About this ebook
Each one is written to capture, bind, intoxicate each individual to a world solely tailored to them.
It entreats you to feel without fear, to be transfixed by all life’s array of encounters. To resign tenderly to them and conspire with the heart, to love and appreciate outrageously without reservations.
Lastly, faint not in the pale shade of mishaps or glory but steadfastly and strategically hold purpose; because in these given moments, you will define who you are: YOU!!
Gräfin
The author was born in Jamaica and is of German nationality. At a very tender age, she was often mesmerised by literature: particularly those great, inventive, passionate poets, past and present, who have mastered the art of personification. The love of the countryside provided her with immense, visionary liberty; the freedom to explore and expand was not foreign to her. The wisdom of the classical music masters and philosophers gave her an excuse to waltz away to her individuality. She also believes in the true, rebellious, wild recklessness of love and nature. She came to live in Germany and England in the 1980s, acquiring a Diploma in Business Studies. Whilst living in Germany, she worked in the theatre in a production of Kabale und Liebe by Friedrich Schiller. She has also indulged herself in the world of fashion over many years. She has travelled extensively. Her love for the south of Europe led her to live in the Principality of Monaco. Since her return to England, she has worked in education.

String of Pearls - Gräfin
4 am
A prayer whispered,
Long linger the bucolic sounds and scenes of late dusk,
Then deafening silence,
Sleep overwhelms me, deep, wholesome,
Visions of a dream dominate the spirited mind.
Soon to peel away the divine-like stillness:
Tunes of yesterday replay,
Flood with chords that plague,
Imprison and twist the mind.
Toss, turn weary,
Weave into a net bigger and bigger, deeper and deeper,
Clawing at the very pit, poking edges of thoughts,
Darkness overpowers, thick gloom shows no face.
In wee-hours sleep press pillow,
Deep slumber conquers, as if under a spell cast;
Not a movement, not a turn,
Such tranquil bliss!
Alas! haunting outbursts of wild birds soak early crystal air,
Disturbing a sovereign soul,
Dawn’s grey shade heeds to the romance of the rising sun,
Elbow subtle into pure heart of first light.
4 am disappears quickly as it came,
A creeping sound – not even heard.
Full glories of daybreak take shape,
Begin.
After the Rain
Last rain of summer unspoilt, I knew you would come,
Mingling with heavy giving clouds you call,
Leaving damp, dusky odour of Petrichor.
Potpourri, woody, breaks through the
