Born a new day
andy fardell Dec 2012
The sky shone of a morning song
Colour's that showed earths delight
Red and yellows be
Sky's inferno
Born a new day of delight

Fresh is the air that waits
for all to breath
Cleansed by darkness
Fazed by dreams
Dreamy eyes awaken
to unknown

Woken from a deepened lull
Woken into mornings glow
Woken from a place
called home

Sky so wanted
So i could see
A mornings glow
A love complete

Look up high as stars
do fade
See inferno
See the blaze
bow to the birth  
A day on planet earth

Reaching for the sky
andy fardell Dec 2012
A sadness fell about these eyes
This was another day
Another wasted life
One look into the mirror as the old man
Stared right back

A glimmer of a past in life
Now hardness be in black
All clouds now full of thunder
No sunshine on my back

Memories dulled as day falls
Over  
Another night of lost
Leafed clover
Had seen the best in days
From nights not sober

Be friends lost to frosted haze
Blurred Pints of cash in tippled over
My eyes remember as crippled
Shaken hands
Show suns age wine

Body all bent to a bend to the
stick
Mirror look the other way
My world is in a spin
Fall into the earth
The time to reach up high
New life beginning
Reaching for the sky

Indicum Rules
andy fardell Dec 2012
Their minds are dead
Its in my head
No subtle notes
Just thoughts not read

They don't see
As I see them
No world of anger
made from red

Red is now the leader
Its follow or be dead
The leaders say its true
gone red in
crazy head

No stone to turn from
Hiding
No covers for your
Face
The blinded done demanding
Their hope all done in faith

They lead you with their lies
Fulfillment to the test
But why am I so different
A mindful in my head

I'll never be a part of them
Red not in my head
I'll hide amongst the others
My colour's hidden
Till Indicum rule the world

Faces
andy fardell Dec 2012
I close my eyes to hide
Faces looking,watching, waiting
My return to open near
Why me I cry
Leave me alone
Leave me mad

Each time my eyes do open  
I see them waiting
Souls from beyond watching
Haunting
Some laughing at my
terror

I see them in the curtains
I see them on the walls
faces full of people
madness be my calm

My gift or be my punishment
They speak just with their eyes
Looking,wanting,waiting
In my despair

Darkness of night take my eyes away
Relief from the faces
No light I prey
No look to come my way
Moonlight shadows beckon
See faces stare my way

In My Dream
andy fardell Dec 2012
In my dreams
I dream of smiles
I dream of peace
upon this world

In my dreams
I dream of cures
I dream that pain
be left this land  

In my mind
I want it all
I want the dream
we all live for

In my mind
I see the future
I want this world
to be our home

In my heart
I know I know
My dreams don't answer
My Mind is sad

In my heart
I know It's true
My dreams all lost
I'm done
I'm through

Liquid Life
andy fardell Dec 2012
I saw the sheets of steel
fall across the sky
The wonders of life
Dressed in cloud's

Darkness portrayed yet
New life reaching out
To smell the rain before
It's near me
To feel its power

Earth's life has new buds
About to bore fruit of life
Drops as big as rocks
bounced of the dry soil
Marking the earth that was so
ready to give

Drenched in the liquid of life
So simple
Yet so strong
Such a beauty to see life
Born to be free

Clouds open their souls
Do relinquish their hold
As earth takes a breath
to a new dawn born again
I bow to the beauty that
my eyes let me see

End of Time
andy fardell Dec 2012
Their minds are dead
It's in my head
No subtle notes
Just thought's not read

They don't see what
How or when
Yet lead a life
Of grin to pen

Mere robots of our
Life these days
In 84 we prayed
In slaves

It's here and now
The blinded lead
The new world rises
Gotten greed

The day approaches
Yet no sight
In our blinded washed
All out

Mayans knew our time
Was near
Time to count our blessing
Fear

No more dates and blinded lives
Words done fighting
This our life
Our end of time

Tomorro
andy fardell Dec 2012
Should day become tomorrow
A day that I should die
Would life upon this planet care
Would people laugh or cry

Would time go on un-noticed
Would people hold their breath
I very much so doubt it
My life now sudden death

Do flags get flown because I'm out
and nearly 6ft down
I very much do worry not
I bet no sudden frowns

