Onto the Next Day Onto the Next Song. LYRICS & POEMS, #2

These poems trace the quiet negotiations of being human, between memory and change, closeness and distance, survival and renewal. Grounded in reflection rather than performance, this collection favours emotional accuracy over embellishment and balances vulnerability with composure. The poems engage with identity, love, loss and resilience through accessible language and carefully sustained imagery.
There is a steadiness to the voice which is reflective, humane and quietly assured. These are lyrical poems that trust the reader, allowing understatements to carry weight while emotional honesty anchors every line.-"open my mind, i hope you don't mindyou'll have to keep, whatever you find"-"these eyes have seen some good timesthese eyes have seen some goodbyesthese eyes have seen times go by"-"let me right my own wrongslet me write my own songs"-"if there was an off switch, I would push it right nowif there was a time warp, I would rush it somehow"-"you were in my head the whole timetaking thoughts like they weren't mine"
