The Poet Tree

This is a book of eyes once closed being opened. I wrote these poems in the hope that one day those who read them would find answers to questions I once asked myself, I wrote them for people to read when they need to know they are not alone in their thoughts, experiences or feelings. Some of these poems are flights of fancy, some are taken from personal experience, some are specific to certain emotions written when the spoken word was too painful or simply too hard to just let out... they are all taken from the world around me. These words vary in their emotional content, I drew some from the dark places where our subconscious slowly works through the things life has thrown our way, others are taken from sunny days in the country or by the sea, when our hearts are overflowing with joy, as many are taken from the places in between these two states of mind. For the people who love the world of fantasy I have taken inspiration from my dreams, wrapping the threads of our sleeping minds around the waking world, there are even some poems that bring the world of art, science, mythology and fantasy together. Whoever you are and wherever you're from I guarantee there is something in here for you and hopefully when you've read these poems you'll have something for those around you.