My life is that a tiny ant
That ****!!
No longer there
I bet a younger ant like me
Be ready that I fear

In times gone past we hasten had
forgotten all our pals
Remembering of the dead we know
Yet someone filled their souls

Will we become a memory fad
That people just don't share
A stone inside a churches yard
Bare of It's love and care

My death will go so no one sees
a grief of family life
My friends
My love and closest ones
will say a last goodbye

Some time will heal those
wounded souls
Yet time will fade away
Leaving just a dusty stone
Crumbling day by day

Not Now
andy fardell Dec 2012
I felt a cold that touched me
It felt like death was due
So I pushed it out
It left me
My time aint yet
Blow you

A cold I really didn't like
Nor want or ever know
A steel
A feel
My  desperate need
To run and duck below

Yet heat and fire consume my health
A glow of such intense
Cold hands that touched my heart
and soul
I want a second chance

So live as everyday might be
The one that takes a shine
These hands around your heart
a feel
do grasp your very time

This grip thats got you good and tight
a vice thats not to go
So live as well as you may do
and don't be scared
**** hell

Alive
andy fardell Dec 2012
Do we die when we sleep
or do we dream a death
Do we breath in deep  
or exhale our soul
Do we wake and remember
or live be born again
I know not
But know some

Do we live so that others
be quiet
Do we die so that others
can cry
Do we have a point
I know not why
But I know some

Do we fight to save
a few
Do we love so that loves
shines through
Do we want yet need
so less
I wish I knew
That I know some  

Do you remember a photo
lost
Do you wish you hadn't
forgot
Do we care
I cry !!!
I cry !!!
I cry !!!

A New Day
andy fardell Dec 2012
Ain't it bright to see the light
A joy behold fresh air untold
The sun does shine so to a  
Warming face that felt so cold

Deep within the glow returns
A fighter
A winner
A breeze contend

Deep deep breath in as
Abode does take the chance
In a missed lost brace
To live a love to see my slave

Feel it sap the goodness in
And blow away that awful sin
So cry out to the sun above
Good to see and one to love

Our time to pray to its real power
A love
A hate
Do we devour

But for what can we not do
this day
The suns so darkness
Let light shine ray
Dec 2012 · 463
The Shadows
andy fardell Dec 2012
They creep and follow
Where none do go
The shadows hunt
The light no show

I felt them want to
take my depth
Reaching wanting darkness
Letch

Pray that light does shine on
through
The shadows follow
Wanting you

Feel their coldness
And be cold ..
Darkness has its brand new
Hold

Wrapping slowly round you go
Taking light and turning old
Wrinkles soon do so appear.
Aging you and breathing fear

Leave the light on
Do be scared
Shadows watching
Waiting near

Cold ....Part 1&2
andy fardell Dec 2012
Cold Part 1

Cold is the wind
Cold is in the blow
Blasting through my inner me
Like nobody knows
Feel it on my face
Tearing at my eyes
The cold is biting back and I just want to hide

Snow fall on the ground
Higher than the grass
All is white
All is quiet
Not a sound be-had

Footprint show the walkers dogs
See followers shiver on
Snowfall on the rooftops
As chimneys puff their song

Cold is the wind
I feel it through and through


Cold Part 2..........


The look
The view was one of awe
Seeing trees so shimmer
In slithers silver thaw
Crystal lights for all to see ..
Sun glisten from these objects
Dripping life's pure
A gold thats free

Meadows .. fields becoming one
As snow so white takes over summers song
To show its beauty to the world
Baron yet so full of life
The fields of dreams to keep us

We know that soon the spring will come
This life so fresh will begun
But not so yet as we so wish
It's winters blast thats in the mist
Snowflakes falling all around
That special flake so fresh
So astound

They fall so light
Gods magic touch
Fields of flakes of white and must
Gentle yet so pretty and softly to the touch
These fields of white from tears above
That we all do love.

