Beloved

 

“I’ll lay down everything I was born into – and step into everything Love has called me to be…”

Beloved is an illustrated narrative that explores the transformative power of love through the poetic dialogue of the Lover and the Beloved.

Akin to the poetry of the Song of Songs, the story of the Lover and the Beloved is a stunning portrayal of healing, identity, and expansion.

Layered in meaning, their romance unveils a mystical journey to freedom and oneness…

have you felt it?

And He is changing everything…

Marching with a Broken Shadow

The passage from birth to death is a journey that binds us all…

In this debut anthology entitled Marching with a Broken Shadow, readers are invited to embark on that journey; delving profoundly into their innermost thoughts and prevailing feelings – from the deepest and darkest layers of hurt and confusion, to the most hypnotic forms of happiness and dream.

Take the quest with the central character, and look forward to exploring, with reminiscence and wonder, the voyage that we call life, the ending we know as death, and all that lies in between.

About the Author

Dyson began writing poetry after studying William Blake in Year 12 Literature. By 2015 his poetry had become a means of catharsis and reflection as he cared for his sick mother.

Discovering her hidden poems after she passed away in 2017, Dyson began to write with the intention of producing a thematically linked and conceptually realised body of work – this work is what became Marching with a Broken Shadow.

Now, with a penchant for writing and storytelling, Dyson aims to continue to produce artistic and thought-provoking material, and is busily completing his follow up project entitled Stories Heard From the Hearts Whisper.

Within and Beneath my Heart

Within and Beneath My Heart is about my most deepest feelings and emotions.

They are a window into my soul of love, hurt, life, destiny and dreams.

I find it so easy to write these feelings and express my thoughts as poetry.

All the words I find so difficult to say in person.

They are a reflection of who I am as a woman, mother, friend and lover.

The Randomness of Me

A collection of poetry and prose for today and everyday

The universe is big.
We are small.

It is all too easy to get lost
in the immensity of it all,
caught up in everyday
living.

But if we pause for a few
seconds, breathe deeply
and look around we may
just notice how amazing
this universe is.

How each and every one
of us are unique within the
chaos of the heavens.

The Randomness of Me
is a reflection of lived
experiences from one of
these unique, random,
small beings in this big,
amazing universe.
