Why would you do that?

Why would you do that
at all?

One day you'll feel
the lions maul

Well being
good health

Do unto others
what you would
to
yourself.

Insignificant!
But what if we're not?
Not everything's known
Inside the ***

Our minds hold
A handful of sand
Look to the desert and
Understand

Every thought,
every action,
every word said,

Not just in your head.

How will you rate,
the movie of your life?

Song for this
Prince - let's go crazy
Musician Prince used references to akashic records as a storytelling device throughout his album The Rainbow Children, particularly in reference to the history of slavery in the United States. Since the 2012 reboot the character Obadiah Archer from the Valiant Comics universe series Archer & Armstrong is able to access the Akashic plane to mimic all known human and superhuman abilities since the 2012 reboot.

Time the clock
never forgot.

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.
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.
Nick Moore Nov 9
From as far
Back as I
Can remember,
Always wanting to know
More about
Certain people

Their
Enthusiasm,
Was addictive,
What made it so?
A need to know

The deeper I'd go,
Mystery
Would
Flow

Their favourite book,
Hungry eyes,
Take a
Look

Music was always
The one,
"What's you're favourite album?"
Lyrics
Told a story,
But interpretation would
Fragment,
The message sent

The bigger
The age gap,
Better the story,
Making me wish
To be older,
Experience those days

Living antiques
To show,
Pocket watches
That
Wind up
With a
Key,
Lockets with loved ones
Enclosed,
Rings that changed colour!
The tick and tick,
Of The
Grandfather clock,
Like a Living man
Stood in the
Hall,
Showing
Moon and sun,
What power,
Chiming on the
Hour

The unfriendly
A challenge,
But still...
Get
Under the crust,
Persistence a
Must,
More often than
Not,
Gold in the ***

Wisdom from
The wise,
A rewarding
Prize

To the
Timid and afraid,
Please be
Brave,
Open up those
Hidden gates,
Always someone
Who
Relates

Song for this, my grandfather's clock.
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor;
It was taller by half than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;
But it stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
His life seconds numbering,
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
It stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro,
Many hours had he spent while a boy.
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door,
With a blooming and beautiful bride;
But it stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
His life seconds numbering,
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
It stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.
My grandfather said that of those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found;
For it wasted no time, and had but one desire —
At the close of each week to be wound.
And it kept in its place — not a frown upon its face,
And its hands never hung by its side.
But it stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
His life seconds numbering,
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
It stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night —
An alarm that for years had been dumb;
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight —
That his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime,
As we silently stood by his side;
But it stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
His life seconds numbering,
(tick, tick, tick, tick),
It stopp'd short — never to go again —
When the old man died.

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.....

In a field
I see
A Celtic shield
  
Roots like fingers
Searching for the netherworld
Branches feeling light
Sound of songbird
Day and night

From under your shade
My mind can see
The land of faerie

A leaf under my tongue
Brings forth a song

Dance of the faerie queen
What beauty to be seen

To the aspen tree
We all bend the knee
Step 1 2 3
Nick Moore Sep 2017
Dancing alone,
music takes me over,
no distractions,

At the right moment,
everything's transgressed,
time is someone else's concept.

You're
Passion
Was made,
In the

Must take care,
A small
Amount of you
Can be
Enchanting,
Too much
Can be deadly

To help with fate,
A drop
In the eyes,
Cause  to
Dilate
Nature flower

Always room for improvement
no such thing as utopia
within the darkness there is light
don't fall for their phobia

What doesn't **** you
makes you stronger
the path ahead
gets
longer
and

How long do we get?
How many can we fit inside?
I reply like it's the first time
Gotta take pride

Have my ******* jokes
It makes them laugh
"Mind you're rowlocks" when you step inside lad's.
Watch out for the crocodiles, they escaped from the zoo.
Just over the side
If you need the loo.

Lookout for the terrapins
I can tell you think it's a joke
But it's true
Don't believe me?
I'll show a picture to you

Where did they come from?
During the winter, where do they go?
Never answer
"I don't know"

I've held many positions
From the bottom to the top
Some good
Some bad
They kept me a float
But never been happier
Helping people, inside a boat
Thanks to Cj

Once a jelly
Escaped from it's mold,
It wasn't very good
With the rules
Been
Told

Heading to the ocean
To be
Weightless
And
Free

Sliding across land
And eventually
Landing
On  
Sand

A small climb
Into the
Brine

Floating around
A jellyfish
Was found,
It was love at first
Wobble
And
Bobble

In no time at all
Some offsprings ensured,  
Who was to
Tell them  
It couldn't happen?

