Redesigning the future
30 January 2024
In prayers
I hear the Goddess
She speaks strong
twin voices
They resonate within soul
path where I belong
My birthright
piles through centuries
gifted skin
now akin
to scales of dragon’s body
harbours golden dawn
Pencil drawn
sketches shades of me
foregone hues
reds and blues
redesigning the future
for heart to nurture
Reading of the poem:
Law of THR3E – Past Lives
Trees of Holy Land
25 January 2024
Summon me
yesterday’s servants
now returned
war merchants
Glassy pupil fakes bleak tears
hypocrite’s arrears
Call with me
on yesterday’s boon
for brethren
gone too soon
The promise based on cross red
heathen blood to shed
Write with me
the will and the want
slanted curves
wrecking nerves
stories for our peers to haunt
lone on quaking knee
Bear with me
burden of anvil
beaten brow
horror show
repeating in opposites
cruelty of misfits
Stand with me
in time’s chronicles
while we sum
fate to come
fledglings harnessing the facts
bygone artefacts
Noah’s ark
built into the bark
treasures rise
for the wise
with the Goddess we demand
Trees of Holy Land

Laura Wright - Jerusalem
Staying in the light
21 January 2024
Witch’s rune
Course on silver moon
Earthen boon
shown too soon
Pied piper blowing new tune
for maiden to swoon
Lesson heed
know flower from weed
Darkness creed
fear to feed
blossoms growing from the seed
self a silken reed
Hold the night
within bosom tight
Bask in sight
lily white
keep your daily helper sprite
staying in the light

Björk : losss
For frost to invite
17-18 January 2024
Winter fell
over my bare arms
chilled unions
meant to quell
It released its extrusions
ornate frills and charms
My heart stilled
time bomb in my bones
The future
that it hones
a small ice age to nurture
frozen times distilled
I jump hoops
within rigid plains
Weather scoops
my remains
I am painted icy white
for frost to invite

Natacha Atlas | Maktub |
Ever uprooted
14 January 2024
Break my back
contour me yellow
Sum me up
Sun me down
Funnel me through the dreamtime
flowing and mellow
Steer me through
madness of the times
where only
my pale rhymes
lift me through the coursing fires
of will that transpires
Ill-suited
midnight owl hooted
Eyes to skies
toes recant
Face and feet on upward slant
Ever uprooted
Reading of the poem:
E M E L - Holm (A Dream) (Official Video)
Rewritten by spars
13 January 2024
Wars are waged
against the other
Relentless
terror raged
Helpless victims not fleeing:
the child and mother
The world skids
unparalleled turns
Spirit takes
what it yearns
for downtrodden mind’s dismay
stays being of clay
I feel night
mining my insides
like acid
eating skin
It feels like giant within
with murderous strides
The blood pours
over my feelings
It oozes
through my pores
my body a map of scars
rewritten by spars
Reading of the poem:
I Didnt Know – Karima Nayt
Bodies relaying
2 January 2024
Strip me bare
of incantations
Let me wear
Heart a shield
My intentions laden field
of heartfelt nations
Count me more
Invisible frame
Hurt to tame
sad and sore
into unclear translations
Interpretations
The battle game
Untrue to proclaim
winner’s lies
Loser’s sighs
heaving in heart battle cries
woman, child they despise
Touch my skin
It reeks of sadness
Infinite
Is my pain
to see, not to stain
Free from the duress
I walk straight
into what I know
Truth to keep
piles on back
trying to cut myself slack
Oh but eyes to weep!
I feel grind
Powerless I see
Oncoming
evil kind
Of the fake they hide behind
bodies relaying
Reading of the poem:
A Million Dreams
All my heart rescinds
27 December 2023
Contralto
my voice in the breeze
where sun rays
heat to please
my shadow in the windows
a display to pose
Slow targets
houses of regrets
they come forth
whirring lone
I have mighty times to hone
in chill of backbone
Memories
blowing with the winds
My chest rakes
piles of hurt
they are scattered with the dirt
All my heart rescinds
Reading of the poem:
Star of the Winds - Irfan
Battlefield afresh
10 December 2023
Into day
the grey mist rises
over feet
bundled neat
The wise accepting defeat
that end comprises
Waters ebb
as the edges flow
into dark
Absent spark
hidden within the bodies
sliding as they freeze
The winds burn
crevices in flesh
dainty lace
fading grace
tattoos of delicate mesh
Battlefield afresh
Reading of the poem:
Her & the Sea - Clann
Screaming out aloud 26 November 2023
Ethereal construct of machine my memories wiped so clean I grapple with loss of real arbitrary seal Man no more nor woman to see images slowly flee areas of me flouted through cables routed Hum through me I remember times when my ghost drummed up rhymes I walked in a saddened crowd Screaming out aloud Reading of the poem:
The Spirit Song - A Nordic Lullaby
