33/Genderqueer/London Millennial just trying to get by / Observing, so I write
Wipe your shoes first before coming in And keep them in the hall So if leaving, there won't be footprints No mess left behind at all So if you leave, no trace left on my skin No drama for us to recall.

House Rules
Jack and Jill went up to Lidl To queue for toilet paper Jack got bored and soon he snored Jill's patience was much greater Jill queued on and moved along Until allowed to enter She found a pack and on the way back Kicked Jack with pent-up anger.

Nursery Rhyme #3
Lying on the rare Psychedelic river named Thames, I wept for life. My mother called last Night. She said Thames messes with You, causes cancer. She suffered from renal Failure, after doing the same. That is why I wept. The cool, brown water Washed over me. It rinsed my mind. It tames me from me. Revelation strikes My heart, maybe I should leave And never look back.

Thaming Myself
If I could, I would call upon you and tell you that the reasons why you are beautiful As yellow meets black, turns night We gaze in wonder at the city beneath the heath As amber leaves branches, fall ever near We crunch and repeat with our feet to the beat As cracked hands cup coffee in shelter We nod flick leftover shrapnel to them. As wisened minds, ask us for guidance We bravely seek to give the help they crave. I would remind you that this is why life’s worth living. I will conquer the world for you, my dear.

Hold Tight, London
I am worth that laughter, that comes from within, The kind of *** that’s bruised lips, and tender skin, I maybe the bottom of an empty glass, But I am not the bottom of anything. I will not always be kind, I will be the bark that bites. Sometimes I'm shy, I ask you to have patience to realise May I find the strength to let it pass Never having to apologise.

I remember when We kissed goodbye to dutch courage. After we tasted salt of your ocean blue In the cracks of our tears. Before I snatched visions of our future From the hand you refused to let go.

Dutch Courage
There is always warmth in the house I call home. If you look close enough, there are children running around, wide-eyed, and free. If you look close enough, there’s a glimpse of a boy idolizing his family, sitting in a tree. Someday, I’ll create my own warmth and call it home…
