When I speak to God

​When I speak to God I know will be okay
I don’t focus on politics, or satanic gossip, those words I ignore and won’t obey.

When I speak to God I know he is fighting for you every day
You want to knock that person out, but he says: ‘remain still, I’ll fight for you’
You don’t have to wonder what brought that about 
When God speaks… you don’t need to react or even shout. 

When I speak to God, it’s the best conversation which takes place
Systems are failing us, but God won’t,
The Father’s interactions are necessary so if he says ‘no’, there is a reason why he don’t.

What I am trying to say, it’s all God’s timing
You may not know why that decision is made, 
But when I speak to the Father… there’s no one who can cause unsettlement… during today’s current tirade.

Yiayia… I see your smile

​It’s been a while since I have seen you Yiayia,
Nan to those who don’t speak Greek, 
Almost 32 years since she passed
I know God took her home 
She is inside those who she loved… and for them, you are not alone. 

She was my best friend, 
She was calm and said very little, 
Respectful, accommodating and didn’t brag what she did
Her humility is something lacking today.. and from this day I continue to miss.

Don’t get me wrong, 
The others who give me a headache now I still love, 
But this woman was protective, and is always with me… side to side and up above. 

Yiayia, I remember your qualities
Your kindness, generosity and didn’t argue like these sods do today.,
I wish there were more people like you on this earth… none of this debate, gossip and those things that shouldn’t stay.

“Miss you Yiayia. Xxx Jason your Angel…👼”

People who make you smile😉

​Cherish those who are around, 
For me, it’s those who have passed, reached the submit of heaven
I recall these people, like a child.. even when I was as young as  11. 

So where does the time go?
One minute you are child, young adult and then you waiting on heavens door,
And the ones that have gone before you are no longer here… as you continue to adore. 

And there are the moments you reminisce and that starts the waterworks for that spiritual release,
I pray to God everyday that I meet them soon, but then again I have this time on earth to cease. 

Today, I like to me alone, people calling me asking what I am doing on that day;
I know I am available but I need peace with my thoughts and with God too, for whom I prefer to stay. 

You see, the moral of this poem, embrace the people who encourage and make you laugh
They are not perfect and the time they are on this earth that won’t always last. 

Make you last impression the best one, don’t leave on sour terms
I am speaking from experience, I ostracise myself from certain individuals, from there I shall discern.

“Blessings and honour”

Wonderfully made

​Wonderfully made 
Beautifully formed, 
Is any one of us meant to conform? 

Keep learning 
Try to embrace the challenges faced, 
This world is full of technology, so manage it wisely.. 
Try to treat it without an argument… that energy should be treated lightly.

We are who we are 
No more or no less, 
Keep going, and try to punch above your weight. 
You are no less a person if others think,
The action is a soon as you blink. 

Fight the fight 
Love, learn and do something different each day,
Those who stay stagnant… tell them politely to go away.

Why I do not compare myself to others!

​Why I don’t compare myself to others, 
i am uniquely and definably me, one of a kind, 
Perfectly short, bald with glasses and almost blind🤣.

But I am comfortable being me, 
I do not want to compare myself to a movie star or someone with high cheek bones, 
I am a child of God, and I won’t blame him in front for the mirror which is available to have shown. 

I am me, brilliant, charming and don’t care what others say,
well to a degree, I do, but that’s my gentle vulnerable side showing, 
I can’t be anyone else, as in faith I am always growing.

I am me, I will not nor would. I want to compare
I understand in hope in what God has in-store.. that I am trusting in him… therefore declare.

‘Try not to compare yourself to others’

Dear Peter

​Dear Peter
I know you are looking down at me, 
Pretty sure you would have told me off on my faith journey, 
I know I have fallen short, even though God thought I was worthy.

Dear Peter,
It’s been almost 8 years since you left to seek the Kingdom of heaven,
We thought you were impervious and hard as the coffin nail, 
2018, the 24th November.. I think?
You were here one minute and next minute you were no longer here… in a blink.

Dear Peter
I miss you man,
You were my friend, brother and you prayed for all the people you touched, 
Your smile so infectious and to me and others that meant so much.

I recall the time you had to move a fridge and wanted me to help, ‘
You didn’t need me! You were built like a tank,
As the strength you conjured up… that is God blessing to thank. 

Dear Peter,
I need you to keep me, and others in line, 
You were one of the few I would listen to, a humble and gracious servant of God.. that's what I find?

Dear Peter,
I know you are gazing at myself, Hannah and the rest of your family today
We miss you, but God introduced you to a new home in heaven… anyway.

‘Missing Peter Goddard…. Like we all do’

Chicago meets Burnley…

​Chicago meets Burnley
As on this day and age anything is possible,
The charm of a northern lad
Catches the eye of a beautiful Chicago belle
Now this the story that I am eager to tell.

