## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS

I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

The poem is a meditation on how memory survives in the senses, returning in fragments through touch, scent, sight, sound, and taste until old wounds can be recognised, understood, and finally released.

Time loops in waters
Relentless moment’s pursuit
Stillness in shadows

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Time loops in waters resorbing
Body’s particles absorbing
the relentless moment’s pursuit
Stillness in shadows that ensued

[Verse]
Joints crack in aching belonging
Surface of the Truths still lurking
Lost in specks of sand like embers
golden trails your face remembers

[Verse]
Within the sparks streaks spiralling
From hand’s touch eyelids fluttering
What did you say your name was then?
I’ve known you somewhere I reckon

[Verse]
Eye withered from thoughts now ablaze
Braced them high amnesia’s bouquets
within nostrils slow invading
Fragrant memories cascading

[Verse]
Nose puckering up redrafting
the familiar scents spent crafting
scented pictures of me framed tight
in translucent corners to light

[Chorus]
The fluttering lids slow absolve
Riddle from yesteryear to solve
What did you say your name was then?
Let’s forget hurt, begin again

[Verse]
Ears glistening lobes in retention
Shivering from recognition
Stories from my Heart to foretell
when touch of nape and ear would quell

[Verse]
Fate lent me eyesight from ravens
I coughed up dark ink from havens
Stark memories of morrows lay
Icy beginnings to display

[Verse]
The sight of hopeful Times seething
Protracted, painful the teething
I chewed again hurt that travels
Hidden glass within the morsels

[Verse]
Of taste and of sheens within pain
Driveway to deserts soaked in rain
Actors playing a million parts
Screenings in sunrise that slow smarts

[Chorus]
The fluttering lids slow absolve
Riddle from yesteryear to solve
What did you say your name was then?
Let’s forget hurt, begin again

I transformed this original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for an AI-generated song using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the AI-generated musical version.

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

This poem reflects upon the enduring imprint of memory, trauma and emotional inheritance upon the human mind and soul. Through symbolic imagery rooted in nature and psychological transformation, it explores how emotional wounds may become etched into the self, shaping perception, identity and resilience across time. Beneath its darker atmosphere, the poem ultimately gestures toward forgiveness as a transformative process through which pain may be absorbed and reworked, allowing the emergence of a deeper and more enduring sense of self while facilitating spiritual reintegration through conscious reflection.

Shadows flee
Across wilderness
Icy fires
Light their frames
Bearing weight of twisted games
They run in sleek pairs

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Shadows flee across wilderness
Slow they break down the tenderness
Icy fires will light their frames
bearing weight of their twisted games
They run in sleek pairs to collect
disturbed memories to recollect

[Verse]
In between there stands rubber tree
Its heavy bark runs wild and free
with the blue blood of forgiveness
Token of freedom to harness
I walk upon my distant grave
seeking hard the meaning I crave

[Verse]
Every step twirling on itself
creates a tidal wave to shelve
a walk that paves inner resolve
to forget yet never to solve
Absolution washing up score
A step’s twist on the bare soul shore

[Chorus]
Memory lane, etched in stem cells
They run deep within the dark wells
The swirling voids keep progressing
The inner voices suppressing
power of black holes that absorb
what the broken mind must resorb

[Verse]
I stand lone, on brink of kingdoms
Inner parts fight outer fiefdoms
They screech loud past the present times
the future of retreating crimes
My staff pierces doors to enter
I keep in mind renewed centre

[Verse]
Focused points towards the ripples
Thoughts anoint, call out to temples
A web of dots linked, Giants’ leak
carefully hushed, the children speak
We replicate once more doom’s days
with carelessness our written ways

[Chorus]
Memory lane, etched in stem cells
They run deep within the dark wells
The swirling voids keep progressing
The inner voices suppressing
power of black holes that absorb
what the broken mind must resorb

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

In awe of relentless faith
Of sunflower’s quest
To light the soul always turns
Though the mind explores all hues

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
The daffodil weeps as wraith
in awe of relentless faith
of quest of sunflower that yearns
To light the soul always turns
Though the mind explores all hues
the heart always pays its dues

