INTRODUCTION

This is my fourth book of poetry, dealing mainly with life issues and aspects of my life which in part have been turbulent. I am particularly fond of the poem ‘Let the candles burn’ about lighting candles in memory of lost ones all over the world, in disasters such as the natural disasters and terrorist attacks. I also like the poem ‘Nobody listens’ about mental illness and ‘Do you see me’ on the same lines, where as ‘The ghost’ is based on a fictitious event entwined with the reality of germ war fare as a man who is invisible to the naked eye is a carrier of a deadly virus that threatens to wipe out the human race. My first poem is about the girl on the front cover of my book called Kyra Keogh
