Short Noughts Poems

Stuck in front of camera
waiting to hear the cut
Speaking words secondhand
And thinking all unthought
And letters old as time
cower in the shadow of forgotten
and communication
Just 
lines of ones and noughts...

For The Sea

By Nathan Hannen

There is a sea called joy and light, You let me know Im wrong and right
You live by this ocean of my thoughts, By the abacus bay with rows of noughts
Laughter heard, And laughter said, You are the thoughts in my head

The End....

Steal my dreams
Steal my thoughts

Place my crosses 
Place my noughts

Throw my dice 
If the game be snakes and ladders

Sign my name 
Tick whatsoever empty boxes 
you fear i missed

Plenty more where that came from
I am only just getting started

The best is still yet to come

To be burried deep in code on tracing paper...

I’ve searched the deserts of my soul.
Yes, countless miles and times.
Thirsting for a place where love
could quench, this troubled will.

And so, I roamed those stead less hills
on a camel draped with gold.
Glittering noughts, I had to give.
Love was mere wanton goad.

But now, I have (just) me that’s left.
And You, my thirst relief.
Oasis of this Magi’s tref
Love, cleanse this soul its grief....

We walked a while
To gather our thoughts
Our relationship
Has gathered noughts

My fragile heart says
He was the one for me
But its, the where have you been
His quizzing first degree

His jealousy took over
The good times that we had
As he walks away
My heart feels glad

But will i know in the morning
With these second thoughts
Our relationship
Were they all actually noughts

I am the memory that you cannot slip,
I am the smile that you cannot flip.
I am the shade that you cannot forbade,
I am the fire that cannot be laid.

Twirling through the train of thoughts,
You will find me in every cross and noughts.
Run as you might or wade away,
You will find me in every path you foray.

You see me in the shining sun,
You feel me in the soothing moon.
I am a memory that you cannot slip,
I am the smile that you cannot flip....

ON MY MIND

You are or were, always on my mind
Like a backdrop to all my thoughts
To have lost you now, I am resigned
My world is now ones and noughts
Another such as you I will never find
A shame how every memory distorts
Still having no satisfaction of any kind
As I ignore all those spurious reports
Of someone who once left me behind
My brain freezes as my heart contorts
But they always told me love was blind
As I saw a diamond without any faults
