balm of forgiving
nivek Sep 2024
flaming eyes of deep fire
the burning of memories

relit by circumstance
the tiniest of happenings

see how easy you travel
way back into your mind

flaming eyes of deep fire
needing the balm of forgiving.

to listen
nivek Sep 2024
each new wave carries you forward
every lull a time of silence

storms rage but are ultimately benign
stirring up the sediment

for you to listen
one more time.

daystar lovers
nivek Sep 2024
Star-struck before conception
lightening bolts through ancestors hearts

a single cell sunbathing in warm oceanic waters

-the lull before the split and the storm
- of generated generational daystar lovers.

nivek Aug 2024
results are the result of other results
and then there is Divine Intervention
and you will only know that happens
having prayed for Divine Intervention.

magical
nivek Aug 2024
haphazard, lucky, coincidence,
all can come to pass
and then something almost magical
happens
- seemingly out of the blue
nivek Aug 2024
I turned left
you turned right
we both went straight on.
Miniscule lives almost intertwined.
nivek Aug 2024
life is one long healing
but first a need to admit it

mind, heart

emitting signals from the heart of you
for good or for ill, and no-one is exempt.

transformation
nivek Aug 2024
when hurt understandably to hurt back is probably a first reaction
but not always, and given time and experience within a regular prayerful life, hurt can be transformed into love.
Aug 2024 · 38
memories
nivek Aug 2024
where memory leads to pain
a question is asked
a decision is to be made
a healing to take place
a way forward decided
a burden laid down.
Aug 2024 · 41
hate is truly suicide
nivek Aug 2024
in a stranger than fiction world
in killing another
you truly **** yourself

wearing the skin
nivek Aug 2024
jumping into a full-time occupation
wearing the skin of a promised upside
taking someone at their word(s)

Jesus walked the walk whatever folk thought
-or think

loving to the end and beyond eternity
talked the talk
sharing all He had, or was, or ever will be.
Aug 2024 · 88
for pleasure
nivek Aug 2024
songs of Gulls pierce the skies
Golden Eagles spiral upward
flocks of Sparrows blast past
the Jenny Wren hunts insects
a mob of Starlings frenetic fly
Geese in green meadow honk
Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Goldfinch
-vie for food hung from branches
-The Man replenishes for pleasure.

lead weight
nivek Aug 2024
what a weight all past mistakes would be
added to the person hiding beneath all untruths
just to get a reaction and seem in control, seem in the know
seem to be not an uneducated fool.

dreams

dreams dragged away from the night

fleeting remembrance, strange affair

each dawn uniquely sings

in your eyes forked lightening strike.

am I wrong
nivek Aug 2024
is it right to sing while others are being tortured and murdered?

I venture we sing for song sake
singing for those so cowed cannot sing for themselves
sing in defiance of oppression and oppressors
sing out against those who would have you controlled
sing because its your duty for the betterment of Mankind
sing that so those who are jailed for their belief or political choices
sing because that is the kind of world they hunger for.

and the ripples multiply

that's where songs are forged

simple task of loving

the profoundness of simplicity
can be fathomed by the simple
here is depth where love resides

Swept Down A Birth Canal
nivek Aug 2024
A hole is a strange thing
makes you wonder, 'What's within'
A Spider, a Snake,
Sure makes for investigation if you are not 'freaked'
Hole in the fabric of space
Lets be honest a 'Black hole' can swallow 'Everything'
and yet it can spit you out, and probably did.

to be indispensable
nivek Aug 2024
weather holds within her folds an intelligence
also the dance of mankind for good or for ill
weather circles the world a complete organism
forever healing herself of industrial wounds
the weather does not shun a helping hand
indeed the hands of many hold her future-
battles she must face while maintaining integrity
being true to her reasons to be indispensable.
Aug 2024 · 59
we know nothing
nivek Aug 2024
the big picture is always bigger than one thinks
as love is deeper than one knows
small things remind of the importance of everything
everything having a place in the big picture
and love loving what it creates and holds in being
Aug 2024 · 90
weaving love
nivek Aug 2024
within the warp and weft
the fingers of a God
-weaving love

the ancient songs of Sparrows
handed down generations
-cheering hearts

somewhere someone whistles a tune
happy in their work
-poetry without words

Sunup and across the skies
a trail daily blazing
-a tiny flickering candleflame.

all my dreams are written
nivek Aug 2024
I never sleep at night
the dreamlands claim my mind

propel me head first into strange stories
at once familiar and unknown

sleep would be welcome
- a kind of forgetting

but it seems dreams are written down
and I must act them out.

love has its reason
nivek Aug 2024
we met along the road
both lost to times sweep

silently we danced in the winds
unaware of each others pains

music arrives on its own terms
the lyrics forged by experience

our hands almost entwined
as we looked deep into our souls

sparkled eyes in an ocean of stars
love has its reason for us to hold hands.
Aug 2024 · 43
flower
nivek Aug 2024
flower, one flower,
how gentle
how fleeting
how loved.

for another day
nivek Aug 2024
nudged from each perch by pressure of circumstance
the world a circus ball you balance on, or not,
yes its all a beautiful spiral Galaxy within Galaxy
as we spin around trying to hold hands, trying to hold...
the stage is set and reset and we get dressed for another day
