Daniel Cavanagh and I teamed up to bring several of my poems to life. The poems can be found in my latest book: WORD THIEF.
The Best Pessimist is a melancholic song. Simple too. But nothing is ever as it first appears to be.

Thank you all

rootless

spoken poetry about how we sometimes think about words but they cannot be said out loud for different reasons. One might be that we use words that are too complicated to pronounce.

all the words I never knew

“Splinters of Silence” is a spoken-word piece that captures the weight of unsaid words and the spaces between them. With raw emotion and vivid imagery, this poem explores the fragments of silence that shape our most intimate moments. Listen as each pause, each word, and each breath pulls you deeper into a world where silence speaks louder than anything left unsaid.

The Splinters of Silence


“Threads” is a journey into the unseen connections that bind us, lingering quietly in the spaces between. Inspired by the delicate threads of memory, presence, and warmth, it explores the universal bonds that weave through time, reminding us of the profound connections that shape who we are.

Special thanks to Daniel Cavanagh for his input. The dreamlike ethereal music elevates my words into the spheres that I envisioned.

THREADS with Weather Systems

Silver Rivers" is a quiet, reflective piece about change, resilience, and the stories written on our skin. It doesn’t demand your attention but invites you to sit with it, to feel the rawness and simplicity of words that speak to the heart.

Sensual poem, narrated by me. It's a raw recording. Impulsive, a first take.

Possessed

I forgot to think about you today,
and I felt it
with every fibre of my being,
like the absence of breath
in a quiet room,
like a song stilled mid-note,
or a sunless morning
trying to find its way to light.

Are you missing me
and the hugs my words gave you,
the ones you never asked for
but always knew how to keep,
folded in the quiet corners
of your guarded heart?

It wasn’t intentional,
this forgetting of you,
but the silence it left
echoed louder than words,
carving spaces in my mind
where your name
used to linger.

Did you ever wonder
how I could craft warmth from distance
or weave tenderness into longing
without ever touching
the fragile parts of you
you tried so hard to hide?

My heart noticed before I did,
beating slower,
like it missed a step
in a dance we always knew,
one we never rehearsed
but moved through
effortlessly, endlessly.

Are you missing me
or is it the comfort of knowing
someone could see you,
not everywhere but somewhere,
and still stay?

I forgot to think about you today,
and the forgetting became
its own kind of remembering.
Even in absence,
you were everywhere.
