I began making music before I was 4 years old and it seems to me that I had also always written poetry, on scraps of paper, or in school books and later stored in vast amounts on my computer.  
I have enough for several books of poetry, but have always hesitated to publish as my dream was to have beautiful, hard backed slim volumes and such things are expensive to produce; unless of course a literary publishing house is involved.
As of 2025, I am at a stage where I have selected some of the poems to be published in taix separate volumes and I can only ask you to watch this space as this all comes to fruition.

Very excited about this little dream.

I am also in process of creating a secon YouTube chahannel dedicated to this work.

Just like music, poetry springs from somewhere within, but is more contemplative and slower, asking you to ponder and think and go deeper.

ALCHEMY

Alchemy, the stuff of legends, turning metals into gold,
So we were told,
But whether that will ever happen, is yet to be known,
By anyone;
And yet, the alchemy of the soul happens all the time,
Turns spiritual water into wine,
By using all the hurts, the wounds, the betrayals and the lies
Done in darkness, away from your eyes,
Becoming fuel to build a new part,
Of your so afflicted heart
And learn the lessons that make you stronger,
As you wander
In the journey of the spirit
Gaining power from those who buised you
Used you,
Until you rise above,
With the alchemy of love.
