Sonnet
Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war by William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 46 is a profound exploration of the internal conflict between the heart and the eye, personified as two entities engaged in a legal battle over the ownership of the beloved’s image. This poem belongs to the Fair Youth sequence, where Shakespeare expresses deep admiration and affection for a young man. In this sonnet, the poet dramatizes the struggle between visual attraction and emotional connection, ultimately arriving at a resolution that divides the beloved between the eye and the heart.

Here For You
Introduction "Father Figure" is my favourite George Michael song. I am here for many people and some, including my daughters and my close friends, see me as that at times. I always think I am still fifteen but I always make the effort to be there for people when I am needed to give love, advice, comfort and empathy.

A Controlled State Of Mind
We held galaxies in our hands. In that moment, we understood forever. Molding life, changing history. We were forever. Or at least we could be. Glistening street lights shining through the rain on the window. We are human, we are temporary. But I’d like to hope that someday I could live in that moment forever.

Empty Hands
I often wonder, if celestial hands were to reach out to me, would I interlock my fingers with theirs? Or would I do as I always do, and mimic the souls around me? Turning a blind eye, holding the hands of logic instead. But as I empty my hands of all reason, and all logic, what is left?