The story is new, 
The relationship ripe and fresh, 
Communication is key, as these to deserve nothing less. 

Chris is a lad
Banter, swagger and not scared to say it as it is,
Erin a wonderful looking school teacher saw an opportunity she didn’t want to refuse or miss.

So I pray this story between the 2 goes well, 
Staying humble and true to themselves, 
This life is temporary, so these have met at what seems to be at the right time,
May they enjoy each other’s company and continue with this story… that’s already rhymed.

Vampire suckers

​Vampire drainers - All people are capable of this, 
Especially in this parts of town,
‘Vampire suckers’ the ones who need to be released,
You can’t always blame them, there’s something inside they want to tease.

People have the capacity to being kind 
The ‘after life’ is what I am looking forward to seeing one day, 
I know when my time on earth is gone, there is a kingdom in heaven that I eternally stay.

You see, life is a gift
And people take it for granted, 
I am one of those people, 
These poems flow my mind and onto something stable 
This is a gift from God, who shows that I am able. 

I thank God everyday,
He won’t forsake me, but others will, 
You can’t blame them, as they are not the one and only God
The Father who tests us, and open up your light
In the Father there is plenty inside of you in order to fight.

My Mate Matthew

​My mate Matthew 
He is a blessed person, that is what I am able to see, 
He says ‘perhaps’ and ‘maybe’ a lot, that’s the point I want to flee. 

You see his heart is kind
And he says the word ‘humanitarian’ a lot, 
He likes to jazz up events, but it’s because he needs to give life a bit more of a shot. 

Yet, his heart is big, 
You won’t get anyone’s bigger, 
Well you would, Jesus is his name, 
The one who holds us together, especially at times when we feel weak and unexplainably tame. 

He was made by the Father in heaven, 
Despite wanting to be a superstar to sample that moment of fame,
He just needs to do it.. talk is cheap… this is his time to come up with the goods.. and not with his brother Jay!

So Matthew, give it your all, 
You don’t need your mates,
and you don’t need to repeat that they have said, 
you are unique in creation, a wonderful soul.. a blessing in God waiting to have lead.

“My best mate Matthew.. the ‘perhaps’ and ‘maybe’ man….🤣”

Happy birthday.. mum

​Happy birthday Mum, 
These words are written for you, 
I feel your prayers and blessings this instant,
And where I know you love God so much without the need of persistence.

From your time in Jamaica 🇯🇲,
Through your time coming over to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 during challenging times,
You are blessing to God and the people you’ve touched,
and the family you brought up, who love you so much. 

Today is a birthday blessing,
I thank the Lord to gift us for you to be in our lives,
May every blessing and pray touch your heart,
Today is a new day as God’s love is never apart. 

Today is about love
Today is about you,
I know you love your family more and more as faith has held you together,
The spirit of the Father has graced you, just like the Jamaican sunny weather.

There for you…✍🏽☕️🙏🏽

​I may not advise 
I just pray for this beautiful life which for you awaits, 
You are a blessing, remember that,
you are wonderfully created and highly blessed 
You will encounter many fortuitous tests. 

Be kind to you 
As all I shall do is pray for thee Skhi,
The words of Faith will hold inside of you,
Peace will get to a place which you can rely and ensue.

Skhi…people do care, 
Your truth holds strength to the heart, 
You are working towards a better life 
But I suggest we pray together, to arid anything to cause a fight.

So I will pray for you
Or we can pray together?
Let’s stay with God and the thought the omnipresent is always their, 
You are loved Skhi and that love shines all the time,
Remember we are living on this earth, tests are inevitable but seek the hope of the divine.

The Type 1 diabetic and the man in the wheelchair

​At the gym where I am exercising to release the good chemicals inside,
My friend and I, facing daily challenges, what’s your motivation to strive? 

One (me) who is insulin dependant 
The other in a wheelchair, 
Early in the morning they face this most arduous of tests,
‘Let’s do this’ despite the heads fear,
Lift to failure, nothing more to want or nothing  less.. just dare. 

Keep your spirit high
Keep your belief within, 
Not this ‘I use to do that’ 
Comeback, you will reach the goal
There’s inside of you, which needs to show. 

Failure is part of the plan
Avoid apprehensive people, they shall hold you back, 
Today is a blessing but you need to start it NOW! Go back on track.

Space in the rooms

​In the rooms, no one is there to point the finger;
No one to say ‘you shouldn’t do that’, 
The rooms is a protected space for you to open up
No judgement or comparing with one another ,
Fuck that, protect and support each other in this domain 
The words are safe, even if you disagree… as arguments cause a divide
I rather be in this domain, where I no longer need to surmise.

