17/06/2021 For this month’s newsletter I wanted to do something a little bit different. I wrote this piece last year after noting down all of the things I saw when on a walk. It is about loneliness and how it can effect the way we view the world, but also about how the world can [...]

I Wasn’t Raised On Scripture
I wasn’t raised on scripture or a certain ideology I had my own brain and was allowed to let it follow me Many times in youth, hit hard with the truth, But I never let it swallow me And I’ve met God plenty of times but he never did acknowledge me I’ve been broken before, [...]
Knock Knees Please
Knock knees with me please Tangle toes and trip up fingers Over my lines and creases Breath into my cupped palms Suck your belly up in my arms Dig your elbows into my ridges Scratch my shins with uncut nails Lick my forehead with your split ends Kiss me at the coil of my snake [...]
The Cold Makes Me So 17/05/21
17/05/21 Thank fuck winter’s nearly over! This year I really noticed the shift in my emotional stability and happiness as the cold grew stronger and the light dimmer. I’d spent summer and early autumn doing a lot of gardening, yoga, walking, healthy eating, as well as other beneficial activities such as practicing the piano and [...]
Lady Of The Rings
He wanders my heart’s chambers Like Gandalf, light-of-his-staff-less and blinded In the winding, dark caves of Moria And of course, he meets his Balrog He meets his fire and his shadows He meets his falling demise Straight into the darkness of me and my beating love But I’m no fellowship. I’m not the braveness And [...]

I am just this fleshy, bony Bag of body, Enveloped in pink toned hide And sheltered by the soft bristle Of tiny blonde strands. I am hard to the push, With ossein structure And a hole in my stomach Waiting for life But only being flushed with modified substance. I am the present head of [...]
I Love, I Love, I Love 17/04/2021
17/04/21 Last year I had the idea to put together a poetry collection. I started looking through the thousands of poems I’ve written over time, some only a few lines, some a full five pages of rhymes, some just little ideas or incomplete attempts. I realised that just looking through the poetry would get me [...]
Here’s A Bit Of Me For You
There is nothing more important Than sharing yourself with others Even if their reaction isn’t what you were looking for, If you wanted more or are left feeling sour, sore With a rage in your core Because you needed that cage of You Poured out and explored And pawed over, Crawled through and only scored [...]
Kitten Don’t Need The Cream No More
I’m a better person than I was yesterday and tomorrow will be the same, well, that’s all I can hope for. My brain fattening like the lentil, otherwise I have to ask - what did it soak for? Yesterday I had all these ideas, these ambitions and plans I was stoked for. Now I’m a [...]
9:30pm 17/03/2021
17/03/21 When I lived in London I would be out all hours of the night. Most of the time, I would leave in the evening and wouldn’t come home until morning or afternoon. I sat in parks with my mates, mostly females and gay men, getting up to whatever we were getting up to. We [...]
