Where Poetry Meets Musical Expression
Dive into a world where original poetry and music unite, offering a unique blend of linguistic artistry and sound that captivates and inspires.
I’ve been writing since 2003, and I have long said that the reason I am a poet and not a musician is because I can’t sing (I love to, but my voice is not record worthy).
With the introduction of AI technology, I am able to use my existing words and vision to bring these poems into the music sphere. Not a fan of AI creations? I can understand. My original poetry is not AI generated, modified, etc. – you can read it for FREE or support my work by joining my Patreon (with many free posts) or buying a book (and even some of the eBooks are also FREE).
Only Anthem
Waves Into Words celebrates the transformation of original poetry into musical expressions, inviting visitors to experience the fusion of linguistic creativity and sound artistry that defines this unique platform.
“Only Anthem” was a “band” name I came up with during the MySpace era. Back then, I was just experimenting with FruityLoops and didn’t get very far. Now, I am reclaiming that moniker in order to share my poetry in a form accessible to more people around the world.
If I were to say this project had one goal, it would be to just give people something relatable for when they need it. I know how much impact music has made on me and my life, and I can only imagine how many others feel the same.