I am here in the room
I give my share, 
I do not want to be argued with, I just want to say what’s in my heart, 
This is my journey after all, I am not asking a question to get a answer
I seek God’s love, that’s my want.. otherwise I go back to being a chancer. 

The rooms are a safe space, 
It’s not a debate for that kind of arena, 
Debate is something that can lose its way.
The chaos of the drug taking, drinking of alcohol has no place in our spirit and our hearts to say..

The trap that got us involved with the drugs and drink 
We were in a place of pandemonium where we were unable to think. 

So today I’ll pray for you.. 
you don’t need to embrace in politics or moments to blow up smoke
Today I am grateful.. yes, that kind of fella or in other words.. bloke.

Keep turning up

​At the gym
You have turned up,
You are here not for comfort but blood, sweat and tears
Those endorphins shall release those intrepid fears. 

You are here 
Do what you can,
Try your best, 
Get in the zone 
I am about to lift heavy weights, in my heart I am not alone. 

It’s a place to excel 
Think about the exercise and the moment to dispel, 
I am not here to chit chat
I am here going for it, that’s where it’s at. 

So thank you for reading
I hope these words inspire, 
If not, do something which you can admire.

Keep going 
That’s the aim of these words, 
Prayer and exercise your stress 
You are worth more… and nothing less.

What works for you….

​Sometimes you need to go to an unknown place,
And see if that system works, 
If does, then great!
I am just saying, ‘playing it safe’ isn’t your friend or what others call a ‘mate’.

take a risk 
You know when the time is right,
Don’t procrastinate, that is the biggest killer, 
Do not compare yourself to others, that’s what the devil wants? Avoid remaining to being a sinner.

You see, we have all sinned 
We have all fallen short, 
There is a blame culture out there, I am not part of it, I rather pray and that’s my default. 

Avoid those who like the politics of life
It’s overwhelming, politicians will do what they want to do, 
You just need to pray to God, find the lane where you suppose to be
Life is so short… so go to your safe space.. and learn, to be with yourself … and learn to be free.

The heat….

​Feeling the heat 
We are not use to it over here, 
People feeling the strain, 
Looking for cooler alternatives, not the heat from the bane. 

Feeling the heat, 
The thermostat of your heart is high, 
Learning to be calm, not to feel overwhelmed, 
The complaints don’t help, they make it worse
I rather stay in my lane… when others can pose a heated curse. 

The heat is strong 
We need light to pick up the mood, 
To stay focused is the plan, 
Pray for calm and splash the water on your face, 
It only takes 20 seconds, complaining has no place. 

The heat, and the fire
The want to feel better with the breeze attached, 
Praying for stillness and praying for peace
This heat won’t last forever
It’s just the here and now we have today…
heat will soon pass, so try focus and don’t allow others to be in charge, 
Therefore, focus on God first… by and large.

Music… for the now..

​I am listening to ‘kisses in the moonlight’ written by George Benson
As I know his words and the voice of his voice brings my mind to a wonderful place
Something only you as an individual can embrace.

Music that lifts your heart soul,
Apart from being with God, where else can you go?

The music lifts, 
The music from artists is a gift, 
As when listening to this song brings me to that place of hope and joy,
That escapism
That perch of words that’s put on a tree
That moment of happiness, which shuns this chaotic world…. Which one day we shall all be set free. 

Music is the life of medicine, especially through songs like this
Possessing that rhythm that you always want to stay, 
I pray for each and every one of you.. as all you are promised is simply today.

Jason - Alcoholic

Dear me…

​Dear me, what do you want today?
Not tomorrow or the day after that, just for today,
As what will make you happy right now?
Music? Love? Hope? Or laughter? I suppose we are all working this out
As we all questioning what the world is all about?

Dear me, I have fallen in love
A place I never thought I reach again, 
I am now overthinking, as apart from God: I now have a best friend.

Dear me, 
I sometimes thing I’ve been such a let down, as others not understanding what and who I am,
That can take you far away from human connection, 
We have all fallen short in this world, as there’s nothing that be seen as perfection.

Dear me, I thank God everyday for his kindness, love and hope 
I know this world still has to be managed as trust is the most difficult place to accept 
As the God we pray to each day, keeps fighting for us to be honest and reflective
As we each look at this world with open perspective.

Dear me,
I am so happy I have today to focus on, 
I don’t care about the weather, just pour cold water over yours and my head,
As I pray for each and every one of you, through the ‘dear me’ words that I have read instead.

A poet…

​Not all people will understand us who write a poetic verse,
We Poets that live in a world that breathes and struggles, 
Some of you are less emotionally intelligent, but that’s not your fault
It’s your gift from God, which you are able to deliver and retort.

