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

A cultural cup of tea


Coffee isn't my bean but give me tea leaves
A cup of cha do la not cocoa ta no ta
Brew me up chuck no Italian espresso like muck
Caffeine in the shape of a tea bag in a mug glug slug glug
Two sugars please love as I wink to see her breast in the gaze of my eyes pleased
No Darjeeling just plain old tea with a tea spoon and a bag to strenuously squeeze
A British moment of the day that almost everyone lifts their cup and elbows to the skies
I am an English man and I will have a decent cup of tea because it is in my cultural rites
Peter Kiggin Oct 2017
A flower

I dance around a ring of fire
Smoke plumes my desire
I am for hire
A high bird on a wire
Slender is she my maiden to inspire
I love her madly deeply molton lava
Throw away your hopes you need only her require
I watch you shower and I want to devour
Still running around her getting higher and higher
She has no heart only does she acquire
Strange affliction of the disturbed once beautiful flower.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
A man walks past and he looks like me but he's wearing a suit and tie
The rain pours down but I keep playing my guitar for reasons I don't know why
I laugh as I watch all the people running to stop from getting wet because the weather man said " it's gonna be hot with the wind but dry"
The streets are shiny and gold like Alice had walked the road as I listen to the drains that take the water to a river were frogs jump around and butterflies gladly fly
Everyone's living but they all look comatose
Everyone's dreaming but they won't wake up till the alarm bell goes
They wear the same clothes every day but it doesn't matter because nobody knows
Life goes on but frogs are the best except of course for the toads
Fascinatinating way of writing
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Alive and Living

You are alive and you're awake
You are conscious of everything around you
You want and you must take
You are given a mind to
You move to control your state
You change while nothing can do
Every part of time has a mistake
Growing and learning for truth
Open your soul feeling your ache
So misunderstood is our youth
Too young to ever forsake
Open your eyes to see through
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
All consuming

A space in time that's remembered because it reminds you of you.
A person that changed your life and illuminated the truth.
A word that was whispered in your head while you slept right through.
A noise that encouraged and subconsciously you grew.
A happiness felt inside when you didn't want it to.
A star that shines up in the sky and forever in your mind's eye view.
A picture on a wall that makes no sense at all but all the time you're changing deep inside you.
Peter Kiggin Sep 2017
All is for one and one is for all
We've got to choose a path that is fit enough to call
All of the people who stand in front  of a prejudicial wall
Death is used as a bargaining tool to rise till a fall
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
A Mind to expose.


The midnight zone where creatures roam;

on the vast moors that surround you or is it lurking underneath a stone.

A death defying monster could be in his cave or is he in your home;

in the darkness, things can change from knowing quickly to the always unknown.

The feelings strong that there's a presence but you're sure you're all alone;

a mind of faces to haunt you while synapses have transmitted and grown.

Creaking floorboards and a dripping tap and your blood inside your veins have rapidly flown;

It's stranger than you think when the mind centres to those that terrify but not necessarily shown.

An image in your head corrupts every nerve in your body to the point of stillness when imposed;

an imaginary line that you've crossed without knowing and imagination has you in its grasp completely and utterly exposed
Peter Kiggin Sep 2017
Angels
Angels walk along our streets just like normal people you will meet
They suffer more than most for the good and bad things we'll always boast
Gods own invention for the prevention of mere mortals from flying into convention
A host of colours bright in your eyes to give you inspiration and a sense of communication
Most inventions are by Divine intervention and a little sense of self preservation
A willingness to compete against other mortals for a place in the annuls of time for all an inspiration
Don't you see that you have a brain that thinks of mighty intention and wings on your feet to show no bounds of destination.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Angels tread the Earth.

The silent night the morning sparrow;

the sunshine sparkled in the air.............


The kindness that I have to swallow;

your blue eyes looked at me to care...........


The gentle sound of the winds blow;

the daisy chains you wore around your hair..........



