The Whisper: Poems to lighten the dark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781913140502)

Fearless is the favourite of my early poems, and it's only three lines long. A Day in the Sun, my final piece was my first ever structured poem written in my teens. Poems such as Once Frozen, Lost Souls and the Leap of Faith reflect the attitudes and emotions experienced whilst trapped in a superficial world where being selfish, high and getting laid supersede all other essential activities like family, finding a loved one, or developing one's inner spirituality. Chapter two reminds me that around 27 years old I was desperately searching for a soul mate. Only now I do I realise that it is futile unless you really learn how to love yourself first. Chapter three is my ode to nature and everything natural. It has a relaxed flow. Chapter four is recognition that everything I am was formulated here. In chapters five and six I hope the reader recognises that my style has developed and with it I have matured, my perspective on life is beginning to change and I am starting to see the world for what it is and how things really work. Chapter seven looks back to the past to almost justify my behaviour by explaining my actions, whilst blames part of society, whilst trying, naively, to look forward at how I could change the world so that others don't have to go through what I went through. Chapter nine, I woke and begins to accept that I am indeed an addict and only have myself to blame. I try to explain the emotions that addicts feel, whilst appealing to someone who is not inclined to self-sabotage, or needs to seek help, but perhaps recognises the symptoms in those they love and care for. I aim to ease the suffering for both. Finally, Chapter ten speaks for itself. Death being a very powerful force in my life which hopefully one day we can all come to terms with. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed the fact that Wayward will get my message to you all.