Cold is the wind
I feel it through and through
Dec 2012 · 523
I Could
andy fardell Dec 2012
I could cry my tears away
For one kiss from your lips
One touch from your hand
Maybe a hug
Hand in hand
My love

I could hold your smile with a kiss
Getting tingled so
On my lips
cherry soda
My love
My love

I could call you
To call me back
Maybe meet
Have a snack
Drink some wine
Love you back

I could hold you
To hold my heart
So that we are never apart
My love
My love ...always
Dec 2012 · 308
Music
andy fardell Dec 2012
Music cry to my tears as I awaken to the sky
Teach me peace as I enrage to the fear inside,
Feel it's beat as you decide on which is wrong and what is right.
Time may wait as you turn to fight
The soul that holds you
Clinging life
Dec 2012 · 280
Do I
andy fardell Dec 2012
Through the depths my mind still wanders
Fighting
Facing hell on life
Feel the burden that all do ponder
Wondering?
What is the point ??..
What is the point ??
A smile
A laugh or tears of sorrow
Feelings so numb that none do care
Is this the life we fear
......i fear
Dec 2012 · 357
Truth
andy fardell Dec 2012
I feel the cold
The cold within
Fighting
Biting
A painless din

Creeping slowly
Yet full of speed
The coldness claws
My feet retreat

Mind full of emptiness
Yet spinning
Grasping
Past a faultless youth
Forgotten

Hurt inside
No pain to show
Oh I feel the cold
Can you feel its glow  

See the redness of rage
Feel it's anger
Burn you out
To a disaster

I'm the mad old fool
Itching for the real truth
Be my age
In my youth
Dec 2012 · 340
The Kiss
andy fardell Dec 2012
The kiss without the passion
That's how it felt to me
The lightest touch
The smallest peck
A feathers breath indeed

The fire without the rage
Passion was the key
A kiss without the passion
A real... fait accompli

A touch that had no loving
No hold or guarantee
No eyes to see
Just blackness
No life for you or me

Her look that looked
right past me
Blinded out to sea
The touch that missed the feeling
Life in misery
Dec 2012 · 834
Misty Green
andy fardell Dec 2012
The mist rolled in along the dusky cold green hills
Air so dead yet wilderness so alive and wanting
Waiting for the dread of darkness death
Predators hold

Teeth so sharp
So white
So clean
Waiting for the blood red taste
A longing from the devils breath

Smelling the fear
It's all around us
So so in the misty hills
Green is gone and darkness shrouds us ....
Time to run
Run from the ****
Dec 2012 · 373
Silence scare me
andy fardell Dec 2012
The silence screaming in me head
Give me something please
I beg
Talk to me so I may live
Silence deadened
All forgive

Inner rage yet outside peace
Wanting life to re-release
Thought my head would cope so well
Fear the silence
All not well

Chains so heavy
Yet quieter still
Talk to me
Hear me
Heartbeat
Fear me
Silence ..Scare me
Dec 2012 · 715
I Walked
andy fardell Dec 2012
I walked upon this earth feeling dirt through my toes
As gods tears washes life into the new
As I breathed another sigh the wind cried in my ears
Letting me know he was here
It feels good to see such beauty
To feel the sun
To hear the birds

One day this may all be a dream of the future
One day it may all be gone behind
One day I'll be to old to worry ..
As life passed me by

As I walked into my home
Smells hit me of love and hope
A doggy wet nose barking
Daddy's home
A cuddle and a kiss for wifey
Oh the bliss
A shout from way upstairs
Eh dad are you Ok

These things that take me there
A time in life
One day not there

No Christmas Cheer
andy fardell Dec 2012
Where did Christmas go ..
Where was my mo ...
Or jo
What happened over here ..
My minds gone
No Christmas cheer

I've left it all behind
The debt the beer
No more wine
Turkey clucking gone
Crackers stopped
Pop no more

Where is my Christmas cheer
I've lost it
Gone from here
Where has my life gone wrong
A failure
In a rotten hole

Wondrous light

This wondrous light shone us bright
amongst the stars ahead be right
over the hill for all its glory

beating bright a beacons night
lighting us the way
a path to follow
a place to see

Oh wondrous light that shone us bright
a sign for all yet few did plight
a joyous day for all to follow
a day for praise ..love and sorrow

shine-th light in all your glory
live enriched for all
beating heart now on this earth
crying out ..