This poem will be typed in a minute, because this is what is placed in my heart, 
You see I am sensitive, not to the stage if you touch me I would cry, 
I am of that notion I feel pain, sorrow, laughter and hope and that I wouldn’t want to say goodbye.

But in the end we all have to face God’s door, 
And there’s this notion to what you do on this earth needs to be a little more!

You can adjust your thinking, 
You can be open and listen to what others have to say, 
Do I need to read the news to keep me interested?… no thanks, now be on your way.

I am a Laurente, a person who feels pain all of the time, 
And I am not reverting to my type 1 diabetes when my body doesn’t produce insulin to open the enzyme chamber, 
This leads my emotions to falling into danger.

So pray first, and go for a walk or exercise to disperse the feelings inside
From the moment you wake up, I start by thanking God for three things: 
Gratitude, Surrender and last and not least ‘guidance’,
I thank you for reading these words…. Now go out there in defiance. 

“God bless you”

What will be will be…

​People worry , because they can’t do anything in order to solve. 
I rather pray to my higher power, I can control to an extent but in that area of my life I need to evolve. 

People worry,
And people show concern, 
They are both similar in thinking 
But you need to take action, and despite receiving rejection…
You won’t find in this human life anything to bring yourself perfection.

You can talk to a point, 
‘He has got you’ the higher that is always inside, 
Pray for guidance, surrender and gratitude
In this world we have each other riling at each other, 
Melting points constantly arising, 
Chaos has become people’s friend, to others that’s demonising.

Just focus on the now, 
What you can do right now, 
And if it’s nothing, you haven’t let you or others down
This comes from a joker and prayer warrior… just like me! 
As if I believe me in my own thoughts I won’t at all feel free.

“Take hope for today”

Climbing

​​you never stop climbing 
There’s a goal to reach, 
And when you get to the top 
There is more to climb
A moment of chaos is removed and then there is another mountain to find. 

So keep going 
Find you inside the strength and madness it contains, 
There is success through a lift, you never thought once you are able to sustain. 

 You get physical because that’s what the body demands, 
You don’t appreciate anything until there is a challenge you are aiming to withstand. 

The thought is their to try 
You think why not!? Give it a go
What else would you look towards? God knows your heart and the ability you are able to show.

Jason

God gives and God takes away

Before I believed, ​I questioned God many times before, 
We all have been there, and when we have failed in our own ability, then who do we call upon when we deplore?

He gives us ‘free will’
A choice where we go to him or not, 
Then expect him to be here for us, 
and when most of us think he is a falsity we do look to him to whom we trust.

You see, when God is brought into the discussion, there are 2 camps which people enter into:
The ‘for’s’ And the ‘against’, 
I chose ‘for’ as his son and the spirit always hold me… never forsakens nor shall ever forget.

Love is the victory
Because it comes at a high price cost, 
If you accept someone as your love or care
Remember it’s your heart which is broken, and for which you who is able to share.

Acceptance

​Who are we to ourselves? 
Doesn’t anyone accept the person that they are today?
If so, great, I am so pleased for you.. I shall be on my merry way.

I know the question is often posed, 
A deep question should never cause our minds to go slow, 
It’s that burning discussion, ‘what is right?’ and ‘what is wrong?’, 
And when you say that man’s name who runs the show in America which brings others to fear and danger,
When I see that we have a saviour that died for us 2000 years ago, who was born in a manger. 

I don’t care for politics, 
It’s a debate that wastes oxygen to my soul, 
I am more about laugh and laughter, those attributes can bring out the best in you
Do anyone of us have the answers, as politicians are making it up too.

I have done the number crunching jobs
And I have cared for people, for which I pray someone does the same for me too, 
I know I love God that much…. Who else is going to put up with my shit? It definitely be you!

Jason

Living on life’s terms

​The most difficult thing to accept is people’s look at debate.. so I have decided to live and move on,
Then again, challenges are only appreciated when things eventually do go wrong.

You see, the fight, the progression and the hope to remain still in a chaotic world, 
As all you can do is fight your corner and not enter into debate or awkward discussion, 
Aren’t we artists in our own right? Awaiting to conduct a powerful percussion. 

We need connection, people are scared they are not accepted but what others see, 
You see, you are more valuable than an aesthetic angel who is often a victim of their beauty and not free. 

People are people, So I would suggest do not judge, 
If their come up with opinions that you don’t agree with, then pray for as to be fair they don’t understand that much.

Just love and be kind
I know that sounds so simple, but when I pray I feel it working inside my soul, 
we aren’t going to get on with everyone, be silent in your thoughts and allow the Father inside of us.. to turn up and show.

