Channelling Natalie Wood
This Natalie Wood story is
based upon her reflecting on her life, her tragic love life, the painful trauma
left upon her soul, and ultimately her
death.
A working monologue for project on hold connected to the Great In-Between.
Did I channel Natalie Wood at 3 am?
It quite feels like it is
I’ve watched and waited
And I just can’t keep quiet and sedated
Using this unique channelling technique
When I first started acting at such a young age
I didn't know who the hell I was
I tried to be whoever
Maria
Used to tell me
Wherever you end up or
Go
You can learn later
Stood up for myself and
Said no
And yet it seems
In every movie
That I ever appeared
In
That I was to die
According to the police
Mother and who I thought
Were close friends
And it’s still rather strange how I still feel
In here
At that big screen
Which always rolls
Walking on 34th Street
When I look below at that other big screen
In the Great In-Between
And the other
Some say it’s a form of divine catharsis
All that pain
Moments of self-analysis
Me forever
Almost every girl falls in love with the wrong man
I suppose it’s part of growing up
And yes
You know your name
In everything I still do
Running wild within these visits
Trying to find a west side story
Like Tony
From all the splendours
In all those tall green grasses
In VIP hotel rooms
Seek sex with single girls
And them
They willingly consume
With someone
Those tranquil bouts of emotional insurrections
Then a forced rebellion when they leave
Which we show the world
We hide ourselves to the watchers
Parading such a false love
Robert
Where the darkness multiplies
And grows
I endured in Chateau Marmont
Deep inner fears and invisible tears
But always haunt
Wouldn’t stay
Moment I met the smiling
Snarling
The Spartacus people loved
Mister Who Knows
Dressed in his white coat
And with his foolish
Picture shows
But beneath the surface
By RJ and the watching world
I still smile and play
Empowered with the hope
And these mysterious four winds will
Blow all old those fears away
Where I was once drowned
Two accomplices
A place where light
Lies in the distance
I’ll stay kneeling in front of these
Four candles
Justice will prevail
Scandal
As you age
And all its misleading intent
For it binds you to feelings of
Guilt
Just serving you
Hypnotized to believe your lies
Cries
Been happy
And some may have been magic
Do time and guilt
Even as all my own children get older
Is waiting to judge you
Both
While we all still wait
Something denied to me
Like an untamed gipsy
As we now judge
Somewhere in here
And these old movies never stop
They just go on
On the bottom screen
All the victims of some sort of mortal crime
Or violence
Hidden but always watching
Waiting patiently in silence
Amongst the long shadows
To the corrupted
And their lives are too
Stand before us
To your own salvation
If you don’t show repentance
To a place where their soft cheeks
And my daughters
Natasha and Courtney
Just remember and always think of me

Channeling Caroline Flack
Press play before reading. Salute.
All I've ever wanted
All my short life
From Enfield to
London
Is to feel truly alive
For someone special to just love
Me
From early morning
To way past
Midnight
After a yellow
Sunrise
But like all things
Which shimmer
Like much-coveted
Diamonds or precious
Gold
It's a dream
I still try to hold onto
Even now
In here
The Great In-Between
As I into eternity
Slowly grow old
Where are you
My one and only love
Will you ever find me
Before I finally cross over
To God's golden countries
And swim forever in its purple
And blue Seas
I once had
An emancipated dream
Dreamed I'll be happy
To parade on a
Love Island
For all to see
I was never young
But born
So very old
Filled with so many painful
Self-doubts
I could no longer control
I'm just so glad
I've lived a lifetime
Where happy memories
With my precious Jody
And my beloved family
Will help to extinguish
All those sad
Tabloid stories
If they are still being sold
Or retold
But it's a lost and lonely
Life in here
As I feel
The faint hooves of the
Track Master approaching
He who haunts all things
Which currently slow dances
To life or deaths
Ever spinning wheels
As he sings
I will be courageous
For I'm indomitable
And will face those last
Few years I once lived
And loved
As I watch those memories flow past
With such heavenly grace
And when I see
Our Lord
Which these in here
Call the Almighty
Who I still believe deep inside
Will forgive me
I'll just ask
Looking him straight
In the eyes
Face to face
Where is my
One and only
The one I used to hold on to
Tightly
In Stoke Newington
Who I still dream of when he
Kissed away
All those painful
Tears
I once cried
Wherever I was so
Sad and depressed
Even when the world judged me
And I felt so very lonely
Wondering whatever was going to
Be printed next
Before I go
I just want you to know
Jody Lewis
And all my family
I’ll always love you
And
You will always be my
Forever
One and only
I will always wait
Just look for
Me standing quietly
Within these
Pearly White Alabaster Gates
For regardless of what the world may print or say
We are forever true soulmates

