Introduction

I write poetry in a primal-rage. For me a poem is about unlocking my inner core, in the moment of what the Old Celts deemed ríastrad – the warp-spasm. For me, this is when I'm at my rawest, and therefore truest self. What you shall read on these pages is meant to be rough, frayed a bit at the edges.

Please enjoy.

Star-Fire

Star-fire

Rising Sun,

Darkness to light,

Behold the dawn star-fire so bright.

Fire of hope and love rekindled in the heart.

Star-fire burns on the horizon so bright.

In my core burns this chaos star,

From star-fire I take my power.

Like a watchtower in the night rising sun star of hope.

Over the horizon so bright, behold the dawn.

Darkness to light, rising sun, star of hope rekindled in the heart.