God speaks to me every day,
And interrupts me when I have bad thought which can lead to harm, 
What are you acheiving? Nothing! As you are not shining just debating to cause alarm
The higher power shall  say ‘that is my child, so do not offend’
I remain still for that moment…judgment depleted and never be your friend.

Jason
24th June 2026

When is enough.. enough?

​We over do it sometimes,
Conversations that have been exhausted and taken to the edge, 
causing a debate.. you know that nonsense?.. which leads to an apology and then a pledge.

You see today is hot and sunny,
Be prepared, try to relax for a second or two,
There are another 23 hours to negotiate, which you need to ensue.

It’s all about balance
Stay focused for that moment when chaos seems to take charge,
People are people, when think about it… by and large.

Politeness, kindness, joy and sometimes there is peace, 
Be kind to thyself, you should expect that in the least. 

Jason

All shall pass

​Sorry for the losses
My prayers are with you today,
Remain still in the presence of your spirit, simply close your eyes and pray. 

Please don’t worry, we are here,
This world shall encounter wins and many a loss, 
And peoples lives are ultimately put at at a cost. 

Calm and simply pray
The best any of us can do, 
There is always tension out there, this is your hope and dreams to pursue. 

Don’t worry friend 
Love shan’t leave, 
Hold onto God, he shall protect and never leave.

What do you achieve when you put yourself down… nothing!

​What do you achieve when putting you or someone down, nothing!
It’s a mistake, 
A joke, 
What do you actually achieve? 
A blind promise, one I am unable to retrieve!

You are worthy to achieve you want, 
People should never look down at anyone, 
I have been there too…
People thinking of my brash exterior, when inside I felt insecure. 
When I looking was looking for the ultimate prize when belief in myself wasn’t held anymore? 

You see the people who overthink, they do have a creative mind, 
There expression is endless 
Why not you? Yes you! The person that matters reading these words
This world is challenging enough, and focus on the other lane to walk down… the one that doesn’t disturb. 

I am me, nothing else can leave my heart, 
I want to grow with Faith and the belief God has in me, 
He has picked me up from the trenches, when I was unable to see.

You see, the journey continues, 
Nobody has let anyone down, 
We just keep trying, what else can we ask?
You are better than you know, 
Now carp dieme… as today you begin to grow.

Set in our ways

​What I have learnt in life is that rigidity prevents, 
Some good habits are there to stay,
Stay humble, now pray and be on your way!

Stay positive 
Seek the light from the dark,
This is your life after all, so seek what you choose in order to embark.

And if you don’t know that just yet,
Stay prayerful, stop, calibrate and go and get.

If you haven’t decided, then allow God to step in,
The pattern of this life is hard to predict at moments, so it’s in your higher power that is able to help you win.

We enter into this on our own 
And we leave the same way, 
All I say by the grace of God, there’s a prayer waiting for you to receive,
All you need to do is humble your heart and believe.

Before I sleep at night

​Before I sleep at night
I say my prayers, and humble my heart before the light, 
So as I seek for hope and pray for family and friends
I know you are a powerful Father who always been there for us, and transcends. 

I pray for forgiveness 
And I pray for surrender, 
I know you are a merciful Father, despite how meek and tender. 

I prayer for guidance 
And I pray for a full nights rest, 
I pray for the night to protect and wake up to zest. 

I pray for people whom I am not fond of, 
I pray for the hope that I receive, 
I pray that today is a blessed day for all, and that negativity in any conversation leaves..

Boring is Good

​Jason I am a Alcoholic, 
I expect people to judge, or perhaps I don’t?
As long I have today to focus on.. then I am at peace on a quiet boat.

I am okay today
And I won’t pick up, 
I have suffered grief and anger
And often blaming others, when I left on a clanger. 

If you don’t understand the words I’ve said, 
then I suggest search it on google, if that makes sense to you instead!

I am here for today only, and I am not aiming to do anything silly
I pray to God that I am still here, trying to punch above my weight, 
I am not into dispute like my yokel Cypriot counterparts.. I leave them to talk to themselves, or have a debate. 

I am here today 
As I thank God I am still here, 
As long I have this moment to write these words
I know nothing else will be able to disturb.

Felix… the divine kitchen team

​I feel part of a family when I meet these guys,
As these words I am about to write shall come as a bit of a surprise?

We work hard and make things light,
Steph, Henry, Lucy (each that are great), this includes Stan Mimi and Will,
They are part of a set up that is ever so surreal. 

And not forgetting Patience and Felix too, 
they are humble people who I am still blessed to have also knew. 

You see, despite the weather, which can be winter, rain, snow and shine,
Each and every one of them are cherished and divine. 