[Verse]
A mirage shudders downcast
reflecting shadows of past
Alive and yet dead christened
haunting memories glisten
In skeletal white grimness
the mind imbibes in sadness

[Verse]
A mocking bird laughs in chive
its shrill amusement alive
with petals of mirth that grin
as irony brims within
Chest locks in fun’s crescendo
voice heaving in contralto

[Verse]
Uneven sighs play quivers
upon the grass that shivers
Under pale dawn’s kiss rewinds
a memory in two minds
Of similar pallor sways
a face that knew better days

[Chorus]
Robin bursts in song to mark
the happiness of skylark
treasures in its throat so full
Abundance grows plentiful
where light shines through to capture
the sight of souls in rapture

[Verse]
Cool dawn murmurs chills on Thames
extinguishing the bright flames
of your wonderful powers
Listen through your darkest hours
to the silence in your heart
it knows the way to bright start

[Verse]
Jasmine fills the air adrift
with glorious scent of mist
filling my nostrils like fog
Nostalgia is like such bog
cloaking mind in bittersweet
the sadness set on repeat

[Verse]
Pale blue haze glows in darkness
hovering through the starkness
To cast light in soul’s detours
in rapture I shape contours
of sweet long-forgotten face
preserved in ice covered lace

[Chorus]
Robin bursts in song to mark
the happiness of skylark
treasures in its throat so full
Abundance grows plentiful
where light shines through to capture
the sight of souls in rapture

[Verse]
I walk in yonder valleys of shadow and doubt
I never really knew what life was all about
though my lips I puckered, have learnt to purse and pout
and sing unrestrained to the tune of Schubert’s Trout

[Chorus]
I walk through endless morrows split in half
with broken memories my only staff
I walk in a grey lonesome shadowland
leaving no footprints on the moving sand

[Verse]
For I now embark lonesome on life’s last ferry
Looking I know, all around, within, seems dreary
I force laugh, conjuring up moments so merry
Face freezes, I realize my heart’s too weary

[Chorus]
I walk through endless morrows split in half
with broken memories my only staff
I walk in a grey lonesome shadowland
leaving no footprints on the moving sand

[Verse]
Through fading and withered faces I walk alone
through the shadows and the pleasures that once had shone
Bright light, right unto my eyes, brought my lips a moan
Alas, it is all gone now, is my heart of stone?

[Chorus]
I walk through endless morrows split in half
with broken memories my only staff
I walk in a grey lonesome shadowland
leaving no footprints on the moving sand

[Verse]
I walk and I walk, I walk an endless journey
Through unrelenting ashen faces once creamy
Towards a dull future for which I hold no key
Sluggish and haggard steps mistaken for dreamy

[Chorus]
I walk through endless morrows split in half
with broken memories my only staff
I walk in a grey lonesome shadowland
leaving no footprints on the moving sand

Acknowledged mission

My skin’s fur
rises at its touch
The panic
starts to stir
I know not what became her
Fusion erratic

Metallic
voice gains momentum
my heart beats
like a drum
the dark steely voice repeats
a note so tragic

The steel rods
I feel them begin
wayward touch
Gentle prods
piercing my delicate skin
they fold down and clutch

Progress stalls
soul other recalls
Brightened flare
my eyes blinds
My heart memories rewinds
before lightning glare

Body melts
Her carcass slow welds
flesh and steel
as I kneel
Knee on Earth not submission
acknowledged mission

We are one
Painted veils fly blue
Red remains
colour due
A spell to replicate sun
from the purple stains

You breathed me
a touch of sulphur
weaving through
Pervading
flames of a thousand dragons
senses confusing

Diffusing
my vein opens bright
shining thread
pulse they dread
through the burning light it sheds
as dark, soft it weds

I stir thoughts
Regrets woven through
actions stalled
moves recalled
hounding measures of closures
acid composures

Yesterday
I conquered kingdoms
My breath lit
jawlines’ grit
shores forsaking redemption
fire-bred assumption

I drew you
within my shadows
Tall erect
lines inflect
the courses of your lifetimes
through my soaring rhymes

We bore weight
of lessons to learn
praise to earn
memoirs churn
Alternating consciousness
wiping out distress

I cry hard
inconsolable
Memories
of burnt trees
spin webs across my eyelids
Outer world just skids

