Hi!

I'm now 20 years old and I love to write poetry. I have a lot of old stuff that I'm only just putting up now because I've recently become re-inspired so you'll find a fair bit of diversity between my new and old poems.

I also love to read so I'll most likely favourite a lot of stuff. In poetry I like Nature, Religion and Fantasy the most. In stories though I prefer Fantasy or Family or Mythology. I also don't mind essays on religion, concepts or politics. In saying that don't expect me to write any stories because I'm terrible at it though I might put up some essays.

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. -- T.E. Lawrence

You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But, when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. -Chinese Proverb

A hundred elephants can wreck the outer walls of a fortress. One diseased rat can kill all those inside.

Duct Tape is like the Force. It has a Light Side. A Dark Side.And it holds things together.

Note: Sorry for not updating in so long, uni has been absolutely hectic and I haven't had any time. I'll try and get things up as I write them but I'll probably still end up posting stuff up months after they're written. Thanks for those that have reviewed me and I'll try to reply but you may find yourself with replies to reviews months after the fact. thanks again to everybody who has reviewed, nothing provides a better inspiration.

Hey Everyone,
My poetry list is now getting rather long and since my tastes in writing poetry can be quite different from one moment to the next there might be some stuff of mine that you like and other stuff that you loathe. Having said that I thought that putting up lists of the general categories under which I think my stories fall might be interesting for you so that you can spot any that you think you might like but have missed. I'll update these lists when I update so you can have a quick reference to what types of poetry the poems might be (of course some are already covered by the genres but extra clarity is always helpful :) ). Stuff from my last 2 uploads will be in bold and italicised. Anyways so here they are:

Shades of Grey (heading towards dark but not totally there): So Sad, Death by Proxy,

Dark (more heavy stuff, avoid if your young or upset easily): A Chain to the Grave, Fall of Pride/Fragmentation, A Taste of Fear, Fractured Mirror, Fade Away, Good Intention, Pirate’s Treasure

Love and Hope:A Song of Hope, Love the Death of Heart, Mystery/Heart’s Hope, Stars of Heaven, Rose of Love, First Deception
