Cry

Emotional Poetry : Cry

by Liam

As I’m washed to sleep this day

Wrapped, in wind, in waves,

Which share your whispers

My thoughts of you returning speak

The soft screech of a seagulls cry

A moistened eye as you look, then sigh

“Yes” I caught your wonder through the pain

Stillness, a touch, this felt again, like

The same quiet intensity of a kiss

On lips, first brushed with passions bliss

Is this true?

I begin to awaken in the waves of you

Swimming through my head

Into the dark warm sheets she fled

Images, memories I’m left

Searching for your direction.

What is NMPoetry?

What is NMP?

“New Millennium Poetry”

This writing is filled with one overwhelming and passionate endeavor. That being to express the invisible world of our humanity.

Everything in our tech world is described down to the smallest detail. When it comes to the sensitive and invisible world of our soul, of our feelings and our spiritual intentions, so many like myself are striving towards a deeper more profound understanding of life, this expresses the endeavour of my work.

When reading the content of my books “New Millennium Poetry Volume 1-3”, they’re divided into categories, which generally

describe our human condition. For example, love, death, birth, inspiration, spirituality, nature, emotional poetry, and so on. Within these categories, you find a colourful spectrum of poems, each individual and authentic.
When reading a poem, the idea is that the thoughts that they represent, the ideas and the feelings that are embedded within them and the imagery are not unique. They belong to the ground of our common human condition . Existent within each one of us, where we can discover and rediscover ourselves in new, dynamic, and more profound ways.

So, with these ideas, I present poetry, which has been written for a new paradigm of human consciousness, that of our emergent ‘soul awareness’, or ‘soul consciousness’.

Millions of people across different nations, languages, religions, and cultures are emerging from materialism and recognizing that life is more than just what we have, the joy and the love are about discovering who we are.

This is an awakening, a revelation so simple yet profound that it heeds our full attention, as the consequences for everything are manifold.
When it’s no longer about having and economies are no longer defined alone by growth, the implicit meaning of how societies work and within those societies how we relate to one another becomes a new emergent principle in defining life. Life is precious, valuable, and short, and an experience with which and in which every living being has the right to the fullness and abundance that we can all share on the planet.

The Ancient Mariner

Poetry Poem: The Ancient Mariner

Poetry Poem: The Ancient Mariner

To the wind and the waves

With the mast in the sky

Sails pulled taught and the seagulls cry

My home is the sea the storm and the blue

White clouds flying through the rigging too

The crack of sail and the cold flung spray

It’s the wide horizon on a windy day

Which calls the shanty to my weathered lips

Of whales and maids of pirate ships

Of tea at the hearth and a hot clean bath

The trick is over the passage past

The cargo stowed like my memories too

In a locked treasure chest

On my arm tattoo

To my dreams I’ll fly in the night to come

Where again I’ll journey the me so young

Across oceans and seas where I had the life

Traders rum and the whetted knife

I’ve done the turn

I’ve lived the life

I’ve carried the burden

I’ve had the strife

Now it’s time for the hot cupa tea

It’s my children’s children who listening see

Those days far flung

Far deep in me

The wave the wind the dark blue sea.

Prison

Poetry: Prison

by Liam

When it’s the deep distant chalice

You are reaching for

Take your hammer to the dungeon wall, free thy self

Grabbing the keys and run

Bolt, as if you are being born into the exuberance of color

It’s urgent, it’s now, it’s imperative

“For time is not the ticking of the clock,

It’s the writing on the wall.” It echoes

Remind yourself of this!

Manifesto, New Millennium Poetry of

Manifesto: Liam

As a creative writer, a poet and author, I feel my readers require a clear understanding and insight into my intentions, motives.

New Millennium Poetry, volumes 1-3 is a Magnus Opus of writing which springs from the idea that with this new millennium, across a broad spectrum of the worlds population, an awakening of consciousness is occurring.

A paradigm change from egocentric materialism to a new paradigm of soul awareness.

Expressing itself in social awareness, responsibility and an awakening to the spiritual , invisible reality of all aspects, of all life on earth.

This invisible world has been for thousands of years the genré of religion. Different religions, different cultures, different representations of one common invisible spiritual reality.

“New Millennium Poetry “, is a collection of poems covering aspects of our human condition. Written irrespective of color, race or creed.

The common ground being that most poems explore in simple expressive ways, questions which are common to us all, seeking answers, common to us all.

Poetry is an interesting way to respond to soliloquies concerning one’s personal quest to understand life.

The truth is, a poem will only awake within the thinking of its reader if the content, how ever unconscious, is already present. When a poem resonates with its reader, the readers intuitive response, expresses what is ready to become conscious. To greater and lesser degrees an audience of readers will intuitively respond to the content of these poems in their search and need to resolving meaning.

Poem Poetry: Ancient Africa

Poem: Ancient Africa

The heart of ancient Africa

Where wild the sea does foam

The plains the dust the thorny scrub

My soul it here does roam.

The breakers grind the ragged rocks

The shore line washed in salt

Of mountain far

Of high bright star

Of raging beast

Of insect cheeps

My soul this is its home

The drum of ancient warrior cries

Of spear the shield of hide

Of stamping feet of arms thrown high

It’s war that’s greets the long past eye.

My soul of this has known

The sun of a new day dawning

The moon of the night time done

The future star to hold my heart

The place I’ll never have to part

My soul, too this will grow

Africa is my calling

Africa is my past

Africa is my souls delight

Africa i call till last.

