Owen Tilley came to poetry later in life. His first twenty-five years were spent building a career in finance. Creativity got the better of him when he received a present, a notebook, from a friend. Inside, it read; 'be inspired'. And he has been ever since.
His poetry makes for a heartfelt, philosophical and thought-provoking read.
'Prism - an anthology' was created over the space of almost a year, when the poetic and creative took its hold on him.
Owen's intention was to give the reader the opportunity to interpret his poetry in their own way, for their own benefit. It was also written with the thought that life, in all its forms, can be challenging.
Yet we are faced with the opportunity to either rise above the challenges we face or allow them to take over and control us.
"I know which I choose," Owen says - a reason why he started putting pen to paper and poetry to the page.
Give me sweetest smile -
It costs nothing but gives much
I walk out in the thunder
In the beauty of twilight.
It hits me that, at sundown,
When my place of home is 'found' -
The light comes in the
Darkness of the night
This is a collection of poems written about love and sadness.
