Yesterday (2019) director: Danny Boyle Yesterday will always be better that today and never worse than tomorrow. It was a silly screenplay – the almost unknown and even more useless musician and composer being knocked down by a bus, and then realising he’s the only one on the planet who knows about the […]

The Colour Of A Face
The colour of a face, The darkness of a place, Staring from behind, I am the one you find, I crash to the ground, and pray, You take my breath away, It’s me today, him tomorrow, You do not stop and have no sorrow, Let the men and women march, Down the avenue, under the […]
Nine Plus One Is Ten
I’m writing along, Singing this song, All night long. Number two, Tie up your shoe, Laces, We’re going places, With a puppet’s string, Just the thing. Three, four, Close the door, The puppet might escape, Sellotape, His box, And don’t forget your socks. Five, six, A box of tricks, At sixes and sevens, Up in […]
The Chrysalis
Looking into the future, I am frightened of the past, A fragile chrysalis, a butterfly that will not last, And yet you are stronger than the strongest girl, More beautiful than the largest pearl, Upon my shoulder, you search my soul, You fill me with fear I cannot control, And as you travel across the […]

Reflections (1) – Gazing Into A Mirror
Sitting opposite you, I have the unnerving impression of gazing into a mirror, Where the reflection of my face is conspicuously absent. We are so obviously different, you and I.

Eyes
As I look into her eyes, Noticing the reflection of her soul, I fear the worst has yet to come, When our gaze will part, When our hands will lose touch. How fragile we are, How ephemeral our lives, When mother nature decides it all, When the violent rain and hurricane winds Let us know […]
Capturing The Souls Of The Incas – A Poem
Caught between two tectonic plates That slide seamlessly under the feet of unsuspecting crowds, A constant threat of crumbling houses and broken hearts, A cracked mirror that exposes souls, a deep vision of a setting sun, Children are playing in an improvised yard of crushed stones and hardened mud. They dream of somewhere else. As I […]

My Treasure From The Andes, Mi Tesoro De Los Andes
I saw you cross the brittle snow, I helped you bridge the crystal lake. And as you approached me from an Andean peak, To sweep me from a never-ending ocean, Like a message in a bottle, Like a treasure upon a ship, A golden nugget once belonging to the Incas, You let me seize my […]
Communicating Beyond Beauty (1) – The Whale Song
What if you could write a love song for a whale, and an orchestra went out into the ocean to play it? As you listen, you can see the spectrogram of a beautiful humpback whale song from deep in the Monterey Bay. These […]
The Artful Shredder Strikes At Sotheby’s
If we now have to distinguish between true and fake art, in the same way as fake news, life is really beginning to feel like a lottery. It’s one thing having doubts about the validity of news items appearing on Facebook, but if you cannot trust Sotheby’s, then who can you trust? One thing’s for […]
