10 spotted Ladybird
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
10 spotted Ladybird

The ladybird is a beautiful creature and when he sits on your clothes it means he's glad to meet Yah
I would search for the ones with the black spots
I'd catch each one and show everyone on the street what I'd got
Everywhere I looked I thought of the ladybird and all the spots a lot
Oh do you know how many spots you have and why
When you put your shoes on and pants shirt and tie
When you're on your bike just going for a ride
Do you notice the difference in things and use them to spy
If people stopped and looked at each other would they be dominant or come to see everyone is a being that has to try

Bird

Bird


I wish I was a bird which was green and the fastest bird you're ever likely to have seen
Sometimes he's in Jamaica then he flies to India for the cuisine
He always sits on a branch if you know what I mean
Look his eyes are bright Tangerine and a Blue Beak with which he does preen
He's been around the world more than the fat cats drank cream
Today he is in my own dream
Tomorrow he may visit you and you can ask him where have you been

Silver saucer shaped spaceship dreams.




magnificent silver space suit please;
as I journey to a cosmic galaxy full of extraordinary things,

floating endlessly in a kaleidascopic machine;
the void of space is insignificant when light beams,

a field of planets to watch as the spaceship glides into an atmosphere fit for human beings;
a glimpse of a world so magical like being born again but is it a dream,

I see oceans of colours of that I have never ever seen;
pink gargantuan dolphins jumping ten feet out of a purple wavy sea,

a land of such diversity and fruit on every single tree;
green jelly tasty and strawberry creams,

animals who speak english and say good morning and thankyou and beg your pardon if you please;
all different shapes and sizes and colours it seems,

I find opals and diamonds and ruby's in magnificent tall orange and yellow rock faces as high as the eye can see;
but I have no one to share all this with and I remember and wake from my dream,

eight fifteen in the morning and the alarm that satan made rings and rings and rings;
next time I go back there I will take a girl and we can go skinny dipping with the gargantuan pink dolphins and after we can talk politics to the bright blue owl that sits in the green jelly trees.

Complicated simplicity
Peter Kiggin Dec 2017
Complicated simplicity

The leaves have been here all summer,
Now it's time to go
Bare Trees look so simple
The branches are like veins so far to grow
The dark brown of the early evening Trees,
Looks adventurous like the birds that seem to hang around an old man's crown
Beneath lies moss and mushrooms
Dead trees all twisted around to look like your staring through stained windows
The ground is muddy and leaves footprints
Where to go to now
It's easily done to get into a different world
To leave is never so easy.

No one Knows
Peter Kiggin Nov 2017
NO ONE KNOWS.


no one knows



as darkness descends my sorrow shows

a broken heart forever froze

a sadness that never goes

an emptiness where love once glowed

a deep awareness of lost souls

a desert endless with no tomorrows

a shadow where a man once followed

a condescending word or look swallowed

as society does not care or share nor borrows

a few words inside my mind that always wallows

as light ascends there is no sorrow

as darkness only reminds me of the past and why in light beauty of colour always and forever knows.

Idolize


Light beams into my eyes to my surprise
Headlamps coming from the other side compromise
The noise of the road beneath me humming like prayer device
Sky black and trees a silhouette to light coming and going rationalize
A newborn baby's eyes are so fragile their pigment changes and materialize
If all the wonder is within then I don't want to see the sun again ever rise.

In the fullness of time


In the fullness of time means a lot to me
The quote means so much it helps me be
Many quotes mean a lot to different people for different reasons but my quote is the key
It will one day be said that the essence of life its self is locked within the words together like two that are different but identical when you see
We change everyday but the essence stays the same and this is the reason we destruct everything don't you agree

By a stream
Peter Kiggin Sep 2017
By a stream

I walked lonely down by a stream watching falling leaves
I stood silently as dripping water came flooding down the trees
I thought of you and your smile I remember as the wind blew chilly in the breeze
I saw you in the street with another boy and you seemed pleased
I was scared of you and all the things you do but my god agreed
Maybe you'll change one day and ride the endless dark blue seas
I was in love with you and you were in love with me like the leaves that fell gradually the stream has different needs
I watched silently as the rain came down filling the flowing stream and I saw you there but the song of the wind just grieves

Generations

There's no reasoning for what we have done
We beg for starvation whilst holding a gun
Like cattle we follow the morning sun
Scavangers only peck at the weakened one
In life it is the bullies that make us run and run
In death we can rest our souls amongst celestial drum
One day there will be nothing to be lost or won
A wasted line of many generation
I'm glad it will be over soon until then become .

