Summertime - River Soul & Moon Dust (cover)

Life is a Storm

I used to drink Chinese tea 
I had a beautiful teapot and a beautiful cup
My bowl was of hand carved wood
Presented to me by a loving man
My bamboo chop sticks my own
With a bedroll and my monastic comforts
I roamed from place to place
Now it's called Social Networking
And we can roam the waves
Connecting in an instant
To souls on the other side
We can project our best selves
And believe in their best selves
But sometimes I miss the warmth
Of real bodies and real buddies
And I have weathered many storms
I no longer possess the beautiful teapot
I am left with the flotsam and jetsam
Of many years of being tossed 
In the storm
And it is more than enough
With which to fashion a life of Intent

(This one is my own - first one to leap off the pages I have been writing over the course of an erratic life.....!!!)

LIFE......Is a Storm

This one cropped up last year, when there was much media coverage of the plight of refugees, and unbelievably, some who lacked compassion ...... I find it hard to understand - 

ONE OF A KIND

You hold the keys to
PANDORA'S BOX
Within which I placed my soul
So long ago.....
Your courage and your compassion lead you on
Your pain and self-doubt have you hobbled
You are trapped in a centrifuge of time
I am helpless 
You are the only one who can  release that energy
The box will open
All hell will let loose
We will discover we have wings
With which to fly
Across that ocean
And meet face to face
Heart to Heart
This is Leap Year 2016 and
A good place to start

Guttural Rumblings

Ruminations on a Cloud

I listen 
to many sounds
the vibrations
form an aura
a shell
of protection
against
the White Noise
of daily existence
You musicians
are the magicians 
of alchemical
protection
like the wizards of old
you make magic
which shines in the dark
vibrations which snake
moving up my spine
a kundalini - a mark
bless you and
thank you
be free

RUMINATIONS on the Cloud

...and the sign said longhaired freaky people need not apply. 

Establishment Vs Freaks

I don't want your body
I just want Bodisatva
You say you lay
Broken and Bleeding
Once in Bristol town
As a result of which
You feel safer being down
Yes you can row your own canoe
But you could come alongside me
Too, you know 
Row row row your boat
Gently down that stream
Verily! Merrily,
Merrily - Verily!
Life is but a Dream.....

Human Nature (Post Apocalypse)
(Collab with ALPHIO - Test/Sept 2017)

It's Human
Human Nature

We mean to Love forever 
But
Love just ebbs away

We vow to Live forever
But
Life just fades away

It's Human
Human Nature 
Just
Human Nature

We strive for Acceptance
and
We toil for Abundance
But
What is the Cost?
- When your Spirit gets soured
And All Hope is Lost?

It's Human
Human Nature
Just Human
Human Nature

Human is as Human Does
We Laugh, We Cry
Maybe do some Good
And sow some seeds
And the we Die
You ask me Why?

It's Human Nature
Just Human Nature ......


Human Nature (Post Apocalypse) (Collab with ALPHIO - Test/Sept 2017)

GOD = Greatness on Demand

You can really Do It
You really can
You are an Angel
A Seraphim
Not just a (Wo)Man
Try it and See
You are just like Me
A God(ess) in a
(Wo)Man’s Clothing
So much more
than you seem
Greatness on Demand
Is not just a Dream
(Thank God!)

GOD = Greatness on Demand

My Virtual Lover

You are my virtual reality
My spontaneous exchange
And love receptacle 
I know nothing about you
In reality, actually
Do you have a lover, a mother
a brood of children or
A Darkness, Desires and Ambition?
It feels a little
impolite
to ask
after all these years.....

Made Of Stone

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