They are a blessing to me personally, people I am pleased to have met, 
This poem is reflective and shall allow each of us to reset.

A happy lead on up cry

​Why do we cry? When we look to hold it in?
Let it out, there’s a spirit that shall protect, 
a friend/colleague made me feel I needed to reset.

It’s good to let out the tears,
Expression is such a British thing, or places that suppress, 
Holding onto a moment to let the tears out 
Is better than focusing or angering from having a shout. 

You see, this moment shall release a new chapter; an ‘epiphany’ they call it today,
Stay balanced through your own understanding as you won’t enter into harms way. 

I’ll encourage a cry
I miss my Dad, and unexpectedly I needed to say goodbye.

I love the tears, 
It’s not a buzz, not those things which makes you go high,
Remember, the acceptance of something painful always comes from a cry.

It’s about you and I = We

​Look at the world 
Look at the stage it’s at, 
It’s about the hope in you and others 
As we think we ‘know it all’
As how many of us failed?. 

It’s about learning about one another 
Struggling through this thing called ‘life’, 
The tapestry of moments, because that’s all it is!
And I am not at all taking the piss?

Here we are, another day wonder what’s in store?
Some have less expectations, some have more.

Just remember life is to live and do that today, a second has already passed
Just find yourself and put yourself to task.

The question is, what do you what?

Whoever is reading this…

​Whoever is reading this, these words are for you, 
You may have fucked up, or didn’t have a clue, 
Been slightly impulsive, or lost the plot, 
These words are communicated with a blessed attached
There is a hope and every else that is matched.

you are reading this, and said ‘what the fuck!’
Going at a million miles per hour not knowing where to turn, 
People in your family that panic and not sure what to do or say, 
May the light brighten the spirit and that the cobwebs go away. 

You are a blessing, never forget that
You may say ‘you don’t know what I have done’
Hey, is a journey, we have been hyped up and wanted tremendous fun. 

This world is exceptionally fast
Look at people and technology go fast,
This is a precious world after all, but you need your higher power to feel
You don’t have to see anything, what’s inside of you is spiritually real.

Today, that’s all you have
Blessing and hopes are the drive for us to see, 
In your belief through the higher power, don’t get drunk or take a drug.. that exuberance shan’t guide
It’s your spiritual pathway is the place you look to confide.

Father’s Day

​Blessings for all men on this very day
You don’t need to be an ‘earth’ Father, you can be a spiritual one, so thank you Father who art in heaven… the one who always stay.

Blessings to men who  miss their Dad’s who are not here today,
I can call upon my loss, but hey, the love for my Dad shall never go away.

He was my friend, 
Someone who knew how to manage me,
We spoke about many things, snooker, those we weren’t fond of, but hey…. that was okay
I miss that old git now… my Dad… as I know in my heart he always remain.

He never suffered fools, 
So don’t pull the wool over his eyes, 
He had a strong temperament and was a bit excitable.. so easy to surprise.

To all the Dad’s, whatever capacity that fall in
I am honoured to have met so many wonderful men, for me? That’s a resounding win.

God’s house

​When we finally reach the Kingdom of heaven;
We don’t have a say who shall enter, those words are with God to seek to pass
All that matters is that we pray for each other… those words needn’t be repeated or shall ever last.

People will hurt you,
That’s the human side of us all, 
In a time of speed and things falling down,
We need to stay focused on the Lord, otherwise we speak to the flesh and that riles us, making us all frown.

The spirit will lift you, that is why we pray,
It’s God decision in the end, I just pray we have access to heaven oneday.

Conversations will loom
Kindness will outshine anger all the time, 
That’s why they say ‘turn the other cheek’ let the Father enter in you, for you to be able to seek the divine. 

I am talking from a place of pain, 
Grieve, addictions, judgement pain, sorry and not forgetting smiles, 
The latter word is the benchmark when we remain in the Father for quite a while. 

We all think we know best, 
Yet, we need to surrender and leave that to God all of the time, 
It’s hard,  I know, but that is the way it is
Remember the Father is the hope we need to lean on… that angle of serenity we should never dismiss.

Grateful 🙏🏽❤️✍🏼

​People surround us everyday,
Some we look at and immediately judge, 
but that’s God’s role.. so pray afar, let the Lord get in touch.

People have capacity to be loving
People also have the capacity to be humble, 
People can also let you down, if you follow that conversational trait, you shall eventually stumble. 

We learn to connect, 
Haven’t we hurt people because our life wasn’t going our way?
People today will receive my poetry for the first or second time, they may regret it! At least a blessing never strays.

Look at this life!
We have done the best that we can!
Others will be cynical and look at your failings, 
Ignore them… you are like a blessed that’s sailing through the night 
Awaiting to prepare love and have a blessing within sight. 