Oh wondrous light that shone us bright
a new way on this world
this time for past and new beginnings

The Curse
andy fardell Dec 2012
My tomorrow brings another day
This time line all written
The chapter foretold
Be dreaded the hour this bravery cold

News that brings madness
Prescribed in my name
Years of the fast life
Gone up feel the flames  

Time for the next day
My clock in reverse
The seconds creep closer
I knew I was cursed

I never did listen
To stories from past
The old woman knocking
No gift's passed her hand

Her words still be ringing
Be dammed to the earth
I shudder the moment
This horror her words

My fate in her future
From pennies I've saved
The morro is written
It's last be my grave

Baa Humbug
andy fardell Nov 2012
Baa Humbug to the world this day
Its stupid time of year
See madness in the peoples eyes
All rushing face the fear

So what its Christmas soon I say
Baa Humbug to you all
Your mad and crazy for the trick
It almost makes me crawl

Yes Santa go and swing ya pants
And stuff ya stupid tree
Pine needles still in June my ***
They hurt my lickl'e feet

A present yeah some socks a pair
Oh thanks I'm really chuffed ..
Sent smelly stuff from who I care
Yes great I smell of farts

I look like I'm all bothered
I really want all this
Cant do with all the hassle
With my cookings crap as hell

Baa Humbug to this time of year
I hate it all the time
When Reli's turn up Christmas cheer
And drink all of me wine
Sod the fact that that's all gone
Won't see them for a year

So Santa sling ya hook again
go find some others pies
Cos mine are staying right in here

Baa Humbug be the time

His Doorway
andy fardell Nov 2012
These lines could tell a thousand stories
Yet you'll not find no words written in
this face  
A life given to a zillion glories
Yet no future seen to a past
gone to haze  

Oh the joy and the glory
As I could be as one
This life a different story
The hill awaits my home

A sigh of life that could have been
This heart all bunched in knot's
Such tired eyes the suitcase full
My squinted crazy look

Roll over covers make my bed
A doorway fits the bill
Till morning brings another day
My begging saps my will
This life a living hell

One Chance
andy fardell Nov 2012
The hour awaits dam time is calling
Feel the shudder crawling in my skin
Spine ready for the chill
Not wanting to know

How could I let this happen to my
Temple inner self
To this thing of inner beauty
To my one life simple world

Doctors eyes tell my soul
In walks the fool with one chance
In his head
Words blurred to the barrage of screaming
held within  
Time is running out

So 3 am in the morning
Feel I have one chance thats left
Sense my nine life's on this planet
Been marked into the red

Eyes weep in tears of salted joy on my
Tasteless lips as the smile cracks
One chance for my body is a chance
I'll take all day
One chance for my future
Feel my mind all blown away

Another Dollar
andy fardell Nov 2012
Another day another dollar
Don the thrown on clothes
That worn over washed feel
A face soaped look to begin the start of another start
Another trawl into the big wide world
Yet so held in as my uniform
Becomes my sin

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

My dollar buys the tax mans lunch
His change may feed my family brunch
Pay the bills on borrowed time
What a life my common crimes
Twist the fate that follows me
The uniform of life and
I'm the tree

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

Holiday beaches from a magazine
Feel the heat and dream the dream
Forget the island sun my son
Paradise park be only for the few
Paradise just aint my glue

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

Uniform of life work your magic wand
Take me to another place
Work me to the bone
Feed my luck to the workers book
It's written till the end
Gone my map all washed from the tears of my soul
The chapters complete yet
Empty inside

Son

His smile just said it all
A look
A laughing call
It melted me inside
My love is pure to never die

His age scare still my soul
As tall as trees in fall
He towers over me
My treasure that he be

A glint that made me warm
The laugh all in his charm
My proudest and my life
Yes my son you are my pride

Yet who do I owe the most
My wifey's love ..a suffering host
She's good and makes me proud
My son ...Our son
Our life

The clouds seem grey today
Is it me I hear you play
Was no mood for laughing loud
Feel the deepest darkest howl

Started like the fun I have
Then the clouds of grey bit back
So I is here to feel the mood
Black and grey all coloured blue

Let's hope the wind does do its job
Blow my mind ...blow the lot
Bring that sunny sunshine smile
Make me happy Gangman style

A Thousand Steps
andy fardell Nov 2012
Body in aching from a thousand steps
Yet a thousand more must be seen
In this life that i love for free
Yet take away my relief

