I can feel your pain
Don't hide the truth
Tell us out
Feed the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

We wont bite
Just tell you good
Hold my hand

Just let go
Feed the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

This is the club of life
Where good is good
Hurt is forbidden
Feel the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

Just one small step
That's all it needs
A life for freedom
Feel the love
Feel our love
Walk on over to the other side

Father dear Father
andy fardell Jan 2014
Father dear Father

Your music played on the radio
No words from these lips
I remembered the sunshine in your smile
A laugh that had me out
All gone down
A memory bliss

Father dear Father

The clouds were light,fluffy and soft
My grasp reaching to a faded hand
The sky blue gave me a lift
Till I looked over
Then I was sad
So lonely

Father dear Father

It's been a while yet still I pain
Still I want another chance
Another breath
My vision blurred by watered eyes
This cry
Your long long sleep

The Wakening
andy fardell Jan 2014
The wakening bore its fruits
Aches inside me still beating at these bones
Yet the bottle stays dry and my thirst
Becomes me

Why me
Surrounded in these walls
Why shout at my scream inside
A bloodied lip my only quench
Sends a shiver

There is no future when the world
Is painted black
There is no peace I fear
Only pain
Only sorrow
I breath

Happy New Despair
andy fardell Dec 2013
Well another year becomes an end
Yet fight we do to pay the rent
Scrimp and save to make it by
Money
World
My laugh
I cry

We fight for peace yet live for war
Religion feeds the hate
Deplore
Be oil bound
Or desert land
Fighting freedom
Media land

Adverts paid from the starving lives
CEO ..on dollar lies
Shakes my head that we don't care
Send us cash
No shame
Despair

Message from our leaders say
Here in Britain we all pay
(I don't see them hurting)
But for what my future
Battle plans
Oil
Greed
Starve the land

So I bow to the follow
No head I raise to show
I follow like the sheep
I'm told
The want
I know

I'll be that good and never shout
I'll be the one
Say yes
The world controlled because
I am
I follow like the rest

For hope

Please hold my hand
This Christmas
Hold my hand
This Christmas time
Let's fly the world together
Come share our love
Divine

Let us dance for the future
Let us dance to bells of hope
Just another
Wondrous Christmas

Scrooge
andy fardell Dec 2013
I cannot feel the love thats there
My Christmas failed
Bleak ended
All is fair

No sherry cheer or party grape
It's all inside
The dreaded
Hate

The songs I love now rattle hard
Slam the silence
Breath out
Loud

The sheep I shout
No more to care
You hear me now
Scrooge
I am

“Bah," said Scrooge, "Humbug.”

Black Christmas
andy fardell Dec 2013
I can feel the blackness coming
My Christmas ghost of past
Fake smiles all gone
I had it
No laughter
Gone the blast

No presents for a tree not cut
Or dinner for no guests
A lonely morning wakes for me
Just like it
All the rest

I wonder could I be more down
Would money make me laugh
Baa humbug to the happy crowd
A bottle comes
My drowning friend

And in my haze I call my mind
From times so long in past
When we all sat and laughed a lot
sang hymns from long ago
When we all wrote how good we'd been
The sack lay at our beds
The opening of the 4am
Woke parents from those zzzz's

This Christmas day my head all high
On smells from dinners feast
A place so full of papers ripped
No carpet at our feet
When grandad came with so much more we wooed
At grandmas smile
A time when all the family called
That was my Christmas smile

Now here I lay in bed I stay
My head been on the rocks
The house is
cold
All lonely now
The candles fizzed away
No cards just
dust
My memories
bust
It's just another day

Sara
andy fardell Dec 2013
Red lips painted from a frenzied white
For they had been waiting for a long time
Tears to scare from memories past
Yet now is the time
Now is the place

Sara it is you they want
When the clock strike the midnight
In the land of the lonely
For only then will they show their
Paint

In just 40 clicks
Whilst you are sleeping
For they will be there
In the hallway
In the cupboards where you hide your dreams
Under your bed
Catching your breath as you lay awake
Daring not to open your eyes
To the
CLOWNS

For they are taking you
Playing you to a fiddled
Madness
Enjoy your sleep my friend as the Forty strikes
Our beginning
your's the end

andy fardell Dec 2013
The glass stands empty
Waiting me
Wanting me
Needing my fate
The end is fallen
Tears all stolen
My cry filled in a desert never dry

I sit in a silence of remorse from my past degrade
I sit to end it all
I sit to fail
I sit cos standing aint my wake
Be the grass painted green  
So I be colour blind

Fill me up and let me swell
Be my poison
Be my will
For I am me and me am I
The world goes spinning
A wait until I ???

