    About this ebook

    Maybe it just came upon them one day or one night when they were alone in bed, lost in memories saturated by regrets, sorrows, worries and troubles; lost in that mind of slight-confusion where they had reached the hundredth sheep and lost count. Maybe at this moment, they breathed in the darkness and it became their's. Like a broken switch that becomes a forever-attached dirty ornament on an unused shelf, it became part of them, part of their insides and it began to eat; feeding on them from within because it was starving, and just maybe it didn't leave.

    Jason John Tyler

    Jason John Tyler settled in Tulsa, Oklahoma a few years ago, finding Tulsa to be caring, friendly and most inviting. Originally born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Jason always says, "If you add a few lions, elephants and ostriches to Oklahoma you'd think you were living on the awesome wild plains of The Highveld." Brushing up against the Great South African Escarpment, The Highveld carpets an impressive plateau that moves upward reaching over three thousand meters above the Southern Oceans of Africa; giving way to the majestic Drakensberg Mountains and their dragon-like peaks where-from the dragon, within their Southern Dutch name, stems. Whenever the urge to tell a story arises, Jason sits down and writes - for his own pleasure. He is an avid reader and lover of well told stories. When Jason is not writing, he reads or thinks up adventurous poetry on the gorgeous midwestern hills of Green Country, Oklahoma.

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
