Each glorious day that we awake, There are many choices we all must make. Every choice brings new lessons for you to learn, If you study well, then ascension you will earn. Choices choices which one should I choose? If made with love in your heart, you cannot lose. Free Will is granted to all so make your own Choice, Some lessons are easier when you listen to your inner voice. Ea...

No one as simple as I
need claim visions, or tortures
but when you sing it I see it
Oh minstrel, Oh chantuese.
The second worst thing in the world:
the ones I love most driven to tears.

Worst is when I have been the cause.
What wouldn't I do to have it any other way?
How it ever happens is humbling.
And easily, unintentially, repeatedly:
 a nightmare that threatens my sanity.

I'm losing it

I'm losing it

I'm stood right here

refusing it

an ice cold one

that shouts-

'get  gone!'

that thrills of 

my abusing it

I excuse myself

a ruse myself

excuses me and

I myself

deny myself

a lift from

this Moscow mule

that i drive myself

I'm losing it

I'm losing it

I'm giving in

and chosing it.

“Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” Hemingway.

When I look into the mirror
I do not see my face
I see those ghosts behind me,
Trailing blood and lace.

Please excuse my misapprehension,
I do apologise for my fault,

A guided hand, a pen firmly clamped. The eye linked with a part

of the brain registers every tiny little detail

Do you feel an itch running down your spine?

It all started, less than 24 hours ago

The mind ghost, spoke softly into our ears

About a paradise that got lost.

Will this new year

be a new year?

Or, the same as the old?

I guess, patience is an essence of time

As we wait for what unfolds

 

So, goodbye to covid 

Goodbye to crime

Goodbye to war

Make peace in our time

 

Goodbye to jealousy

Goodbye to rage

Let love be the sunlight

And, Earth, be its stage

 

Goodbye dictators 

Goodbye to greed

So the sun ducks down
Shattered clouds frown
Crimson rays mix with gray
The sky starts the count down

All feather balls are back in nests
Bellies full, they're ready to rest
The restless Venus sparkles again
The Golden Ball is deep in the west

 Another year has come to an end
Wrapping wounds and grieves to mend
Our happy memories brighten the eve
As from the cradle of the Earth Moon...

Now I’ve retired I’ve adopted a routine whereby I get all my chores done first thing so the rest of the day’s my own.  This morning, for instance, I’d read-the-paper and had-the-shit so I settled into my shed in front of the log burner, put the coffee machine on and started thinking.

All sorts.

And every argument I had in my head I won by clear philosophical thought.

It’s New Years Eve, the last day of twenty, twenty one
This time last year, we were hoping Covid would soon be gone

One year forward and the news is very much the same
Covid still makes the headlines a new variant is to blame 

We pinned our hopes on the vaccine to bring an end at last
But the rates are rising, it’s spreading across the nation, fast 

Infection rates are at their highest...

Every Friday is special for me

It's a day where week finally breaks

The rest for the end that's beginning today

And more so it's a celebration day

 

Fridays are very special for us

A day marked holy in our calendar 

It's like a day of eid every week

Something miraculous we do seek

 

This Friday is all the more different 

It not only ends the weeks boredom

I am more than my sexuality. My job. My pleasure. My image.

I am my past

my future, my lessons,

my life, my heart, my fears.

My skin aches to be loved and my eyes to be seen,

my ears to be heard,

and me

.. me... ME... to be seen.

My passion, is not simply created and finished between my legs,

between my thighs,

but flows within my body like glitter in the wind.

As we enter 2022,
What will it bring for me and you?  
Will it be a brave new year?
And not be filled with dread or fear.

Will it bring us joy and bring us hope?
And no longer find it hard to cope.
Where we'll get back to normality,
And this will be our reality.

Will this new year bring us new beginnings?
Where we'll succeed and keep our winnings.
Where we will get on the proper trac...

A dance with the Devil

Skating down cracked sidewalk waves

Shedding this mind enslaved

Shredding in the name of peace

Inner peace, not some short term lease

The real deal, official seal

Watch me steal away down this sidewalk

Hear my wheels talk under streetlight

Disappear into deep night, no fright

Riding concrete waves out of sight

Knowing this feeling is right

How, when and where

I lost my laughter and smile

I can't recall the way

It slipped off my face 

And went somewhere else

 

How, when and where

The unity can be sought

The hearts meant to be woven together

Shall find their home on earth 

To live forever together in love

 

How, when and where

Democracy was lost 

Dictators creeped within

My reflection through the glass just makes me walk pass,

No matter what I see it will never be worthy to me.

 

I can't stand the sight that makes my stomach tight,

I bite my lips and my eyes are teared up bright.

 

I fear that I no longer want to be here.

Why should I? When all I ever do is give up and sigh.

So please light, take me up high,

New Beginnings

 

The very roots of my inner being tingle with anticipation

as we make our preparations for the New Year celebration

I possess a renewed sense of profound optimism

as I discard the forlorn cares of past pessimism

My mind is overwhelmed with new and inspired ideas

which look forward to new and fertile fields

I shall cast away the clouds of despair and depressi...

I am fighting an addiction that I cannot seem to shift,

 

Every single time I try it makes me feel like shit,

 

So tasked with making myself better, I reach for another hit,

 

Looks like I’ve failed again, again my mind set split.

