Profile

Hi, I’m from NZ. I really enjoy writing songs and I am a prolific lyric writer but I can never write enough music to fit all my words into! I normally just leave them sandwiched between the pages of the notebook I wrote them in for lack of chords to match. But I rather like them all the same for their abstract quality so I am going to start posting the overflow here when I have time.

Mostly my lyrics are just open ended imagery I dig out of my subconscious mind unfiltered after being inspired by some fleeting thing I forget about later and often I am not sure exactly what they mean either. But I always enjoy hearing what other people think they mean since their version is always way more inspiring than my interpretation!

I am also interested in photography and art and occasionally get creative with a camera or paintbrush (either the digital or hairy variety).

Writing

Decrescendo

Dissonance clangs, a cacophonous dischord inside your / head, sets heavy chimes spinning like tonnes of lead,

No One Will Know

Fascination calls / To my subconscious mind / Passion unleased / A dream distorting time

Centre of Gravity

An unguided universe / Endlessly unravelling / Adrift in a world of / Change and transformation / Perilously on the edge / Surrender yourself / And fall into the chaos / At the centre of gravity

The Face

Wipe the mirror, fill the sink / Shave off yesterday’s face

Autumn

Winter’s on it’s way, / The Autumn breeze beckons surrender, / Summer leaves, / Detach from trees, / So falls each leaf, / In golden splendour.

The Eyes of the Isis Cat

Inside this sleek and pointed head, / My eyes are luminous green, / They’re watching every move you make, / They’re accurate and keen
