My Poem “Return of the Poet”

Mark Hastings books, Poetry , , , , , , , , , , , , 
Even though, at times, I may have
ventured "Too Close To The Sun",
I will always be the "Poet of the Sphere"...
even though I have written about
"The Wolf in Me", "The Wolf in You",
"The Wolf in Us" and "Vega - The Vampire King",
I will always emanate "The Sound of Mark"...
even though I have been "Playing God",
I will always be "The Eternal Boy"...
I will always be "The Dreamer and The Dream"...
I will always love "Truly Madly Deeply"...
I will always be "The Rambler"...
I will always be the "Poet of the Multiverse"...
I will always be "The Comeback Kid";
because, even though I have stories within me
that I believe are just waiting to be told,
poetry is my life's blood...
poetry is my voice...
poetry is my epic flood...
poetry is my universe within which
I do not have a choice -
because poetry is my destiny,
it always has been
and it always will be...
poetry has brought me gifts of connection...
poetry has always been within me...
there isn't a day that goes by
when I do not open my eyes
and see the light of inspiration...
there isn't a day that goes by
when I do not listen and hear
the rhythm of life's music
in unison with my multi-layered imagination...
even when things seemed to be
coming to the end of their calling,
I always believed that whenever
the time arose when I might need
to be renewed,
the one within would climb,
like a "Rising Star",
and there would no longer be any limits -
because, like a shooting star in the night sky,
there would be no stopping
the return of the poet.

My New Book ‘The Comeback Kid’ – Out Now!

Mark Hastings books, Poetry , , , , , , , , , , , ,
I believe that Life is Poetry, and I believe that Poetry is Life. I believe that Change is the Music of the Universe, I believe that Light cannot be seen without Darkness. I believe that the faces, the voices, the Memories I have of those whom I have known, who have inspired me throughout my life, are more important than I could ever put into words. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I believe that the Poetry of Everything that has happened to me is the reason why I am here.

My new poetry collection ‘The Comeback Kid‘ is filled with over a hundred poems about life, light, inspiration, loss, love, experiences, recollections, relationships, feelings, emotions, memories, the path, the journey, the trials and the tribulations that we all have to face to fulfil our destiny.

Happy World Book Day!

Happy World Book Day! Over the last 11 years I have published 13 books – ranging from poetry to the supernatural – and every one was a labor of love, as well as a journey and exploration of what was inspiring me at the time that I wrote them. My poems and my stories are all influenced and infused with elements of me, of my life, of my story, and I hope that those who have read any of my books of poetry or stories have enjoyed what they have read! All my books are available to buy on Amazon. My amazing publisher and long-standing collaborator is Zeloo Media. And without the support of my family and friends I would not have done what I have done, I would not have written what I have written, I would not have published what I have published. It’s been a wild, interesting, and inspiring ride from beginning to end! 😊
