Mirror of the moon

Hand-mirror held in the moonlight, Tiny flecks of gold in my blue eyes. Lightning, hurricanes & Kyanite. 
A thousand whispered secrets, 
told through smoke in the night.

David Bowie Painting - Space Oddity

Here is a little video I put together of some older footage, I painted this portrait in 2016 as a tribute to David Bowie. I hope you enjoy the video, to accompany my painting I have used Rick Wakeman's beautiful piano cover of Space Oddity.

I have been listening to Rick Wakeman's 'Piano Portraits' album a lot lately, it sets a nice relaxing tone. The album has some really beautiful songs on it - including, a couple of Beatles covers, Led Zeppelin, Tchaikovsky and Debussy. It's a lovely album, all the songs flow together nicely and it's very peaceful. I recommend it.

Black Seed

I wish I could put into words what I feel about certain things.

It aches inside me like a black pit -

A seed, that grows and shrivels. 

Waxes and wanes. 

Some days it fills my body, like a black cloud across the sky.

I have to wait until it leaves.

Sunshine

I fixed my typewriter! It was tricky.

It's nice fixing things. Makes you feel accomplished & smart (even if you aren't). 

I got this sunshine machine to type up my completed poems.

It makes me happy to sit and type on it.

I think of writers, 

it takes me to a strange romantic place.

A place that smells like cigarettes and whiskey. 

Caliginous rooms, alive with Jazz.

Mostly, I think of Jack Kerouac.
