    The Apprentice

    In came she, the Apprentice, wanting to learn the trade of budding. Out in the garden, she trimmed her grass, first. She was green like a twig, but a perfect novice to tease. I watched her from the distance,looking...

    • Awesome poem Nick. Really cool image. I loved Ghost when they 1st arrived on the scene back in 2010. By 2015 I jumped ship. They were getting way to commercial. Debut is like a cross between Mercyful Fate and Blue Oyster Cult. Classic!

      • Everyone’s a critic haha. They are hit and miss for me. But I did really like Impera and songs like ‘Mary On A Cross’ and ‘The Future Is A Foreign Land’. I’m drawn to things that are different even if it’s not perfection. I also don’t mind commercial as long as it seems like a natural evolution. I do wish the lead singer had better rang though.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

    Real

    Real A dark ship on a dark night of soul Suddenly alight with Lights. Music starting to play Shadows beginning to sway Every soul having a Say. Vibrating into The skies. Everyone dies but But now everyone lives with daily rations of Passion. Breaking through ceilings with Thoughts & Feelings. To think to feel To be: Real ***Cipher Poems ***

    For Granted

    it's the story they've warned us about since the beginning of time you can be born rich then die without a penny to your name and just because you worked hard doesn't mean you can't lose it all you can swear you're sound of mind but...

    • And you are right…Nothing is guaranteed in life. Powerful piece. Nice work.

      • Definitely. I wrote this a year or so ago after my uncle died. He was a man that worked all his life. Was someone that was financially stable, and overnight got dementia and lost everything. Didn’t even have a penny to his name when he died. Just made a lot of bad decisions and was stubborn when it came to preparing for tragedy.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Yes ,this sound advice. No one is promised anything so you should be happy for the now.

    • Brilliantly penned, Nick. This is an incredible write my friend, and all very true. To quote David Lee Roth: ” There’s not much distance between a pat on the back, and a kick in the pants!” Appreciate you.

    • We only get one shot for all we know so might as well do our best to enjoy each day of peace.

      Thanks so much for the read, friend.

    • Can’t take for granted the privilege we get even if there are daily struggles.

      Thanks for the read, friend.
