If you fancy witchy feats
Or the flow of Blake and Keats,
Find yourself a reading nook --
Take a journey with my books.
So to start, if you're a youth
Searching for some mythic truth,
Take the lead and have a read
Of 'The Phoenix on the Roof'.
If you like dark fairy-tales --
Wonders, horrors, magick veiled,
Try 'The Boy Who Plays With Doves'.
Hope this story you will love.
As for me, I'm just a being --
Writing, thinking, feeling, seeing.
Verse and music feed my soul
When the real world takes its toll.
