Molly
May the days of your life be simple, rewarding,
Calm and full of wonder and surprise...
Where you sing and dance to your own tune and not to others expectations of how you should be in their eyes...
May your conscience be as clear and as precious as a Midsummer’s day,
That you have tried your best and then done even better and that you have built yourself up while the Demons that haunted you they rot and decay...
And if this wary kaleidoscope world has beaten you down with a crooked stick,
I pray that you rise with grace and dignity to show others how it’s done...
Calm and full of wonder and surprise...
Where you sing and dance to your own tune and not to others expectations of how you should be in their eyes...
May your conscience be as clear and as precious as a Midsummer’s day,
That you have tried your best and then done even better and that you have built yourself up while the Demons that haunted you they rot and decay...
And if this wary kaleidoscope world has beaten you down with a crooked stick,
I pray that you rise with grace and dignity to show others how it’s done...

Free from slavery..
I now get stoned from skimming stones across an icy lake,,
I now alter my mind from acting out to kind which is more of my natural state,,
The only place I am high is from the top of this glorious glorious hill,,
And not from a drink or a line or a pipe or from the taste of a pharmaceutical pill,,
I now get my kicks from not kicking myself,,
And it does wonders for my spiritual and emotional and fragile mental health,,
I just feel high as a kite By embracing Life with all its trials and woes,,
My path is now cleansed with understandable friends and nobody...
I now alter my mind from acting out to kind which is more of my natural state,,

And it does wonders for my spiritual and emotional and fragile mental health,,
I just feel high as a kite By embracing Life with all its trials and woes,,
My path is now cleansed with understandable friends and nobody...

Tragedy
It was to be the greatest tragedy of my life,,
I lost my mind
My self-respect
My immediate family and potential wife,,
I chose not to fix that which was broken,,
For fear of what I would find once awoken and open,,
But we find joy in the most unexpected unpredictable places,,
I am alone but do not feel alone when I get a reciprocated smile from strangers faces,,
I didn’t have to dig that deep to find I’m only human after all,,
And with a heart full of gratitude and my height raised to what feels like 7 foot tall,,
And I let go that of which is...
I lost my mind
My self-respect
My immediate family and potential wife,,
I chose not to fix that which was broken,,
For fear of what I would find once awoken and open,,
But we find joy in the most unexpected unpredictable places,,
I am alone but do not feel alone when I get a reciprocated smile from strangers faces,,
I didn’t have to dig that deep to find I’m only human after all,,
And with a heart full of gratitude and my height raised to what feels like 7 foot tall,,

Day/night
Welcome this new day
Clean and healthy
Body and mind
For what need have we?
For the excessive
For the extravagant
Or the extreme?
To remain strong and aware
Full of love and curiosity
The best we can,,
everyday
No matter what..
Inside us all
Is a goodness of nature
A fineness of spirit
And a kindness of heart
Nurture it...always.
We are truly blessed,,,
Thank you mum and dad💕

f**king Happy
So fucking happy
I’m skipping like a child
So fucking happy
It’s impossible to hide
So fucking happy
I’m going fucking wild
So fucking happy
I cannot fucking sleep
So fucking happy
Do I love or fucking weep?
So fucking happy
Feeling whole and
Com”fucking”plete..
So fucking happy
Think I’m going to fucking die
So fucking happy
About you and I
So fucking happy
Got a twinkle in my fucking eye
So fucking happy
Think I’m going to fucking burst
So fucking happy
Only you...
I’m skipping like a child
So fucking happy
It’s impossible to hide
So fucking happy
I’m going fucking wild
So fucking happy
I cannot fucking sleep
So fucking happy
Do I love or fucking weep?
So fucking happy
Feeling whole and
Com”fucking”plete..
So fucking happy
Think I’m going to fucking die

About you and I
So fucking happy
Got a twinkle in my fucking eye
So fucking happy
Think I’m going to fucking burst
So fucking happy

Oi Addiction!! (Shit happens, but so do miracles)
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Making me choose drugs, over my beautiful children
My spirited stepdaughters, my soulmate of a woman
My Ma my Pa...
“ so vicious“
“ so venomous“
“ indiscriminate“
What the fuck have you made me do?
The memories are not worth remembering
The secrets i used to get up to...
The isolation,The manipulation
Curtains drawn, sick in your own degradation.
Without invitation you invite me to die
Crumbling and stumbling “ Who the fuck am I“?
Where have I gone? I am better...
Making me choose drugs, over my beautiful children
My spirited stepdaughters, my soulmate of a woman
My Ma my Pa...
“ so vicious“
“ so venomous“
“ indiscriminate“
What the fuck have you made me do?
The memories are not worth remembering
The secrets i used to get up to...
The isolation,The manipulation
Curtains drawn, sick in your own degradation.
Without invitation you invite me to die
Crumbling and stumbling “ Who the fuck am I“?
Where have I gone? I am better...

