aborted souls
nivek Oct 2024
I ask the prayers of the little ones
the ones closest to the heart of love
especially the souls, like all others
bestowed at conception.... and
ripped from their mothers womb.

in a mirror that lies
nivek Oct 2024
there is a base creature
lives deep in the dark

who growls and howls
trying to get out

the gnashing of teeth
a serpent tongue

the one that blames
all others

whilst preening their image
in a mirror that lies.

silence
nivek Sep 2024
one spin of the Earth
half dark half light
half awake half asleep

the solitary speaks no words
going round and round the Sun
silence of the grave silence of the Earth.

where darkness has its say
but only for finite-time
which gets shorter

here on the mountain top
nivek Sep 2024
super egos hunt you down
lay siege to your freedom

but if you be willing
you will have escaped

kept your secret self
from being vanquished

and here on the mountain top
you sing your songs.

Dumb Actors Unemployable
nivek Sep 2024
rage at those who make costly tongue twisted claims of influence
on a world stage where the actors 'of a feather flock together'
preening each others fragile ego's on the brink of popping at the slightest ***** or jest aimed at their 'out on show for all to see' dumb actors unemployable stupidity.

false narrative
nivek Sep 2024
scraping around the inside of your mind
-mistakes take on a life of their own

looming ever larger a storm brews

put all your hope in God
-my friend

the world is watching
-your contribution to the whole

-messed up twisted contortioned
false narrative going the rounds.

the love of living

Sycamore dead
let go for Winter

a Summers harvest

one last recital
nivek Sep 2024
You will leave a skeleton
after you are long gone

One poem may survive
rattling around your skull

A tattooed lyric
set in bone

After one last recital
one last Hurrah.

UP and Out To Sea
nivek Sep 2024
wind bourn discarded Summer
swirling up and out to sea
frigid waters where seals swim
catching cold bloodied fish
a thin shore betwixt footfall
and watery end- where
many have fallen to their death
- from on high our Island cliffs.

what to choose
nivek Sep 2024
with so many choices of bandwagons
it can be hard to choose the worthwhile

to be succinct in a world
of throwaway speech.
nivek Sep 2024
Fright night seeps into the mind
spreading its fear-tentacles far and wide.

A spirit monster to battle once more-
but its getting easier each time.

on a world stage uncaring of where it lands

torn apart

spurts of conscience
in a world of dreams

a fight between
fake and real

High altitude deep rumblings
with no rain in sight

The fighter jets scrambled
called to action

The break in the spell-
of living in peace.

a carpet of corpses

tumbling into Autumn-
Sycamores shedding their dead

a carpet of corpses
shrivelled brown

leaving the bones on show-
skeletons into the wind.

Prayers of Angels
nivek Sep 2024
poison speech splurted unthinkingly
but non the less with malice
come now children of the Universe
children of the future
do not be overcome by evil
coming to your senses
ask the prayers of the Angels
those charged with the care
of those most eaten up with malice.

circle of the stars
nivek Sep 2024
three steps on the road
who can measure eternity

four steps to the well
quenching deep waters

an Angel guards the road
when all else is wanting

six steps forward into the dust storm
at one with flesh of all flesh

seven raises its head
a mystical companion

the double circle of the snake
eating its own tail.

hearts desire
nivek Sep 2024
Come away to a quiet place,  says love,
and I will reveal what it is your heart desires.

Come, travel an unknown path
strip yourself of all that is familiar.

Come be led by love
and find your hearts desire.

trials and patience
nivek Sep 2024
emptied in order to be refilled
tryst of poets and their muse

a desert soaked and dried up
left alone in the darkest night

bereft of words
an empty heart

put asunder all Mankind
with war and hate

or choose to wait
the wave of love.
nivek Sep 2024
time, one measure for co-ordination
sync in space and place
in union with all the living
and all of the dead
all those yet to be born and
all souls ripped from the womb
all standing and waiting....
for time to end its function.
nivek Sep 2024
Confirmation gently settles, deep in your heart,
an acceptance wholly in your mind says 'yes'
Nailed to the cross, the personal road of love
seeing clearly the present travelling the long past
its all a gift, and you offer it up daily, back to God.

captured within moments
something of the truth

a pathway to everywhere
all at once.... love

and the song still rises
the fountain overflows.

ones own mind

warmongers are real

that way lies ruin

so watch your thoughts
