Pandemic Pandemonium
oh twisted
fragile mind
tangled within
a fine almost
invisable Web
creating
more intimidating
intrusive fears
while reconnecting
wiith all the long
dormant ones
breathless panic
of being among
familiar settings
that at one time
where a comfortable
sanctuary for sanity
joys of
personal freedom
cruelly taken
replaced by
self denial
of an insane situation
shame
self worth
given daily access
as true faith
is slowly ...

Slipped by
The inner child’s ardent longing - for days that have come to pass. Hearken back to infinite summers, accompanied by contented nights. Carelessly floating on unlimited dreams, uninterrupted imagination. Flawlessly innocent, untouched by the stagnant weight this aging brings. The longing of ethereality and youthful wonder.

Update - A Solution At Last!
As my readers will know, a fire broke out on the floor above my flat on Sunday 6 March, causing vast structural damage. As a result, I had to leave my flat due to safety and I found myself homeless.
Although I wasn’t present at the time of the fire and was later able to retrieve my belongings, I felt unable to cope with the prospect of ongoing displacement, especially as London rents have risen sharply over the past few years and finding alternative accommodation proved almost impossible.
I spent nearly eight weeks in hotels, struggling with acute panic attacks. During...

Easter Update
Things are still uncertain. As you may know, a fire destroyed the top floor of the building where I was living on Sunday 6 March. As a result of this, I lost my flat. Complexity arose in the days following; suffice it to say, I’m technically homeless and not covered by any insurance.
Add a short bout of COVID, and the stress levels went crazy. I made a speedy recovery though.
Wishing everyone a good and peaceful and reflective Easter.

Like Job...Or Jeremiah UPDATE: COVID-FREE
Where is God in all this?
The fire three weeks ago forced me to leave my flat.
I'm not only homeless (due to the neglect of others who overloaded the electrical circuit);
I've just tested positive for COVID.

Nopoo #188
[original first draft written on 05/19/2021]
Twisted inside my web
tangled fear becomes stand-in comfort
waning faith masquerades pain
Ignorance stitches eyes sewn shut,
avoidance hugs it's arms
enshrouding my shriveled husk
[with embarrassing procrastination]
If I was a better person I'd probably hear
"for shame" ringing
after each dire consequential choice
Being tender naked and solo stayed
in this whirl of pseudo placid
so-called unafraid

An Unwanted Ménage à Trois
With a global pandemic
And a war in Europe
Life has turned to strange
And if
All that isn't enough
We also have climate change

Sickness
For the first time in my life,
I am actually afraid to die.
I’ve gone from laying in bed everyday for
the last two months.
Now, a hospital.
Cold. Overcrowded.
Frightened and ashamed.
Ashamed is the odd feeling.
I avoid making eye contact, so that
Nobody knows how sick I actually am.
My legs are starting to become paralyzed.
For being only 27, this is a very hard thing to
Wrap your mind around.
I’m just another statistic for this global pandemic.
I had a near death experience that has

Senryu: Well That's Just Great!
Much too wide the net
bullet too fast to outrun
curse you omicron
Masked among the maskless
per force agoraphobic
still the piper's paid
Dearest omicron
I've been a good boy I have!
pray a light sentence

Wake Up!
This strange existence
In this strange new world
As invisible forces
Control our life's
We now roam this planet
Like masked bandits
Fearful of what we touch
Or breathe
And all those
For whom we may grieve
Hoping to wake up
And finding
It's all been a dream
Then blurry-eyed reality
Creeps in with the awakening
Wake up! Wake up!
Please wake up!

Mass hysteria
I’ll fight them all,
Today, I stay with myself
Protect my own.
And even though you think I'm no good, I must be crazy,
I won't let your ignorance drive me insane.
Won't let your opinion weigh on mine.
See, I make my own choices...
Your army of sheep can’t drive me crazy.
Your demons I do not find intimidating.
Cause I will fight them all.
Today, I’ll stay with myself
Satisfied with the choices I make.
Today I won, not just from you, but from my own insecurities.

Exhausted - Third Jab
Despite struggling with a marked needle phobia, I went for the Booster Jab yesterday, primarily due to a history of pneumonia and asthma. I took a mild sedative prescribed by the GP. A friend accompanied me to the vaccination centre and we went for lunch afterwards.
I felt a bit unwell today and dozed throughout the afternoon and evening, having some pretty crazy dreams. Plus, my arm is sore.
I felt and feel a strong sense of gratitude towards the staff at the centre. While I was there, someone got angry over the mandatory instruction to remain on the premises for 15...