And still I smoke..
I heave my laden weary chest up yonder hill
And still I smoke
Morning coffee compliments my throat and blood
And still I smoke
To be anonymously glazed by city smog
And still I smoke
We find comradeship and solidarity in damp and draughty doorways
And still I smoke
Bereft of unfettered air
And still I smoke
We reek of ale and stench of toil
And still I smoke
Which of the thousands of Gods that we have spawned can save me?
Pick and mix and mix and pick
And still I smoke
My dying breath on autumn dusk
And still I...
And still I smoke
Morning coffee compliments my throat and blood
And still I smoke
To be anonymously glazed by city smog
And still I smoke
We find comradeship and solidarity in damp and draughty doorways
And still I smoke
Bereft of unfettered air
And still I smoke
We reek of ale and stench of toil
And still I smoke
Which of the thousands of Gods that we have spawned can save me?
Pick and mix and mix and pick
And still I smoke
My dying breath on autumn dusk
And still I...

Protect
When the sun shines blind from the ancient sky
And the wind blows keen from the northern Sea
Or the rain weeps down from the big black cloud
I will protect you
When an angry crowd shouts your name out loud
Or Demons creep when your sound asleep
Or the devil walks into your thoughts
I will protect you
When strangers stare with an unwelcome air
Or you’ve split your sail in a Force ten gale
Or when you feel scared from tales you’ve heard
I will protect you
When monsters smile with you on their mind
And if curses slip from...
And the wind blows keen from the northern Sea
Or the rain weeps down from the big black cloud
I will protect you
When an angry crowd shouts your name out loud
Or Demons creep when your sound asleep
Or the devil walks into your thoughts
I will protect you
When strangers stare with an unwelcome air
Or you’ve split your sail in a Force ten gale
Or when you feel scared from tales you’ve heard
I will protect you
When monsters smile with you on their mind
And if curses slip from...

5th or 6th
I could easily see you
On the cover of a French magazine
Your conscience is faultless
And you move
with the grace of a queen
I will surely marry you one fine day
Be it, on the 5th or 6th of May
I could easily drink you
With segments of lemon or lime
I am hocusly pocusly
Memorised by your smile
I will surely marry you one fine day
Be it, on the 5th or 6th of May..
Forget Cleopatra
the heroes they bow to your feet
And every stranger
Looks at you twice in the street
I will surely...
On the cover of a French magazine
Your conscience is faultless
And you move
with the grace of a queen
I will surely marry you one fine day
Be it, on the 5th or 6th of May
I could easily drink you
With segments of lemon or lime
I am hocusly pocusly
Memorised by your smile
I will surely marry you one fine day

Looks at you twice in the street

Betty Milk
The arse end of January 2012,
how my humble life was truly transformed,
by the arrival of a dear friend.
She needed me and Oh my god
Did I need her!
We spent the first two weeks in isolation
Jack Frost was strutting his stuff
and when we emerged we made a compatible pair...
She was my flavour
So the Juice has got to be worth the squeeze,
My shadow ,my bedfellow
what more could be both possibly need?
She has a regality and a vitality
and fits snuggly in our cosy little family...
I am done with things that do not nurture...
how my humble life was truly transformed,
by the arrival of a dear friend.
She needed me and Oh my god
Did I need her!
We spent the first two weeks in isolation
Jack Frost was strutting his stuff
and when we emerged we made a compatible pair...
She was my flavour
So the Juice has got to be worth the squeeze,
My shadow ,my bedfellow
what more could be both possibly need?
She has a regality and a vitality
and fits snuggly in our cosy little family...
I am done with things that do not nurture...

Rosa
My daughter has a spirit,
Of which a Shaman would be proud.
And a presence that would illuminate,
A million strong sad crowd...
She has a southern heart
And a northern soul,
We knew this before her birth...
She is all four seasons rolled into one,
She is air,,she is fire,,she is water,,she is earth💛
Of which a Shaman would be proud.
And a presence that would illuminate,
A million strong sad crowd...
She has a southern heart
And a northern soul,
We knew this before her birth...
She is all four seasons rolled into one,
She is air,,she is fire,,she is water,,she is earth💛

Molly Alice birthday song (step-daughters)
The light in my eyes is a reflection of twins
And the tune in my ears “molly and Alice” it sings
And the growth of my love is the greatest of things
It pulls at my heartstrings....
I’d give them the world and more if I could
I fractured the family now I want to make up
For all the pain that I’ve caused with so much love
Well it’s just not enough
I’ve promised myself I’ll do all that it takes
To protect them from danger and amend my mistakes
The devil has left me my Demons are gone
Now I feel strength to go on and on...
And the tune in my ears “molly and Alice” it sings
And the growth of my love is the greatest of things
It pulls at my heartstrings....
I’d give them the world and more if I could
I fractured the family now I want to make up
For all the pain that I’ve caused with so much love
Well it’s just not enough
I’ve promised myself I’ll do all that it takes
To protect them from danger and amend my mistakes
The devil has left me my Demons are gone
Now I feel strength to go on and on...
