky.


Her boisterous laugh, with wit as sly,

All things brought back with the mourning sky.


Her passion held close, in your heart held nigh,

All things once loved with the mourning sky.


Heartache and pain, in caring do try,

All things so sorrowed with the mourning sky.


Her love and her spirit, with a tear in your eye,

All things held so dear with the mourning sky.


Her memory held close, her soul lost to the sky,

A morning to whisper one final goodbye.

Self Images



Just a picture so I can learn how this all works... more to come.