I remain
within two states held
A prison
unveils me
On my limbs lie tools that weld
heart and mind’s union

I tread slow
across dreams that beat
arrhythmic
to my feet
drunken dancing to repeat
the despair hollow

Tomorrow
I will resume fight
crouching slight
bearing light
Darkness no longer bears fright
I shine through the night

Spirits high
I walk before Gods
Like infant
they feed me
irreducible hopes stretched
thin before my eye

Paper flies
tracing higher spheres
my mind hears
lullabies
Angel singing fears denies
piercing through the skies

Once more into the fray…

Once more into the fray...
8 February 2025
Courtesy freepik.com


I move quite regularly and can almost say that moving has become a habit, a treasured activity that forces me to reinvent myself while I reinvent my surroundings and ensure that either I adapt to them or they bear with me as I coax them into more habitable spaces that yield the kind of experience I wish. Every time I move, I unravel a trove of memories that come back to me like a storm or like a calm summer wind, depending upon how they were made and what they were made of. Some memories transcend the place and time they were born into and stay rooted like a hundred year-old olive tree. Their traces are like its shimmering leaves, spreading the feelings they once gave rise to within our bosoms and etching their particular aroma within our hungry nostrils as their intricacies play within our minds.

I sometimes feel like the olive tree itself, my memories shimmering within me and shedding light onto the pathways they forged within my mind. I am a tree of memories, the good and the bad, all laid out for my inner eye to see and my guts to experience all over again. I carry them sometimes into the open so I may pour all over them again my keen mind, eager to make sense of what could sometimes be senseless or to feel again what I had suppressed before for fear of not being able to overcome the deep foreboding that overcame me at that time. I am like a tree, yet unlike a tree I am unable to root myself into any ground. It seems like my gypsy spirit always wants to soar above the ground and visit yet another distant land, another unexplored part of the world. I sometimes wish I were an astronaut, able to roam the Universe rather than just the Earth.

I wonder if it is the fact that I come from a multicultural, multiracial background that makes me unable to take root anywhere. I feel no kinship to any of the countries I was born in or originated from by way of my lineage. More than a citizen of the world, I feel like a citizen of nothing, just a mass of energy floating here and there, never settling anywhere more than 6 years at a time in general. The longest I ever lived somewhere was in Dubai at Al Thanya Street where I remained for 8 years from 2010 until early 2018. For some reason, if it is not I who want to move, circumstances push me to make a move for somewhere else to stay in and I have never been able to stay in one place for 10 years or so. Every time I think I have found the place I want to stay in, I am out of there before the usual 6 year chime. It is as if I were a home Cinderella where the home would become a pumpkin at the end of the 6th year and my slippers would turn into bristles, causing me to strip them off and get going. So once more into the fray, this was again my moving day…

Disturbed - Hold on to Memories

Their bodies were robbed of free will

Their bodies were robbed of free will
8 January 2025

Lily white scattered memories
played in my head wooden stories
contours so light for soul to tease
when why what, questions still burning

Inner turmoil kaleidoscope
like a drowning man thrown a rope
writings on the wall help me cope
whispers of thoughts rise to wake me

I start remembering the scene
The acting of it so obscene
replacement actors never seen
outer shell same, inner alien

Prior mindfulness in tatters
parasite that itself flatters
believing it is what matters
occupying a grudging host

A life stretched for mind to ensnare
to forget toil, to forget care
heart bereft, consciousness aware
something was lurking in shadows

Like ragdolls they were forced to act
unable to scream or react
the bond was like an imposed pact
their bodies were robbed of free will

Within Temptation - Memories

We hold hands

in memoriam

A time spent

within heart

An era that love demands

never to depart



The ship sails

its masts setting course

Teetering

heart on brim

I hold onto direction

that my compass fails



The wind blows

on our memories

I skim slow

unleashed flow

I search for the trace of love

gifted from above



Fluttering

my eyes miss deltas

that describe

what it was

a pillar of salt forming

where trust lacked resolve



Tomorrow

knocks hard at my door

Like a show

of puppets

it pulses and carries strings

faint rememberings



Forgotten

the days are silent

Trails we made

lost their shade

The sea washed over our names

for nights to repent