 

Round and round and round I go desperate for that ride,

 

The pace at which I’m spinning starts to hurt my eyes,

If you should spy a crafty gnome

Beside an open fire, humming a tune.

Tap- tapping his tiny hammer

Upon a diminutive shoe.

Expression on his face a mix

Of mischief, curiosity, and wit.

 

Would you think him comical,

With ruddy cheeks, eyes aglow?

Entrancing scene to witness,

A fortunate happenstance?

Friend, no! Pass him by.

Do not disturb the gnome.

On the outskirts of a sadness

otherworldly that casts one

into the mould of observer, 

a mere overseer of self

who's no longer tethered

to the entity observed, 

the very entity that can

no longer be embraced

as one and the same,

no matter how congenially

the arms are outrstretched.

Crouch on a mountain

Of a life times emotions

 

Piled high like contorted corpses

Stretching their hands 

Up to me to pluck them

From the detritus 

 

Rotting from the bottom

Melting into stinking filth

Collapsing under its own weight

Delivering eternal fate

 

Each day bringing layer 

On layer of unclaimed fears

Cemented by rivers of tears

To breathe is not a thought

         To love you is easy

          Never realised I do
Since it's just another gift of life.

Kicking through the moss
in the cooling evening air
I’m staring down the barrel
of a living Rivelin Valley

Crickets clicking in the tall grass 
bramble searching for a shin
I stoop to flick away
the tickle of a nettle
caught under my tongue

O, why could I not have felt this way
at twenty one
To know myself
my capabilities, my limitations
to feel this comfortable
in my own skin

I built a wall around the shimmer of God. 

Layer upon layer it was layed 

Cast in the blood, And the filth, and the Death. 

Built on foundations of rage. 

Forged from the darkness, the fortress was bound. 

As the molten tread flooded the bank. 

Plastered among the dark shadows of envy.

Built on foundations of pain. 

The tower was high, no crack to be seen

The spirit of Christmas descends with a whisper

Unnoticed by shoppers and revellers

To sprinkle a little of its magic dust

Which settles into the spaces left between

Food piled in kitchens; parcels tucked under trees

Deflated decorations; precious hopes and dreams

 

On Christmas Eve children in pyjamas, wait longingly

Peering through bedroom windows

Hoping to glimpse Sa...

So. We are done with our expierence of the year 2021

What might we do with the year 2022

Well, first we can dry our tears

Brought to us by the pain of the previous years

Get over our misery, and confront our fears

Life as we have known it has reached its end

Time marches on, another year passed, we turn the bend

Forever living with a pandemic is now the new trend

I was told I need to filter my words.
Be more quiet, let others be heard.
...and for that I was sorry. 

 

Potential suitors intimidated by my success.

Friends tell me maybe say less.
....and for that I was sorry. 

Scholars pointing out my looks as I tried to study my books.

Was there a step I mistook? 

...and still for that I was sorry.

 

But year after year, my fears ...

At Aldeburgh you have to watch your back.

The beach is chilled, the Borough vents its wrath,

And whispered, ghostly choruses proclaim

‘Grimes’, as though in agony. Tormented,

A man prepares to sink his boat. Foghorns

Sound on nearby sandbanks. Night shelters shame.

Sweet morning comes, tearing at consciences

Of perky seafarers. Go, cast your nets,

And bring home lost m...

It was said by some that the church organ

played of its own accord

behind locked doors with no one inside

to do the playing,

but that was when a hesitant wind

sprang across the stubbles of wheat

stretched the branches of trees to harps

and the leaves of hedges with a - rustling

like an ordinance.

You know

So you're drowning right?

But its like everyone else around you can breathe

They seem to be floating on their back with ease

Everyone else has their head above water

Keeping afloat

And even some of the fortunate ones

They have their own boat

Whispering winter

the snow turns the station white

With no mask

Handing out PPE contracts to their mates

For a laugh

 

As the population was falling into graves

They gave out party invites

Drunk on festive cheer.

Tears streaming down the cheeks of relatives

Who couldn’t see them go

Your spark became a flame
Your touch was electric
This heart found a beat
A heart imprisoned in the dark
A lost ancient rhythm
So familiar but forgotten
Eternal
The sound of time
The spine unfolds
The hair stands on the back of his neck
And he howls to the heavens
His curse is freedom
Destined to roam alone
Lethal, restless, unkillable
The world is bleeding him

We become lost within ourselves

Permanently fixated on our reflection upon the water

The image casted out constitutes one’s ego

Look through yourself

Dive into your actions and reasoning

Continually finding ways to stay grounded

Anchor yourself

As there is infinite things to learn below one’s surface

You'd embroidered the Inferno
sewn with the thread
of supple beauty,
endowed Ganguria
with philosophical
profundity and great altitude
of enlightenment.
You'd reconciled
an old skirmish
between disdain
and phobia.
O God, you made
Ganguria an ultimate abode
decked with platonic ideal
of love and mosaic complexion.

So she let the rain set in

 

Alas

When we had nearly given in

Mother nature

Decided she could absolve us from our sins…

So she let the rain set in

 

Her eyes did not water lightly

Instead— she wept a river

She gave us more than we deserved

More than what we thought—she could deliver

 

Everlasting daisies and orchids emerged

In abundance— on the once bone-d...
