If I Had A Voice

 

A Suite Of Songs That Will Remain Unheard

if i had a voice

i would sing outside the shower
i would lullaby my memories
i would soak up the power,
and i would speak my mind.
but i don’t
so instead i made a choice
that if i had a voice
was never one to be heard
something inside me purred
“at least it may be read”
because maybe i’d save some savaged soul instead
of bleeding them out on the drying ground
where my deceptions and brutality were found
maybe i can give them a voice
maybe they wouldn’t make that choice
so if i had a voice
id read you everything i came to realise
from dreams to memories,
reality to disguise,
and the inability
to tell one from the other.

Dead Leaves

 

From the horrors of the concentration camps to the beautiful hills of the poet’s home country, this collection explores the meanings and unusual consolations to be found in the daily routines of life and death. Whether preparing a prisoner’s corpse for incineration or contemplating a well cut lawn, the poems are both thought provoking and poignant.

 

There is a deep spiritual sensitivity evident throughout this poetry collection that seeks a human connection with the divine and a meaning to suffering as we transcend the sacred mystery that permeates all life.

This is the second collection from a poet who continues to explore the varying shades of darkness that make up the light.

Compendium Synthetica

 

A Chemical Synthesis Library

A Vade Mecum for the Modern Alchemist.

Between the hallowed corners of the laboratory, where theory dances with the experimental, a new grimoire awakens. Compendium Synthetica, transcending the mundane recipe book, emerging as an archive, a testament to the intricate dialogue between chemists and the molecule.

A library, an anthology of syntheses, a palimpsest, layered with insight as elaborate notes, gleaned from exhaustive laboratory preparation. The theoreticals fading, replaced by the empirical, cold hard facts, no more unknowns, with spectral data to verify each transformation.

A deep dive into the applications and complex mechanisms behind each meticulous dance of electron apportionment, illuminating the mysteries behind the bonding of the atoms.

Compendium Synthetica beckons the intrepid, the one who seeks not merely to replicate, but to innovate. For the modern alchemist, a map to the uncharted, a catalyst for inspiration, a lexicon for those hungry for tested truth, ones who wish not to meddle in falsehood, and misinformation.
