I Feed The Cat...: thoughts on life, love, & loss

“Scribire iussit amor”

Ovid

(“Love compelled me to write”)

As with most art, the words in this book were inspired by love.

Inspired by women I have loved and one in particular, who I may have loved before.

The woman who inspired many of these words is one of the very few truly spiritual people I’ve ever known. In spite of a life often tormented by cruelty and neglect, she retained a rare spirituality and compassion.

She enriched my life and for that I will never forget her.

These are some of the poems.

Written over the past couple of years (something creative came out of the COVID lockdown). Some describe experiences and feelings directly related to my relationships and circumstances. Some figments of my imagination.

This book is divided into three sections:

Life, Love, and Loss

You can start reading from the beginning through to the end, or you can pick a section depending on your mood, or dip in and out at random.
