LIGHT and Darkness - A Book By AM Radulescu
LIGHT and Darkness is a book by AM Radulescu which was recently published, and as we are Vocal friends I purchased an ebook copy from Amazon to read on my Kindle. I am more of a physical book reader but find the Kindle a convenient reading mechanism.

La Rosa , Whitby
A long time back my friend Ange alerted me to a campsite in Yorkshire that was part of a fascinating Whitby Hotel called La Rosa. On the too floor is a suite of three rooms called The Crow's Nest , and we thought it would be great to hire for a weekend. It has never happened ….. yet

There are a hundred and ninety nine steps up to Whitby Abbey and a lot is made of that. Whitby Abbey is now a ruin , but is the setting for Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” , and now is an imposing Gothic ruin on what must be termed East Cliff in Whitby.

The Tower of Light
I’m not sure why but the concept and phrase “Tower of Light” came to mind while thinking of my Muse , and the only song I can think of near to that is “Tower of Song” by the poet Leonard Cohen, I then thought of “Tower of Strength” by The Mission , but stuck with tha Leonard Cohen beauty.

Your Name Is Here
Your Name Is Here I thought I would try to write a poem using every letter of the standard United Kingdom alphabet , which would mean every letter of your name appears in it. Yes it is slightly contrived but a fun thing to do , and hope everyone tries to catch me out.

This Love of Ours
The beautiful song “This” by Brian Eno from “Another Day On Earth” and the gorgeous time lapse video that I found , provided a foil for this poem for my love, my Muse after lots of contact with her today. I miss her whenever we are not together, maybe that is a sign of true love.

Quiddity
Quiddity describes properties that a particular substance (e.g. a person) shares with others of its kind. It is the name for the mystical dream sea in Clive Barker's novel "The Great and Secret Show" that exists as a higher plane of human existence. It is featured as more of a literal sea in the novel's sequel, Everville.

St Anthony’s Chapel Ruins
On Friday I was in Edinburgh and I am interested in old buildings. My dad was a builder but I could never get the hang of building walls , my limits were hod carrying , block making , mixing concrete , digging holes and sweeping up. All necessary jobs but something that anyone can do.

I Want To Make You Laugh
This is a short ,no format , poem of words for the one I love . Anyone can take this and read it to the one that they love but these words are directed towards my Muse . and you know my feelings for her , but many of us has someone who inspires us and we could not be without.
