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.

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,

There's a power inside

It cannot be quantified
could this be destructive?
or help us stay alive?

and the

For every gain
there was a loss

What gain?

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.

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

Alarming.
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.

No Boundaries
Nick Moore Mar 2013
Join hands, join hands,
join hands, join hands,

With the one's

No time,

just now

So when you are ready

Join hands, join hands,
join hands, join hands

With the one's

Tragedy
Nick Moore Feb 2013

This world can be

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

Fossil's of former lives
Hidden in the rock

My father in me lives on

In my fathers house are many mansions
That the blind do not see.

Pretend
Nick Moore Aug 2014
What made you
Like you are?
Any conversation
Always jars

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

To think I could be your friend

Instead of this

Something real

Not
Pretend.

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 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

Dance of the statues
Nick Moore Aug 2024
Freed from
Superfluous material
Silklike
Streamlined
Ethereal

When no human
Could gaze

The statues danced
With grace and might,
In the twilight

Perfect bodies
Would bring desire
To the most
Prudish of minds

Each movement
A mathematical
Wonder

If only
We
Could witnesses
This phenomenon,
Enchantment
Would
Be
Instantaneous

But
This
Love
Could
Never be
Reciprocated,
As
They had
Hearts of stone

Nick Moore Nov 2018
Thank you for all you gave,
I feel like I've been saved

The university of life
was worth the pain and strife

Every hard lesson
Now met with forgiveness

Even death now a friend

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

Why Angel's Smile
Nick Moore Feb 2013
Words came from up above
fill my heart with so much love

If you could see behind my eye's

dot's of white inside the black

I think the light is coming back

Interstellar

Staring into the endless maze
That are the windows

Jump over the fence
Into the place where

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

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.

Wholesomeness
Nick Moore Dec 2014
To abstain is divine
From the cow
To the swine

No ****** hands
Let them be............

Despite what you said
I still love the red
The flesh to engorge
Sweat through
The pores...............

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.
Nick Moore Apr 2013
Everyone's a star,
every new thought
creates a twinkle

We are all spinning
at different speeds,
all the patterns are
transcendent

Individuals, that are "we"

Everyone's a star,
every new thought
creates a twinkle

When you look upon
the stars, think of all
the people.

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,
when 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.

All-encompassing
Nick Moore Mar 2014
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.

Don't you ever leave me
Nick Moore Oct 2024
My muse
My muse
Don't leave me hanging,
I'm in the dark
Just standing

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

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

To walk on you’re
soft green skin,
aloft the cliff top
behold the great ocean

Burial mounds that
stand so proud,
the silence from within
speaks so loud  

Barrowfields
Barrowfields

When Atlantic mist descends
legend's whispered word
galloping horses
can be heard.
The Barrowfields, Newquay Cornwall I love to walk across them (and try to do so everyday) the views are spectacular, the Burial mounds date back to the Bronze age 1500 BC.

The Prisoner (Of The Past)

The prisoner
resides inside a cell,
the bricks, constructed
from the past

The bars
each one a different
regret,
I should have........
She should have.........
We should have..........
They should have......

Escape is possible
the light shines through
the bars

Paroled into the present
released into the hear and now,
the future with no bars.

There's been an
Eclipse happening,
For a
Long Long time,
Invisible
To
Mankind

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

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.
