So I gave it to him straight

No bullshit

Scored the goal of the decade

I’ve blasted you into oblivion

I’ve been meaning to write this

With the schisms

The prisms

The love

And the loss

Fatal attraction

Like Matrix Resurrections

That force

And that power

To blast you

Into another universe

You think I ‘sound like a lunatic’

I have insanity

And sanity

I need both

The tools to write

To sing

To perform

Shake me

Break me

You make me

Powerful

And I’m done

Do one

As your ex would say

Leave me to pray

I have peace of mind

Isn’t it hard to find

The truth

Of your youth

When you were born ready

But you come to realise

What you need to do

Let it materialise

Into performance

Masterpieces

Unfolding

Poems

To songs

Hands to piano

I have a mighty plan

Like Eminem’s Stan

To be brave

Soldier this process

Make people laugh

And entertain you

Refrain from you

Because you are

Your own worst enemy

You burn your bridges

You’ll never learn

Narcissistic traits

I see all your fates

The rates

And your mental states

Maybe I am a psychic

Maybe I do score a hat trick

Maverick

Mentally strong

Dude

You fucked it

Yet again

So I blast you into oblivion

I’ll make a million

Watch me do it

Fall to your knees

And surrender

This holy grail

I’m afraid

You fail

Hell?

Only time will tell

You’ve been a strain

On my brain

The pain

In the rain

I’d like to entertain the little ones

I’ve written two songs for them

And children’s books

I’m so proud of my work

But mainly my relationships

Because like I said in my speech

Community is really

What it’s all about

I love you all

I hope I see you

When I’m on stage

I’ve walked free

From my cage

With all the animals

And new species coming about

Can’t wait to show you

What I’ve done

I’ve decided not

To become a nun

Because I want to break boundaries

More than Madonna

Be my lucky star

I’ve travelled far

And with you in the crowd

I promise I’ll make you

Proud

Can you handle

8.1 billion people?

Simultaneously

The orchestra of life

I remember and can see

My hands

Writing music

The treble clef

The five lines

The bass clef

Five lines

The notes

With my quill

Sometimes pencil

Once a harp player

Violinist

Often a pianist

Staring at the Monet

For five hours

In Bluebell ward

Where are my paints?

Where are my paints?

I have an obsession

With my hands

Where they go

What they sense

Their pace

Their communication

Their gifts

So you were obsessed with me

You were addicted to me

You were infatuated with me

You loved me

I’m used to it

I can handle it

I was born to deal with it

One guy engraved my name

Onto his arm

At prep school

Fame

What a game

The La di da romance

Maybe you’re a star

But I’ll be your super power

In your billionth hour

We need the supernaturals

We need the rarest phenomenons

We need the radicals

I was born ready

I can handle the death

I can handle the displacement

I can handle the suffering

I can see the fire

I can see the floods

I can feel the earthquakes

I can feel the tsunamis

I am the lightening

I am the hurricane

Mother Earth

Tantric Goddess

Oh Lord, what a mess

If I never speak to you again

That’s ok

If I never see you again

That’s ok

You know it matters to me

Don’t you see how important

Your decisions are?

The path you choose

That way

That woman

Another way

Your son

It’s really up to you

I just want you to be free

Provide anything you need

But you are not the only one

I have a zillion animals

On my mind

We only needed the rare

Combination of your energy

And mine

For something in the future

You may never believe me

It isn’t my madness

It’s just something that happens

Back to the future

Sometimes you have to go back

To go forward

I promise I’ll warn you

Have no fear

It’s pretty crystal clear

Why we need you

Step aside human

Like a comet

Cascading rainbow frets

Only an electric guitar

Could produce

Rockit speed

These days

I’m not even quicker

Than light

I’m already there

Quantum

Refraction

Communicating with aliens

Of the fifth kind

Mainly in the fifth

Dimension of time

Close your eyes

There you will find

The answers

I’m a free spirit

You will never pin me

Down

You will never see me

Frown

You will never understand

The clown

In me

In you

The joker

Of Leaf

My hidden sheath

Of metal

I have an obsession

With music

I am in awe of

Dancers

I only admire you

Look up the definitions

And humble yourself

Your ego and your id

Yes believe in yourself

And love yourself unconditionally

But realise

I am focusing on everything

Mainly this planet’s future

And Freddie’s youth

My gift’s proof

You can win if you want to

I don’t wanna play your game

You can run if you want to

I don’t wanna hear your name

You can dream if you want to

Everything will be revealed to you

You can cry if you want to

Who do you want to catch your tears?

