I started writing for my Therapy clients, and through the power of social media - these words found a wider audience.

I enjoy writing and telling stories in my native tongue.

I write about Scottish Life, My Own Life, Addiction & Recovery, and often Social Commentary on current events. I think it’s important to encourage dialogue about the controversial issues that impact society.

I like to reflect the contrast that we find in every day life in the poems I create, the joy and the trauma, the darkness, the light, the black, the white, and the grey bit in between.

I weave humour through my work, because, well - ‘if ye don’t laugh ye’ll greet!’.

My Mark

I write because it’ll leave my mark, And these words that stand boldly in ink,

Will stand in time forevermore, As a script of how I think,

The creation of these characters, These verses I call art,

Will leave a mark, Etched with emotion, Long after the last beat of my heart,

All days countdown towards an end, But for however long I have left,

It’ll be spent gratefully filling pages, With words that dance around my head,

And these words that make it to paper, Will also find an ear,

And they might just spark a memory, That bring a little tear,

And in that raw emotion, That energy will cause a vibration,

And these words will hold that energy, It’ll pass on to the next generation,

These words we share between you and me, These words that convey such love,

These words will be the mark that I leave, When I’m looking down from above.
