Poems

Thank you for being your wonderful you

Whatever that is, to yourself be true

In the face of fear and uncertainty

It's hard to know your own verdancy

​

You're truly magnificent

Glorious and brilliant

Just as you are

A shining star 

​

Only bigger and brighter

With the strength of a tiger

and the heart of a dragon

All doubts you will flatten

​

So follow your joy and keep good faith

The Universe loves you with all it's Grace

​

​

Zip up your chakras

There's someone at the door

If it's not amazon

Then prepare for war

​

It's usually Howard

On his way home

Wanting a coffee,

an audience, a moan

​

Zip up your chakras

The telephone rings

An 'unknown' caller

Loaded with strings

​

'How are your windows?'

'You've won a prize!'

'What's your password?'

...as they traumatise

​

Zip up your chakras

Don't let them in

Your energy is precious

Conserve it within

​

Unzip you chakras

For those who care

But always discern

With whom you share

​

​

Mirror mirror on the wall

Who's the biggest twat of all?

Is it me? Who blindly lobs

judgey thoughts at all the knobs

​

Or is it them? For falling short

of expectations finely wrought

When moralising in my mind

and smugly searching their faults I find

​

And off we skip, in self-deceit

Twirling to our Ego's beat

Pumping out disharmony

to blaring sounds of 'You vs. Me'

​

And as we waltz this dance of triggers

The gulf between us just gets bigger.

​

But maybe you are just reflecting

Illuminating my projecting.

​

What if outside comes from within?

The light, the dark, everything.

​

Then our meeting becomes a greeting,

a chance to see with clarity,

my persistent resistance

to the shadows inside

from which I hide

​

So thank you friend, you're heaven sent

A gift of Grace for my ascent.

No more black, no more white

no more wrong and no more right.

No more you and no more me

Only us in symmetry.

And together we dance in Unity

​

P.S. Lesson learnt, but I have to admit

With deepest love, you're still a twit!

​

​

There is nowhere to be... but here

There is no when to be... but now

And if your mind starts to tell you otherwise

Then simply ask it 'how?'

​

'How can I not be here?'

'How can it not be now?'

This truth is yours to embrace

If only you allow

​

​

Free yourself from the tick of time

Rush, rush, rush, is our paradigm

Where's my centre? Where's my Soul?

Down a fucking rabbit hole!

​

Too much pressure, not enough thanks

Work my arse off to pay the banks

Gutless wonders draped in gold

and the rest of us in their stranglehold

​

But why? I cry, it's just an illusion

A collusion of delusion

Designed for our confusion

...and despair...

it's just not fair

​

Without balance, there is no peace

And the wheels of grease will never cease

But what does it take to just say no?

To step away from the striving

giving it all to the conniving

when you're barely surviving

​

Just STOP... and breathe, do less or leave

TRUST... and let go, for life will still flow

Only slower, and slower, and slower till

You find yourself, and learn to chill

​

Then nothing can touch you, you're in the zone... armour plated

The centre piece of all you've created

And make no mistake, it's all down to you

So stand in your Power

and say 'Fuck You'

​

​

Yeshua is a hedgehog

He's John Travolta too

Whatever you love doing

Is when he visits you

​

If taking care of nature

Or dancing round the room

Is your joy and passion

He'll be with you very soon

​

So have a little faith

And follow your desires

Make sure they're from your heart

Is all the it requires

​

​

When your Soul says 'hello', it's often disturbing

And comes with a message you may find perturbing...

'I'm here to tell you that you're not really you,

and everything you thought you were just isn't true'

​

'But what do you mean?' says the Ego with dread...

'I know who I am!' to the voice in my head

'You're so full of shit, leave me alone,

I'm NOT giving up on everything I've known'

​

'Then let's play a game of Truth and Dare'

says the Soul to the Ego... 'and see how you fare'

​

'So tell me, truly, who do you think you are?

Your name? your job? your flashy sports car?

Or where in your body is the part you call 'me'?

Your head? your finger? your heart? your knee?'

​

'Don't be so stupid! I'm all of those things'

I YELL, as inside me an alarm bell rings

And I start to see that they're not really me

Just a bunch of stuff called 'personality'

​

I concede I'm not happy, though I've really tried

But nothing makes sense in the world outside

And here in my mind I've got things sorted

Even if I know they're a little distorted

​

'So if that's not me, then how do I find...

...and who am I talking to inside my mind?

I must be nuts, crazy, insane!'

I tell myself as I feel the pain...

​

Oh yes! dear one, you must furlough your pride

And know that you're in for a hell of a ride!

It's bumpy for sure, and you have to let go

But trust that you're MORE, and dive into the flow...

​

Take a leap of faith into the vast unknown

It's scary as hell out of your conform zone

And seeing the truth is no small feat

But have courage brave soul, the victory is sweet

​

​

There is no flow

if you don't let go

Every wave

is a chance to be brave

and embrace the space

of Space, it's Ace!

It's there for the taking

So why are you waiting?

Life is so short, so

laugh till you snort

and have LOTS of fun

with everyone.

And if you really, really want to win

then fuck the odds and go ALL IN

Nothing to spare

last chip and a chair

The Universe is a joker

and we're all playing poker

So whatever you're dealt

Make it heartfelt

​

​

Oh shit!... I've just made a tit of myself

What was I thinking? as I feel myself sinking

into the abyss, as I reminisce

about what I just said, as it came into my head

​

No filters to hide behind when losing your peace of mind

In truth, I was just speaking my truth

Strewth!

​

Why is giving birth to our own self-worth

Such a trial and tribulation?

It's no big deal, yet I make such a meal

of it

and get carried away by frustration!

​

It's fear,, dear... just fear, and let's be clear

It's all of your own creation

Just let it pass without much ado

and you'll come to this realisation

​

Making the choice to express our voice

Is the greatest cause for celebration

So let go of your doubt, it's time to break out

from being a wallflower and

STEP INTO YOUR POWER!

(...and dance and sing and feel like a king..)

​

​

'OH MY GOD! You've joined a Cult'

is often the result,

and the disparity

when we question our 'reality'.

All I'm doing is thinking outside the box

of the orthodox,

 away from the norm,

but it creates a shitstorm

of offended views, so carefully constructed

and dogmatically instructed,

but fragile as glass, if my little ass

can invoke such a crash

and vehement backlash,

for simply asking...

'what do you think?'... over a drink

with a longstanding friend,

who I now seem to offend...

​

'And what the hell's That?

What does it mean?'...

he shockingly screams, at the newly seen

ink on my arm, as it causes him harm!

And up pop his doubts, and I feel his fear,

yet he doesn't want to hear,

let alone query

what he holds to so dearly.

​

'But with love my dear friend,

we ARE allowed

to change are avowed,

and take a peak behind

our mental confines'

​

Besides...

"The unexamined life is not worth living"

​

So you have to be willing...

and curious,

...but you just seem furious

that I'm different now

and happier somehow.

I thought you'd be pleased, instead of aggrieved.

​

So lob that insult and say I've joined a 'cult'!

It's your way of caring

so thank you for sharing.

Now I really must go

and let you go too,

I have an appointment

for another tattoo...!

​

So I bid you farewell and say adieuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Gratitude is an attitude

Which comes from the heart

If it's only a platitude

You may as well fart