New Day

The tea has gone cold but still, I drink it anyway
There's a lot of people being told but they pray for it every day
The world is stone like the inside of a fruit but we are the seed growing new fruit to eat so they say
A new life regenerating itself come what may
A billion choices of what could die and what will stay
I want no part of this experiment for the choice is mine to not make hay
Today a child but who knows tomorrow it will only delay

Earth we tread

Forget all that you have remembered everything that you read
It is all probably nonsense and lets evil into your head
Try to discover all these things and you may never grow old never be dead
Don't ever be afraid of people because they all seek kindness and want to be lead
Never pretend to be something your not and then you shall sleep well at night in your bed
We will suffer no fools no witches no charlatans as long as you say nothing stupid and listen to what's been said
Look forward to the future as the clock makes you believe we were ever here on this Earth we tread

Now I'm a Clown

I was floating around with two feet on the ground
I took what I needed and sometimes what I could
I was the king of my own town

I was lost and now I'm found
I was fighting the coldness inside my blood
Alone with my thoughts they alway get me down

I had taken some more drugs but then I couldn't hear a sound
I woke up in a hospital full of people who thought they understood
Now I'm a Clown...........Now I'm a Clown...........Now I'm a Clown

Socks and underpants floating past with a man in a canoe it's all brand new
We are all living in a zoo and the keeper says" you've not flung enough poo" what am I to do, make more poo
A signal heard today from Alien beings and they say " how do you do " I say mustard custard in my shoe pip pip toodle ooh

On Fire

A snowflake lands on barbed wire
The world emotionless stretched by a liar
A freedom of speech when its truth we desire
A preacher can preach but I'm not for hire
A ruling class made by slavery minimum wage provider

A monopolisation on everyone by very few rough rider
A belief is a dangerous contention when this gun is on fire

A huge breasted woman showed me how to bang
She said"just stick it in" and" I ******  her **** and I loved it and sang"
We drank wine and poured some allover our bodies began to lick each other like cats in places everybody understand
The black baby in the corner jumped around smiling in his blue jump suit and soon slept away to noddy land
She was a 6ft woman with jet black hair  and a body that curved so you could feel with both hands

Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Lights Hue

To consider a bright sun rising over the hills is a most magnificent view
To encompass all of your emotions when the orange touches the blue
The horizon is made and the outlines of houses and tree tops become clear to you
A town in the middle of England is where I came from with green fields surrounding and some woodland too
It's people all have an accent with which we communicate easily as we do
It's people all have tradition embedded in the brain from mother and father and grandparents share a few
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree is a saying that always rings true
The life I know is all I've ever read or watched and learned from writing with a pencil to being an army soldier who realised that shooting guns is as meaningless and futile if your heart feels love right through
Then to realise it's not love but respect for every living thing and why I could never stop loving lights hue

Early Bird Fact Magazine.




a fish in a river that's golden and green swims slowly down a daffodil stream;

and everything purple and so are the daisies as the pink clouds started an intimate dream.

a sparrow in a hedgerow was reading a letter from the Early Bird Fact Magazine;

and bluebells sang prouder as the butterflies floated caught by the sunlight that gleamed.

an enormous pipe smoking squirrel was mowing the grass on the old man's crown green bowling green;

and as I laughed slowly a hundred tangerine horses flew past me and then I jumped into some raspberry ice cream.

a mouse sat on a pillow and played his violin so gently and ever so serene till my eyes felt quite heavy and we both drank some milk then we lay back and watched the moon smiling and thought the world's not as bad as It first seemed.

Looking glass

Look into a crystal ball and see your future from the past
It's like reversing around a wheel that already knows to last
when centuries have all gone alas we look how stupid we missed our path
How did people meet and fall in love so happier it happens so very fast
The Witch looked at me and then the orb and she spoke then the spell was cast
No potion to drink or damages to a toad or rat that was it I no longer had the heart to feel with boom blast blast.

