Thanks for dropping by, My aim on this site is to share with you the passion of working with words; of helping them find each other, to come together in just the right way for opening portals to our inner and outer worlds.

Captured for a moment in a poem. The mundane imbued with transcendence; the sublime absorbed through playful practicality; the pleasures of aesthetical closure wrestling with the urgency of bold enquiry; the itching for understanding and a longing for the unspoken.