The Cop who haunts me through my Scrying Mirror
(A lone voice whispers)
If I hadn't met you in my old life of solving crimes
In its ever-changing silvery mists
Filled with dark secrets and unknown or expected unwanted emotions
That can suddenly fluctuate between love and yearnings
In intense twelve-hour shifts
Things that can drive a man nuts with all its deep cuts
I never would have understood the genuine price
The goddess of love can bring
To make your old world sing
For Lady Aprodites sweet soul all-consuming kiss
That unforgettable one which makes your heart pulse with crazy feelings
No one can ever predict
I wouldn't have known the intense thrill
Of running like a pair of reckless wild young convicts
Emotionally through all the green fields that suddenly opened up before us
Days and even longer nights
Filled with youthful dreams of rightful victories and short future stories
Overflowing with such epic glories
Daydreams where we'd both be magnificent heroes and against all odds
Always win
For profound hope used to faithfully persist
Racing blindly past all the sad lonely old men and women
Who like me
Took a seat at Loves high table
All the while foolishly knowing the risks
Tragic souls who now sit unsatisfied like me
With life as their only husband or wife
On their white-tiled porches
Or behind white painted windows
Surrounded by falling invisible white feathers from unseen grief-filled kingdoms
I sometimes still see with my supernatural gift
My second sight in the middle of every night
When the visions come calling
Demanding I look beyond the reach of that irregular white lightning
That breaches the dark skies
Invisible to most like wondering ghosts
As it searches for new victims to strike
To bless and anoint them like John the Baptist
To be one of lifes lonely wanderers
Cursed to lay untethered and unripe as soon as it hits
I can still remember though
How we once challenged the almighty Zeus
And all his many faithful other gods
Thinking if this was life
This could only be as good as it gets
Uttered wild oaths of fidelity to discard all spiritual permits
To his secret fraternities and revoked any unspoken unions
Raised hell when the moment needed its energies and courage
To break all spells
But like thieves in the middle of one mournful night
Hunting for things written on their supernatural shopping lists
And tracking and following us like mythical bounty hunters
Time and his cousin, Solomon
Caught up and separated us
Like junkyard dogs
As we slumbered one fateful day
And took you away forever
My life's only lover
But I pray somehow when I transfer into another lifetime
Into the Great In-Between
And when I finally walk through those alabaster gates
Of that version of Heaven
I hope and pray I find that familiar old house
You swore you'd once again build
On the corner of a new Whitechapel
On the left
At that moment if our wishes come to be true
I'll know then we'll be together forever
And when the time comes
To slowly dissolve into the everlasting purple and green hue
Of the endless Continuum
With our last ever shared sweet kiss
Before we transcend
We'll both know deep down inside
We've beaten death at the very end
And I'll smile because I'll be reunited with you again
But until then
Even though fate may have separated and broken our trust
I'll never stop playing lollipop at 3 am
Like Kojak on dark nights
With my Colt 45 Service Revolver
Just waiting for that familiar courageous loud bang
When I find the strength to pull the trigger
Then all I can do is hope and pray
God will reunite and absolve us