Bring me home and I'll go right to bed

for the little bird heard everything that was said;

return to yourself and judge not of what you have read.

The dormouse agreed and returned to his shed

with which the two pigeons consented and nodded their heads

and the snails on the grass speedily adjourned to cling to a wall or under a ledge.

The spiders could only digest what was caught on the web and the ants were too busy to listen but caught a little from the morning mews instead.

The dog had caught the cat and the cat he was dead.

Jumbled up mismatched socks

The show must go on between good and the evil
People want corruption because it's more interesting and some how for the rich it's turning out legal

So men who went to school with holes in their socks
Can,t carry on living while destiny is written on the clocks
The cattle market's open on Saturday and so are the shops
I detest what we are the haves and have nots
Lethargy is the solution for most who can't take the knocks
Idols false profits are all religious nuts
I almost forgot that the show must go on and the terror and humanity are chained together by the ****** same locks.

Pay

Pay
Why am I given some thing that I would gladly not have this very day
Why does it have to be this way
Humans destroy each other in such ungodly contradiction and why should any other have to pay
Crying doesn't help or take the pain away
The train ride is now safe and arrives without delay
The only problem is that the train after so much time is not ever going to stay
Time delivers many things sometimes over rivers and Oceans or by flight of the heart all you can do is pray

Done

A room with a light bulb switched on
An empty space was furniture would have gone
A window to nowhere because the world never shone
A frozen shadow was once light had ended before it begun
A door closed to people who never had wealth or education to choose a life of a web they had spun
In a corner was a book on a chair which told of wisdom and peace than another chair with just a gun
You decide what am I to become

Another dimension
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Another dimension.



Imagination is the only true dimension;

Somewhere which we can form an invention of perfection;

Without these facts there is no way to escape our own three-dimensional perception;

We all dream inside the fourth into which there is no lying or deception;

So tell me why in reality our brains cannot cope with the truth that everything is a ghost of time when we seek a higher resolution;

In dreams your perception is reality so you can choose to see everything without conformity within the bounds of banal unoriginal perpetuation;

I believe that in reality, many people choose not to see through what is shown to them to the path of experiencing a life that is full of journies unknown without unequivocal question

Yesterday I was smashing televisions up
Liverpool was winning the league cup
We went to Rivington on our bikes so's not to have to read our books
We'd lie in the hills amongst the buttercups and listen to the babbling brook
A plastic water bottle was all we took and on our way back home we'd race down the biggest hillside past the sheep and nodding ducks
Today I still have a bike but it sits in the shed under lock and key and I and my cousins never seem to see each other unless there's someone in the family getting married or are dead but we'll always have well life *****.

Birds circle around high in the sky waiting for to feed
The noises are familiar the children scream of greed
The beach is long and baron like the town turning just to thieve

Go down to the pleasure beach and you must pay to enter as people with sad faces leave
A world full of anger and no ride is going to help you or make you feel pleased

Watching You

Someone is watching you in the dark
A lamplight flickers a bright blue spark
Trees become thieves that want to take you and make their mark
Pathways become noisy and every bit of gravel you step on is an alarm bell for the dogs that bark
What you once sought is seeking you
In your mind your worried too
Helpless and ridiculous eyes look new
The older you get the closer it reaches for loneliness the ghoul

Milky Milky

The milk boy started along long time ago
When milk was delivered early to your door
Before anyone had got up for work or for some just as they hit the floor

It used to work on a small scale just rumours of tampering and would be blamed on the birds pecking to get the milks creamy end
Old people started dropping off one by one till ignorance couldn't mend
The city was a big place especially at night when shadows were around every corner under the moonlight then he would inject the milk with a substance untraceable a toxic blend
The people were always old the type of old man or woman that roamed the streets with nothing to do but wait until their clock went off in the morning and make that cup of tea which was always thought to be a milky friend.

