This has been a recent and welcome discovery. There’s a lot of content but the warmth and enthusiasm is infectious and soon you’ll be hoping to find someone else who’s into it so you can talk to them about it.

Fool
Take what you are given
Seeing the guilt
there and wondering what
you did to cause it
other than try to walk
a path lit by goodness
and, sin shows you,
how self denial is a performance
when the reward gathers dust,
you
naive
fool
what
were
you
thinking?
to love so much it hurts
to breathe beneath the
weight of it
and the blade turns
opening the wound
wide enough
to fall through
into nothing
but a quiet, dignified
sadness
Because you should know
By now
It is in
On you
But God you love
And you just want to show her
Without being destroyed by it
Ssh
Barely more than a whisper
Because I’m less inclined
But more sure than ever
Able to step back
Down up and to the side
You’re a lot of great stories
And my relief lies within the
burden
Of performance worn to keep
My place at your side
These sweet dreams don’t fade away
On waking and the thought of betrayal
Leaves an acid taste to even consider it
But all my prayers are actions,
Worn but protective
Like the winter coat
And the pre loved books

On Writing And Process
My forthcoming book Until She Sings represents a lot of things all together and I thought I would pop up and talk about my writing.
Part of being productive is being organised and not just generating ideas but fleshing them out into finished work. My process has changed in line with experience and perspective, so there’s less guesswork and more content produced.
I’ve always been prolific and I’m curating the work to make available for sale because I figure if someone likes one thing of mine then having more work available makes sense.
There are more stages now because it’s all sourced in the idea of selling my writing, so I have to consider cover art, descriptive copy and brand marketing which are important to keep things interesting.
First drafts now are written to outline, in longhand and then edited as they get typed up. I have other books coming but I’m taking things with more seriousness.
If you’ve enjoyed my writing then you’ll be able to buy it and it represents the best possible art I can make.
I hope you will be part of this with me.