You can hold me if you need to

I’ll always be there for you

A reflection that

Echoes for centuries

A glimmer

Of introspection

That shatters

All illusion

To fragmented

Particles

Of youth

Pure truth

Of propheticism

And brutality

Being strangled

Aged six

Beaten up

With blood pouring

From my nose

Drenching my pink

T-shirt

The delicate air

Deflated from my bicycle tyres

By these broken teenagers

Two Girls

Bruised more than me

The fear I’d never felt

Longing for my mother’s

Cuddles

Alone

The trauma

Of the abuse

Under that weeping

Willow tree

People are going through

So much at the moment

Their pain and struggles

I feel it in my fragile

Core

Yet the tribal strength

That Phoenix

Brings from the ashes

Of naked torment

With her golden

Feathers

And a wing span

That covers

A galactic universe

Caught in the lightning

Screaming at the

Tectonic plates

To remain calm

When their fury

Has me thinking

About 2024

Serenity

Safety

Solace

Synchronicity

Selfless

Stability

Sanctuary

Significance

Serendipitous

Solipsism

Surrender

To your mind, naked flesh

And blood

To flourish

Free their souls

And ‘run to the rescue

With love’

Just Stop Oil

Are you fully aware of what a planet is like without its dependence on oil?

I am but it was a very long time ago

No bicycles

No cars

No planes

No trains

No joints being fixed

No boilers

No gas

No plastics

No phones

No clocks

No tick tocks

Completely different homes

We can walk

We can run

No gun

We can ride horses

Eat courses

In a different way

I’m prepared

We’re fully able to live without oil

But do you truly understand what life is like without oil?

Think

Please

Because we’re on the brink

🆘

I wrote this piece once
Doctors smoke
I put it up on poetry.com
But they took it down
They would
There are doctors who smoke
The drinking culture at Kings
Was obscene
There was this one girl
A student
Who used to make herself
Sick
Just so she could drink more
But the ones who smoke
They know the negatives of smoking
But there are positives of smoking too
Believe it or not
I’ve looked them up
I used to smoke American Spirit
As it doesn’t contain chemicals
The real killers
It kept me in tune
With the native Americans
And the rituals associated with smoking
So I’m in Agios Nikolaos
In a waiting room
With my boyfriend
Who has just had an ECG
Which is normal
So we’re waiting to see the doctor
Diabetes type II
Which I did a presentation on
During my Access course to Medicine
And another one at Kings
Sleep Apnoea
FND
High blood pressure
Anti depressant withdrawal syndrome
Due to Venlafaxine
Do you know how it feels
To be me?
Do I know how it feels
To be you?
I do try to understand
Yes there’s the method acting
But there are also my senses
And my gifts
I wanted to work in A&E
And/or research medications
Because most of them are terrible
With dire side effects
Treat the cause
Not the symptom
Like most western medics do
You need to look at your health overall
Tongue analysis
Heart rate
Nutrition is absolutely key
And how much exercise you need
You’re individual, unique
It’s fascinating and important
To get to know your genes and DNA
We are in the dark ages
But we haven’t always been
If you look to the East
And you look to the past
There’s a lot we need to remind ourselves
Meditation
Vibration
Healing
Kinesiology
Reiki
Your chakras
Biokinesis
So with all that’s going on in the world
And trust me there’s a lot
Try to stay calm
Level headed
Sleep is vital
For literally everything
I’ve saved three lives
In my life
All in a different way
One, the Heimlich Maneuver
Another, a baby who had a severe dairy allergy
Which I told his mother about
But she didn’t listen to me
Until he was in hospital and could hardly breath
I said doctors don’t study nutrition
And that cream’s got lactose in it
If you don’t take him to a nutritionist
He may die
So she did
And he got better
The third, I used my gift
Which I don’t often do
But this spirit was frenetic
So I passed on what he had to say
And days later she told me
‘You saved my life,
I was going to put rocks in my pockets
And jump off a cliff
But after what you did
And what you said
I didn’t
Thank you’
I tend to block it out
That gift
But I’ll use it if I have to
Otherwise it’s too distracting
And to be honest
I’ve got enough to focus on
With the living
Do you suffer from anxiety or depression?
The two most common
Mental health conditions
Please try therapy
And if you can’t wait
Can’t afford it
Look within
And keep reading
Your gut is like your second brain
Understanding that could be the key
The real code to your web
Medication should be your last resort
Seriously
Because trust me
They’re so hard to get off
And your brain becomes reliant on them
They also damage you
The stars change colours
As do we
Make sure you do the right thing
When your colours change

