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 [...]
Mother: Fucker/Nature
I wish I told the flowers to shut the fuck up. To stop admiring their own beauty, To stop talking of how others Are so infatuated with them That they want to de-petal their pretty limbs That I spoke louder with my poetry As they sung over with their own hymns That I was too [...]
MD
Mama must’ve missed me today. Muddled in the mews and the maze Of mundanity. Making music With the murmurs of smoke inhalation, Mixing spit with her match made And mindlessly musing through Mate’s make-believe masterpieces Called timeline memoirs. Miserably Making it through work, massaging Her muscles with marred hands From painting murals in the boss’ [...]
My Then Is Not My Now 17/02/21
17/02/21 Between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, I did a lot of stuff that keeps my brain beating itself up over to this day. I used homophobic, racist, ableist and overall offensive words and phrases, trying to be as outrageous as possible for the sake of what I would’ve called, then, “humour”. I would [...]
Fuck You Like a Downward Facing Dog
When lowering, your weight is forward Don’t have to tell me twice Every lean over leads to topple Every topple leads to face first And my nose needs a break, I tell you Downward Spiral, could be Nah It’s a Pretty Hate Machine day My ears rattle My feet tap My heart beats My arms [...]
I Nearly Brought You Flowers
The sun shone then disappeared in the blink of an eye. I turned my head for a moment, and, it was gone. It felt wrong to miss it as it said goodbye but how could I have known it would leave so quickly? Suddenly the sky was dark, I missed the sun but the sun [...]
2021 Ain’t 2020 Darlin 17/01/21
17/01/21 Happy new year! Emphasis on the ‘happy’… Everyone has already said “God, hopefully this one will be better than the last!” Or, for the more pessimistic folk: “this year is already a steaming pile of shit and we’re only a couple weeks in”, and now I have something to say about that. I have [...]
