PEAK SOUL
Suddenly the price for my soul has sky-rocketed
far beyond my innocent expectations

Greek Offerings
I know just how those Greeks must feel -
When I went down and out
and asked for no more than a cup of tea

BEWARE THE MUSES’ KISSING
When, after aeons of neglect, the muses get in touch, their kiss
To resurrect is a curse as much as bliss.

NOW – OR NEVER
This time
poetry won’t do. To get rid of this passion

REQUIEM
She died on Sunday while
the Sun was eclipsed in Northern China and I
was contemplating suicide
...
WALK LIKE A MAN
You say you love me to excess, but
you don’t walk on air
...
When we are together
Do we cast shadows
or are we but spheres
without reflection without
footprints?

SIREN SONG
As you sit on top of the world
overlooking Mount’s Bay,
sun-swept and worshipping

Since I moved in with you
winter comes earlier each year
with goodnight kisses as crisp and clear

The Best Poem Of NurViktoria Ellen
Peak Soul
PEAK SOUL
Suddenly the price for my soul has sky-rocketed
far beyond my innocent expectations
of fiscal freedom
I can taste my independence – elusive and spiced
with transatlantic promises
of pension plans, security for one and all, higher credit rating
my whole future smoothed out hyped upgraded
In this world of ever-more of everything-turned-commodity
spirit
is a limited resource
all-too-soon consumed by our burning obsession with twenty-four-seven
profits.
All your ambitions for my career in your portfolio
materialize
with this hostile takeover of my integrity
It’s a steal and costs you no more than
my peace of mind.
What if this petty crime against human decency
turns my dying dreams into nightmares?
Who’ll listen to my objections
to trading secrets and collecting obscene dividends?
This is
one offer of dodgy money I reject at my peril
It’s quite clear:
If I resist temptation
and refuse to seal this dubious deal with lofty principles and mean spirits
everyone will lose out
Conscience is for wimps, loyalty for dogs and guilt small change gathering noise and insignificance
in your pockets
and dropping through the holes in your philosophy
I quickly learn the rules
Dignity is a luxury we can ill afford
when trying to survive in the empire of cynics
I see myself selling out - cash for no awkward questions asked
Finally I have arrived
in what passes for the real world
Now what is left of my soul is at a premium
going going gone
to the fiercest bidder.
