Dresden
We like to think we are honourable , Obviously we never saw the movie ‘The Titanic’, there the men sang old glory songs as the ship went down into the dark , cold , murky depths. As a traveller of the earth, not this or that , it’s amazing to see in my little country […]
Wounded grace
Gods and monsters rage inside my head a turpentine drunk an orphaned moon drinks illumination. You were right when you told me that life is a paradox between saints and degenerates.

The Bookshop is my Magellan
I have always loved bookshops. I love browsing in them having no intention of buying. I am Magellan and the shop is my ship that circumnavigates the world of my feral imagination. In the early days of my travelling , it was cerebral, it was language inspiring the mind and heart. It was a sort […]

Billy Pilgrim
As a survivor of this mad world descending into even more madness I have been invited by WordPress to introduce myself to you. I am a scribbler of words. A desperate mystic always on the quest for something different. A lover of poetry, in particular poets that fire my soul. A left of centre leftist. […]
