This collection of poems covers the human voyage from the gentle tides of innocence, dreams and purpose to the reality of fear, disappointment and pain. It’s a tale of extremes as the mind is tossed from frustration to elation; slipping into depths of failure and finding anchors of hope. It is a catalogue of man’s desire: healing, happiness…and lust

His debut book, a collection of poems titled: THERE IS A STORM IN MY HEAD was published in February 2017 by Words Rhymes and Rhythm Ltd (WRR). The book depicts a storm of emotions as a result of life’s uncertainty, disparity between dreams and reality, and the thin line between love and lust. The author’s writing style is defined as simple and deep; his poems are usually brief and fast-paced, the readers are left out of breath and asking for more. He is inspired by nature and beauty.
