The Sea Of Ideas
Nick Moore Oct 2014
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.

Confront.
Nick Moore Dec 2011
When I was little, a voice in my head, said.
“there’s a monster underneath my 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 three.
There was nothing there to see.

Tomorrow.
Nick Moore Dec 2011
Will love come tomorrow?
Or will it come today?

Well, I don’t know!
But will stay optimistic anyway

Hello tomorrow,
I met someone today
I think it all went well
But only you can say

Perspectives
Nick Moore Aug 2014
The thought inside the mind,
the mind inside the thought

The seed inside the tree,
the tree inside the seed

The world inside you,
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.

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.

Interstellar
Nick Moore Mar 2015
Into the mirror we gaze
Staring into the endless maze
That are the windows
To the soul
Outer space
Two black holes

Jump over the fence
Into the place where
Logic makes no sense.

Epistemology
Nick Moore Oct 2013
Can you conceive?
How do you believe?
What do you construct?
Thoughts in mind are tucked
No choice which house you are born
When death visits some will celebrate
Others mourn.

Golden age.
Nick Moore Jan 2023
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.

Seekers and avoiders

I'm having a rave
Inside
Plato's cave

These squares
Are going to listen
This
Time

Time to take a
Fall,
Staring at
Shadow,
On the
Wall

They ain't keen
On the truth,
It's the biggest
Problem,
Holding them
Back

Outside,  
It's a
Lovely day,
Must choose Carefully,

Evolution Bypass
Nick Moore Feb 2013
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,

Jigsaw Souls
Nick Moore Dec 2024
We all have
Out unique shape,
Smooth bits and sharp bits
Occasionally
A
Flake

A
Tiny piece of the picture,
With a vague idea
Of what it is,
We look for others
Who are a
Good
Fit

Sometimes we think
"I've found them"
Only to find,
There's a gap
In the
Join

But if you're determined,
The right fit
Is around,
The picture more focused,
Love will be
Sound

Others will notice
And ask,
"How and why?"
Invite them in
Could be a piece
Of
Sky

The picture keeps growing,
With frustrations and knowing,
Don't focus on the
Wrong fits,
Hopefully they will find
The right one

Take the long view,
Collectively you've made,
A picture worth
Admiring,
The light
And
The
Shade

A
Dream,
To keep in mind,
One day we'll all find our way,
A discovered piece of scripture,
And see the
Bigger
Picture

Societies Handy Tool
Nick Moore Dec 2014
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.

What A Child Sees
Nick Moore Feb 2013
Child kisses the mouth
Of the shadow dog,
Water on her arm
“The moon”

Watching the circular ripples
Expanding

And me,
Watching her,
I glimpsed something,
Something I had lost

This is why I’m so touched,
By
What a child
Can see

Meditations
Nick Moore Mar 2013
Cliff top meditations
the sea, she sings to you

The sun,
shadows left
their mark,
as she cut
through
the dark

blue sky sprites
everywhere
dancing
to
mothers
symphony

Drink, drink, drink,
drink it all in
nature is everything!
no dividing line
no in
no out.

Nick Moore Mar 2013
Join hands, join hands,

With the one's

No time,

just now
is what
they
say

So when you are ready

Join hands, join hands,
join hands, join hands

With the one's
you cannot see.

The light in the night
Nick Moore Mar 2013
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

Nick Moore Feb 2013

Without a word
while dreaming occurred
it's cogs kept whirling and turning.

Woken from my sleep
by the
BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP

It's time to press you'r button.

Wounded Soul
Nick Moore Apr 11
The chaos rained  down,
Cracks appeard upon the ground,
Every man,
Every woman,
For themselves.
Gods of Gods and their gods,
Were confused about what to do!
Through it all
Two people's eyes met,
Two
Wounded souls,
Will always recognise each other.

