I was born in England, but raised in Canada until I was fourteen. I came back to England where I now reside.
I started writing seriously at eighteen, firstly with songs, then drifted into writing poetry, short stories and finally novels. About six or seven year ago I gave up writing all together.

Respect
If we can not respect another
How can we expect them to respect us
If we can not respect someone’s beliefs
How can we expect them to respect ours
If we can not respect another’s race
How can we expect that race to respect us
If we can not respect others
How can we expect respect in return
Everyone expects respect
No matter who they are
The only way to gain it
Is to start treating everyone
As a friend, a brother, a sister
As part of our extended family
No matter what colour or creed they are
Only then you will start to get
The respect you so ...

excellent poems. you are great in explaining your feels. i invite you to read my poem
Congratulations on the Outstanding Achievement Award and here's hoping the latest novel gets in print. What an honour for a writer!
I read one of your poems and I wrote a comment saying that if you became a poet once I would buy your works. I did not know you actually were one already. I just became a member of this website, though I love poetry. I also love music and reading all types of books, so I'm going to read your novels too. One thing I loved about your poems is that I felt a really nice connection to it. Keep writing, though you just gained a fan!
Faded love letters: truthfull, sincere, simple (it`s a compliment!) , very seweet
