Humble your heart

​Today is a good day 
Humble your heart,
In a world full of chaos, gossip and speed
This appears to be people’s need?

Strange that.. does that really help?
I suppose if no one gets harmed,
Yet often triggers erupt and cause that person an alarm.

Slow it down,
This isn’t what’s caused go the mind, 
Go out their and do what works for you, and if you don’t know the answer.. park it…in your brain, 
The answer will return to you eventually when you attain.

Life can be boring
And that’s the place I am at, 
Looking for something that isn’t there!!! 
I rather pray first, God always has an answer which eventually declares.

The Laureate pains

​Don’t worry, the words I am about to say are from the heart, 
The pain is emotional, and at the same time humbling, so this is where I shall start.

Every word 
Every moment which scares, 
The feelings of upset, is when God overrides the fear the devil declares.

You are a child after all, 
The poet flows from feelings endureth inside,
The hope has begun many years ago, when I was a child and very scared
God waiting at the gates ‘don’t worry my child, the gift is always there.’

Don’t worry, the poet feels the hope inside,
The poet says words which are true to the spirit and should never be subside. 

Poet and the pain
Which is a familiar verse, 
I don’t need to be argued with, but I’ll f.ck you off without saying a single word
Today is a blessing my friend, that’s all we are promised through the Father’s verse.

Strength within….

​Sometimes when you think you are losing
A higher power is restored in you; from the point you are about to be choosing, 
So work through the pain
So work through the hope you want to save
And in your heart you are finding solutions to eventually become brave. 

Sometimes you look for weakness from the dark,
There is hope out there, so focus for a brief moment that shall allow you to go forth and embark.

Sometimes life is about breaking the chains
And the key isn’t always there from that moment you despair, 
Pray to God first, as simple as it sounds,  and a long prayer always help
Shouting will release tears, so that will help too
Looking towards a higher power from the place you ensue.

I was f.cked, I wanted to call it a day
Actually I attempted it, I tried to look at ways to say goodbye,
But inside I wanted change, a change so powerful and so true
The answers is when you break, and your answers through your higher power will shortly be due.

Wanting to pick up….

​Time is changing, we are now getting stronger, 
Some people on their sobriety journey will understandably struggle 
But this programme of 12 steps is the way forward, 
That’s my personal view
I know by the grace of God there is a way through.

You may want someone to hold your hand
You may not… not at all, 
I didn’t get the support from my family and friends, 
God found me broken, people around me couldn’t comprehend.

Some people said stupid things, 
I told them: ‘I am being serious don’t f.ck with me’,
I wanted this illness to be rid so I can be set free. 

I needed the rooms, that’s without a doubt,
I would say to anyone in the rooms, ‘stay’ don’t leave,
People will be at hand, you are in a safe space where we look at the similarities, don’t advice and compare
There is always a higher power inside of you, so be open, trust in him and simply be present in that moment… and there.

Slowly.. slowly

London, a pacy and full of speed,
Once you go fast, what happens? Mistakes take place and then there is a need.

Slowly, slowly 
‘Siya, Siya’ what we say in Greek,
The world has an heighten energy so it’s not at all bleak.

Slowly, slowly 
Chill and leave me alone;
I’ll go at my own pace which refutes a ‘very’ British moan.

Slowly, slowly what my yiayia (Nan) would say, 
Why do you worry so much child? Unless God intervenes nothing is going to change!

Rigid people

​Rigid people,
Those who can’t think outside the box, 
Set in their ways and don’t see solutions from all angles,
They are compelled to their solution, but if that doesn’t work.. then they are in a tangle. 

Rigid people are helpful
But they seek politics to prolong a debate, 
They can fu.k off in my opinion, they can’t bring anything to my table… which comes with a wider thought on the plate.

Rigid people, I feel sorry for you,
You are set in stone and won’t be budged, 
Trust me…. I was like that too, I wouldn’t look at other angles to solve
I thought my way was the right way… but the result noticed I dissolved. 

Rigid people, I pray for you today
And if you don’t want my prayer…. Then tough,
I am more flexible thinking as people who think outside the box… know how to make it rough.

A little birdy told me….

​Someone said to me it’s your birthday today
So I know you want me to hold back sending poems,
But on this occasion I decided to ignore, 
I pray for you to have a blessed birthday… and there’s more…..

You are humble
You are delightful, 
You are kind and never mind past stumbles.

You have gifts expressed through contemporary art, 
You have a mind for creatively that comes from your heart. 

Greeting to Kefolonia from Catford that is what I wanted to say,
May God hold you close, as this occasion has its own place where it chooses to stay.

Stay blessed,
Stay loved
And remember their is a cousin and fellow artist here expressing his views,
Happy birthday Elaine… God bless you as this day shall shine its heavenly muse.

“Happy birthday Elaine, have a wonderful day.”
