The leaves glisten in the morning dew
The solitude of peace erases your stress
Light an unwavering candle
Read a calming book
A glimmer of hope shines bright when the clock moves slowly
Walk through the green, luscious grass
Or feel the wind on your finger tips riding a bike
Run like you’ve never run before
Sprint at the end
Shower and allow the water to cleanse your soul
Feel the fast pace and embrace the slow pace
I can sense the doctors and nurses hard at work
I can see the food production industry in full force
Slow down, don’t panic, this too shall pass
As Blake described so eloquently

‘To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour’

A shadow of distant memory grasps the universe completely
The hustle and bustle of children’s energy
Contrasting with the elderly’s fragility and gaze
Dream to listen, listen to grow, grow to wisdom
And let your life flow
For other’s fortune
Entertainment and ocean’s dance
Mother Nature has her reasons, she always does and always will
Respect her urgency, her need for this
The story was foretold, the calm before the storm
But in peace there lies sanity, in grace there is freedom
My Bear’s in isolation with his cat, Denari
Yet it is he who calms me down and says we’ll get through this
Today is a new day, a new beginning, where the pen loves the paper of scroll to ink
Paint, sing, dance, work, run, write, laugh, cry
As time waits for no one but waits for everyone in vain
Know that when the dying die, there is a light
That light shines bright, there is calm and there is no suffering
Imagine a world without suffering
A comet in the vastness of space

The temperament of blazing sun
Whilst fully aware of alarming floods
In a country I call home
The United Kingdom divided
By a political stance
Do you sense the perceived percentage?
The disproportionate amount who have no vote?
The cries for a Second Referendum
Are our crying voices being heard?
Even if shouted from the rooftops of protest
The choices being made by a few
In an unsteady, wavering parliament
Arguing aggressively like school children
In a ferociously competitive playground
The favourite steaming ahead bashfully
Without clear insight into the country’s current mood
For fear of losing face
To a decision once made
Born from lies and deceit
A Brexit party unearthed from frustration
I cannot understand why working together is not an option
I feel the unnerve when it comes to the EU
But I listen to Macron, to Merkel
Can we not change from within?
Start again
Wipe the slate clean
A blank canvas awaits my eye
With powers such as Russia, the US & China
Our we not isolating our vulnerable island further?
To respect the decision of the first outcome
Is like accepting a winner of a game who has chosen to cheat
Do we wish for those very cheats to run and rule our Britannia?
This Brexit is a sorry tale
Laughable on a global scale
The arrogance and defiance will leave you standing alone
The psychoanalysis of each and every one of you
Do you lead or do you follow?
I know what I do
But I know what you do too
Because I see a bull in a china shop
I see a climate emergency
I see an isolation
A conflict of language
Preventing our communication
To work together
Strive together
Fight together
With woe dear land this story is so old
A forgotten lesson besieged within our wounds of time
We carry our land like the trooping of the colour
Listen and learn from your fellow friend
Across a channel, an ocean, an island, a bridge
The sense of imbalance strikes so mighty
A fearful fright that’ll alarm you 10 years from now
Mark my words
I’ll hold your stare
Trust me, I’ve seen it with a startling glare