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

A tortured mind for the mindless fools
My head feels so at home
Just a thousand steps to take me there
And a thousand back I drone

Go feed me the pain that
i must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

Hills of torture through paths of stone
I'll walk the way to hell
A thousand steps step up the hill
Just a thousand back again

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

Does this see life as we are made
Or can we throw the walk
Do charge a million miles to stride
Be dam the steps don't fall

I'd sooner fly to stars above
Be scared of reaching high
Look down as up and step to climb
the sky

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again


A pearly gate may greet me  
Fluffy beard to show us life
The new way
Last step in time

Too Young
andy fardell Nov 2012
Vanilla fog filled my body
A taste quite sweet yet its bitter pill
burned my mouth
Hurt my body
Stung my eyes

In the dark no mercy for the good
No way out for the end
Too young to die
Too young to fly
See a wronged goodbye

A journey to far
Be his bright shining star
As wings carry him high
For a friend in he lives

Burn so the pain in hearts
close to him
Sad for the sorrow
A missed goodbye grin

Crying not over for a loss
still so raw
Bitter and twisted for the road
Dam the fall
Heaven is a place
Be a knock on his door

The Devil and his Poetry
andy fardell Nov 2012
He perched high upon his tower of doom
With a glazed gruesome smile  
The window of the world at his feet
Wallow earth wallow
A fine job done indeed

What have we done? ..where do we go?
So many wars
So many useless conflicts
Wasted sons to fathers breath
Mothers wailing ....fear regrets

Famine ..hunger and much the greed
He had done well ...very well indeed
Still perched he rubbed his hands
Laughing at the stupidity of the
So called human race  

Smoke escaped his horns in anticipation
A baited fiery breath held
What next to tempt his bitter
twisted tongue
A lighting bolt of laughter escaped him
The  storm was coming
andy fardell Nov 2012
Words said yet my ears stay closed
In fear of questions that
Leave me
Scared to death inside
Today could have been better

Sing for tomorrow cos today
is nearly done
Lets sing now for the future
Feel my past has haunted
Gone .......

Watched the sounds appear
Be failed to take the note
Another date in future pure dread
I've lost the vote
She mouthed another meeting
In lost Im outa time

Sing for tomorrow cos today
is nearly done
Lets sing now for the future
Feel my past has haunted
Gone .......

Time to close my eyes
Sleep not wanted
Not tonight
Not ever
Today could have been better

Poppy day
andy fardell Nov 2012
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 remembrance poppy day

Sweet Memories
andy fardell Nov 2012
I close my eyes
Smell the picture of you
Still laugh your smile
Can I hold your hand

Think the day will never end
When the start was not my friend
Cried the whole i missed the part
Sweet memories my heart

Saw you look into my eyes
Wished i said what i could want
Soon the day to be not here
In my love for you not gone

Now I'm older wise the fact
No more dancing done the daft
Still will look as if your here
Sweet memories apart

Poems of Remembrance
andy fardell Nov 2012
Poems of Remembrance

War is defined as a form of political violence however I rather hate to like the following quote by this Prussian military general in 1832

"War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will."

We vote in our leaders to refrain from such yet allow them to use us as pawns in their world.I will be remembering and thanking all those who have will and do give up their life's so that i can at least be free to make such thanks

............................................
Lest we forget

The stench of decay hung in the air
Along with the gases from the badlands
Rain had turned the trenches into another bog for the day
STAND TO LADS !!!
the Sergeant barked his mornin song

Spell broken by the first shell of the morning
lucky day ...BOOM .....lucky day
Breakfast usual as the new boys showed no fear
Hide ya head son as another disappeared
Snipers doing their work already...
A scream now silenced short

The morning hate over
Patrolling life began
SHhhhh!! no gunfire
The 2 sides master plan
Machine guns a ready shall cut you complete
Hand to hand and man to man
Bayonets flash besieged

Returned to base to lick their wounds
A fight amongst the rats
Black and brown did rule the roost
A feeding frenzy plan
The lice did all they could to help
Trench fever did its dance
Another day
STAND TO!!! he barked
We stood with baited breath

This was what they signed for
A short war all at plan
And what did they all die for
This life I thank you man

Lest we forget

.......................

