The Bookshop Poets
A whispering of my words
Amongst millions of others
Sat upon the bookshop shelves
Humbling, and profound
Sharing our words of poetry
With the ever silent audience
That never recipricated
Remaining as quiet as mice
I never saw the secrets
Contained within their covers
Whilst awaiting their 'dog-ears'
A multitude of printed words
The majority of which
I will likely never read
I wondered
What if all these words
From all the books
Within the confines
Of just this one bookshop
Should escape their...

"Doing A Damian."
Hello, brothers and sisters of the Underground. It is I. Interesting story here. So I know someone who’s taking college classes, and had turned in a thesis, or something that they had to write for a grade.
Anyhow, they have to run their work through an AI detection system. The report came back as 97% chance that AI was used. He knew he wrote the paper, and had to go through all the red tape to prove that point.
It’s resolved, folks. My friend proved his case, that the work was indeed his. Here’s the thing, through the whole process they found out the computer...

Winter Solstice
So many young lives I have been a Nightingale unto, nursing wicked choices
Trying to find that beautiful spark in the dark, somewhat opened eyes, bathed in stone hearts, give rises to maddening voices
Changed in the matter of moments with treating the elements of a torn soul
In the cradle of time my pouring streams never cease its universal flow
It patrols on within the depths by my Creator, blessed on the current where it softly consoles
Regrets confessed from mouths, praying, hoping, humanity needing to be reassured lifespan will get...

Heartless
I found
A scarlet heart
Lying broken
Upon my carpet
Within my room
It bled not
And showed no signs
Of ever
Being loved

Much Ado......
Just thinking about language
And colloquial variations
So....
Would a 'northern' version
Of newt
Be nowt?
There's no bout adoubt it
And how is no sense
The same as nonsense
Only different?
And can you ride tandem?
These questions, and more
Are much ado about nothing
Or
Much ado about nowt
Or should that therefore
Be newt?

Unseen
I sit back, unseen,
in the shadows of your lives,
watching the threads
that pull you—fragile, messy things—
tangle and twist.
I don’t need to speak,
don’t need to be seen,
I’m here to catch the moments
when you think you’re invisible—
that’s when the truth slips through.
Patterns emerge in the chaos,
a heartbeat’s hesitation,
the flicker in the eye
before you hide the secret,
before you lie to yourself.
You move,
like marionettes
dancing on a stage
no one...
in the shadows of your lives,
watching the threads
that pull you—fragile, messy things—
tangle and twist.
I don’t need to speak,
don’t need to be seen,
I’m here to catch the moments
when you think you’re invisible—
that’s when the truth slips through.

the flicker in the eye
before you hide the secret,
before you lie to yourself.

Inherit
Wicked games exploited as entertainment
Behind the scenes reveals a different story
Famous filmmaker waits for his arraignment
For scandals that will erase all former glory
Secrets often get buried in a shallow grave
With a phone call most problems disappear
Flesh is payment and what monsters crave
Casting couch starlet is cast in a role of fear
Ritualistic art has to mimic something real
Depravity holds power over individual merit
Behind a mask lies an identity they conceal
Fame comes with so much misery to inherit

Sun Dance
As the sun, and moon
Danced together
Under a blue azure sky
Stars
Awaiting the twilight
Their moment for now
Held within the limbo of daylight
And whilst the sun shone
The universe quietly lingered on
As the wings of time
Floated on the ether
Awaiting the twilight of the unknown

Compassion is love
To have compassion we must have a sense of real love with support to care about others, for sure it's cost you nothing to care about someone else well being of life. For sure to have compassion we must reach out and touch, the truth of the heart and spiritual soul for salvation, is always gonna be a blessing in the dark deepness of the soul. For sure we have to learn what compassion, is truly understanding that it's the importance of really caring about others, as well as thyself. For it's true that if you don't have compassion, how can you imagine what others are going through in there own...

Couldn't Read My Eyes
Memories painted by a disgruntled brush
Dysfunctional thoughts falling short of wise
Won a game of poker with a busted flush
I bluffed a demon who couldn’t read my eyes

Generation to Generation
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ For what does it mean to pass down from generation to generation, as it was a precious red stone pass down from Generation to Generation. FOR the elders say that the red stone was not created by man, as it came from out of the ground but it was created, by the elements of time. FROM the ancient times of long ago before man even existed in the land, that time has forgotten. For it's sole purpose was as it was presented as a gift, created as a gift that had Mystikal powers. AS it was created out of a...

I wonder
Will the government finally give credit to,
The drug they try so hard to hate?
The only thing that gave me happiness,
When they took my kid away.
Will the government finally realize,
That when you isolate,
There is no one to give credit to,
Except the drugs they dearly hate.
Now that I'm doing better,
And friends don't make play dates,
Will the government care for my daughter,
And fully compensate?
The drug they try so hard to hate?
The only thing that gave me happiness,
When they took my kid away.
Will the government finally realize,
That when you isolate,
There is no one to give credit to,
Except the drugs they dearly hate.
Now that I'm doing better,
And friends don't make play dates,
Will the government care for my daughter,
And fully compensate?
