Poetry in mind

My name is Jordan Williams I’m a poet and rapper from Newham, my stage name is AURA-KL (pronounced Oracle).

Love is 20/20

“Bro it’s one of them ones where… I’m just pro single,

I tried the relationship stage,

as a teen mature for my age

But I’m 30 rotations too late and starting to show wrinkles

I’ll never be someone’s baby again.

But my advice is to graduate

as fiancee on Valentine day,

while I find an old flame to rekindle.

Love is 20/20, 

In 2021 I wasn’t ready, life was unsteady

I’m wiser, now, I could settle down 

for a plate of spaghetti

Netflix and a bowl of Ben and Jerry

Pushing a pram and a trolly

looking for rice and confetti…

You get me?”