The glass stands empty
Waiting for the fill
Another me
Another you
Another had it all

Smiles
andy fardell Nov 2013
You couldn't see my sadness
All hidden from the show
A heart that gave up singing
Shameless.....
I
Know

The ache in my eyes showed no end
Wicked be my life
A meaning from no beginning
A start from no end
I lower my face
To a pavement not dry

So my life ends with
Been a nice day !!
Oh yes been quite pleasant  
The second swallow from the third drink
Shows my disdain
In my pity upon my fellow
As their time ticks away
The room of the dead
Await them

Well I'll walk away
Dry my eyes
Breath the air
And leave them in their wallow
Happiness
Comes
Life lives
And my end ..???

To Know
andy fardell Nov 2013
I hear the music play
And I smile
With a sound from a years gone past
My heart warms
And I smile
......................
How the crackled fire plays
From a time of yesterday
I see you there watching me
Loving me
Holding me
A mothers look
A care behold
My life in her love

Such a shame she cut me
Hurt the very me
Burned my own existence
Scorched this soul
Scarred for a generation
Left me
Cold

What could I have been
Now
Then
Would I have life
Bore from a kindness
Alas I will never want
To know

For now she is gone and my eyes hurt
A little less
Now I have a love
that loves me as I love her  
For she knows and See's my pain
She is there for me
She is my life

The Art of Love
andy fardell Nov 2013
The sonnet in my head bears no resemblance to the
Letters from my lips
For my eyes in this darkness sing
So sweetly of these days
A day when the moon lights the sun
And my heart beats to the rhythm
From the stars

My love how you move me
Like no other in this life
From your lips comes my pleasure
In the silence that you speak
Please sing to me that sweet sweet music
As you walk by my side  

Your hand feels so gentle as we waltz
Through the garden of my Eden  
In the eve of our night  
My desire full on empty
This unrequited love

One day when you see me
For all I am now
The heavens will become us
True love be it born
Let the stars sing out our glory

The Greatest Day Ever
andy fardell Nov 2013
I shook hands with my son today as we played
The greatest game of golf
Ever
Till yesterday when I shook hands with my bud as we played
The greatest game of golf
Ever
Then I remembered the last game I played with my father before he left this world And that too was
The greatest game of golf
Ever
In fact every single game of golf I've ever played has been
The greatest game of golf
Ever
And with all that in my mind I realise how everyday is
The greatest day in my life
Ever

There is no second chance
A time to wish again
Be sorry for my faults
So be there many
See the time
So today shall be my greatest day
Ever
As I turn to my wife as she breaths gently from her softness in sleep
When I wake to the sounds of breakfast made
Hear my dog prancing for food

Today shall be the greatest day
Ever
When I laugh in the mirror
At a face
Not pretty or fine
Yet today is another
To eat lunch all together
Watch footy
See our son play his best
How lucky
My test

Today shall be the greatest day
Ever
When we all sit at home
Laugh
Moan the groan
Say night till the morn
As the greatest day
Ever
Becomes
A new dawn

My Life
andy fardell Nov 2013
I don't laugh anymore
I just bow my head
Lower my shoulders
Walk in line for my pay

I don't cry anymore
I just hold in my sadness
Wipe eyes full to the edge
Just stare like my life means nothing

I don't care anymore
I just wave at the news
Sigh when I loose
Leave the door wide...open

I don't laugh anymore
Since you walked out my way
Now the world has gone grey
As the sun hides its rays
Dark the world

I don't cry anymore
Since you worded my hate
Did hurt me again
Gone the tears
Just my shame
Yet again

I don't care anymore
For I have gone was my
life
See the door shut to all
Yes this is
My life