I'm so in love my heart over flows;

the rainbow colours tell me you're always there............



And as I grow old this I'll know;

that while I'm breathing angels tread the Earth.............
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Animals in the dark,
A smell of slight regard,
tainted like our hearts.

hands together electric spark,
savage from the start,
emotional and physical yet apart.

the night comes,
feast ,
animals in the dark.

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
Peter Kiggin Nov 2017
Another name


Cry little boy for soon this will make you humane
I did not know what I'd done wrong but later it was clear in pain
The song in my head was playing over again and again and again
My soul so sad I felt forgotten just standing drowning in the rain
Emptiness is an empty vessel that I'd drunk just to ease the shame
I feel inside like a forest of fire when it spreads with just one flame
You were my only baby and I to you are just another name
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
A quiet moment in time.


The quiet respite from all that surrounds.

a quiet moment of magnificent clarity of mind

a quiet moment of the greatest possible fascination and awe inspiring kind

a quiet moment to drink in the worlds achievements and also sorrow left behind

a quiet moment to feel the pain and suffering that starving and homeless and battered children to be found not wanting or help denied

a quiet moment in time.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
A slow drink humming

The golden sunshine over a sea so calm all crystal blue
A white flying seagull soaring higher than a helium balloon
I smoke a cigarette as the face of the moon came into my view


A long tall drink of a cocktail made with some whiskey and a little Caribbean juice
This boat comes chugging into the harbour and I start a humming as the palm trees blew
My beautiful woman sitting on the sand looking to see the sun setting over the rocks past the orange wavy dunes


I can't stop humming to the sound of the water and the visions of the colours in my perfect hue
A fire is burning on the beach and the food is served up to everyone as they get drunk on the day that they once knew
I'm a man just sitting here watching as the world keeps on turning so I'll guess I'll keep drinking and a humming till the morning comes again a shining through?
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Between the reality and light

Shades of colours are we
Maybe I'm as blue as the sea
Everything is the colour it is meant to be
We are looking through the eyes of a dream
I often think of colours like emotional degrees
When I do the world is just a picture that deceives
All the places I have been to are all a shade of pigment it seems
Saddest thoughts are memories that you can't change because of your consciousness in means
White or black the mood is chosen to the wildest of screams
A broken piece of glass shatters upon the floor I see the dark red once more as it gleans
My hands are stretched out wide and I am floating on a white boat with flowers around my neck dripping blood and lives are but streams.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Beyond the universe

The affirmation caused by a single moment in time
Pacification is a defence mechanism when crossing the line
To control the mind you must ****** suffer and make sublime
The face of the monster is just a fiction to what really defines
With out the creation, there would be no points from which to measure dreams to find.
Peter Kiggin Sep 2017
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
Peter Kiggin Oct 2017
Broken wings

The only thing that is so clear
Is I had you once so near

The evil monsters in my head
They've trodden on everything now it's dead

The memories make me cry
I am discontented no matter how hard I try

I wanted you more than the Earth the stars and moon
I never got to show you how my heart died so soon

I became a prisoner in life
I am a hopeless case of sacrifice
I wish you well as it cuts me like a knife
Peter Kiggin Oct 2017
Butterfly Net


I flew as high as a man can get
I crashed down on the earth all soaking and wet
I thought flying was easy but don't ever forget
I never thought you'd leave me and your mind was set
Fickle how time catches you like a butterfly net
Now will never be again and the future is yet
Trust what is in your heart and everything else reject
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
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Caribou Crossing

Caribou crossing on the main road in the early morning
His eyes are so wide and clear as if he could see the whole world dawning
Tall and sleek with huge antlers born of protection and a slightly bearded mouth calling
He is animal of ages past and my feeling is that he belongs there without humans gazing
We know nothing of how his mind works as he us and that is nature both evolving and protecting
Many secrets do animals have and only by watching you will learn there is logic in all existing
The Caribou and many other animals won't be long for this world I like to think because we are not worth the beauty and gracefulness of their being
Peter Kiggin Dec 2017
Circle

