the skylarks song
for its lovers heart..

I have bled
nivek 13h
I have bled
from boyhood scrapings
and cuts
my blood ****** out regularly
at the vampire station
down at the Doc's
I know the colour red well
running just beneath my outerself
and the blood of Jesus
He took with Him
instead of the blood of sheep and goats.
nivek 13h
the red sunflowers need planting out
-from their windowsill perch
to their place of blooming in the garden

a man called Jesus
nivek 13h
To right my wrongs
bring peace to conflict

to forgive and heal
took a man called Jesus
13h
smudges
nivek 13h
blood brimming with songs
from heartbeat to finger tip

a smudge of words
tearful and ******
nivek 13h
an altar to die on
daily offerings

candle and words
a little poetry
nivek 13h
with unfathomed hearts
love always waits deeper
down the depths you go
with candle and starlight.
nivek 13h
secrets are all known
before they are openly shared

once shared known by all
deep roots of consequence

careful what you utter
more careful over your silence

all your thought is known
before it becomes flesh.

upperhand
nivek 1d
in a card game
someone has the upperhand
but thats not to say
that particular upperhand will win the game
nivek 1d
if sanity had the upper hand
how much different our world would be.
nivek 1d
jammed well into the day
stuffed into a corner

the weight of the universe
squashing your mind

juices flow sticky and sweet
a poisoned ivy has its place

sour faces appear on the horizon
a Man makes a death threat to millions

getting away with ******, daily
the 21st century par for the course bloodbath.

hearts echoes
nivek 1d
quiet industry
a little clacking

breath in and out
itch to scratch

temple pulse
hearts echoes

complicated creature
a soothing honesty.

whispered
nivek 2d
whispered
silent
song
on
lips
where
silence
often
rests.
nivek 2d
living unknown
is easy
for
those
who
have found
unknowing
to be
their
truth
nivek 2d
kindled heart fire
a burning love
forever shared

mirrored
nivek 2d
unity deeper than thoughts
far deeper than expression
deeper still the bond of love.

silent sounds
nivek 2d
silence deeper than the spoken word
the well from which all comes

Keith
nivek 2d
yellowed jaundiced shrivelled
living with a death mask
sunken eyes deep in sockets
skeletal face skin over bone pulled tight
yellow eyed yellow eyed goodbye, goodbye.

a poets thrum
nivek 2d
a swept mind
silence kind balm

calmed
peaceful

nature speaks
with song and dance

a rattle and drum
meadow flowers spun

a spider in her web
stealth and skill

the poets tongue
a poets thrum.
nivek 5d
when I took that right turn
onto a long unchartered road
I knew not where I was going
but for the first time I was free
knowing love travelled with me
love my undisputed destiny.
nivek 5d
when pain turns to gift
gift turns to share
the spirit of Jesus
has broken through.
nivek 5d
banishing myriad unpleasantness
a guard on your thoughts
unseeing what you have seen
its all in a day and lifetimes work.

sounding out
nivek 5d
long words can fill up the pages
putting value on silence is personal
waggling tongues curl around voices.
5d · 25
camouflaged
nivek 5d
a cloudless blue sky
a temporary dryness

put all your money on red
a liquified sunset

the night is black
black skinned the successful hunter.

a frail voice
nivek 5d
deafening rhetoric
the shouting kind

the weakest speech
a frail voice

where all sounds
are gaps within silence

from whence we came
to where we are going.

an ignited star
nivek 6d
planetary minds bathed in moonbeams
a creature of dust and complexity-
searching for the blessed life of simplicity
born onto a path of discovery
-with a candles flame, an ignited star
for company.
nivek 6d
words have their ghosts
wandering through books
peeking out at the world

-unnamed spirits
forgotten to history
awaiting resolution

centuries can pass
dust gets thicker
light no longer visible
nivek 6d
jumping the frog dance
we chirrup like birds
safe in the nest, fed

a deep well ancient waters
feet in ancestors dust
our song is of love.
6d · 65
crescendo
nivek 6d
making a joyful noise
voice raised up, crescendo
riding the air,
a heart fulfilled
a heart set free.

rain dance
nivek 6d
rain pitterpatters the window
unique, its very own song
heralding refreshing drink
rain dance, an end to thirst.

the crumbs
nivek 6d
gathering the crumbs
on the margins of life

a quiet place
a quiet mind.
nivek 6d
given something to share
some given much more

a couple of fish
some small loaves of bread
nivek 6d
to make a noise
pleasant not grating

something beautiful
despite all the uglyness

10w love remains
nivek 6d
songs come and songs go
love remains
another song arrives
nivek 7d
joining up the dots
memories knock

never ending recordings
demand attention to details
nivek 7d
where meaning weaves resurrection
a coming to life of the dead
otherwise it is all pointless
and where pointless lives
its every person for themselves.
nivek 7d
curled edged and yellowed
dusty cobwebbed dead flies
ancient story written in blood

traps set
nivek 7d
personal agendas litter the path
some fulfilled others discarded
many clamouring for the outcome
realising of the hidden conclusion
nivek 7d
that Bee makes music from a Butterflies dance
each flight a symphony of Summers kiss
sweet sounds of lovers tryst in meadow flowers wilderness.
nivek 7d
glittered sky
a journeyed night

kaleidoscopic eyes
a sparkling sea

end of the rainbow
dreamers, dreaming
nivek May 27
through a pane of clear glass
eyes bulging, ears straining
a silent world comes to life
nivek May 27
pebbles among boulders
what can a grain of sand do?
nivek May 27
crumbling man made structures
the death of a runaway ego.

full acceptance
nivek May 27
having arrived
sure you make ripples
and ride the ripples of others

soon the pond settles down
full acceptance-
the flat calm of participation.
May 27 · 57
a long straight
nivek May 27
a zig zag road
******* in knots

switchbacks
dead ends

a long straight
into the distance

one foot
then another.
May 27 · 56
to live and die
nivek May 27
limping in the way
small talk poetry

grateful for small mercies
a half song

forever left
unfinished...

poets society
nivek May 26
streams within streams
rivers within rivers
we all get wet together

unconscious bias
nivek May 26
cannibalised soon after posting
juicy fruits plucked without hesitation
but to be fair probably unconsciously
nivek May 26
its not the number
although that says something

its the journey
strewn with poetry

a road less travelled
teeming with travellers

all those creatures
all that fauna and flora.
nivek May 26
chomping at the bit
wild foaming threats
spitting spraying spittle