Cold is the cold
andy fardell Nov 2013
This weeping child within me screams into the night
The light doth never shine
Nor the moon beam into my lair
Cold is the cold
That takes me

The darkest of days have come for my blood
And who am I to deny such
My soul is weak and my body cold
And my cry goes on

A sweet sound of my madness
Has bore its fruit of temptation
For I be the famished
The thirsty
The wanted
And so they wait
For its all to easy to fail
All to easy to walk

This faded edge so worn
Comes that much clearer
In tears turned ice
Please come
Please warm me

I only want your heart
I only need your love
I only want you
You
Just you

Suffer
andy fardell Nov 2013
My heart becomes the expired
As love leaves my cry
Each minute fails in a beat
Not biting
Nor bowing to the pressure from the sea of the enlightened
Watch my drift
Watch me drown
Watch me suffer in a pity bore from the fruit of the very land of begun
For I am the weakened
I am the lost
I am the never ending story
Wanting a found

The Poet
andy fardell Nov 2013
The house felt so quiet with only the hum from the fan
Cooling my only contact with the outside world
Only I could hear the pattering from the spiders run
From their frenzied night time feast
My spine felt a shiver
The glow had faded from the fire and my palms sweated
At the thought of my insanity  
Yet here I must write
Write
To keep the demons at my door
Write
To stop them crawling into me
Write
To stop the feel as they whisper into my silence
I close my mouth and scream

So here I write soliloquies
Here I write my soul
It's here I write my madness
The writing on the wall
A poet writes of nothingness
No meaning
Break the rule
The madness from the shadows speak
All quiet breaks

Poor the soul

The golden hour wakes me, I'd fallen yet again
All bottles have been broken
Empty for the drain
I wallow in my pity,the gallon drum awaits
Drinking for my future
Drinking for my wake
A poet so I be
Famously broken
Fabulous me

The house felt so peaceful as my normality returned
The writing left in front of me all ready for the burn
I seek another moments grace
Please madness come
Return
My writing comes that different here
An era that I spurn
Now poets will remember this in writing that they feel
A time for loosing all inside
A craving feeds the feel
It's hard to speak when no one knows how crazy that you are
It's poets talk we really crave
The
Writing on the wall

The Wait
andy fardell Nov 2013
The dark days come early
My eyes tighten to the fade
From the shine that beckons
Me to temptation
I wait
And wait

She looks
I wish
I wait

My needs wanted
Her faded eyes knew no glint
Of the future waiting
Then she smiled
The heaven and the earth lay before me
Was this my future
Did she just look

I wanted everything
I wanted love
Just look at me my lover
Please say you love me too
I've waited for the ever
Waited just for you

She walked away
And still I stood
I'd waited for my future
I'd waited for our love
This chance to change our future
Gone
Misunderstood

Sing
andy fardell Nov 2013
If ever I must sing as poets have
Then the world would be haunted
They'd find I was mad
I'd sing to the stars
I'd sing to the moon
No place on this earth
Could hide from my tunes

See my words sound on paper so wicked
and loud
Yet sing as I do
No poets allowed

The writing goes dancing all over the sheet
My voice in an octave
Not pleasant indeed
My shrill is the dreading of living in range
One shout of my music
Sends war from the planes
I've tried many lessons to
Be just like them
The greats like Lord Bryon
Keats and Miss Anne

Well I read the "Farewell"
Unusual for me as reading old lines
Means nothing but trees
She leaped of the page and incited
My views
I know where's she lays now
I bow to her muse

Three years I've been singing as poets would have
Yet all I find out there are
Wishes and sad
I want to send volumes for all of the land
I want to find gold
The never the grand
I want to sing out yet my voice
Goes unheard
I want to rejoice
My willing my verse
One day that I'm famous the poets will say
Please sing for us badly
As dead as I be  
And sing like an angel ..
My pure
poetry

The Brightest Flower
andy fardell Nov 2013
A flower held hand
As the young girl reaches up for her
mothers grasp
The reddest of velvet's reflected from
Tears on eyes
Her poppy
Stands proud and straight

She knows why she's standing
She know no return
Her father not here now
His never come home