Church today was humbling and ever so profound, 
The days of excitement are behind us, all we need is peace… 
thank your higher power for this opportunity, to simply release.

What a beautiful day

​Pray for the light which has arrived today, 
It’s glistening out there, so much to be lifted from and to encourage
Not forgetting you will be apiritually nourish. 

A pray, a gym workout and then off to church, 
Life has its ups and downs 
But this will be a beautifully blessed day,
Thank you Father for the good and bad times that come our way. 

Be silent in the heat, 
Learn to breathe slowly when the temperature is rising, 
Best to stay focus in your higher power from a stand point there’s no need to be surmising. 

Enjoy the light
Enjoy the people who elevate your need, 
Remember we start from a humble beginnings, a mere mustard seed.

Every meeting I go to…(A.A. Poem)

​Every meeting I go to is like oxygen
A place I won’t be judged, where you look at the similarities and not the differences, 
There’s the first 90 days when people want a new way of life, 
The chairing is amazing and the best place to start ending this madness and strife.

The principles are there, 
They are there to help, 
People suffering in the rooms who are unable to stop, 
Surrendering and withdraw through this madness that often rots. 

The place is safe, it can be the ultimate frontline, 
There is blindness in this addiction, all we want is a new way of life, to call yours and mine.

Today we have a light
A chance to start anew, 
God or whom you see him to be, 
Is your last chance to get out of this gratuitous mess… the higher power shall set you free.

Addict, then there’s life…

​I am me!
Who are you?
I am an addict, with fitness, writing and booze
The latter I am now blessed and have decided to lose.

I am me!
Nothing more, nothing less, 
I have made plenty of errors, and others remind me of my mess. 

So where are those people now?
They are far away from me, 
Yes they are right at that at that moment to express my waning hurt
I confess to my sins, as I too was burnt.

What is an addict?
Someone who takes things to access, 
Their brain acts like that normally, it’s a ‘all or nothing’ for me, which I personally need to confess. 

I train like a lunatic, 
I need the burn for whatever I choose to do, 
I don’t care if I am judged for this.. this my temperament which I shall always able to pursue.

Hello George…

​Hello George
How are you today?
The world is still moving, and you keep asking questions..good for you.. answers need to come your way.

Hello George, I believe this is a special day for you, 
should I say ‘happy birthday’ now, a moment from which we celebrate and imbue.

enjoy this day, it’s yours to celebrate after all, 
You are a wonderful human being, devoted to mum, sister and your brother
You are one of a kind.. yes, this is cliche,… like no other. 

Happy birthday George,
Enjoy this day, stay blessed and remember God is always there,
When you have a moment say your prayers… as this is a moment to share. 

“Happy birthday George…. Have a wonderful day.”

At this precise time.. I had to write

​There was this song playing 
I stopped, tears left my eye, 
This was reflective years that needed to say goodbye.

I don’t know where these words shall lead, 
I know (like you), I have feelings, cut, bruise and also bleed. 

I know I haven’t been there for everyone, 
Is that possible? I don’t think it is, 
You try your best… and pray… avoiding to dismiss. 

Sometimes we just need to cry and let it out, 
It’s about the journey you are on, 
Don’t always listen to others… this is your journey from which you belong. 

This took me a minute to write, 
The higher power spoke to me so clearly, 
I know these words are for you, if you complete reading the words that I write
There is hope… and for you.. there is tremendous amount of light…

I talk to the mirror

​When all appears lost, what do you do?
I would talk to the mirror, and seek any glaring clues.

I try not to know it all
I try to humble myself down, 
I know my super-ego got the better of me, do I know better? I just say I have had experience… and through those moments I often drown. 

I am a stranger in these current settings
I walk away and say nothing else, 
I have been support by services and independent domain,
I go to A.A. Meetings to look at the ‘similarities’ not the ‘differences’, which my memory is able to retain. 

I know I have messed up, 
I have done the steps but I try hard to keep going without surrender, 
I know in the kingdom of my higher power, that I enter in frail and slightly tender.

Nothing is perfect

​Embrace your imperfection, and it’s only appreciated when you fall time and time again,
The last time is when you seek for help higher than you,
There is a passage we all look to ensue.

I often laugh, turning dark humour into light,
Really my humour come from tragedy which I have faced, 
I appear to overcome with a mask wanting to enter into another place. 

You see people are who they are, 
What works for one may not for the other, 
You see I do care, but can I take the pain away?
The answer is not really, but I can be your friend just for today.

Today is all we have, I have said that time and time again, 
We have all done garish things thought the pattern we are unable to defend. 

People will support 
And family sometimes help or won’t at all, 
I have faced the latter, and believe me after my Dad died I was waiting to fall. 

