I've worked in factories, hospitality, cleaning, until my knees and mind went 😅 living a much quieter life, posting stuff I write/make. Irish poet living in Glasgow, I make collages! Just doing my best to help anywhere I can to support artists/activists 💚

So, for context, for any new folks, I'm pretty much self-taught in everything, not here for profit, just hoping to inspire others if possible, share others' talent when I can. The poems I'm sharing from books I've since taken off amazon in protest. Just gonna throw it all out here for free.

Thankful on my knees
For all the love that your touch
Decrees, worshipper.

An existential
Indecision, can't say what
Or who I prefer.

Fallen leaves, each a
Work of natural art, by
Autumnal design.

I didn't write this,
You did, when you decided
To leave, words bled out.

Tendrils, benefits of an

Kept bending, nauseated,
Walking upside down.

And desecrate these grounds, this
Urn, all out of spite.

One more song, a final ode
To the setting sun.

Soft pulse from festive lighting,

A new age, a decade of
Yellowing decay.

Too long, curled pages, fragile
Bindings, a torn spine.

A general attitude

From me to you, the support
Is felt, love you all.

Use our imagination,
Not blindly accept.

Murmuration forming shapes
In ceaseless ripples.

Crushed by the hush, our
Witty banter turned to mush,
Left to rot in slush.

Passing moments
Change of reason
I walk ahead
To the end of the street
Days gone by
Rushing fast
Past what was
What is
And what will ever be
Into eternities end

#Reflection -

a word that
invites stillness,
an invitation to lean in,
to listen, to see
to understand
to hold the weight of what surfaces,
and what lies beneath the surface,
calling us to an encounter
with something deeper

A leather-bound book of recycled paper, a gift from my wife, in which I occasionally scribble things.