And as they matured,  
Came to be
Called
Gelateenagers

The bygone collider
Tingling you're spine like a spider

Every facet of the past
Now nailed to the mast

All decision now made
Comes at a price already paid

Or

The wings of  hummingbirds
Complex patterns
Of straight lines and curves

New infinite patterns emerge
1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55
The honeycomb inside the hive

The kaleidoscope
has been shaken

The pieces are
in flux

Fear and ignorance
divide

Balance is the power
love and truth
unite.

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.

It was time for a monster hunt

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.

Claws grabbing that you cannot see

My world has been turned on it's head
because of the words you said
Nick Moore Feb 2013
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.
How many hours
Now spent?
Watching you're
Crocodile tears,
My listening ears
Trying to find
Solutions,
To mind
Pollution's

But the penny has dropped,
It's the drama addiction,
Now
A
Prediction

A
Lesson now learned
Mind clear
Of the
Mires,
There's such things
As
Energy vampires

Bumbling around
To a Dire Straits sound

You're definitely not woke
With that Dad joke

From inside the shed
Beer is brewing
"Just planting some seeds"
Who's he fooling?

But
Now my eyes can see
Not
A
Caricature
It's all about
LOVE
In this role that he plays

From you're bedside
The last words spoke
Delivered to me
One last Dad joke

Now
Heart broke
Time to tell the kid's
My own Dad Joke
Inspired by a comment from Anais Vionet, thanks for the Inspiration.

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 Sep 2017
I love
that you
love

The things
that you
love

Even if I don't

Could you do the same for me?

If yes

What great lovers
we
could
be....

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

My favourite sunset
my favourite poem
springs to mind
as my de-fence
First one in a while, hope there are more to come.

You stole a poem from my heart
So now I can't separate
Real life from art
Nick Moore Feb 2013
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.
Nick Moore Sep 2017
Angels and a dolphin's tale,

From the heavens to the
bottom of the seas,

To the inner space
inside you and me,

A wonderful feeling
you'r presence cannot
be denied.

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


Song, Paul Weller - Has my fire really gone out?
Nick Moore Mar 2013
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

One night it did occur,
Magic carpet's are real and true.

My mattress where I lay in slumber,
My dreams, my magic carpet ride.

While riding one night a thought did arise,
Dreams feature sunshine and light.

Dream light, I could not help theorize
upon a leaf would it
photosynthesize.
Last one this year, have a good one poetry readers.

Earbud buddy's
Shut the world out

Earbud buddy's
Silent scream and shout

Earbud buddy's
No eye contact for me

Earbud buddy's
Nothings for free

Earbud buddy's
No man is an island
You wait and see
Interaction,  it's not for me.
Slightly judgmental? Just missing the days when people interacted more.

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
Nick Moore May 30
Either or?
There must be more?
To explore

And of course there is
But it can make conversations a bore
Either or

Sometimes we open the door
To no longer
Either or

The door marked
No time
Everything else
Is left behind

The glue that binds
Place with no mind
Been working on this one for a while, finally came together after a very interesting discussion.
Nick Moore Dec 2017
First there was a lock
now you have the key,

The chains holding you down
finally set you free,

Open the door
step into the light
all that bad stuff
dissolves into the night.
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.

I used to wish
For an
Eraser,
To rub out
All the painful episodes
Off my life,
The
Hardships and
Strife

It's taken many years
To fully realise,
The golden prize

Empathy

To know
How it feels,
The deal it seals

No
Good
Without
The
Bad
This is the first version.

I used to play
A little game
With myself

The eraser blazer

I'd think of all the unwanted scenario's
From the past
And give them a blast
With the
Eraser blazer

Imagining the new and
Improved me
For all to see

Until realising
There's no good
Without the bad
Nick Moore Jan 2014
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.

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.

Going round in circles
Like a boat upon waters
Of a moat

Seeing the same scene
Over and over
And everything in-between

The journey becomes tiresome
"I've seen it all before"
Then Heraclitus comes knocking at the door

Kick off my shoes
Feet once again
Sliver into the river

I'm seeing everything
For the first time
Again
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
Heraclitus
