Manifesto:

My poetry is written to resonate deep within the individual, awakening intrinsic faculties of interest, creativity and of course love.
Poetry contains deep within the magic walls of letters and meaning, the power to lift the human spirit, inspire the creative soul and move the individual from where they are, to a new more interesting and profound horizon.
We live in the age of the New Millennium; this is a time for a deeper understanding and comprehension of our human condition.
The paradigm has moved forward and up from What we have, to Who we are.
This is the new quest of the unconscious mind, which is a shifting tide across the world.
The pandemic I believe has accelerated this need for deeper meaning and understanding within whole societies and nations. My poetry is a contribution to support, assist and inspire the budding new world of ‘soul understanding´ in mankind.

What is “New Millennium Poetry?”

As a creative writer, a poet, a psychotherapist and a metallurgical engineer. I’ve been able to create an imaginative original hybrid way of thinking and expressing these thoughts. This is a new type of poetry that I’ve called “New Millennium Poetry.”

After over a decade of writing regularly, I published several books and continue to write with one overwhelming, passionate endeavour and that is to express the invisible world of our humanity. In the technological world in which we live, everything is described down to the smallest detail. When it comes to the sensitive and invisible world of our soul, of our feelings, of our intentions, of our thoughts, and how we experience them, how they work, where they come from, and how we can discover them, transform them, improve them and share them, is the endeavour of my work.

When reading the content of the books “New Millennium Poetry Volume 1-3”, they’re divided into categories, which describe our human condition. For example, love, death, birth, inspiration, spirituality, nature, emotional poetry, and so on. Within these categories, you find a colourful spectrum of poems, each individual and authentic.
When reading a poem, the idea is that the thoughts that they represent and the ideas and the feelings that are embedded within the imagery of the poems are not unique, these belong to the common ground of the common human soul. Existent within each and every one of us, where we can discover and rediscover ourselves in a new, dynamic and deeper ways.
So when listening to a poem as a whole, or even an individual line, sometimes even a word we find a resonating with something deep within us, that we have already experienced, but have not as yet until the moment of resonance, clarified as a thought, or a new idea with which to enrich and deepen our own experience of living and life.
So, with these ideas, I present poetry, which has been written for a new paradigm of human consciousness, that of our emergent ‘soul awareness’, and ‘soul consciousness’. Were millions upon millions of people across different nations, nations, languages, religions and cultures emerging from materialism and recognising that life is more than just what we have, the joy and the love are about discovering who we are.
This is an awakening, a revelation so simple yet profound that it heeds our full attention as the consequences for everything are manifold.
When it’s no longer about having and economies are no longer defined alone by growth, the implicit meaning of how societies work and within those societies how we relate to one another becomes a new emergent principle in defining life. Life is precious, valuable and short, and an experience with which and in which every living being has the right to the fullness and abundance that we can all share on the planet.

Manifesto:
As a creative writer, a poet and author, I feel my readers require a clear understanding and insight into my intentions, motives.

New Millennium Poetry, volumes 1-3 is a Magnus Opus of writing which springs from the idea that with this new millennium, across a broad spectrum of the world’s population, an awakening of consciousness is occurring.
A paradigm change from egocentric materialism to a new paradigm of soul awareness is underway.
Expressing itself in social awareness, responsibility and an awakening to the spiritual, invisible reality of all aspects, of all life on earth.

This invisible world has been for thousands of years the genre of religion. Different religions, different cultures, different representations of one common invisible spiritual reality which is ours to discover.

“New Millennium Poetry “, is a collection of poems covering aspects of our human condition, written irrespective of colour, race or creed.

This common ground, being that most poems explore in simple expressive ways, questions which are common to us all, seeking answers, common to us all.
Poetry is an interesting way to respond to soliloquies concerning one’s personal quest to understand life.
The truth is, a poem will only awake within the thinking of its reader if the content, however unconscious, is already present. When a poem resonates with its reader, the reader’s intuitive response, expresses what is ready to become conscious. To greater and lesser degrees, an audience of readers will intuitively respond to the content of these poems in their search and need to resolve meaning.

Poetry for the new Millennium

An audible and literary experience

This work was drawn from a larger body of writing which has steadily grown over the last seven years.
That initial poem “A Mid-Summer’s Day” happened outside of Kassel under an apple tree and captured the moment in a way which startled me. It’s simplicity yet vivid authenticity was a true Inspiration to continue. A complete piece of work like “The Forest” simple, unabridged & true appeared across my page after that walk through a Bavarian Forest.
Poetry can be fickle, yet I’ve been drawn back again and again to this creativity.
In odd moments an idea, word or thought lodges in my imagination, from whence with a little focus, persistence and reflection, the germ of a poem takes on its own life.
Yes, it’s like anything we do, give it your mental energy and whatever it is will grow.
Social Media has grown alongside my efforts, where I’ve posted contributions at regular intervals. It’s largely thanks to this active and an interested community of poetry lovers that I was encouraged to take a step further and publish. Liam

Poetry Reading, Sunday 15.August 2021

A Star was Born
by Liam

It was in twilight far beyond
A shooting star it’s place had found
It landed near whilst on my path
To find the start of a life filled dream,
In which joy, love and free felt true
Would live in peace, the dove,
you too
Still spinning around inside my brain
Long after, having gone to bed
To position this cosmic shooting flash
Within my wilderness of chaos, of dread

This star stole, my mind that night
Returned with it to weave and find
The source of light, of peace, of mind
We crossed an ocean called sanity
We climbed a mountain called doubt
We gazed amazed, then to behold
The waking thoughts of my newborn day
The light had found in me a way
Of being the source from whence Love flows
Of being alive in all we know
Of life, a dream grown in starlights womb
Of becoming the truth, being the greatest of
Whom!


Sublime by Liam

Blue, all blue and green the growth
It’s soul, all soul the singing worlds’ response
I’ve heard across the oceans thundering
Above the forests whispering
Sweet voices, audible alone to the breeze
Fine-tunes blown on awareness
Capture my attention initiate the intent
To stretch forward
Arms open to embrace and inhale
This moment of inspiration, this instant of life
We are this, which we perceive
Our colors change too with each awakening
As flowers, we bring wonder to the world
Bird song, bringing joy to this day
Enhancing the way I perceive my wealth
An entity among the Myriads which life has brought forth today
reminding myself, it’s but a dash through time
Till again we sigh, we become sublime.




Falling in Love
by Liam

You have loved life
Within this scene the colors
Unraveling to your heartbeat
When I was touched by it
My chest bunched up with a thumping beat
My excitement became ecstasy which spun away on rationality
This madness spoke in wild radiant colors too
Thoughts scattered, blown birds lifted high on thermals of excitement
These entered the circle of your energetic radiance
It’s beautiful what you do with me
Alone moonbeams on your skin
I feel, through the reflection in your eyes
Could it be?
Should it be?
I’m becoming what you already have achieved.

Whisperer
by Liam

Dare you believe
the whisperer in your ear
that you are special,
that you are meaningful,
that one day
you too will change
The world as well
It’s you, you see
Who is the one listening
Who will change everything
Who will continue whispering

Be It
by Liam

True, love creates its own explanations Where ever it ignites
Love is completely unambiguous as it burns away the superficiality and splith of my character

We experience love
We become better beings

When you are but a drop which overflow’th in this ocean
Love feels the ocean surging within that drop
This realization gives love its omnipotence
Waiting patiently to embrace the wish of the beautiful being
We are, you are, I am

Can you possibly contain love?
Can you ever understand love?
Could you explain love?

Why bother,
Simply Be It.
