swaying on the edge
I have deep fallen

gathered in
a pure spider

saved my life
for a second

spun me round
and round

a mummified
snack for later

some wear stars on their flag
some stars in their eyes
as if a star could be plucked out the sky

the daystar here runs through our blood
not the Star itself
her being her is sufficient

like a lover who loves
because that's all that a lover can do
a law written in the heart of love itself.

Night hardly falls
a grey drape over the Sun

and its day
again.

Vampires would find it too
light

Winter is their time
black for months.

So much daytime
so much Summer

we live, here
albino eyes

albino creeps
across our skin.

I pick one grape
squash it into wine
and drink deep
from the mystery

the Geese across the way have much to say these days
roosting down the shore, The Goose a Celtic sign of the Holy Ghost.
Monotone voices on the radio speak of intercontinental ballistic missiles
a modern sign of Armageddon just around the corner of tomorrow.
I wonder just what it is the Geese are saying, and they say it all together,
then stop mid sentence as one.
The many experts on modern day ills speak in low voices, highlighting the graveness of their messages, in between Hollywood gossip keeps us all interested and listening.
the Geese mate for life, and stay in family groups, and they have no need of missiles, its a shame we do not take a leaf or two out of their book.

you can travel a long way to get nowhere

go nowhere to get in tune with now

now understand your place in the Universe

make a leap of faith and find eternal love.

I paid some dollars ( here its pounds)
to have my efforts highlighted.

Come on now poetry god
this is so wonky wrong.

Far better to accept advertisers
to keep it all going

than relegate so many poets(who cannot pay)
to second class poetry.

Being a poet yourself
we surely wholeheartedly

trust you poet god
to accept acceptable advertising.

I can skip, whip words
connect deeper

but I am rejected
a threat

and live
the periphery

to all
who claim

WE ARE THE
CHOSEN

you cannot
argue

with those
who

think they
are perfect.

under a 'special regime'
in other words, 'Tortured to death'.

you wish to turn away
to not see, not witness
evil.
Evil visited on the protester
born of the Universe
a brother, a sister, a child
a family wanting to lay to rest
their loved one;
in the face of evil.

when you enter a library
its not just the books
its the shared silence.

travelling blink of an eye fast time span
counting down the feeble flesh age
waiting to be ****** into a Black hole

reborn somewhere alien,
alien to oneself
somewhat alien to all this

some look at me like I am an alien
and I realise
In their minds I am alienated

Invasive species ?
I wonder how the Earth felt
when we arrived from outer space.

Ripped the heart out of the land
and ripped out the heart of Man.

He stumbles over what he cant see;
because its been stolen and sold.

Started life an alien in the womb
then alien to the womb
finally alien departed.

cannot remember a time without war
no wonder Hollywood always portrays us as at war when it comes to aliens
and real aliens: their intelligence would tell them to stay well clear, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had been doing just that for centuries.

trying to make it in a political landscape
shaped by the speeches of a political class
who live in a completely different world.

always found women a bit scary
must be rooted in the,
'coming from different planets scenario'

aliens keep knocking the door
but I am not in the market
not for anything....

and being experimented on is a definite no no

for a man the thought of being pregnant is so alien
he needed an alien companion to give birth

digital heart beats
and strange interstellar
conversation
Hello are you open to love and procreation

I know you have fifteen legs and two heads
and I come up quite a bit freaky
but for the sake of our babies
Hello lets get married

we all speak alien
and think

we are the only aliens

look up from the drudge
- how vast the sky!

now the sky lives in your heart!
- a lifelong love affair.

nothing can beat experience for an education
and you are experiencing all the time
-do this and this happens
do that and that happens
but deciding what is profitable
as opposed to what is harmful
now that will take a lifetime

I want to be counted with all the sinners
law breakers, gentiles and savages

if I am not in need of a saviour
then who the hell will save me

from a lifetime of sinning

a person goes a long way on two legs
made for walking, to saunter, to run
to creep, to stalk, to hunt.

Getting old and older
you get lighter
as you let go more and more
your self delusions.

She comes to me gentle as air
within the silence of an obedient heart

who sings of love whenever she is near
and reclines in the darkness of faith

- a light too bright for mortal eyes.

action and words

nivek Jul 2024
Star-shine runs through each molecule
engaged in ancient transformation-

a dance to cosmic music
eternally aligned in voice

- a song united to the ALL in ALL
Power of Love.

when time collides with you
you begin to listen

within this listening, long enough
silence will allow you to enter

everything has its song
and you poet needs must sing it

not for nothing were you born
not for nothing do you listen.

Clinical love washed clean with gasoline
burns your skin pink
its an abc you learned in the womb
- how to argue your way out of a tight spot
with a lit match held tight in between your thumb and finger.
Its all relative where even the Sun is your brother
or sister who burns to death those caught in a desert
and the world turns with the turn of a key
while all mechanical actions take place
washed clean with gasoline burns your skin pink
and clinical love is a lit match held tight in between your thumb and finger.

come up for air
coffee

now misinformation
in a twenty four hour world.

I cannot talk to you of silence

I will meet you there

embracing all she has to give

we will share secret places

experience a touch of heaven

and unity will prevail a little deeper

something sappy, sugary sweet
throw a bone to the wolves
a little meat sandwich for lunch

I see ink stolen from my mouth
you climbed right on in
didn't even give me a like

something honest, cut to the bone
I bring a curse down on your house
a little disease to set you right.
nivek Oct 2017
some things come easy-
rather sometimes poet you are taken easily

you ride and conduit poetry

your part as always
is to put yourself in the way

a little effort, a little time
-there is nothing so nourishing

a poets spirit
Oh so much!! needs poetry!

its ok to have doubt
but a little faith
gets you the whole way.

what plane of thought do you live on?
what 'way' opens all horizons for you?

Doors open, roads become clearer,
for fleeting moments the veil;
a little less opaque
falls from thirsting hearts,
and you stride into the future.

Brief and briefer still
a little life
and thoughts of Man.
