IT’S A FUNNY THING, LIFE

The poems Mark has written come from the truest and deepest feelings of his soul, heart, sorrows and hopes. The words flow from the ache and wonder of love; the drama of adventure against the odds; the many mysteries and humour of life, and the awful sadness of loss and death.

With this collection of poems, he shares with you many moments he has seen and experienced, both in reality, and with imagination. Like a snapshot, they capture a moment of the highest highs and lowest lows that living brings to us all. He offers you these words to help your mood when you’re down, to increase your understanding of life when cruel or unfair, to calm your thoughts, and make you laugh … or perhaps just for you to enjoy. Hopefully they do, because life really is a funny thing.

MOON DREAMS

Once again, in Moon Dreams, Mark’s soulful and uplifting poems have given perfect rhythm to the love, adventure and trials of the life we share. Like Mark’s previous book, It’s A Funny Thing, Life, each poem is easy to read and a joy to follow.

From the fishermen’s battle with nature’s raging sea, to the dark rider’s race through the forest to save his true love, his beautiful words reach into our hearts, as they first reached into his.

Most were written after the day had finished its watch, some into the late hours of night when the pace of life had slowed. And so, he offers you his latest set of poems to help you dream, if just a for a short while, of other lives and times, with the help of the moon’s friendly eye.

THIS CURIOUS LIFE

The poems Mark has written blows the breath of truth over his own life and that of others, in a world both grim and wonderful. These poems touch on the heartbreaks, the spiritual releases, the hurtful losses and the returning smiles.  And of course, the wonder and hot emotions of love.

Within this latest collection of poems, Mark’s words come from his ability to see, feel and understand the darker shadows of one’s soul and mind, and so offer some uplifting inspiration. Here he lets his deepest feelings of love pour out with joy and sincerity.

He hopes each, or just a few, of these poems based on his own experiences will help you when down and replenish your love and sparkle; or simply make you laugh about this curious life we share.
