There's so many little things, terrifying and closing thoughts away. Maybe this will give you something to do when you're lonely and tired, and need to think a little too much. Give this a chance, and stop holding your breath or the pen between your teeth. Even ink needs an audience willing to insanity and strange ideas.

"Midnight Polaroid" captures a love frozen in time. The kind that feels like you never want to wake up from. Through vivid imagery of neon lights, laughter and moonlit memories, it tells the story of two souls immortalised in snapshots where every photograph holds a heartbeat. It's a song bout love, memories, and quiet magic moments that never fade even as time moves on. a cinematic poem for those who believe love is both art and memory.

I am big enough to know myself and the world, but every time I try to venture into something new, there is this thing that stops me!!! I found a talent, a need to express myself! It is in the form of short poems, expressing my thoughts, which express my feelings, which express me and my life! *First upload - be kind*

Ange: The Borrower of Barter Books is a light-hearted tribute inspired by my work colleague, Angela Foggon, who is affectionately known to all of us simply as Ange. Ange and I work together Front of House in the Station Buffet Café at Barter Books in Alnwick. Long before I joined the team, Ange was already a familiar and much-loved presence there, known for her sense of humour, quick wit, and ability to make people smile. Over the years, she has become one of those people who helps make Barter Books the special place that it is. Ange is also famously the smallest member of our crew, which has led to plenty of affectionate teasing and workplace jokes, many of which have found their way into this poem. The poem playfully exaggerates my unfortunate habit of accidentally bumping into her. These incidents, along with references to her Borrower-like stature, are written purely for comedic effect and are intended with warmth, friendship, and admiration. In reality, the poem is not really about Ange's height at all. It is about her character, her humour, and the positive impact she has on the people around her. It also celebrates something I greatly admire about her: her determination to give up smoking following a diagnosis of COPD. It was not an easy journey, but she showed remarkable strength and commitment, and it has been wonderful to see her looking healthier and happier as a result. Above all, this poem was written as a thank you. Thank you for the laughter, the banter, the friendship, and the positivity Ange brings to every shift. While the poem pokes fun at her size, it is really a celebration of the person she is, because those who know Ange know that there is absolutely nothing small about her kindness, resilience, sense of humour, or heart. This poem is dedicated to Angela "Ange" Foggon, a valued colleague, a treasured friend, and one of the people whose warmth and personality help make Barter Books feel like home to so many people.

Another poem by yours truly

You weave an invisible thread; an unending worry and longing to mend

These poems aren't perfect. They aren't polished. They're just real - written at midnight, at 2am, and everywhere my mind wandered. A journey through love, unlove, heartbreak, healing, and everything messy in between. If you've ever felt too much or too quietly... you'll find yourself here.
