In a dark place.
Nick Moore Mar 2016
If you want to know about
the great celestial show?

If you want to know why
Elvis got "All shook up"

All you have to do is
look up

If you don't see it,
be in the know,
the orang glow,
stops the greatest
show

Stars are the cracks
where the light
gets through.

Sprucing up Bruce.
Nick Moore Mar 2016
My friend called Bruce
had a beard
long and loose

If you looked closely,
finding
food there hiding

It didn't bother him,
he was kind and giving,
until a mouse was found there
living

What can I do about this tenant
I have acquired?
this beard I have grown
must be fired

But first find a new house
for my guest
mouse

So I looked closely
into the beard
to find, a small family
had been reared!

With some scissors
Bruce gave a grin,
As I removed the beard
from his chin............... and so the beard got sheared


Outside within a hedge
was an old birds
nest

The beard slotted in
and the family
within

I had a small doubt,
but then
five heads
popped out!

Returning to Bruce,
what was left of his beard
got sluiced

As sharp as a lazar
I used my cut-throat razor

So ends the story of
how I came to
spruce up Bruce.

Always room for improvement
no such thing as utopia
within the darkness there is light

Soul's light bends

One day to the next

some not so good
some are the best
some even feel like a test

one day it transcends,
out of the coil
the souls light bends

Do we know

not me
I haven't a clue

so many idea's
everyday,
what I believe changes

Day by day.

Societies Handy Tool

Everyone is someone’s fool
Societies handy tool

It’s such a shame
Divide and conquer
That same old game

Isn't much difference
Between you and me

Together that’s something new
Together that’s me
And that’s you.

Nick Moore Dec 2014
You can tell me anything
imagine your mouth
to my ear
you don't believe it?
I can hear!

You can tell me anything

From the darkest of dark
to the lightest of light

I will not tell
be certain of this
I will not tell........ unless

If we should meet
remind me of what was said?

I will pretend not to know
what you are talking about.....

To abstain is divine
From the cow
To the swine

The flesh to engorge
Sweat through
The pores...............

You are free to do as you will
Nature will swallow
The bitter pill.

Knowing that
There's nothing
To
Know  

Fertile ground
For seeds to
Grow

Shade to the

Changes the colour

Sensing the senses
What they perceive
Is the world
We believe

Once there was nothing
Then there was something
Thoughts create
Everything.

the mind inside the dream

The truth in the lie,

The Battle
Nick Moore Apr 2014
You walk in like a shadow
Words that flowed so easy
Don't want to be heard
Delicacy
The wings of a bird

Fighting the greatest battle
It should be a sin
Sad news to report
Love
It doesn't always win
Yeah
It should be a sin
Love
It doesn't always win.

The ***** seem quite knowing
to the egg it is going

A good swimmer to go
where it's going!

*****'s overflowing
eggs are escaping

Slipping down the big dipper
the fallopian ride

When the two meet up
fireworks explode

Divide but not conquer
divide but not conquer
divide but not conquer

Time spent in
the growing room,
head for the exit sign

But after all this
I still don't know
where baby's
come
from?

See the world unfolding
In every nook and cranny

See it positively

"But that's only half of it"

See it negatively

"But that's only half of it"

To let all in
Is confusing at first
But there's no going back
To a lesser
World.

Vinyl Old And New
Nick Moore Mar 2014
When I was a teen
Vinyl was the scene
Forget
The tangled up cassette

Then came, scratch free CD
Now the one you cannot see...... MP3

Pulled apart
LP's wonderful art

Dusting down my old turntable
Spin some disks
Hope it's able

Making a warm crackle
The needle clicked into the groove
My ears did approve

So it's final
I'm going back to
Vinyl.

Confront
Nick Moore Mar 2014
When I was little
A voice in my head....................said

“there’s a monster underneath you'r bed”

Not liking the fear that it gave
A part of me was it's slave

I needed to be brave
Look it right in the eye's

It was time for a monster hunt
Not knowing the word confront

Eye’s closed
Stick my head under the bed
Open up after three
There was nothing there to see.

Euphoria
Has a slot
On my emotional roulette wheel
It's easy to forget it's there
But when the ball rolls
Sometimes it falls just right
The feeling
So fleeting
But the memory
Will stay a while.

This man
philosopher, mathematician and astronomer
said "the sun was a star"
but the Roman Inquisition
thought he'd gone to far

Found him guilty of heresy,
but you will never guess
what happened next?

Tongue imprisoned for
what it could say,
his life they would take,
and so poor Bruno was
burned at the stake.

Real Magic
Nick Moore Oct 2013
Once I believed in everything
I was told
Magic was everywhere
It's truth so bold


Then a voice, came one day
Santa clause
Tooth fairy
"That stuff...no way"
What! not true?
My mind
Not knowing what to do!


So what other things ain't true?
Tell me, tell me, all that is true?
"well, all the things that are hollow and dull"
Everything else is pulling the wool


So many a year did I walk the land
Where magic was buried under the sand
Until realising the fool I had been
It was time to shuffle the cards


I was still the fool
Chasing a butterfly
But now I have to grapple
The concept of
Vomiting out the apple

Shake The Speare
Nick Moore Aug 2013
If all the world's a stage
Then Bill and me
are on the same page


So when treading the boards
step softly
don't go crossing swords


give the best performance
From you're soul,
Lift others from their holes,
Put a smile on their face
If things don't work out
Try changing roles

Make it the best play ever written
Try for a good ending
maybe leave someone smitten

When the curtain comes down
And
It's just you on you're own,
there should be no frown
go to you're backstage bedroom
Sleep tight
Under the full moon,
Awake
As the birds sing,
who knows what the day brings.

The ball of wool
got smaller and smaller
as it ran across the rug,
reflected upon the untrained eye
it looked just like a bug

The cat was intrigued,
decided to pounce!
but the ball just carried on dancing
and lost another ounce

Getting quite frantic now
it's dancing got faster and faster,
the needles did their work
the scarf got taller
but the ball just got smaller

Spotlighted by sunlight
due to clement weather,
disappearing!
it had reached the end
of it's tether.

Now I think, I'm finally over you.

Taking in the mountain air

All of a sudden I was filled with panic!
Oh no, for goodness sake!

I rub the place where I had hair!
woodworms taken another rocking chair
woodworms taken a liking to my chair.
Just trying to make you laugh with this one : ))

Moving around each

There could be someone
who could change everything
helping us all to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey


There could be a call
that wakes us from our sleep
helping us all to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey

Everyday I put a moment away
believing this to be true
and as I try to think
through the swirling of the ink
something's surrounding me

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey

There could be a thought
that could change everything
gaining us
strength to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey

If I loose my way
through twisting of the day
colours fading away
I know all's not lost
as I start to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of grey
not just one shade of grey

Drink, drink, drink,
drink it all in
nature is everything!