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
I don't quite know what happened maybe the laughter caught the breeze
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
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.
Peter Kiggin Sep 2017
Conditions have changed

I need love love love
In my heart heart heart
I feel I'm walking in the dark dark dark
need a hand to hold need a hand to hold I need a hand to hold
I feel so deep so deep so deep
I can hardly breathe breathe breathe
I wake and I see see see
It's not me not me not me
It will never be me me me
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
Could be wrong

Filling the air with inspiration
Stars from the street light constellation
Journey into space exploration
Wearing a smile full of situation
Call your mother for graduation
Rush of blood to the head of verbalization
Ticket to ride to Paddington Station
Mountains are full of inclination
River so deep into speculation
Sun so sweet causes saturation
Bastardization of the population
Peter Kiggin Oct 2017
Cruelty


Cruel is the heart that gives and taketh away
Cruel is the hand that helps then let,s go because of a mistake
Cruel is the dagger that stabs you in the back then claims a stake
Cruel is the intention to protect my brothers then fall in our wake
Cruel is the World to live in with no food and water to sip to take
Cruel is the emotion given to people who lie in their beds silently without a single ****** shake
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
Deep river....

.. ..

.. ..

.. ..

A deep river runs fast below beneath under eyes see....

.. ..

It carries it drowns it is and it always shall be....

.. ..

This river reminder of lost things and the finder of dreams....

.. ..

A tree bows lower as the river whispers to leaves....

.. ..

An animal feeds better down the river as it breathes....

.. ..

A boat on the water drifts to its meandering waves pleased....

.. ..

A swimming disaster as children cannot fight what they cannot conceive....

.. ..

A river in summer is quiet as cherry blossom scents to come smell on the breeze....

.. ..

A dog splashes around as we lay blankets and eat jam butties and sip our warm teas....

.. ..

Drift full bellied to sleep as the river passes by and you dream of hearts so free.....

Destiny


A great happiness beheld me in mind for all eternity
Two people became as one like huge stars colliding fantastically
Light will burn forever from such energy and brighten the sky ceaselessly
In time and space change happens with a minute degree to change everything incomprehensibly
Some say only you can change your self into someone better but they are wrong as hard as we try we cannot change unless the world changes too in harmony
Like an everlasting love for one person can never change maybe the love he lost could change like nature being re-born every day differently
I still look at the moon and think of your love was that not destiny.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
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
Peter Kiggin Dec 2017
Drink

Drink this wine together from the vine
Transcend our time
We're drunk and feel sublime
Absent are bad memories only good ones shine
Childish rhyme but truth I find
This was a crime asleep when I should design
Soon he'll be blind
No roadside signs
Only my teeth to grind
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
Dull

Elephants mascarading as plastic Chinese dolls
Fox tail daffodils are waiting for spring turn sacred skulls
I find the secret garden were dogs play with their squeaky plastic newspapers tugs and pulls
A dead fish on some stainless steel amongst the ice as eyes look back and tell me if life is beautiful
A million Lobster soldiers with nuclear bombs shoot the sky to end the futility of everyone who ever lived and died then dull.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Dying  embers

My feet are drying near the fire in this meadow
I have travelled far to only find my self
I have cried along the way
I'll be seeing you amongst the butterflies in sunshine clearing through the misty fallow
We will see a brand new day
I'll build a house where we shall stay
The time is wounded by my ever growing lasting of my shadow
The eyes I once knew are old and swept away by tears deep and now are shallow
So I'll look for you no more than if you were a dream I had to wake
Looking at you was the most beautiful light of a morning rainbow
My feet are dry and what was once has gone to the grave.

