I thought about you today.

Thought about the dimples burrowing in your cheeks, and the warm breath softness of your skin. I wondered what you’re wondering about,  what your hopes and dreams are, what you wake up each morning thinking about. Are you a dewey morning person or a sacred night owl? I wondered what your favourite colour is, and […]

Is this masculinity?

And: And: every step is a cold skeleton hand on lungs grasping gasping my breath falters anticipating frozen waiting  for the back lash the front lash the lashing white hot fire  licking hairs on my neck every stomp every punched wall  a reminder a warning of how hard you can  punch of how much you […]

We were smarter,

weren’t we? When we were young? When there wasn’t this war waging between head and heart and gut. When it was full-bodied doing, full-bodied being.

She was soaked in seduction, opened like a lotus in front of a camera, but unfurled into introversion away from its gaze. In those moments, I only ever wanted to crawl inside her, and wrap her shy and fragile whimsy […]

Candles – 2014

When I first met you, my cranberry-scented candles stood tall on my bedside table. Thick red cylinders of fruity scent, waiting to be lit and burned for 40 hours. When you first slept over, you wanted to sleep with them burning. And though I didn’t want to waste my precious wicks, for you I let […]

I’m not a good communicator.

That’s what he said. I studied Professional Communication (a degree combining journalism, PR and media), but:  I’m not a good communicator. I spend my days storytelling for a living, through video, words, images, but: I’m not a good communicator. I’ve built my life around communicating, but: I’m not a good communicator. And somewhere along the […]

Universe,

I’ll leave it up to you: How I’ll get around, Where I’ll sleep, What my poison is tonight.  And,  I’ll write you a song: To help you get to sleep, and because that’s the only way I can show you what the next five years could look like. Universe,  I’ve been searching for a place […]
