I want to be
Like
Entangled particles,
You and me,
Wherever we are
I'll know how you feel.
Subatomic 'twins' photons created by splitting a single photon in half.
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.
Nick Moore Oct 2024
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

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.
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,
Evolution bypass
Evolution bypass

The sweetest pill
with a bitter coating

Get through the hard part
then you'r floating.

Martial of the elements          
Fire
Hierarchical prince
Fire
Flutter flags, crimson,
ochre, sapphire, orange
and blue,
Fire
Destroying and cleansing
Prometheus
we are indebted to
you

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
Nick Moore Jun 2024
I'm Venus the trap
Beware of my trigger hairs
For a fly
The Beginning of nightmares

After I've digested
My evolution
Was Well invested

Soon I'll open up
And Reset
I'm a plant
So don't get upset
Nick Moore Nov 2013
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.
Nick Moore Oct 2024
What is this
You bring?
All wrapped up
And
Tied
With string


The excitement of childhood,
May this feeling
Never leave
What's hidden?
What's found?
Shake and listen
For a
Sound

Someone's thoughts
Contained inside,
Expression of love
Cannot be
Denied

Time to open up
"It's a pebble from the beach"
One that you picked
Just for me,
Only you're eyes could see,
It's perfect,
For me
I don't really do sentimental, but when it happens, it happens.
Nick Moore Jun 2024
Stuck my head
through a hole to the other side

The mind takes a dazzling ride

Hold on too fleeting golden memory
But
it
falls
to
the
bottom
like a dream now forgotten
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.
Nick Moore Feb 2013
Goodbye
will I see you
again?

Goodbye
I hope so
but........when?

Goodbye
there's no
hello
without you.

To all the goodbye's
I'm sure
waiting for
you again.
Nick Moore Feb 2013
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
Nick Moore Mar 22
Black lightening
In
Reverse,
Not a leaf to be seen,
Stars glistening
In-between

Holding steady,
Wind
Is
Wild,
Shadows dance
With the
Flowing
Grass.
Nick Moore Mar 4
Walking one of your
Favourite
Walks,
Through the twisting bends,
Your voice
To me
Talkes,
I consider the soil, trees and rocks,
Hold memory's,
Whispering
On the
Wind.
Nick Moore Mar 2013
At the best of times
it's not just the two
of us

It's outside time and space
how long spent
in that
place?

Sister
         There's

When these
Three
Words are said,
There's
Many thoughts
Inside my
Head

So out of respect,
Not thinking
You're
Correct

"I don't know"

Not made a
Definitive
Conclusion,
Sorry to cause
Confusion

"I don't know"

Some take offence,
Time to
"Get off the fence"
But life
Is
Long,  
Pondering
The mystery
Of The
Song

The tune can
Lead you
Anywhere,
Eventually I'll
Get
There.


Song- Hank Williams, “Ramblin’ Man”
If.
Nick Moore Jul 2017
If.
If I could borrow your sorrow for a day.
Nick Moore Apr 2016
Can I have something
I haven't had so far?

Explore
explore
explore

Something no living being
has
had


Most fear it's name,
I call it's tune
on
a
full
waxing
moon.

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.
Nick Moore Dec 2011
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.
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.

I woke to find
Everything packed away—
Carpets rolled up,
Bare floorboards
Revealed for the first time.

No one around,
My footsteps made
A strange
Sound

Then Gran came in.
"Your mummy and daddy
Aren't getting along."
This truth,
I learned too late,
Kept from me
Until this morning.

A day my mind
Will never forget,
A secret now
Unfolded.

We traveled to the new town,
My face
Wore
A
Frown.

The door slammed shut
Too quickly,
A bad case
Of homesickness.
What was severed
Now crystallized.

Now,
I never fail
To remember
Every
Detail.
Nick Moore Jan 2012
I need an open day
to see it another way

Don't push me into this
I'll sink into the abyss

My mind is tuned into a certain sound
tomorrow I'll turn it all around.
Nick Moore Apr 2014
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?
Nick Moore Apr 2024
Somethings a hatching

                     The dog's a scratching

What is that I see?

                                        A crazy flea!

I try to incarcerate
                            But the jam jar is too late

            Next time I'll be quick

                  You
                        Luna tick
Nick Moore Apr 2013
You told me,
just out of the blue!

It's true!
I'm so happy
about what's happening
to you

Now I know

It's true!
if you want something
enough,
it will come true.
Nick Moore Aug 2016
What is that flower I see?
While walking
Culloden pavilions

Sweet William
Sweet William
Sweet William

It may only be a flower
but it's story has power

to me
I see

Stinking Billy
Stinking Billy
Stinking Billy.

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
Nick Moore Jan 2012
Everyone's acting
like nothings going on,
Playing old roles
that's been over done

We've been walking down a corridor,
Now stumbling
Nostalgically at the door

Let's just open it!
Nick Moore Jun 2015
String,
A
thing
A
Song
From
The
Past it sing

What joy it could bring

If?

There was
one
change

Stop
that
December shot

so mean!
We lost
# 9 Dream.

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.

Wondering around
Formless and free,
Compelling curiosity
To find out what could be?

Constructing an 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 did burn,
Leaving clues
At each twist,
corner and turn

Time of awakening
Has begun,
Lookout for the clues
To know you
Have
Won

The complexities of the mind
Can be overwhelming
Sometimes unkind

Don't go running scared
Be brave
You're soul
Laid bare
The good will arise
I swear

When he's about
Let the madman shout
Nick Moore Jun 2024
Fantasy merging with reality
Is it a possibility?

Such merriment
Discovering the double slit experiment

Observation changes what is seen
What is believed slips in-between  

When a thought reaches critical mass
Wipes the floor of the past
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.
Nick Moore Dec 2024
Make sure the fit
Is not too tight,
Or you may forget
It's there in the night,
Blurring wrong and right.

Remove the mask,
Let your soul be bare.
No need to ask—
Just show you care.

Hold someone close,
Feel their beating heart.
Life's truest moments
Need no guise or art.
Nick Moore Jul 2023
You looked inside the bag
.
Containing alternative masks
.
You delved deep inside
.
Choice made
.
But all that came out
Was
The
Usual
You

Maybe the fall,
Is gravity's call.

At one with the universe,
Floating around amniotic fluid,
Not being coerced.

How
My heart aches,
When the water breaks.

Separation begins,
As does the crying,
The cord has been
Cut.
This is no oedipus complex, but a state of grace.
Nick Moore Jun 2024
Never liked the news
What got their hooks
Was reading books

Independent journalists
Had a different take
Than the media's stake

This can be a lonely path to choose
Keep you're mouth shut
Or friends you loose

Watching what they say
Like watching an actor in a play
Maybe it will change
One day?
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 Jan 2013
Can you see beyond your own grave stone?

Can you exist in your own time zone?

Can you remember before you had a name?

Can you remember the innocence before the shame?

Can you remember not knowing what to be?

Can you remember the things you cannot see?

Can you remember the things you forgot?

Can you forget the things you cannot forget?
Nick Moore Feb 2014
Time for some heals
But this
Memory of a closeness
Remains

Is it the same for you?
we never mention it
anymore

Maybe it should be left alone?
to always be a
Memory of a closeness.
Nick Moore Sep 2017
Hidden and seen

Forgotten and remembered

Lucid thought, full stop fact

Time makes a fact
not a fact

Bearer of the branch
make dams for the lame.