He fought for his country
He fought for his life
He fought for his honour
His family
Our life

Remember this girl that cries every night
No father to hold her
Is gone from this earth
Yet she is the proudest
A daughter could be
Because of her father
Gave life
For you
...and for me

Remember

Remember what they fought for
Remember why they fell
Remember all the killings
The living life in hell

Remember what they did for us
Remember who they were
Remember all the people
That they did fight and fall

A day to show our pride
A day to bow our heads
A day to mourn our family
Lest we forget

Poppy Day
andy fardell Nov 2013
In between the hills lays a land of green green grass
Where the heavens made their love of life
And gods sung of such sight
Be the lands that they did fight for us
the green green grass

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

In battle times and truces found the land did best
It could
Yet all of them who fought for us they knew and understood
The green land see found their place to die for
Poppy's blood
A land we wished we all could live
A world of peace and love

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

Someday the land will fill our souls and peace will
Win the day
The green green land will be our rest god bless to all we pray
In those who fought so we could see the green green land this way
We praise and silence once a year

The Letter
andy fardell Nov 2013
The taste in my mouth came bitter
Words from these cold hard lips
Vented a fire
I was ready to lavish

So you closed the door
And all around me fell away
The heat that I drank from
All washed and pressed into
A letter

No smell of your perfume
A kiss missing pose
Just forms all in black
As I read into silence

My rock crumbled with every
tear
Failed foolery wished
A turn back the clocks
I have become the lost

An end that started so well
Fell before my weary sadness
Oh how I miss you
So silently I step away
andy fardell Nov 2013
All day had been spent in the trenches
The boy had been busy
His knife now blunt yet he was happy
The name was written
The gun all gleaming

The black hands had done their fill
And the boy was ready
The bullet had been named
And the boy was ready
He would sleep well tonight

A dream of the morning hate came to his reality
Stand too !!!
Stand too !!!
And the boy was ready

He took his position on the fire step
And the boy was ready
Fire ....
Fire .....
Fire ......
A white ashen man stepped down

My great Uncle never told me anymore about that day
Nor of the atrocities that were bestowed on him
Yet the few photo's I have sit proud on my wall at home
Along with his medals

We will remember them

The Clown
andy fardell Nov 2013
With my opened eyes the world came to my focus
Here before me through the glassed prison
Called home
The mist had taken control
And this was my wake

The world had lost its colour
My life had broken down
This heart was left in pieces
Last night I was the clown

Another faded evening
Of wanted love and care
Instead I drank for freedom
I drank because I dared

At first they wanted friendship
A happy place to be
The drinks all round god bless em
Until the wait and see
Until the wait and see

My inner man did show them
The real one inside
All plots are going broken
I'm ready for the ride

The last of night was over
My head did bow in shame
The dawning of the future
The mist did lay its claim

So now I wait
Let the mist fade  

Give me peace for just an hour
Release me let me free
Let me free

Em
My god lives with em
She likes it when I smile
Look up at the blue
Squint in the sun
Roar when I run

Inside I feel em
Yet she knows I know
No morals
Lost
Just respect
Not for show

My cross aint for real
No burning
Just the em and god
No big deal

See I am the one
A one for the all
There is no beginning
It's all a big fail
See I am the dust
I am the present
And I be the future
I be the life

A life from the past is the way of the here time
No hidden for genders
We all breath the lifeline
I am
Em
I am my own

Pain
andy fardell Oct 2013
Your heart will beat a million times more than mine
My hand will hold you here
My love will dry your tears
Take your pain
Hold you tight

I know not really why i say those means
My mind goes crazy it beats me deep within
Scars my soul from your thoughts
Breaks my heart
Tears me ....... halves

One dance is all I ask under a moonlight shine
Tango in the silver sun  
Hold me
Let me hide you the pain
Let me breath you a life
In time
Live again

Sad eyes
andy fardell Oct 2013
In her little black dress all covered in white
She looked at me and turned
Eyes away  
Eyes so sad
Waiting and needing a better place

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

Her love was lost
Gone
Far away and so the eyes sighed
A sadness
Life that told me a waiting
Wishing a better here

But that is not the now
Then is not the here
When is not the want
Now is not the need

