I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again

About Me

"All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity"
- Frederich Nietzsche -

Many artists have fascinations with a certain aspect of human nature. Jim Morrison had a fascination with death and wrote a lot of his poetry and lyrics about death. Such as the song The End. He was always intrigued about what would happen when death came about and lived his life on the edge of life and death. Kurt Cobain, he had an obsession with birth and just like Jim Morrison he would write about his fascinations into his lyrics. The most obvious evidence would be the cover of Nirvana's most famous album Nevermind. I personally have an interest in pain, and the weird affects pain can have. I personally believe I am a victim of a fractured mind, brought on by my social environment from my lifetime, but what has derived from this hopefully is a creative catharsis that’ll last a lifetime.

I find a lot of my inspirations from experiences I have been through. Some are from certain people that act as a muse. Others are just interests I have; such as astronomy, greek mythology, religion (or lack of), gothic fiction, conspiracy theories and general interest in psychology & human behaviour. I do try and incorporate the different aspects of these things in as much as possible in to my artwork, lyrics and of course my largest outlet, my poetry.

My Interests

My general interests tend to consist of playing and listening to various types of music, my taste is quite eclectic. Poetry is a big part of myself I guess. I love films, ones that make you think, such as various indie films that I tend to be in to. Apart from that I'm generally normal in what I do on nights out.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet someone who have a deep interest in poetry and to discover the new words of a poets heart that they want to hold in their hearts as their own. I want to find someone that wants to find love, hate, life, death and most of all tragedy in the glance of a few letters that may befall their eyes. I want to find someone who may be interested in the artistic ramblings of another human being and seem interested as if it was spoken as the words ever to be uttered in their lives. Maybe that is to much to ask for.