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.
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
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
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
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
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
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.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Eyes burning


The will of man to constantly develop yet this world is crashing down

Individuality is a creation of man himself, not the landscape he changes around

The imagination is far greater than any one factor that can be found

We do not realise that the Earth will tire of our infestation which we cannot be unbound

This concrete jungle is the end of a highway on which we build more concrete towns

I see more and more regurgitation of simple ideas being ***** and sold by rich clowns

In the beginning of humanity surely we should have decided to stop lying and take money out of the equation some how

My eyes burn to see what is happening to the world right now.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Flowers on the Beach

Flowers growing on the beach
Some flowers are peachy pears
Some are long and slim and sleek
I swear I love every colour there
Especially with long blonde hair
The waves are gently lapping at their feet
One two three they are in my every heartbeat
I can't take my eyes off the curves that meet
The shoes they wear are crippling me just watching makes me weep
I rub some sun oil on because I don't think I can take this heat
Flowers growing on the beach
Just lead me there .................yeah .............yeah...........yeah
Peter Kiggin Oct 2017
For not to love but to hate

This is my reflection
Just another sideshow distraction
From being all alone
This is a natural reaction
Just another drawn out attraction
people talk in a different tone
This is a very small fraction
A small casual demonstration
Fools forever etched in stone
This is a passion
This is a mission
Lose your mind and then you lose what you own
Peter Kiggin Oct 2017
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 .
Peter Kiggin Oct 2017
Gradually


Gradually the sun starts to rise and it's not nearly so dark
The worst and the best things seem to remind us that fragile is the heart
Most people are still in their sleep dreaming of years when it was always playtime from the beginning of the day till the sun sets over the trees then blue skies depart
Oh how I wish that children didn't have to grow up and learn that dreams are just that and sometimes your world falls apart
What I wouldn't give my love for that kiss that lit the spark.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
Handle with Care

Someone save me I'm in a lot of trouble
I walk the streets and see a blue green blue bottle
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
Peter Kiggin Sep 2017
My eyes move over the beautiful mountains beneath the sun
Although they are treacherous I am pulled to come
Beautiful faces are the same but explain why they need so much attention
Vanity in objects of desire often seek but you start to run
Don't hide away because the less you see then the river will flood the landscape hum..............................................................­..
Two souls in the wind.
Peter Kiggin Jul 2017
I am

The final grinding ***** to the sea
A river ventured but not the way it should be
Remember just floating natural and free
My eyes were never clear enough to believe
My beautiful world turned into shattered dreams
I know death will bring me a soul of pure peace
I will I am I cry I sink into the sea
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
I craft


Another day is slipping past and I don't know whether to cry or laugh

The world is for me just a mirage of a scenario that eyes came over once to cast

Nothing ever means that much to me or is it something I just haven't seen or forgotten when I was here sometime last

I cried today to know what could have passed or was it a dream I had that could have happened but only by me today I help to craft
Peter Kiggin Nov 2017
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.
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
If I could.




If I could.




If I could move to the heavens and the stars and the moon


If I could rise like a mountain from the greatest desert dunes


If I could look at the devil and make him change his tune


If I could share all of the natures devotion and make them see it like I do


If I could cry with such conviction that the world would turn blue


If I could lay amongst an arid land and turn it into the garden of Eden for you


If I could walk across a battlefield and stop all the killing just by dreaming it true
Peter Kiggin Sep 2017
I know

Time you must keep hold
Because the future won't be told
And you have to be bold
As another door shuts behind you

It feels so very very cold
In the days that were sold
In the far past we all were told
You seem warmer for the memories ringing true

I have looked through the key hole
The beginning and end are closed
Everything in the middle is fantastic and very old
Only words couldn't describe you I know
Peter Kiggin Nov 2017
I turned into the saddest shade of blue
I couldn't bear to look at you
I knew you were,t happy too
You hated me and I hated me too
I'm sorry I made you cry not knowing the right thing to do
I grow old and I, ll never know someone new
An apple fell to the earth and was bruised so much no one could help anyone have a clue
You made me love you and all the time I'm blue.