Pop-up Poem
Nick Moore Feb 2013
Open up the word book,
What do you see?
Poem’s of the mind in 3D

A stream of consciousness
On every page,
It’s your mind I hope to engage

So put on your imaginary glasses,
And
Have another look,
What stands up
Inside a poet’s book

Words came from up above
fill my heart with so much love

Pareidolia.
Nick Moore Oct 2017
Seeing shapes in the clouds
on this exquisite day,
look a horse frolicking in the hay

Now look! A witch
and that little one's starting to look like a cat,
even the top of her head looks like a pointed hat

Some say there's a connection
between mind and cloud,
unconscious patterns
externally stand proud

And on a day like today
it's hard not to believe
it's true.

The Path To The River
Nick Moore Mar 2013
Do you stick with what you know?
or look for a new path
to go?

Stepping off the well trodden way
makes one see
the world
a new
way

Old patterns to be broken,
Eye's to see
When
Awoken

Leading to the river
The path is knowing,
Where all is
Flowing

Pretend
Nick Moore Aug 2014
What made you
Like you are?

Always jars

You can be so mean.
Calling others = low self esteem

Something real

The Hole
Nick Moore Feb 2013
I knew this was coming,
It's easy to push a thought away
I just lived my life
until this day

Not much talking,
That's no problem
You look happy... in a way,
Time to go now... what's that you say
"there's a hole?"
"I want to go inside?"
"But I'm afraid?"
I speak the voice you know so well
"I'll go first
If you like?"
A smile on your lips,
It's time to go on my way,
Arriving at my door,
I hear the ringing of the phone,
No need to answer it
I know the line's been cut

Trust.
Nick Moore Feb 2013
Come to me,
Don’t be afraid of me,
I need to know
The things

The things
You could tell me,
So don’t hold back from me

I will try,
Try not to be afraid of you,
Of what my imagination
Thinks you can do

Are you afraid of me?
Of what you think I maybe?

Trust is something we must trust in

So come to me,
As I come to you

Demon
Nick Moore Jan 6
Just discovered,
I
HAD
A
Demon,
Attached to me.

It's Claws
We're so deep,
It's taken me
Many years To realise.

It was so clever,
Hidden so deep,
Inside my
Psyche

It's strength lay
In it's
Non existence
(To me)
But I caught
A fleeting glimpse,
Many situations
Over Many years,
Suddenly connected

And it was gone,
The holes
Where it's
Claws
Withdrew,
Will heal very quickly

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.

Making The World Up.
Nick Moore Dec 2011
Be careful what you think!
Anything could be true?
You could be me? and I could be you?

This thought starts growing inside my head
Is it me writing this?
or is it you instead?

This situation could be worse,
please find pen and paper,
write the next verse.

To abstain is divine
From the cow
To the swine

The flesh to engorge
Sweat through

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

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

Stars.

Everyone's a star,

We are all spinning

When you look upon

In every nook and cranny

To a lesser

Don't leave me hanging,

Bring me what I need
I'm the conduit
You are the seed

The mystery
I cannot fathom,
Could my time be better spent?
If ego?
At least
I'd know

But it's white
Hiding in snow

Eclipse happening,
For a
Long Long time,
Invisible
To

Darkness slowly
Winning,
As the
Moon and earth
Are spinning

Reaching the full
Corona
Will seem,
Like all is lost
Inside a bad
Dream

Some will see
The ring of light,
Others filled full
Of
Fright

But,
The cogs are
Always turning,
New growth
After
Burning

What appears
Stuck,
All an allusion

A
New day,
A
New
Dawn

Optimism
Wears a
New
Crown

Remember
Remember
What was lost,
Given away
At such cost

The
Light shines
Brighter than
Ever before,
True
Love,
Opens the
Door

When Atlantic mist descends

The lowest point
Nick Moore Aug 23
It's all been said before,
A series of events,
You know the score.

Everything was lost,
An inevitable pull,
Towards the void,
At what point do you loose control?

A decision had to be made,
Before this force, had me slade.

Reaching the lowest point,
Time to rip this joint,
A place never to return,
See the signs,
Before the burn.

resides inside a cell,

from the past

The bars
each one a different
regret,

Escape is possible
the light shines through
the bars

Paroled into the present
released into the hear and now,