A Poppy Remembered

A flower held hand as the young girl
reaches up for her mothers grasp
The reddest of velvet's reflected from
her tears on eyes as her poppy
stands proud and straight

Remember their sacrifice
As you join in their stand
An honour to hold one
Red poppy to hand

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

........................
Poppy day

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 remembrance poppy day
.....................

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

Tears of Time
andy fardell Nov 2012
Close my eyes to your face
See that smile warm my heart
Smell your scent fill my soul
Miss your body next to mine

knowing your not here
Wishing all my fears
Looking in the moonlight
Regrets mine..    
All lost in...
Tears of time    

Sense your touch never feeling
Hear your beat fill my sound
Watch your mouth never moved
kiss those lips cherry blue

knowing your not here
Wishing all my fears
Looking in the moonlight
Regrets mine..    
All lost in...
Tears of time    

Pass me on the other side
As my heart missed your look
Call me when you know I'm here
One day I'll call you too

World Over
andy fardell Nov 2012
The walk out the door
To the last look around
His breath now not wanted
Miss lost to be found

The look that faded to blur
Heard the metal twist door
No escape clause to write over
The light got darker

Light so blue and bright
See's a sight gone
So... so fast
A wreck... a loss

The look behind his shoulder
Could have changed his life
Earth clouded  
World over

The Old Dog and Partridge
andy fardell Nov 2012
In the old pub
That a change in style had not replaced
Sat a couple
In drinking pints no shame
Dressed up to the nines like somewhere to go
This their local,This their show

Old music played some song from then
A smile cracked ,his toes began
She looked at him with fonded eyes
Proud to be sat on his side

His flattened cap began to quiver
as broken hands came out a shiver
Many times had come and gone
Yet here they were and this their song

His rise of proud'ness won her heart
In a flutter time to start
Dancing shoes all for the ready
Whisked away a shimmer Freddie

Year's no age this time was their's
Dancing laughing life's weekend beer  
Many more for them to come
Down the Old dog and Partridge... done !!!

One Step Away
andy fardell Nov 2012
My heart woke to the morn
In my body's blood my hands curled
Be this age to gone

Wounded in battle from scars
not shown
Seen to the day's stretch

The world's infest lulls me to
another breath
In so they creep
Infested deep

Outside we crawl to the tax on
our soul's
No better known as we believe  
the food that's fed in lies

A day to come before us
stands in life
Our hope commands

Weak in hand
I fear
I stand
I fight another day ....Lest we forget

Sandy
andy fardell Nov 2012
Slowly and surely the world turned over
Its teeth to bear upon our earth
The rage in life has over its land
These running thousands fleeing hands

A thousand miles of rage and anger
Seems so much damage ,done disaster
Lives in lost and fed to mother
Make us realize our simple precious

Time takes heal for many a place
Reflection life a moments grace
Land reclaimed as climate moves
Thoughts for comfort ...life consumed

Those were the days
andy fardell Oct 2012
Down the entry ..up we ran
Fighting ,shouting, laughing cans
Days of old where nothing mattered
Play outside until ya shattered

Knock on doors and make a scarper
Light a banger .. could n be dafter
Chase ya mates on bikes all rusty
Pulling wheelies ...fetching plasters

Build a den from scraps of wood
Hide for ages till its grub
Bottles sought to take to shop
Swap for sweeties gobs that stop

Not a phone nor worried sight
When you turn up late at night
Eat ya nosh see Kojak chase
Fire lit ya in dads place

Jimmy's on all snuggled in
flick 3 channels theres nothing on  
Of to bed with ***** feet
Only bath time once a week

The Taste of Living
andy fardell Oct 2012
Thin whispery clouds formed around the distant hills
as I looked out into the vastness
Moonlight reflected from the dew as the dawn did open
Little fairy's danced before my eyes seeing life be born
And the sky did open

Light became light to the roar of sunlight warming the earth
Shadows formed to hold the darkness of night just a little longer
I stretched to the start of a new days dawning
Feeling my skin warm to the glow of the fire started in the sky
Life was waking ..I was alive

Cool breath from the night still filled my lungs as I exhaled the dark
to breath in the day
The sweet sweet taste of morning felt so good so fresh so alive
This was the taste of Earth
This was the taste of living

A wasted fate in Costa lotta
