Nick Moore Feb 2013

Austere, everywhere!
only me for
that I care.

In my dream, two apples
fall from a tree,
roll down the hill
next to me.

There I lay
in foetal bliss
behold she comes to me
the Goddess.

Wrote this one after reading an article about oral personalities and **** personalities.

Disappointed.

Nick Moore Feb 2013

Disappointed.

Disappointed, with the food you choose to eat.
Disappointed with the dark shadows on the street.
Disappointed with what’s on Tv.
Disappointed with what you call reality.
Disappointed we let things slip so far.
Disappointed with a bandage called a car.
Disappointed with the mobile in your hand.
Disappointed I cannot see the band.

knitting

Nick Moore May 2013

knitting

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.

Dating.

I love
that you
love

The things

love

Even if I don't

Could you do the same for me?

If yes

What great lovers
we
could
be....

Zen Cow

The Zen Cow
"what's wrong with right now?"

I had it, now I lost it!
the big Joke
a fish looking for water!
the masters stick
gave me a poke.

Old Rocking Chair

Nick Moore Apr 2013

Old Rocking Chair

I was sitting in my old rocking chair
Taking in the mountain air

All of a sudden I was filled with panic!
Oh no, for goodness sake!
not another earthquake!

But then these words I do declare
woodworms taken a liking to my chair
woodworms taken a liking to my chair

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 : ))

What no words can say.

Nick Moore Feb 2012

What no words can say.

What did I Glimpse in the woods
that day?
Amongst the bracken and bluebells that sway.

Something wonderful is all I can say,
thinking about it, as I
pass this way.

Pragmatic In The Attic

Chaos my friend
there’s only one way to be
To make these eyes see.

Pragmatic in the attic,
a calmness and clarity
it’s the only way to be
pragmatic in the attic
To make these eyes see.

Strangers.

We
were
strangers
for far to long,

We
had ears
for the same song,

We
weren't sure
what was right,
but we knew what was wrong,

Good to know a place
to belong.

Momentum.

The Kaleidoscope has been shaken,

Time to make a new start
that's not haunted by the past.

Indeterminate Time And Place.

Nick Moore Dec 2011

Indeterminate Time And Place.

Home made zombie voodoo whistles past
Wicked pastiche
Betrayed and murdered
Sitting on beer crates
She admits how Unsalvageably evil she is
Sparkled in the moonlight
Fires were not uncommon
raise a quizzical eyebrow
Remove my coat
Sniffing language
Orange silver glow
Murky waters
Slime and filth.

Vinyl Old And New

Nick Moore Mar 2014

Vinyl Old And New

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.

Slumbering

Nick Moore Mar 2014

Slumbering

A vision of the land I see
Where trees stand tall and true,
Bluebells spread and grew,
Birds on branches nesting
warm winds take them on the wing
Any ear would hear them sing

Waking

Will my dream come to pass?

You're own story

Making up

A lonely path

But the best
one to take,
despite
the homesick blues.

The Tyranny Of The Dull Mind.

The tyranny of the dull mind.
All’s lost

Labyrinth World.

Nick Moore Apr 2013

Labyrinth World.

Wondering around
formless and free,
compelling curiosity
to find out
what
could
be?

Constructing
alpha, omega
labyrinth
was seen to be
good

Entering the
construct, what
great fun to be had

Moving around each
twist, corner and turn,
celestial navigation
was learned

Dispersing,
fragmenting,
self awareness
was lost,
leaving clues
at each
twist, corner and turn.

The Red sparrow.

One day a time will come
my eye's search, tentative and narrow.

The light

I hope to be

Memory Of A Closeness

Memory Of A Closeness

Time for some heals
But this
Memory of a closeness
Remains

Is it the same for you?
we never mention it

Maybe it should be left alone?
to always be a
Memory of a closeness.

Euphoria

Nick Moore Jan 2014

Euphoria

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.

Confront.

Nick Moore Apr 2013

Confront.

When I was little
a voice in my head
said

“there’s a monster underneath the bed”

Not liking the fear that he gave
a part of me was his slave

I needed to be brave
Look him in the eye

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

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

This is an old one I just tweaked a little, I like it because it's my first memory of facing up to fear.

Wild Rosaleen.

Wild as the sea hag
leaping across ****** bay
Rosaleen
a vision of you
on this day

Wild Rosaleen
fear and love
in your face
can be seen

The world is wasting
for the lack of you,
Dark Rosaleen

Wild Rosaleen
tears of sadness
in your eyes
can be seen

Bring back the Dark Rosaleen
back from the minds
numbed by the machine

Wild Rosaleen
seaweed and grass
in your hair
can be seen.

There's guardians at the edge of

Tel-a-vision

You seek to depress us,
I know no reason why?
Most of what you say is a lie

Looking through your windows
So many there to choose
I get the feeling, everyone we loose

You can be so seductive
I've had a fling or two
Now I think, I'm finally over you.

It may only be a flower

Giordano Bruno 1548 – 1600

Nick Moore Nov 2013

Giordano Bruno 1548 – 1600

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.

Defensive

There are certain things
to which I will always be
sat upon the fence

My favourite sunset

as my de-fence

First one in a while, hope there are more to come.

Corridor's.

Down the corridor
Through the door.

Infinite corridors
Wall to wall doors.

Choose a door
Go inside.

Become comfortable.

Forget the door.

Frozen water
Ice melts.

Remember the door
Remember the corridor.

I still don't know where baby's come from?

Nick Moore Apr 2014

I still don't know where baby's come from?

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?

Seem like some

Dream Driller.

Nick Moore Mar 2013

Dream Driller.

Fragments of a trapdoor world
A mystery bird
The song he sings of the absurd

My dream driller
Reality killer
Made of smoke and mirror

Corridors with endless doors
Each door hides something new
A secret or two

My dream driller
Reality killer
Made of smoke and mirror

A kiss from the abyss
I'm awake, mind twisting like a snake
Please remember all of this
But only fragments remain
Always the same

My dream driller
Reality killer
made of smoke and mirror

Goodbye George.

Nick Moore Feb 2013

Goodbye George.

Time went so fast.
I turned around and you were passed.
Without you I wouldn’t have the fight.
Now I have the inner light.

I never met you.
What can I say.
Still think of you every day.

In the darkness of your room.
Banishing all the gloom.
Now there is a light.
You soul has taken flight.

The Sea Of Ideas

Knowing that
There's nothing
To
Know

Fertile ground
For seeds to
Grow

Adding different
Shade to the
Paint ***

Changes the colour
Quite a lot

Sensing the senses
What they perceive
Is the world
We believe

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

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.

The thought inside the mind,

the you inside the world

The inner space to the outer space,
the outer space to the inner space

The dream inside the mind,
the mind inside the dream

The truth in the lie,
The lie in the truth.

Golden age.

It's always darkest just before dawn,
So my love,
Don't feel forlorn.

From within the cocoon,
Break open the door,
Whatever was imagined,
There's so much more.

Collectively turn a new page,
Welcome in a golden age.

Cryogenics is here.
The night of the frozen dead.
But if you look into their mask.
Evolution bypass.

They want to live for ever
They work on it all the time.
But would you want to be with them?
For the rest of time.

It will happen.
Later or sooner
But these guy’s ain’t got no sense of humour.

Foot down on life’s gas
Evolution bypass
Evolution bypass.

Shake The Speare

Nick Moore Aug 2013

Shake The Speare

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.

now stumbling nostalgically at the door

Societies Handy Tool

Nick Moore Dec 2014

Societies Handy Tool

Everyone is someone’s fool
Societies handy tool

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

If only you could see?
Isn't much difference
Between you and me

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