Poem: What is Love?

Loves joy is the wild laughter we together found.

Loves magic is the glue holds together when unbound.

Loves being is the silent power within all life.

Loves integrity is the truth which holds beyond the strife.

Loves presence is the quiet whisper  when alone.

Loves secret is the truth we share to build a home.

Loves home is the heartbeat which creates the ground.

Loves ground a fertile place these seeds are found.

Loves seeds we share throughout the day.

With everyone in every way.

Poetry: What is Love?

Poem: Seeking

Poem: Seeking

by Liam

In the shadows we wander, lost and blind,

But in darkness, is a truth to comprehend,

For within ourselves, light does ascend.

Seeking that truth we cannot seem to find.

No need to search beyond, no need to roam,

Embrace the darkness, let it be your friend,

And in its depths, your seeking will find its end.

For within our souls, the Light finds its home

Now we become the light that of desire,

In every step, we find the path to inspire.

No longer lost, no longer in flight,

For in ourselves, we find eternal light.

Spring

Poem: Spring

by Liam

It’s the leaves in spring, about to bud .

Which swell and greet the coming flood.

Of warmth, the splash in a

puddle of mud.

On branch, on twig, on every stem.

Chlorophilled life is hidden within.

A waiting blossom,

A patient leaf.

An insect becomes the quiet thief.

Will furl it’s wing, take to the sky.

The blossom, a bee to the pollen will cry.

An ode to glorify this day.

Its spring again, I t’s life anew

It’s bud, blossom and green leaf too.

In this all abundant way,

We rejoice and laughing say:

Yes! yes! Yes!

To the beauty of life, this day.

How to chill.

How do you unwind after a demanding day?

Yeah, few ideas that I incorporate during a busy week.

Take a warm bath or shower to relax your muscles and soothe your mind.

Practice deep breathing exercises or meditation to calm your thoughts and release tension.

Go for a power walk in nature or engage in gentle exercise to clear your mind and boost endorphins.

Listen to calming music or sounds, such as nature sounds or soft instrumental music.

Engage in a creative activity you enjoy, such as drawing, painting, or writing.

Call or spend some time with loved ones or pets, enjoying their company and sharing positive experiences.

Treat yourself to a favorite snack or beverage, indulging in a small pleasure to lift your spirits.

Practice mindfulness by focusing on the present moment and letting go of worries about the past or future.

Read a book or watch a movie that transports you to a different world and helps you escape temporarily.

Write in a journal to reflect on your day, express your emotions, and gain perspective on your stressors.

These activities were put into motion will enable you to chill. Liam.

Loves Affirmation

Sonnet: Loves Affirmation

by Liam

Love’s affirmation, transforms forever,

Transcends by growth, true love we spent

A mysterious desire, of insidious intent

You, the lover, and me, together.

Our hearts, our skin, our perspiration, entwine

“Berührung”, is us touching deep,

Enraptured by its depth, we leap,

This meaning reveals the divine.

Caught in love’s unifying embrace,

Amazed by love’s potent surge and power,

A bond that grows with each passing hour,

Transmuting us to harmonious grace.

It’s love, you and me, caught in synchronicity,

This our agreement shared for all eternity.

Sonnet: Longing

Sonnet: Longing

by Liam

In this yearning pain, love’s ardor takes flight,

For ’tis in longing here sweet treasures lie,

A dance betwixt two souls, concealed from sight,

As if our beings touch through veils awry.

What lies between us, is a realm unseen,

Where hopes and dreams they intertwine with grace,

A realm where magic, truth, and care convene,

And bind our spirits in loves embrace.

Do my feelings reflect the truth you see?

And does my gaze perceive your love’s decree?

In movement, we entwine, within emotion’s spell,

This metaphor of longing in which we both dwell.

Though distance may persist, our hearts remain,

Connected by the longing, that knows no pain.

Exercise

What’s the most fun way to exercise?

Day in and day out, Instagram overloads me with muscle rippling bodies, and supposedly simple ways to achieve them.

But now almost 70 years old it’s not what I’m after. my time of day is in the morning with the sun about to come up. I’ve got my sport shoes on, my EarPods plugged and an audiobook tuned in at the right level.

It’s powerwalking, it’s straining fast with intention, through as much free nature as I can find that invigorates body, mind and soul. Enjoy. Liam

best BOOK

What book could you read over and over again?

The novel “Dune” was written by Frank Herbert, an American science fiction author. It was first published in 1965 and has since become one of the best-selling science fiction novels of all time.

I know it’s silly but I’ve read it five times. It really is brilliant. Liam.

Finding INFINITY

Poem: Finding Infinity

by Liam

It’s when my body’s weak, not strong,

My breath, its flow, is soft and slow.

Eyes, they burn,

Onto my aching side, I turn.

Here, thinking is my feeling, Feeling thoughts which intertwine.

It’s deep to reach my inner speech,

Walk around inside my mind.

Those soft persuasive voices,

The conversation between Me and me.

The things I do,

The decisions made,

The here, the now,

The story played,

The wonder of a wish come true,

The simple fact of me and you.

Not time, but rhythm, a calling,

Words, thoughts, we dance, we sing,

Into the music of this space,

All quiet, absolutely true, this ring.

Gratefully gliding, moving,

We spin timeless to the floor.

Serendipity’s grin,

Eternity’s win,

Creativity’s cry,

Magical eye.

Grateful with this art,

Mindful mind, I see, not me.

Nothing, really firm at all,

Happily lost in infinity.