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

My reaching hand held a chance
A turn away
A sound of silence
Broke my madness
I tried
Sad are the eyes before me
That turned and looked away

The Beast
andy fardell Oct 2013
The beast has returned
With a taste for blood like no other
My soul has succumbed to the devils liquor
And it tastes good

No inhibitions left for the trail behind
As my voice fans the fire of a fool and his gold
The weak shall not worry and the strong bemuse at my
Sadness and sorrow
With my head bowed I walk away
Broken yet again from the nectars wish
In my search for the freedom these chains do desire

Yet still I thirst
Yet still I want
I cannot hide from these wishes that crave my desire for freedom
Oh freedom
Sweet sweet freedom
How I crave thee
Leave me alone so I may live my life in a peace like all others

The beast has returned

Man Cold
andy fardell Oct 2013
So whats ya problem she shouts as I sit there sniffling in me own little world
Man cold ......I whisper
Uhhh is the response
Take some drugs and crack on I hear
Did she not hear me
MAN COLD .......

The slow shuffle from my seat to the kitchen creates a groan
Even the dog looks at me sad
Man cold ....... I whisper
I'm sure I see him smile
Pheerrrr
GIVE ME DRUGS .......

Ahhhh ...back I go to the safety of my chair in a walk so remote from my normal bounce
Man cold ...I whimper  
Blanket ready for a tissue overload
Remote cuddled and ready for the daytime dross TV
Man cold ............

Sympathy found they crowd round me to leave me unattended
kissed from afar ...I'm ready
Man cold .....party
All alone the switch is flicked I'm up and dancing
Man cold... prancing
Video games ....It's FIFA time  
No pots I'll wash nor face to brush
It's beer o clock lets party rock
Man cold .......

The toll is heard, my blanket wrapped to a weary sound from a snuffly head
I'm back she calls with sympathy shots
How ya feeling
Man cold ...I whisper...
Oh bless you please Ill look after you now
A cup of tea ...she is my hero  
Man cold ......

Remember guy's don't shout it out
Man cold rocks there is no doubt
Just keep it quiet when she does sniffle
You know the drill
Don't blow the whistle

OK love
Just going to the pub for a couple
Will you be alright ....!!!!
Yeah ...I won't be long!!!

So Maybe
andy fardell Oct 2013
The colour of grey in the sky reflected my own mood
Dark dank and miserable
No music cry nor screams or why
Made me feel

So Empty

Maybe the moon had brushed my tide
My life on hold
Like the tint in my tea from tainted milk
My life has  become the bitterness

So Angry

Tis my time to open the door
Walk out into the colour
Let the rain cover me to a shiver
For I have a chance
I have a life

So Maybe

My Love
andy fardell Oct 2013
Can you not see me crying
Can you not see my pain
In a beat the music comes a blinker
So here I lay

Green is the grass that lays in my path
And you turn away
Turn away my love  

No look to entertain
No heart to break
I'm broken
Broken to a start  

Let the music play
Let me melt into the crowd
Live me a little
Just a little love

So you can love me tomorro
So you can love me again
So you can stare in my future
My love be my end

Waking ....continued
andy fardell Oct 2013
My silent madness spoilt as the wind scratched the branch against the glass  
A reminder of the cool breeze of winter waiting out the door
The shiver returns

I should be used to this
4 am
3am
2am
That feeling of a world stood still whilst in my head the waltzers ride
Never stops

Awake  

So here I am again
Bound to write my own self destruct
Ink drying on a mind fading away
Lost from the found
I cry for my own failed fame

Awake

One day these words may help someone
One day these lines may heal
It's all I ask
It's all I want

Awake

Promise
andy fardell Oct 2013
I promised not to moan today
The feeling sad
The road to rage
I promised not to show these thought's
A promise made
My god
Oh lord  

I lasted but a day or two
The madness swelled
The air turned blue
I promised failed
A head in shame
My shout out loud
It's you I blame

Now some of you will laugh at me
But just you watch
I'll wait you see
Cos just around the corner here
You'll moan at something
Be that clear
And when you start you'll
Stop and smile
I promise you
A laugh out loud

