Nick Moore: Poems

Nick Moore Jun 21

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

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.

Giving gift

Nick Moore Oct 24

Giving gift

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.

Glimpse

Nick Moore Jun 6

Glimpse

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

Golden age.

Nick Moore Jan 2023

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.

Goodbye.

Nick Moore Feb 2013

Goodbye.

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.

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.

Here back inside of me.

Nick Moore Mar 2013

Here back inside of me.

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?

Hit the road.

Nick Moore Feb 24

Hit the road.

Sister
         There's
                     A
                      Twister
                                   Heading
                                                 Our
                                                       Way
                                               Avoid
                                               I
                                      Must
                               This
                        Gust
                    Of
            Dust
    Let's
Be
   On
       Our
             Way

I don't know

Nick Moore Sep 12

I don't know

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.

Illumination.

Nick Moore Apr 2016

Illumination.

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.

In a dark place.

Nick Moore Mar 2016

In a dark place.

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.

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.

Interstellar

Nick Moore Mar 2015

Interstellar

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.

Is there any other way?

Nick Moore Jan 2012

Is there any other way?

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.

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?

It's a dog's life

Nick Moore Apr 22

It's a dog's life

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

It's True.

Nick Moore Apr 2013

It's True.

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.

Jacobite's song

Nick Moore Aug 2016

Jacobite's song

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.

Just a feeling.

Nick Moore Jan 2012

Just a feeling.

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.

Just a Theory

Nick Moore Jun 2015

Just a Theory

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

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.

Labyrinth World

Nick Moore Oct 26

Labyrinth World

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

Labyrinth World.

Let the madman shout

Nick Moore Aug 18

Let the madman shout

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

Made up world

Nick Moore Jun 28

Made up world

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

Making The World Up.

Nick Moore Dec 2011

Making The World Up.

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.

Mask

Nick Moore Jul 2023

Mask

You looked inside the bag
.
Containing alternative masks
.
You delved deep inside
.
Choice made
.
But all that came out
Was
The
Usual
You

Media

Nick Moore Jun 30

Media

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?

Meditations

Nick Moore Mar 2013

Meditations

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.

Memory Intact.

Nick Moore Jan 2013

Memory Intact.

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?

Memory Of A Closeness

Nick Moore Feb 2014

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
anymore

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

Mercury molten in this world.

Nick Moore Sep 2017

Mercury molten in this world.

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.

Mick Jaguar

Nick Moore Oct 4

**** Jaguar

An
Avalanche
Of
Rolling stones,
The
Dust starting
To
Clear,
Suddenly
Out of nowhere
Appeared
**** jaguar,
Running faster
Than age should allow,
The other animals
Made noises
Of
Approval,
He was one of a kind.
It was a
Ruby Tuesday,
The rain got
Off it's cloud,
**** Jaguar
Sprinted towards
A cave,
Gimme shelter
Could be
Heard

Song- Monkey Man by The Rolling Stones

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
And all my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you babe?
But I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yeah, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
But we love to play the blues
But well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
Monkey woman too babe
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
Monkey, monkey
Monkey
Monkey
I'm a monkey

Momentum.

Nick Moore Jan 2012

Momentum.

The Kaleidoscope has been shaken,
all the pieces are in flux

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

Mr Pollock.

Nick Moore Apr 2013

Mr *******.

Rainbow droplets
pitter patter

Paint splashes
splitter splatter

You'r canvas
a doorway
to the subconscious

Seem like some
must box or list
your's was
abstract expressionist.

My old school

Nick Moore Nov 7

My old school

Relocated when
I
Was
Eight,
Gran picked me up
Outside
The school gate

This would be the last time,
For a
Long time,
To be present here,
My old school

Somewhere in my mind
It got locked away,
The places
Where we
Used to
Play

Now the years have passed,
Returning to
My old school
At
Last

It looks exactly the same,
Except someone's shrunk it!
My eyes, they shut,
Am I in
Lilliput?

Song- Where Do the Children Play? Cat Stevens.

New beginning's.

Nick Moore Feb 2013

New beginning's.

Smile like an amused infant
                       as
         the crow hops from
                the tree

Death there is no room for you
          close my eyes to see

Wasps and poisonous serpents
       burst upon a blank page

      The sun had licked at it
          yellowing with age

Rip you out and burn you!
       it's better this way

Having faced you so many times
      I'm stepping on a new stage

No Boundaries

Nick Moore Mar 2013

No Boundaries

Join hands, join hands,
join hands, join hands,

With the one's
you cannot see

No time,
no distance!
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.

Not to know .

Nick Moore Apr 2023

Not to know .

Thoughts set in concrete, must be a bore
To know what is in store
Kills creative thinking
Change my mind between blinking.

Ocean of rapture.

Nick Moore Sep 2017

Ocean of rapture.

There's a much bigger picture
than we can see,

Tiny glimpses escape through the cracks
inspiring you and me,

One day we will bathe in an ocean of rapture because I've seen your face.

Oh what a pantomime.

Nick Moore Nov 2019

Oh what a pantomime.

Behind you,
behind you

The frustration!

Every time,
he looks around,
he doesn't see or hear a sound.

Reality knocks, the penny drops.

Or, are we all still shouting
behind you,
behind you?

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 : ))

Old Rocking Chair.

Oh no, for goodness sake,

But then these words I do declare

I rub the place where I had hair!
woodworms taken another rocking chair.

On Board

On Board

Gull's,
The only sound.
Bobbing around,
I'm
Wave
Waiting

The right one
Arrives,
A
Liquid
Mountain
Slide

Curling around,
I'm
Inside,
An
Exhilarating
Ride

Momentum spent,
The
Moment
Came and
Went

All this fun,
Turn
Around,
Face the
Sun

Paddle
Through the
Breakers,
Towards the
Bobbing

Song - Surfs up, The beach boys

Ophelia

Nick Moore Sep 20

Ophelia

Every time I gaze Upon this Scene,
It's like I'm living inside a dream
Those eyes,
What thoughts behind?
Oh
To see
Inside you're mind

Waters flow around you,
Course towards
Cold depths,
Distant sound of shallow breaths

Lifeline
Now
Thinning,
You're voice
Can be heard,
Still
Singing

Hands in abbhaya mudra position,
Flowers still held,
Fate has a mission

On you're journey,
No fear
Is
Shown,
Everyone gone,
Now
All alone

Lost love
Drove you to this,
The contract,
Has been sworn,
Not death
But reborn

Inspired by the paintings of John Everett Millais.
The abhaya mudra is a hand gesture that symbolizes protection, peace, and the dispelling of fear. It is also known as the "fearlessness gesture" because the word abhaya means "fearlessness" in Sanskrit.

Oral bliss, Anal anxiety

Nick Moore Feb 2013

Oral bliss, **** anxiety

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.

Panchreston.

Nick Moore Dec 2011

Panchreston.

There's sanctuary
to which I can flee,

Somewhere there's a door
you cannot open
locked inside of me

There I can enjoy
mysterious and
dreadful
freedom.
