I always thought that was just how your sweat smelt. But the perfume of you couldn’t be bottled Or sold in shops that didn’t care about the natural approach to beauty. Mascara was your furthest push into that realm; You never needed, never need, never will need to go any further. I always considered that [...]

A Bit Of Me
I was shaking that first night, Kind of terrified, Worried my pride Was falsified And that I weren’t Deserving of stage space With these tried And tested professionals Or that my truth Became lies As I stood in the spotlights And spit out bars Of past lives So I was shivering In my fingertips, Intimidated [...]
Music Was, Is, Always Will Be, My Life 17/10/21
17/10/21 I found a YouTube channel by the name of The Cozy Representative last week. And I swiftly devoured nearly all of his videos. He does documentary style pieces around the rise (and sometimes fall) of bands prominent in the late naughties/early tens scene and emo movement. When I was in year six, I discovered [...]
Pukka Poem
Wishing good on those you hate is tricky I get sticky With the sour syrup of “Miss me with that wishy- Washy wishing” And get pissy with my heart As it tricks me Into giving out those prayers In moments of quiet Throwing cares at me Like frisbees And hitting every artery With the mastery [...]
Shad, Oh
He’s a shadow And he leans in when I kiss him He’s getting darker For his without when I’m with him Not like before When it was only within I feel guilty When I really admit I miss him But I get off scott free Because no one ever listens Other than him, but He’s [...]
Moving Out And Getting Cold 17/09/2021
17/09/2021 I moved to London when I was sixteen and left a life of slight mundanity behind me. Essex never gave me what I truly needed; it never provided the excess, the chaos, the panting uncertainty that I realised I loved once I moved to the city. I went back to Essex two years after [...]
My Lessons Are Blessings
I’ve always moved in acceleration. Done light years in adolescence, Lived all my 9 before I got my period And made up my mind Before I got any sense. I’ve done plenty I never meant - Wrote texts I’ve never sent, Straightened out kinks I should’ve bent, And attended to events I should’ve left. I [...]
My Skin Is Like The Sky
I sit, head back and neck aching Feet naked and fire blazing Watching the sky; Satellites out on the darkness just grazing And I pick the stars out, it’s amazing. I find them so beautiful, Littering the picture, small spots bursting And patterns of mandalas and faces And shapes and traces of magic Lace the [...]
Chocolate… But Not Really 17/08/21
17/08/21 You’d call me a nutter if I told you how a cup of hot chocolate helped me get in touch with my creativity. And that statement really does sound crazy. Because it is much more limited, lexically, than the expanse of feeling behind it. Ceremonial grade cacao is more than a Horlix, however. Based [...]
Where Everybody Is Somebody
They say the Devil was an angel, But why the past tense? Don’t they sense The raw mystery Of darkness? The glory of black, Or the beauty of swallowed up? So I’m using present to follow up My description of the S word Because there’s a looking glass in all terms Of negative and positive [...]