We are learning everyday
We are trying to be the best version we can be, 
I won’t compare myself with anyone, I don’t care how great their life looks like, this mental health journey strangles and isn’t at all free.

So stay blessed, 
Look towards your higher power for support, 
And remember that this life is only temporary so fight to the end and avoid your mind to be fraught.

There is a way…

​You wondered how you got there in the first place,
Tracking your steps and went arse over face. 

But you are here, just for today,
Not sure where to turn at times as time always go away. 

Starting a new life
Trying to smile and look ahead,
You only have today my friend, these are the words I believe, written and will have read.

The time is here 
The present time where you are at, 
Hold onto this time and see what you will or shall progress to,
This is a prayerful moment, one for you and I to ensue.

There is a place to go in your heart….

​There is hope
You can’t see, or touch it
Perhaps at time you can’t feel it
Yet you find your inner sanctum that is lite.

Be kind 
Be loved
Be looking for hope in you and others, 
It’s not about ‘I’, it’s about ‘we’
Do not compare or feign to the cause
You are here to excel… not pause.

There is a positive from a negative
You may not see it yet, 
You have the potential to find a way through, 
And yes, you have tried, so much that you have rawness in your soul
But there is this thing ‘brush yourself down, and start again, 
There is a story awaiting fo you my humble friend.

There is love 
And love wins every time, 
Those who think anger is part of the story, 
It’s only the higher power that’s above you is allowed to release that side.. hence that part no longer needs to be haughty.

Surround yourself with love…

​There is a higher power
A higher power that loves you more than you ever come to understand, 
There is a beckon of hope in everyone… from a place I once trembled.. but now I can live in hope in the place I stand. 

I am here today,
What else can I ask?
I want my time with the Father in heaven, 
The one who never ever foresakes my feeling, 
Often I have faced consequences (like us), at a time I am reeling.

Keep away from s#it stirrers, 
Or give it to them right back!
I am quick of the mark with those conversations 
But I rather pray and discern, that quality I never want to retract. 

Today is a good day
Today I put myself around people I wanted to be around, 
Those who are negative, I suggest pray ‘afar’ and therefore distance yourself…. That’s the heavenly protection which I have found.

Night time prayer

​Dear Father thank you, as this day draws to a close 
I thank you for the challenges I encountered as through your son who died to us, I am able to remain composed.

Lord thank you for my friends, mum, dad, family and friends,
This world has your protection, from which I look upon and depend.

Lord thank you for the people that I have met,
And even those who rile me, those people I shall pray afar 
and acknowledge who they are.

Thank you for this sleep I am about to take,
May the protection guide me to see the next day,
As with your night protection I know I shall be okay.

“For my brother Chris.. bless you brother ”

Embrace

​It’s time to splash water on your face and see the light, 
Caught in a spreadsheet or a report to do, 
It’s your heart that you need your spirit to pursue! 

I’ve been there 
Deadlines, pressure and human demand, 
Wanting others to like us, you reach a stage when it matters no more,
Pray afar, there’s is a blessing there to hold onto the shore. 

Stay focused 
Stay humbled with the light,
Let others loudness take place, that’s none of your concern,
There are always moments when you are required to discern.

Look to the heavens 
Look to the stars that you shall see, 
A blessing grounds you to remain still and do nothing,
As in your higher power … you have plenty to bring.

The fighter in you

​peace and joy
That’s what we look to aim and strive;
Most of  are chaos, in a place wanting to become alive. 

I repeat, some of us are chaos
Nothing wrong with that… to a point,
It’s the higher power arriving to receive a blessed anoint. 

This is a blessing
A will to keep carrying on,
This life to seek hope and contentment,
Not this aim for resounding resentment!

You fight 
That is the ‘free will’ to gain, 
Pray like a warrior, words you shan’t refrain. 

Remember, this is love
And this is guidance for the day which lays ahead,
I pray for guidance for each and everyone of you 
God is omnipresent, and available to ensue.

Morning poem prayer (Prayer for Chris)

​Dear Lord
Thank you for this day
I surrender to you, as I know in my own I am able to stray,
I pray for love 
And I pray for guidance to be nice
I pray for a blessing and that I am able in all situations to always suffice. 

Dear Lord, 
I pray for this time that I spend with others, 
They are a blessing for me.. those of my sisters and brothers. 

I pray for learning
Guide me to what you want me to learn, 
I am able to stay still for a moment… and possess from that moment to discern.

I pray for surrender 
And and I pray for the light
I know you are in charge, and able to protect any spiritual fight. 

I pray for my protection, and living on my own too, 
This is a blessing passed on from a friend..one I can truly understand through you. 

“For my brother and friend Chris…..”
Jason.
