Spooky little bookish poet with a love for stoic philosophy and spontaneous prose. Words are a canvas of typos & introspection. Witchy AF. Oh, and I love coffee. 🚫 No DMs, please. Unless it’s Dungeons and Dragons.
And so I wander — not lost, only tuned in — letting Manchester make music of my footsteps, turning ramble into rhapsody.

To the self that stays, to the heart that waits, your truth is the anchor. Don't drift with the tides. They need to not only support, but believe 100% you.

Through mist, a lighthouse,
Distant, tall, dependable,
Yet how it guides me
Across treacherous water!
How I’d love to reach the shore.

Memories at the back of our minds, but not on past lips.
Harmonious silence; I know your stories far too well.

I say too much,
I say nothing at all.
I say truth, and false and liminal fact.
I say yes, I say no, I say maybe if not at all.
I say my heart beats,
I say my soul weeps,
I say I laugh then cry then sleep.
I say-say, my playmate.

There are some old roads,
We know too well,
imperfections,
beauty,
Pot-holes,
We keep walking them
Experiencing transits
That often do little else
But remind us
How well we know
Our old roads.

Perhaps some tea,
Perhaps a beer.
Get a bag & put the map in.
How hard can it be?
What’s there to fear?
Must it be feast or famine?
Drive up & see.
Point north & steer.
Maybe meet a chap named Alan.
