I am 24 years old and was born and raised in Sheffield, England. My poems have appeared in All Things Girl, Sheffield Star, Horace Magazine and in three anthologies by United Press. I also have poems in Gothic Fairy Tales ezine and at psyke.org poetry.




Shadows dance 

Aesthetic comportment
immediate connection 
safety of minds interlocked and entwined.
Converge: 
Fingers clutch to hips.
Hourglass you seizes to the silk screen
Eyes unravel my trepidation like no other.
Our constellation of frivolous limbs now honour rhythmic sins. 
Conventional worship is illogical. 
Unconventional devotion is consistent.
Lips add season to hidden corners.
And here we are, both in disguise, touching each others edges. 



Hepburn eyes


Beautiful, yes.
Her eyes smile before her lips do.
A rare ethereal face 
that told so many stories.
So captivating and fair, 
her expression 
was overwhelming to us all.
The way she held a stare 
was eloquent and full of care.
