Sam Eastwood a romantic poet, writer and story teller.
I’d sometimes written my feelings from an early age to look at them outside myself. When forty five I started writing in earnest with the intent to publish a Science Fiction novel with love poetry. These romantic poems expressed my feelings gained from my life’s experiences and the ideas about True love and Soulmates. They became a small collection in themselves, and encouraged by a friend to publish.Sam’s Poems, the first. I continued to write, a further three over the next years.These declared the loving intimacy I shared with two very special women, my muse and to personal to publish. Through this time I read, studied and travelled down a path of self discovery. Christian, Zen and Buddhist teachings, learning what Truth and faithfulness means to me. I finished my working life in the Graphics Industry and moved to Tauranga, a small city in New Zealand in 2015, to write and further publish my poetry. And stories about love and relationships, I had yet to find a way to combine with my poetry into a publication.My hope is to share love and kindness which come through me to all those with an open ear and mind. Just maybe we will save the plant. Two books with new poems and some from the unpublished books have been published.The fourth, published this month with a book launch/reading.My creative gift has led me here, inspired by love and its meaning which I wish to share. They are reflections of the unfolding mystery of my life, interwoven with the feelings and emotions I’m experiencing joyfully every moment of my day.
