Born in the early 60's I started out in life on a newly established council estate in Cheltenham.

 

My Father died when I was just six years old and life was never the same. The sense of loss and loneliness never seemed too far away. Life was often tough and emotional but never boring.

 

 

Throughout my troubled childhood where lack of love, education and guidance had left their scars I always retained a love for poetry and writing.

 

Later in life I began writing my own poetry releasing a lot of the pent up emotion that had shadowed my life, in writing down my feelings I felt at last released from my burdens.