Mario Speaks
The reason I still breathe is you
My missing old Italian lover
Lost somewhere away from me in here
Hidden in one of the many blue portals
In this
The Great In-Between
But when this dreamy yellow sunset before me
Cries its last daily breath
As it's truly spent
At the end of this
One of my long rigorous days
Of being stuck climbing over lifes many memories
Which seem covered with so many sharp barb wires
Lost
In a recurring daydream that's all mine
Which causes my heart to beat like an orchestral drum on fire
Hypnotized with a spinning mind filled with whispering
Spellbinding enchanting inspirational words
Pleadings from my Guardian Angels to try to take me higher
To help me put out all those painful old familiar desires
I always think in these quiet moments
In this silver silence about why my unbearable paradigm
This one I currently struggle to walkthrough
Created by the Great Collector of all Divine Revenues
Are we
Me and you
Isobel
My missing love
Simply just two of the many silent prayers
Blowing like tragic lonely snowflakes
Lost in the vastness of Eternal Endless Night Sky
Infinite cries of broken songs carried by invisible soft hands
Upwards
Tantalising sacrifices offered like emotional shining dimes
To the everlasting Light
As they spin like golden Autumn leaves in full flight
Borne aloft in the tempestuous whirlwind
Of Father Times swirling grey dust
Joining the symphonies of millions of hearts
Calling out in unison
In written or spoken rhymes
All screaming for just someone in which to love and trust
Rapturous but maybe beating blue
Does my heart still sing our now forbidden love songs and heartfelt prayers
Loudly like those unbearable screams once uttered
At the Great Battle of Waterloo
You may ponder as your soul wanders
Yet know this as a taste of my lifes sweet kiss
Inside I'll always know
We shared an extraordinary moment of such divine bliss
As long as we quietly live apart or even die
No matter where we both venture or go
For as long as the days are filled with life and the tired Sun still rises
Sending out golden rays to energize
I hope my God-given prayers
Will be answered with my eventual spiritual rescue by my Spirit Guides
And Guardian Angels when they stand before me
Free of all their earthy disguises
And even if all my lifes sunsets have all disappeared and gone and died
And an exotic dark night stalks all the new lands
I might then live within
As those, I leave behind
Stand by my graveside and cry as my soul glides by
When those low drums of Heaven rumble and when my heart no longer burns
As that old piano within my mind begins overflowing with poetic melodies
And loudly sings
If that familiar eerie noise of lost love blows its silvery horns
Once again and that drumbeat of fire that once burnt
Pleads to return
Announcing the arrival of the Dark Man from Depression's many farms
Who one should not mourn
Wearing his fake crown of thorns
I’ll dream this illustrious daydream
I still treasure
Of walking
Hand in hand with you
On yellow beaches at midnight
With the blue waves of the Pacific rolling in
And as we stand looking deeply into each others eyes
With you as my eternally baptised queen
Isobel
Married and living together forever
In a beautiful dream
A safe place I can only pray to dwell within
Where my broken heart can heal as it no longer yells or screams

If Words was a person
(A lone voice whispers)
Will you let me seduce your mind
So I can then claim your body and soul
Forever
No matter your age
Or where you end up or go
Let me bind you
To me eternally
With lascivious dark words
Like the Lady in White
In the Story of O
Till your soul salivates and weeps
And in delicious submissive anticipation
Begs and pleads for more
As its tears flow like wet snow
Let me devour your true inner reflection through your windows to the soul
With wild unconditional written or spoken ravishing excitement
As I wake your higher-self suddenly
From its repetitive mundane mind sleep
Let me take you so damn deep
To strange new apocalyptic wetlands and yellow beaches
Or mystical shores of unexplored crimson heat
And then let my hidden strong fingertips
Trace pagan pictures of intimate unions
Across your succulent exposed minds spine
Mon Cheri
Will you give me all those deep salacious thoughts
You keep chained up
Under strict locks and keys
Forever compartmentalised and confined
In dark well-hidden places
Where nobody can see their faces
For written words dressed up so dramatically like me
Can bring such raw visceral power
And all we from The Hidden Side crave is a fresh virgin mind
A mind willingly to sacrifice everything they once knew
To then be gently or vigorously deflowered
As we use and abuse their imagination
Inviting them to explore new or old undulating orgies of sweaty letters
Filled with naked stripped back verbs
For we help the newly initiated and probably you too
By running our sweet fingers across your cerebral cortex's many pink curves
As we cast a hypnotic spell
For we are the real kings and queens
Of all known empires
Past and present
In mortal or spiritual realms
If you're willing to be dominated and mounted
It's no good running scared
Mon Cheri
Just let us in
For we're everywhere and you my true love
Are surrounded

My Christmas Visitor
Someone called Diana has whispered this tale as I relax.
Is she one of my Christmas visitors tonight?
Tonight's channelling.
(A lone voice whispers)
Sometimes
You've just got to say goodbye to old ways and try to heal raw opened emotional sores
It may feel like you've been through the wars but everybody has their flaws
Some may choose to hide it so well and smile and put on a favourite well-loved mask
And some don't
Some may say strange things in tempestuous moments of heat as they sharpen their claws
And some may say nothing at all but just think it
People are just human after all
Misfits in the grandest of schemes wandering around like lost little children
After they have been given a life's spiritual work permit
But you know
I've already lived five times in 6 hundred years
Lived
Loved and cried so many wet tears
Now I've returned for the seventh
And here's what I know
As I return from a short stint in heaven
Life and all its emotional connections are simply explained in two lines of poetry
Which is written in bold italics in God's eternal archives
Want to know what it is
It's simply
Do the best with your time before you die
and you too might come back for another short while