Waking
andy fardell Oct 2013
My irksome mind begins its wallow
In the darkness of the moonlight glow
I stir to another turn awake

The place sounds still

I only wish my soul felt it too

Stepping up to the window I stare to a wasted view
The reflected pane shouts to me  
Horror in my face
My minds screaming silence
The waking always hurts

Til I be
andy fardell Oct 2013
Look at me
Look at me now
I'm still the same person
I'm one of the crowd
I look a little fatter or slim down works just fine
This illness takes it all in vain
I'm doing
Doing fine

I sometimes eat your head off
I sometimes rage I'm mad
I blame it on the tablets
I blame it cos I'm bad

One day I'm getting off here
Don't worry you'll be fine
Just hold my hand for freedom
Oh please
Oh please be kind

No ****** music drama
Or silly crossed out signs
Go rock about the ages
The V for victory sign
The V for victory sign

Now that is one big party
Where I can never play
Don't worry I'll be watching
The drinks are on the wake

So morbid I can be sometimes
But better I will get
Ya gonna have to wait a while
Cos I ain't leaving yet
My time on here ain't over
A pain that I can be
We'll celebrate another year
Till I be 93

Crying on the Inside
andy fardell Oct 2013
You cannot see the pain I feel
No expression from my hurt
Yet that look in your eyes makes me
Cry a little
I'm bleeding from my heart

Crying on the inside
Cry myself to sleep
I only want to hold you
Wake me from this dream

You turned the other corner
The reach was never near
Left behind I'm nothing
All hope
My dream
The fear

Crying on the inside
Cry myself to sleep
I only want to hold you
Wake me from this dream

And now the chair is empty
Just standing all alone
The cold has taken over
Ripping out my soul
Now your gone

Crying on the inside
Cry myself to sleep
I only want to hold you
Wake me from this dream

The Place
andy fardell Sep 2013
My inner peace draws a breath from the flowers
Stained in tears
There they lay cold wet and lonely marking a time
A wish that hurt all love
No one deserve
No time again
Only sorrowed brow
As I bowed my head

The weeks passed and the winds came
Time did not heal the open
Life for someone else remained in my thoughts
Memories of my home came into view
Remembering the blurred colours of my past
From the passing of my loved ones
Still the flowers marked
The place

A year passed through the seasons
Time stood still in someones house
A room now dusty
A car not moved
Clothing still scented of the past
And there I stood
Lonely
The flowers fresh
The colours of beauty amongst the
Sadness of the day
A mark now etched
As I bowed my head

Letters in the Alphabet
andy fardell Sep 2013
Letters in the Alphabet

To some words mean everything
To me its all in the music

You see Abc gave me that
Lexicon of love
And I could only Imagine what
Lennon thought
Yet Pulp gave it all for the
Common people
But Bowie was my Hero
Good old Amadeus Rocked me at parties and
Boy George never hurt me as my
Enigma would always return me to innocence
Whilst at the back of my mind I would
Muse to thinking Time is running out

Welcome to my hell
andy fardell Sep 2013
As you sip your morning coffee
Or tuck into your toast
Remember all the good things
And those you love the most
Cos this could be your last day
For giving up the ghost

So we'll celebrate you madly and sing to Elton John
The bottle looks quite empty as we
Celebrate your gone
Now your 6ft under
We'll sing to you your song
We'll ...sing.. to you your song  

You could fall out a window
From way up in the sky
Walk into a plank thats there
Drops you like a fly
I'll bet your just not thinking as
It drives you of the edge
The devil an the deep blue sky are
Really quite impressed


So we'll celebrate you madly and sing to Elton John
The bottle looks quite empty as we
Celebrate your gone
Now your 6ft under
We'll sing to you your song
We'll ...sing... to you your song  

A look into the heaven's
Or is this living hell
To wondered all this fuss round here
It's hotter and you smell
So welcome to the place I love
Welcome to our world
Welcome to this place called earth
Welcome to my hell  
Welcome to my hell..