That raw emotive scream

When you enter this world

Transfixed with purpose

What you chose to come back for

Guiding lights from forgotten stars

Hidden messages fading into the universe

Focusing on a script instead of the book

Never ending words on a page

Glistening from the eagle’s eye

I’ve travelled through worlds

Across glaciers and mountains

Swam through oceans

Run across rivers

Spirits’ light year stands still

Peacefully

Whispering echoes

Wisdom from the elders

Golden scriptures written in the air

From stone to plant to finger tips

Preaching proverbial passages

Laterally mimicking each time zone

For when there is only now

Not then and not tomorrow

You see it all

Transfixed by every combination

Pink sky and transcendent lightning

Travelling through

The rarest fire rainbow

Phenomenal luminous colours

From mother nature’s twinkling web

There’s a delicate code

Fibonacci’s sequence

In numerology and ancient astrology

Mythology theology

And prophecy

Sacred philosophy

Finding my feet on sand to grass to mud

Suffocated by oil

And polluted waters

Endless man made plastic

Streaming sentences

Across a dead machine

Bring back the beating of those drums

Dancing across frets

A plectrum strikes the strings

From catgut to nylon

Guttern to vihuela

The mysticism of psychic gifts

Telekinesis

Biokinesis

Elekectrokinesis

Has me thinking

About what’s to come

Soon

Lay low

Lie still

Chill out

Sleep

You’re ready

It’s written on my Sanskrit bracelet

The truth is so old

It’s bold

Be brave

There’s this river of sound

Running through my veins

A cataclysmic energy

A raging violent volcano

Causing a mega tsunami

Of tainted emotion

My silhouette of songs

From the golden era of

Rock ‘n’ Roll

Cascading colours across the stage

Emblazoning technicolour strobe lights

Luminous and silver costumes

And music videos transcending

Time

Eclipsing the paralleled universes

As time reminisces

This ancient Persian masked dance

Where it takes me back

To galloping across the strains of sand

Hiding from the moonlit palace

The stars whisper their scriptures

Along forgotten corridors

Stored in ancient galaxies

I can feel your hands

In a forgotten era

Of woodland and windy trees

I don’t need to be standing beside you

To sense your sacred soul

Splitting lateral to fragmented seconds

Evolutionising from ape

To caveman

To warrior

Bring it back Poseidon

With your gigantic trident

Aphrodite’s sprinting

Through the chariots of

Rhythm

Why so many souls and

So many lives

To bring me back round

Here again

Longing for that one friend’s

Forgiveness

Stride on through Mercury’s

Pace

And Jupiter’s power

To soldier this process

Sing from my soul

Without the strength of the drums

I’d be lost

In the oracle

Of the oceanic ethereal dream

Those feelings last night

Of endless flowing waterfalls

Full of love and tantric energy

A schism, endless prism

Of the vortex of many souls

Yes there is one

But I never see him

Have never held him

Or kissed those lips

But the Gods and the universe

Know this story so well

This fable is so old

So many lives have gone by

Knowing this one

Is it madness?

It doesn’t feel like it

It feels like heaven

Pure truth

So to the next chapter

Of not knowing if we’ll

Ever meet again

I’m gonna perform

In these luminous trainers

Wearing black

And silver jewellery

Reciting these words from heart

Playing my part

Surrounded by the love

And lack of judgement

From fellow poets, musicians and artists

From gig to gig

Working on my craft

Honing those vocal notes

Practising the strings

Tinkling the keys

Therein lies the magic

And my purpose

Thank you Jazzi, Alia, Mia and T./MO

For the encouragement

And wisdom

To keep going

Progress

I know this journey is my purpose

With sisterhood and brotherhood

Listening to his sound

Helps the words flow

But we gotta go

Keep running

Up that hill

Climbing Lion’s Head

To me, you’ll never be dead

With a responsibility

I don’t take light

A fear that causes

Me fright

Heads up

Looking into your eyes

The sea of souls

We’re in this together

And forever

We’re whole

You come back into my life like a fire ball

I thought you were long gone

I’m not going to allow you to let me fall

There’s a world mourning

All for a different reason

Iranian women burning their hijabs

What has been committed is pure treason

Schisms of broken glass

Women’s emotions lying dead in the grass

Picking up the pieces from the mirror you broke

Taking their fragile feelings

A chaotic woven mess of all your dealings

Playing them like a game of chess

You create a wrath in me I confess

How does it truly feel to be you?

Full of lies, drugs, booze and what you do

You’ve created your bed of broken states

You wonder why you’re surrounded by a world full of hates

Black man got shot for no crime

Why don’t psychopaths and narcissists do some time?

I can walk away like I did before

Leave all their tears and fears scattered across the floor

How dare you treat someone like that?

Manipulation, dedication to yourself

Leaving all your perpetual success on the shelf

Unless it benefits you, you’re not interested in the cause

Made me feel like I was your girl

But really there were many

And it was just your wanted fame that had you counting every penny

I cared about what happened to you

Burning every bridge that was carefully built

Every special relationship like a hand sewn quilt

You’re welcome to your nest of sting

You have so much potential

And we all know what that could bring

Cut me down, bleed the pain

I’m always stronger for it

I’ll rise again and refrain

From saying anything to ruin your song

Put it into rhyme, chime, dime, mime

The list is monumentally sacred and long

And you know I’ve done the work and the never ending time

Leave this history where it’s supposed to be

Focus on myself for once and let you all fly free

I thought I’d found someone new

You know I’m honest so you know it’s true

Yes there was a song but I thought that’s all it was

Didn’t realise there was so much more because

We’re back round here again

Like a decade ago, you all put me through hell

Not wanting to remember or even tell

But it’s a choice what we do and what we leave

I thought that chapter was over

Let me breathe

You didn’t want to be friends and I was fine with that

People like you move on easily

Fact

It’s written in your type

The one you’re treating badly

Is the one who has all the hype

Talent, skill, empathy and good will

Leave them alone or be a man until

You can behave well and look after someone

Learn how to love and what love really is

Do some work in that area

Then your world and ours might be a little fairer
