Part one: • Check to see if they are truly broken. (The best technique for this is Listening to the words unspoken) • Check for fractures & loose screws, • Check for a broken heart, a liver bruised. • Check for wet cheeks & tears soaking. • Check for any signs of abuse. (These are [...]

I’ve Been Dreaming of Life
My exhausted limbs sink into the bed sheets As I finally meet the peace of sleep And sneak into my forgotten dreams I don't believe reality is just a scheme To drain me of my energy But nights like this my body screams To find release in rest To escape these thoughts of stress I [...]
20 for 20 17/10/2020
17/10/2020 I turned twenty last week. Stepped into the next stage, next decade of my existence. I have memories of all worths for my life, past scenes of good and bad. My first ten years were pretty standard. I went to school, my parents broke up. I had playground squabbles, listened to shit pop music, [...]
F.I.N.E
My heads done in. I drown in red, I’ve sunk in. I evaluate my life and I’ve flunked in All that matters… But (I tell myself) it’s nothing. I’m scuffling round the issue, So let’s jump in. I’m Fucked-up Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional. Let’s just say I’m fine. Roll another spliff and pour another glass [...]
Tidy Up
I changed my bed sheets when she went home I couldn’t sleep without the smell of her gone I cleaned the flat as soon as she left Like being underwater, coming up for breath I ran a bath once I was on my own Washed off the feel of her, right down to the bone [...]

My Intimacy, My Secrecy
I have these thoughts about you that no one knows about. How I wish you held me to sleep And kissed me passionately on the mouth, on the neck. I feel you wrapped round my waist Like a snake as my vertebrae bend To fit together perfectly and we spend This time in intimacy. Feeling [...]
Lock Down, Lift Up 17/08/2020
17/08/2020 Dear Lyric Deep Readers, This year has been particularly tumultuous for everyone. It has been rife with uncertainty, fear and suppression and I think it’ll be an experience all who have been through it will never forget. As lockdown started I was in India. I had travelled to the country by myself and was [...]
Bindi
A lone star. Like a bindi on the sky’s Third Eye, So small but so striking. She sits over the sea Inviting Lost wanders into her light. The waves, her belly rumbling The fish, her fingers fumbling And how I was wandering, But now I’m in her sight. She washes blue to purple; Bruised and [...]
