A collection of short poems that investigate the nature of 'opposites', and how everything has within it contradictions and conflict.

Life is like standing on the edge of a smoking abyss. This collection provides insights into how to look into the abyss and try to make sense of such a vast, smouldering unknown. We need insight to help us analyse what is hidden or obscured. Without insight, the task is like looking at images through wisps of smoke that distort, disguise and disrupt. Even when the smoke thins, often only blackness is revealed.

This compilation consists of five published collections of short poems (49 songs of silent sirens, 49 islands set in a single sea, 49 gods we serve, 49 chances to exist and 49 insights into the smoking abyss), a book of short aphorisms (299 contradictory truths) and four short, essays: (X) how one simple metaphor can reveal many complicated concepts, (Y) why no truth is universally true, (=) how only change equals progress, (?) who has the rig...

A collection of 299 aphorisms on life, love, wisdom and foolishness.

This anthology is a compilation of 469 short poems that contain something buried at a deeper level... and it is up to each reader to decide what roots hide beneath the branches of each one.

These 'chances to exist' can be anything, from a creation in spirit or imagination to a creation in fear or flesh. The subtitle - perception - indicates that there are many ways of seeing and understanding each of these poems, some ways are friendly but some are frightening. This book is the first in a set of three collections whose contents all have different interpretations... if you care to look for them.

These 'songs of silent sirens' can be anything, from our most destructive desires to our most terrifying fears to our most sacred secrets.The subtitle - compulsion - indicates what lies beneath each of these poems, out of sight but in control.This book is the first in a set of three collections whose contents all have hidden connections... if you care to look for them.

These 'gods we serve' can be anything, from discrete indulgences to all-consuming addictions that pervert personalities, prejudices and preferences. The subtitle - belief - indicates that there are some strange and sordid things that appear to be accepted without proof in each of these poems, some conventional but some far beyond convention. This book is the third in a set of three collections whose contents all have hidden connections... if y...

Each poem is specifically about transition, either physically or mentally. Every transition reveals a hidden connection, in the same way changing a geographical or intellectual position reveals a difference between an old viewpoint and a new viewpoint. As indicated by the title, no matter how unique we are, every single aspect of ourselves can be classified or categorised as sharing aspects of a larger group, like unique islands sharing a sing...

A broken building is, metaphorically, something not able to function as dreamed of or as designed for, something structurally unsound due to it being deliberately destabilised or let fall into disrepair because of attack, neglect or ignorance. It is a frail, inadequate shelter that houses otherwise homeless or lost emotions. It is not a dream built but a dream broken. It is not what was or what could have been but what is. It is a profound sen...

A missed call is, metaphorically, a lost opportunity to engage with someone or to learn something, either purposefully or accidentally. These poems try to describe the emotions (disappointment, doubt, despair, dread, etc.) that such a lost opportunity often causes. Of course, missed calls happen both ways. For example, which parent hasn't experienced trepidation when their teenage child away on some life adventure doesn't answer their calls?

These 200 explanations reference the poems in 99 broken buildings and 99 missed calls by the same author (plus 2 bonus poems that are the opposite of a broken building and a missed call). A 'broken building' is a metaphor for something that was built with love and care (such as a relationship) but which is now, at best, poorly maintained or, at worst, lost. A 'missed (or lost) call' is a metaphor for loss and anxiety (who was it? what was it a...

There are many philosophical landscapes (religion, art, etc.) just as there are many physical landscapes (forests, mountains, etc.). To see then understand them, we need illumination then reflection, hence the title 'reflections on landscapes'. Philosopher poets illuminate entire landscapes, but my aim is simply to try to shine a little light on these 99 tiny patches of land just enough to allow you to reflect on them from your own unique view...

These explanations are not just meant to clarify the metaphors, allegories and analogies but also to explain my philosophy in each one (although there is no right explanation: these are mine and you will have your own). For poetry (and philosophy) to be understood and absorbed, it must be accessible: text should be in everyday language and form should be of simple construction. Like fables or parables, subtle depths of meaning will become appa...

A comprehensive, funny and useful guide for beginner gardeners who know the apocalypse is coming, and that growing fruit and veg will help.

Condensation is something changing from one state to another, like vapour condensing onto glass or ideas condensing onto paper. Fresh new droplets of condensation seem to appear out of thin air, as do fresh new thoughts. The tiny droplets of thought condensed onto these pages are mostly descriptions of conflicts and contrasts but somehow they gradually seem to become integrated and organised. Similarly condensed drops, like words, seem to some...
