POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Taking an unorthodox road to enlightenment and hoping others feel inspired to make their own way, too.
Priorities
I need to regain my focus
I have not been making progress
Wasting my time in my own mess
Living a lie nearly homeless
Tryna provide for my future
I am not sure what to shoot for
Making my rhymes, no computer
Shot by the shop for the user
Sat on my ass, with a spliff down to half
It’s 17 past 12, I’m needing a bath
And need to tidy my shit up
Cause I’ve been bringing a kid up
Not quite a father, but kinda
.......She just worded it nicer
So, is, this, my, de-cline?
Re-peat, need, a, re-wind ...

Get the green, bag it up
Let em know, saddle up
Hit the road mate,
Sling your goods
Keep your wits mate
This the hood
And when you get back
We gone divvy it up
Don’t be a div mate
I ain’t a mug
When I say 200 that’s what I mean
Anything less then I ain’t gone be pleased
I’m telling you now for your own benefit
If you do me wrong you won’t hear the end of it
I’m helping you out mate, so help yourself too
I’m friendly at first mate but don’t make me rude
It’s business, not leisure
So don’t get...

Religious Human Condition
In the beginning, there was nothing but a soul
Just an empty vessel, cold
floating aimlessly alone
Forged of energy for sure, but more importantly could grow
Capable of reaching through the endlessness abode
With no form or structure, oozing shapeless into moulds
At the whim of nature’s wrath and trapped without any control
It starts a journey laid out,
right before it, one that’s told
One with no clear introduction, one that’s infinitely old
The scene begins to unfold,
A path that it must wonder
Through the most perilous of places ...

Fear smells strong
I can sense it from a mile away
You pussy ass punk
I’ll have your head inside a microwave
You can’t do shit
Except prepare for when you die today
I’m coming for your blood
Now’s your chance to find a hideaway
Don’t think you can save yourself
Im built to handle danger well
So even if you were a threat
I’d have your head and take your belt
I haven’t even had to warm up for it, I’ve been chilling out
So get your shillings out, you’re paying for it, should’ve shut your silly mouth...

This is me
This is all I’ll ever be
This is truth
From the heart
I’ve been like this from the start
This is true
I just turned it into art
I just took my muses, used the tools of music, got into it, building up my Noah’s Ark
Taking lessons from the past
To depart
from the dark
that I come from, but I’m cut
On a shard
Of the glass
That my chin was made of, ha-fucking-ha
Guess the laughs
that were shared at my expense
Were a test, I couldn’t pass
As a youngen I would always feel I was the weaker part ...

Turn up (get lit)
I got shivers
A tingle
A buzz go through my body like its shingles
Let’s get this party popping like it’s Pringles
Let’s bring them girlfriends out and get them moving like they single
Don’t just hang about around the outskirts baby mingle
Get wavy
Put your drinks up
I know you come for one thing so let’s link up
Let’s let the music move us till we sync up
We’re getting into any kind of mischief we can think up
Let’s make them glasses overflow like we just filled the sink up
It’s crazy
I know babe
Make promises...

The Situation
Sold my belongings just to pay my mumma rent
Tryna keep my focus making payment come again
Offering my labour to the people round the way
I won’t stop the hunt until I finally found the pay
I really need to move out, feel the tension in the house
Staying up to write all night but I can’t make a sound
Constant alpha battles with my dad for stupid reasons
Have to love my parents but I just can’t wait to leave them
Mumma always hurting, got that neck and shoulder pain
Balancing my care for her and building up a name
I can’t be a carer and build...

Blue
Rare is blue when you look too close
The sky’s an illusion,
and them flying blue things
have tiny protrusions
that refract the light m
but no kind of a pigment is used it’s true that even blue is nonexistent in eye colour
Another lack of pigment actually
So blue is a sly bugger
Unless you luck out find some lapis lazuli dug up
One of only two known natural blues in existence
Everything else is just a trick
