Spooky little bookish poet with a love for stoic philosophy and spontaneous prose. Words are a canvas of typos & introspection. Witchy AF. Oh, and I love coffee. 🚫 No flirty DMs, please.
A small crown, a guarded heart,
wheels turning through quiet doubt.
Faith rides on, holding hope asleep,
Moving forward, even now.

Infused with nutty warmth,
Nescafé & other brands available,
Simplicity at sunrise;
Tin open, water boiled
And pour into obliging cup.
Noteworthy for poets since
Time is of the essence.

In the new year snow
Contempt, corruption, calculation.
Everyone bears witness.

What subtle grace,
A wee bit flippant.
Self-aware
And oh so errant.
Friday feral
No care for
Politeness.
Here comes a day
When I will poke you.
Devil may care
I provoke
You.

I thought I lost you
In Password purgatory
Made grey skies not Blue.

Such shocking revelation!

Between two circles
I laugh in borrowed laughter

Beautify, stupify,
Here we go
Super dry.
Pretty, little witty,
Walk-in little fitty.
Tiny talk full force.
Braided like a show horse.
Foils in, foils out
Shaggy, wolfie shake-about.
Maintenance
Day
Complete

Cancer Super Full Moon sinks west at 07:45, a quiet tide of feeling over the U.K. morning.

Oh the feels.

Poem #2026 3.1.26a

A Cancer moon
Super full
Deep in it
You and me.
Timeline hobos
Filling in blanks,
With late night
Wisdom
For the young.
Now we’re old,
Unrequited
Veterans of
An undocumented age.

And so I wander — not lost, only tuned in — letting Manchester make music of my footsteps, turning ramble into rhapsody.

To the self that stays, to the heart that waits, your truth is the anchor. Don't drift with the tides. They need to not only support, but believe 100% you.

Through mist, a lighthouse,
Distant, tall, dependable,
Yet how it guides me
Across treacherous water!
How I’d love to reach the shore.

I’m a poet, not a soldier. I do no harm but I also take no shit. Things need to change for the better.

We walk together, up and down Pleasly Pit at daybreak.
Memories at the back of our minds, but not on past lips.
Harmonious silence; I know your stories far too well.

I say too much,
I say nothing at all.
I say truth, and false and liminal fact.
I say yes, I say no, I say maybe if not at all.
I say my heart beats,
I say my soul weeps,
I say I laugh then cry then sleep.
I say-say, my playmate.

Simple.
Intention poured.
Relevant dreams to come.
Expectations filling my heart.
Drink up.

Lighting up in orange & gold
A story of gratitude’s hold.
Mother made, moon after moon,
Man delivered to our table, a boon.
All together in grace break bread;
Sing community. We are fed.

Sublime.
This empowerment kick.
Insta influencer shtick,
Coming at ya like you don’t know.
But you do,
Within
That wise witch grin,
You got what it takes
For free.
Do the work
and just be.

We went for a coffee
& talked about you
& you & them with you
& you.
And me?
I listened
and watched
You.

Lantern-lit wandering,
Fragrant awakening,
Pushing by murmuring
Strangers down
Steam-kissed forbidden city
Within Cottonpololis.
Silk-woven dreaming
Nail parlour Teahouse
With no happy ending.

Listen within,
Quiet answer.
Truth butterfly
Of what you need.
It’s for your good;
No one else’s.
Comparison
Is just poison
Killing true You.
Universe speaks
When you listen.
