time has passed, my mind still clouded needing a place to rest.
nights grow deeper as my life isn’t clear.
envisions that fogg my decisions.
spinning sitting my mind won’t shut down
overheated in this place that’s needed.
the anxious arrival of new writings;
freedom of expression waits to be set free.
disappoint.
scattered and shaky,
my life is within my baby blanky.
Doubt fear self confidence isn’t near.
the way i perceive life is a tad different that your extreme ordinar.
wishin and thinking for different things.
just a good happy day.
not worried about my hair
or the clothes i wear.
my mind is filled with abstract thoughts
and memories like joy within candy.
compliments are a hard one to grasp,
they always seem to pass.
no one understands;
i don’t even know where i stand?
lips pucker as i escape from this crazy sucker.
the guidance is here to lift me,
don’t come around to trip me.
i wanna hear your voice,
trapped between happiness
and that seductive kiss.
two girls, one choice.
known you since childhood
and i disappear
landed back in the heat
of a ten year leap.
reunited times expand in rhymes.
20 minutes i feel stuck in a trap just like this rap.
Libra ways, my heart doesn’t wanna stay.
relationship back home.
two faces making different paces.
life is drifting my head is spinning.
yearning to return to my destructive lust;
which isn’t a plus.
not trying to run,
subconsciously i am.
step back and pace it
i’m not ready to face it.
gitters bombard my stomach
in the essence of your presence.
so strange how one can make you feel,
don’t be too quick to jump,
for my landing isn’t sheer.
just because a path is beaten,
doesn’t mean its the road to bliss
thats full of happiness.
this journal is filling as my mind empties;
swirling away the memories of yesterday.
a driven confused girl within,
i’m still not sure how to win.
stuck on this path.
turns into what feels a forty year gap.
the pronounced path always comes in dead beat last.
I’ve got the knowledge and courage
but each corner i turn is fearful splurge
i should be able to distinguish right from wrong
but the taunting trials of tomorrow
come out as sorrow.
i can’t control it;
people tell me i look like my moms and papa
but i sprout a new branch in this so called ‘ranch’.
i’m a girl with a laid back tone
that some guy is trying to bone.
i see you glancing my way;
i’m a mess.
i really know how it feels to be stressed out.
these adult years growin’ from thin air.
i just need time to spare.
i know where im going;
independent, driven, yet im so hidden.
my flaws blossom
taking up my chance to toss them.
hip hop is my time of day
that helps me find my way.
the pen that glides from the ink that slides ;
stress release through this smoking space.
it’s a rhyme that im about to unwind.
cancer sticks make me sick,
quit being a prick and pass that shit.
grab a swisher,
razor blade find that slit in your crave.
grab the weed i don’t want no seeds.
fluffy weed
pass that please.
b blunted this is something else.
takes my mind somewhere else.
today is a gift,
please treasure the beauty it has.
hidden deep within,
struggle for a win
no one is perfect
everyones got their flaws
stressing like which ones the longest straw
the trials of life are a struggle
but don’t be a muggle
live life like its your last,
never knowing what decision could surpass.
be who your gonna be.
this writing is a bit confusing
shit i quit.

Fly
I need to be free
Try
I have no more to give
Cry
I cannot lose any more
See
There is no more in me
We
There is nothing to be found
Sea
The tide is turning now
Why
I need to be found
My
This is not my home
Die
I need to be reborn

See the day
Turn to rain
See it coming
Feel the change
See the birds
End their flight
See them shelter
For the night
See the sun
From darkness shy
See the moon
Light the sky
Feel the chill
An evening shadow
Feel the warmth
A Moonlit glow
Hear the quiet
Of slumber deep
Here the fear
Of awakened sleep
A Sea of stars
And galaxies flow
The rivers of life
Wer'e yet to know
Go stargazing
See it clear
Follow your dreams
Lest they disappear

Darkness touches window panes
And seeps right through the walls
Traveling back from years ago
With secrets it still recalls
Stillness stirs and senses tingle
With fingers along the spine
Imagining its an angel's voice
Or something less divine
Whispered words fill the silence
And within these walls it gathers
Touches and then passes through
Right through these earthly tethers
Turning keys in unlocked doors
A past existence now returns
Bygones can't be bygones
Whilst the past for justice yearns
Searching down the line for years
Looking for the chosen
To overcome their worldly fears
So the holding can be broken
To hear the voices from times passed
And secrets that must release
The tapestry of lies unmasked
So the past can live in peace

Are there spirits are walking abroad?
I went to a temple
They call a retreat
Monks put on robes
And walk in bare feet
I love what they're teaching
And their shaven haired looks
I so want those robes
To attachment I'm hooked

I could of a written 1000 words about your name
and I did, kid, lid.......even wrote a wordy game
I wrote about vowels consonants,and every syllable
though I just wasn't satisfied, cos my words lacked the tangible
So I looked for the meaning of Joseph, ah so apt
and how it captures why I'm so rapt
(and so fittingly left me in raptures).
Henry, home ruler,
a name fit for a king
Fogg of the land
grass and grazing.
I wrote of joe and yer pogo
green eyes and wedge
of intergrity, sincerity and knowledge.
But, I had this niggle, like something I'd forgot
and I opened my eyes today and you came in a shot...
you see to me
you are always 'Joey'
cos to say your name with a hint of beguile
on my lips always leaves a perfect smile.
Its the eeeeee at the end the makes it so
It only happens with Joey, not Joseph nor Joe.
Up to the North
Down to the South
Keep the ships feeding
The big Mersey's mouth
14 big docks
And 19 big stops
Dad's got big hands
He works at the 'Brock'
He's seen Alexandra
And Nelson too
He passes the Princes
On the way to the 'Loo
Jump off at the Sandon
For a bevvy with Joe
Saturday's half day
To the match he will go
The merchants at Toxteth
Are rubbing their hands
There's money in shipping
And at Seaforth Sands
Jump off at Pier Head
If yer wearing a shirt
Stay on till Herculaneum
To get covered in dirt
The EMUs keeping rolling
From morning til night
Our dockers umbrella
What a beautiful sight

Mersey Ferry, Mersey Ferry,
Go across the sea,
Take them a Daffodil,
Take them an Iris,
Tell them I love them
And tell them I care
Return them back safely
And you shall be queens
So, go bring my loved ones
Back home to me

When we are needy
The greedy feed easy
When we just please
We are easy to tease
Seeking approval
Is responsibility removal
Who's approval do I need?
To make the choice to succeed
Feeling displeased
Like feeling dis-ease
It leads to disease
That leads to decease
Seeking to blame
The simplest game
Avoiding a responsibility
For my own possibility
Choosing my emotion
Without the commotion
Didn't choose the inference
But I do own the response
Anger like coal
Burns who it holds
Vengeance a slave
So dig it two graves
No need to accept
No need to reject
No need to adore
No need to abhor
No need to be needy
So, needy no more

I've stood close by your side
Held you tight within my arms
There's this space between us
When loves at hand
I can't get near to you
I've seen our eyes meet
Within a breaths reach
The distance between, so far
Reaching out, sea to stars
And I can't get near to you
I've caressed your tender skin
Two tides within one stream
Entwined in perfect time
Your warmth is flowing through
Yet I can't get near to you