Come back my lover
andy fardell Sep 2013
As the sun rises and the clouds clear from my mind
Come back my lover
Come back my way
Don't forget what we loved for
Please oh please do stay

The glasses full on empty all hope now washed away
I need you here beside me
I want you every day
Come back my lover
Come on back my way

I wish a new horizon in one we holding hands
Come back my lover
Come back my way
Don't forget what we loved for
Please oh please do stay

Four weeks and still I'm waiting our time is nearly up
My love for you is fading
I drink another cup
Come back my lover
Come back oh please I pray

A sigh of sadness leaves me I'm on another stage
Please call me in the morning
My love for you is grey

Come back my lover
Come back my way
Don't forget what we loved for
Please oh please do stay

The Label
andy fardell Sep 2013
Everyday they attach to us
They define our looks
Make our worth
Show our importance in this world
Yet what do they mean
They mean you follow

We follow whether we like it or not
The ***** on the street to the presidents men
Be it a fine wine or the cheapest ale
The label is always on show
Always there to prove your worth
Always there to show you follow

I don't like labels
My mind has a different kink
Yet everyday I follow just like you
Everyday I wallow in my shame
For being just a label

A label of sadness
A label for taxing
A label in age

And as my chuckle becomes a laughter
I feel that once again the label wins
As you read these lines
As you gather your thoughts
A new label is formed
For me
So it continues

Just take a look
andy fardell Sep 2013
Alas they returned
The faces of the silent
For they had been so very quiet for many a year
Hidden yet on view
Waiting for me to stare
A look in that special way

I'd seen him in the carpet
Just a face
Silent
Quiet
Just a face
Looking lost
My spine gave a tingle

I never know what they want
They never speak
Nor shout
Or leap out
Silent yet they be
Still a shiver scares my soul

You can see them too
If you want
Just take a look
They could be in your curtains
Or staring from your wall
The faces of our passing
Ghosts from time before

She
andy fardell Sep 2013
She
The bed lays cold under your heart
White sheets adorn the lifeless room
Yet the sorrow in your look
That lovingness from those black sparkling eyes
Shivers the soul

Still you wait the return
The day to turn to a burning russet red
Where all rules are broken
For she who controls the past controls ..
The future
andy fardell Sep 2013
This afternoon all clocks went wrong

This afternoon the clocks suddenly stopped
My father had died
I watched his vision fade
I held his last breath

My heart cried for just one more moment
One more word
One more squeeze from his cold pale
Hand  

The house became silent
Only the tears of my broken mind
Falling
Gushing
Deafening
My thoughts of a cold empty world
I knew was my place  
Life was over

The weeks passed as minutes
The months as seconds
My days now blurred to a
Fuel filled haze of sorrow
Washed in alcohol that never cured
The hurt

This afternoon all clocks went wrong

And my inner flower blossomed
My world became afresh
My purpose was all to see
It was my time to be a father

My time to show my son
My time for love
To care
My time to show him
Life  
My time to show the lessons
A time for life
Begun

The Corner
andy fardell Sep 2013
Alas the corner nears its bitter end
My wait is near complete
Twenty years have been
Waiting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!


I wait for your breath to fall
In my labyrinth of love
Touch my skin
Feel my heat burn you up
Wanting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

Gold is the ring that holds us tight
A wish
Our love
A feeling Right

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

Syria
andy fardell Sep 2013
There is no end to this madness
A world without a heart
This place that we're called humans
Yet humane we are
We're not

How can we let it happen
Our rulers play us games
A risk
A lie
A maybe if
To let our children blame

So stop the bombs and scrap the bullet
It's us that make them all
Instead lets work on feeding life
And curing all the poor

It's us that turn our backs away
Yet yearn for news in frenzy
See breaking news and nod our heads
I am a prole

It's crazy

They fly around and tell us
To work and love the rules
When war is near upon us
We follow
Who's the fools

Why can we not talk peace again
Unite the world as one
Religion forms
Yet money rules
Where has the love all gone

I only want a peaceful life
I only get one chance
Denounce the rich and share this love
It's time we took control


Let Syria
Have a chance

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She made me hold her closer
She made me laugh
I cried
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced all night

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She took my hand and held me
What was I meant
To do
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced with you

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight You held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

You had me for your supper
Be-spelled is all
I am
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I'll be your life

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight you took my soul  
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Blinded I'm the fool