Written in Crete 18:20 14/06/19

Listening between the lines to your song
The mysticism that slips through the wind streams
The pain, the anguish, the addiction, the raw emotive scream
I run, I breathe, I write, I dream
Your non existent messages that drive me to success
Your faces, the memories, the forgotten friendship
My moves, my words, my book, my film
The ego that’s driven from the depths of your insecurities
The fame, the so called La Di Da Romance
The healers, the guides, the astral travellers awake
I think of Rich, Arabella, the love of my life, my family
From the prowess and strength of my cousin
To give birth with the endurance that only a Goddess might
Bringing Elliana and all her beauty into this world
The tears of choice to not marry or be with child
The illness, the medication, the weight of hate
But I swim with fight like you’ve never seen
From The Olympiad to the Ancient Greek mythological old soul
I’m back, I’m ruthless but kind, thoughtful, caring, considerate
It’s always work in progress, constant editing
I’ll leave you behind, I show you no eyes
Resurrecting with Extinction Rebellion to oblivion
Age UK Wandsworth to the food bank in the church
Their sorry eyes, their thirst, the homeless soul
I work for, I drive, I will for
To rectify these sorry Governmental decisions
An exit from a Brexit that isolates our vulnerable island
When we flood and trust me, we will…
Will you have solidified your bonds?
Your alliances, your friends?
Will you leave everyone behind and find yourself…
Alone, on the water drenched island?
I’ll be swimming, running, saving, fighting
From the chariots with horses that gallop through the skies
The fire rainbows, the cyclones of damage
We’ll find a tide, a gentle water with a guiding hand
Due to the karma we represented
Are you awake? Are you alone? Are you ready?
Join hands and grasp the battle that lies ahead in the crystal ball
The sun is shining, the heat that will one day burn your fair skin
Will you change, rearrange, order your disorder?
I hope so with all the Gods’ might
You’ll find the answers in the stars you look up to at night.

The skies I see before me ⛈
With Alchemistic Mystic eyes 👀
I stare into the crystal ball 🔮
And see….
The falling trees 🌳
The rising water 💦
The devastating floods ☔️
The unbearable drought 💧

Written by PALICE 17.07.18

Get up
Get out of your head
Look out of your window
What do you choose instead?
If you’re passing the time
Drifting passively numb
Building your sublime
Maybe you should get up
Get out of your head
Choose your path
Choose your life instead

Let me wiggle it
Let me jiggle it
Wack it, smack it and crack it
Do I draft it?
Do I copy it?
Do I write it?
Yes I do.
Do you like me?
Do I care?
Let me show you
How I dance
And watch me
How I dare.
Can you hear me?
Do I see you?
Let me show you
You’re still there
How I feel you
How I like you
Let me prove
I’ll last your stare.

Let me shock you
Let me rock you
Let me laugh, giggle and scream
Let me strip
Let me dress
Let me cry
Let me impress
Want you to see
What I’m made of
Wanna be the new
Rock Goddess
Can I be your lady?
Aphrodite
With quality, leadership and success
Can I entertain you?
Don’t wanna change you
Want you to listen
Gotta be the best

Let me reap it
Let me sow it
Rap it, trap it and
Build my nest
Can I show you my freedom
Put me to the test
Maybe you’ll slam me
And ridicule me
Call me a crap lyricizest
But I’ll show you
What I’m made of
I’m better than all the best.

Love me
Or shove me
Just listen to me
And trust me
Will they slate me?
Will they rate me?
I’ll just have to see
How my energies fest

Contradict me
Inspire me
Free me
Epitomise me
Demise me
Despise me
Fate me and
Create me
Integrate me
I’ll support you
Not retort you
Got my own style
No crappy taste

Reciprocate
Interrogate
Interpretate
The ideal mate.

Let me join you
Let you heal you
I’ll see your karmic state
I’ll find you
I’ll clarify you
I’ll draw your current rate
Let me act, refract
Watch you react
Don’t photograph me
For my soul’s sake.

Wanna interest you
Want to capture you
The essence of a time
The space
The place
The world
The face
The crime
The war
The peace
That fine
The debt
The home
The dream
The time
Remember Band Aid
Fair Trade
Round the world
I’m not gonna fade.

PALICE 12.10.04

(I remember writing this in the back of the car, took me no longer than about 5 minutes, with my brother sitting next to me and I read it allowed: ‘Palice, did you just write that now?’ ‘Yes Will, just now, staring out of the window. Why not, just passing the time’.
The timing of the words interests me the most and what other artists were writing at the same time: what I like to call ~ The Orchestra of Life).

Holy Mary Mother of God
Who Art in Heaven
Hollowed be thy Name
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Will Be Done
On Earth, as it is in Heaven
Please give us this day
Our daily Holy Water
And forgive us, our trespasses,
As we forgive those, who trespass against us
Please lead us not into Temptation
But deliver us from Evil
For Thine is the Kingdom
The Power and the Glory
For Ever and Ever
AWOMEN, AMEN