Emptiness

Emptiness


The carcas lay on solid ground but no more a part of it as the future not yet found
A symbol of the wasteland on which nothing matters and even the winds do not make a sound
The driest and emptiest thoughts slip through my hands like the fine sand all around
Detached from society and all its comforts the grim reaper whispers time of which there are no bounds
Not lost nor aware of the mirage which is the temptation of hope for a new certainty maybe on higher grounds
Stillness makes me dizzy as no focus of a mad man can make me concentrate or figure a reality that hounds
To live or die is a terrible thing as feelings only hurt me and in death freedom seems possible as a carcas which neither is part of the Earth or not yet found.

Night

Black is the sky and stars shine so bright
Reach for the bright and far out of sight
Come to the light and all is white
My mind opens heights and I look down tonight
Far away from satelites and wood burns kindle light
No more parasites and black birds dance while in flight
Blue smoke surrounds I like and moss I sleep on pillows so slight
It was a dream of whites and black but until there'll be orange blight.

Me with me cornet ice cream dripping down me hand and me nan with a nougat wafer which looked massive in her hand.

But me I was appreciative of my cornet,I did,nt begrudge me nan.

Cause when I grow older I,ll have a nougat wafer,and me grand kids will understand.

I see your reflection in my mind.


I see your reflection in my mind as the sun disappears
Pink sky turns into blood that runs my wrists cut tears
Take me now before my mind turns and thinks of you my dear
The pain washes my mind and now I'm thinking clear
My soul turned black and my heart is weakened by a fear
I hit the needle and flew away to a place I can stay concealed
I beg no return only that the pain has gone in my mind the wheel
I was a prisoner behind thick ancient walls and a window closed with steel
I see her dancing like the devil around a graveyard and even the boy came to deal
I run I run...................I run I run..................the deal was already done
I layed upon a bed of waves that rocked me to sleep for a hundred years it feels
Morning came and I smell fresh air and the snow had left a sign on my window sills
A hospital patient I'd become because I saw things and heard things that I shouldn't think was real
The children know because the parents lie to speak of broken promises and how to teach them not to feel
Never promise what can't be done and never bargain with the devil because your mind will forever think of evil.

I am just an opinion but two rights doesn't make a wrong

The roads all go nowhere so where do we live and life is so long
The children all starved and they're dead now as people struggle on and on and on

Smoke plumes my desire

Slender is she my maiden to inspire

Still running around her getting higher and higher
She has no heart only does she acquire
Strange affliction of the disturbed once beautiful flower.

I have to go but the bird is always you in my mind's eye.

Emotional control



I fly high sometimes against the ever changing breeze

I swoop so low to rest my burning wings

I can see so much amongst the greenest trees

It just calms me enough so that my eyes can see

I reach far beyond the clouds for fortune brings

I can't help it because I have the strongest soulful feelings

My mind controls that which hopes eternal does not sing

My head is strong enough to keep what's really like a circular ring

I fly so high so high till another sunshine comes to settle all these things

All dreams have no conclusion
Is this why we live in this confusion
Find clues but no real solid solution
Like a chemist that makes an impossible potion
Most of us with little comprehension
Like the Lion that fights the snake is it better to be agile or full of power and precision
Weapons of the ****** form are interesting because they risk their lives with most decisions
Humans and animals can talk their way out of a physical confrontation
The spider makes a web to which other insects fall prey to them
We eat the rest because if they do not hold any defense against us but we gain sustenance then killing humanely is the far less evil conundrum.

Take another pill but this time it's double
Softly swim in a pond with lily pads and willow with brown stubble
A sky above so tranquil it encapsulates my body in a rainbow bubble
To drift away the black thoughts of everything that's a struggle
I climb out of the clear water leaving ripples so so subtle
A door is in front of me as I stumble then I open it with a handle

A hawk I've been following hopefully will lead me to a garden with white buildings carved from stone and windows of stained glass colour the interior like a fatherless child only with light to guide then you can truly see
Sit in contemplation in the centre of this building and things will be as they surely should boldly solely

Words said but not quite yet
Time-bound minds to never forget
That is why we try so hard and always regret
The things not done and the things that are not let

For people who never took that extra step
There is a God and he watches then showers us with mortal debt
The memories are a puzzle that your mind unravels accept, accept.
