Devil's night
Aa Harvey May 2018
Devil’s night


Let’s all dream epiphanies.
Salt the ash or let it be.
Never seen reality.
Everyone is make-believe.


Live a life of tragedy.
There are no more sweet sixteen’s.
The party died with innocence.
Roll of the dice; head on a six pence.


In a dream reality,
Nothing is ever quite as it seems.
Take a life of fantasy.
We are all down to some degree.


Love is buried six feet deep.
Gone is the hope of sapling to tree.
Youth in a blender publicity.
Create your monsters on TV.


Black as night and twice as cold.
The Devil’s here to reap your souls.
Another night’s apocalypse.
The end is all that is on their lips.


In death we learn to let them go.
They’re buried deep in their hollow.
The risen haunt the streets once more.
The darkness has come to cleanse the pure.


A bitter taste of lovely love.
There is no place for a God above.
They took it with the lies they sold.
The blackest night to take a soul.

The Mighty Lion
Aa Harvey May 2018
The Mighty Lion


The Mighty Lion, standing proud.
All things beneath him; nothing as loud,
As the roar of this beast, in the middle of the night.
There is no other creature for him to fear
And he has wisdom behind those amber eyes.


So stoical, he stands there;
As he is observing his plain.
All others are running around so quickly,
Whilst he remains unruffled,
With his courageous heart,
Behind his mighty mane.


No challenger approaching; no chance of defeat.
The Mighty Lion stands proudly,
As he rules over all that which he can see.
From the birds in the sky,
Down to the insects beneath his feet.
The Mighty Lion rules with razor-sharp claws
And he can end any fight by simply showing his teeth.


His counsel is sought, to settle neighbourhood disputes.
His decision is final; his words speak only truth.
His eyes can see through liars, as he gains knowledge from his Pride.
He stands there, remarkable, in his domain
And his view is always right.
He knows all of the stories that spread around the group.
He has an army of animals on his side.  
They are under his leadership.  
They are his motley crew.


The Mighty Lion stands apart,
For he is truly their King.
He has earned his place at the Head of the Pride,
But still, he walks alongside all others
And he fears nothing.

An empty soul
Aa Harvey May 2018
An empty soul


I have seen insane and I have found the route back to sanity;
The only thing that could ever hold me down,
Was my own apathy and gravity.
But as I rise above, as I rise once more,
I see my future in my own hands as I am every possibility.
I can have it all.


I can move the stars when I have a guide to lead me;
I can change a heart in the middle of a scream.
I can intake a thought and show it to you like a movie,
Because I have found my higher purpose;
I have awoken from the dream.


I am Neo and Peter Pan; a monster mind aplenty.
I have seen the ghosts of love walking throughout every cemetery.
I have cast out my demons into the books I have written
And all my intentions are turning into actions; it is elementary.


Fix a thought on a diamond and you will see through eagle eyes,
That the wisp of me that roams at night can no longer be despised;
For I am simply a mortal in disguise, hidden away inside a locket.
I am a warrior mind on the inside, but all you see of me is my shadow.
All you can do is view me with scorn
And every feeling I have you will mock it.


That image of me you have is but a figment of your minds creation;
As you stumble through life intoxicated,
Your soul is permanently on vacation.
I live here in the surreal world observing you and all you do
And I am secure inside my own station.


Consider a change as my words begin to fade from all memory;
Your yesterday is still today, your tomorrow to you is unseen
And unknown, but I am all seeing, so I am alone.
I am so happy in misery,
Because who would want you to tell them how to live?


I am my own nightmare.  I am haunted by my twist of fate,
But at the end of this life, my ideas will remain.
Peace, love and empathy is a simple wish,
But it will be all I have left, in the end, to give.
When I have stolen a heart and I am a Prince among thieves;
I will be watching, waiting and writing your future inside the tea leaves.


I have foretold you and I have already predicted your future;
I have said it, I have read it; I am your messenger.
The voice of reason in a place without lines;
The tired and the heart broken have been forsaken by time.
We are without a destiny,
Because we never created it in the first place.
In the end all we are is empty of ideals,
Ideas and a way to find our own way.

The labyrinth of our mind
Aa Harvey May 2018
The labyrinth of our mind


In the labyrinth of our minds, the secrets of the brain still hide
And maybe in the days of our lives, the answers we shall find.
The key to our knowledge and our lost memories preside,
In the basement of our unchartered minds,
In our subconscious lost time.


One day we shall find out all the secrets hidden within,
The pantry of our minds kitchen, which creates our feelings.
One day we shall realize how to spy the mysteries locked there in,
The safe of our conscious and subconscious labyrinth.


Our dreams and our nightmares are a glimpse at another wonder;
The original wonders of the world are deep within us, to be plundered.
We as humans shall take all we can get as we delve under,
The skull of another human mind in search of a new treasure.


What lies beneath the truth and the lies we all do speak?
What lays hidden under the shell of our sanity or insanity?
What will they think of next to invade our personal sanctuary?
In the deepest recesses of our labyrinth, our brain, our memories.


The doctors and nurses, the psychiatrists and psychologists,
Are a fingertip away from knowing the reason for our existence.
All we have left to discover is covered with the bone of our heads;
The brains functions have been unraveled partly.  
Now we seek the rest.
We wish to know all the answers, so we dig like archaeologists,
Deep into the minds of the men, the women and the kids.


One day our T.V. will be linked directly into our brain cells,
So we can see the thoughts of our fellow humans and animals as well.
We shall unlock all the mysteries of the human mind given time,
But will we like what we see, deep within the labyrinth of our minds?

Angels guide me
Aa Harvey May 2018
Angels guide me


Sat in a hospital waiting for God;
I need some help, to pick me up.
I’m going crazy, I’ve lost the plot;
I’ve lost my way, without your love.


Stood before me are a cleaner and his twin brother;
A serene presence glows around them both.
They speak peaceful words, within the mundane
And I immediately feel comforted by the holy ghost.


They talk to each other and I listen intensely,
To every word looking for an answer.
There is no-one else in the waiting room
And in them I see Him or Her.


The God up above gave them religious names
And I believe they are here when I needed to be saved.
They mop up the floor like Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty
And I see in them both, something Heavenly.


When I am at my lowest and in need of some help,
They appeared before me and eased all my problems.
They showed me Heavens gates, when I was living in Hell,
Now I am sane once more, but angels should not be forgotten.

A kiss
Aa Harvey May 2018
A kiss.


It’s time to reminisce about a lovers kiss;
So soft were the lips, such a feeling of bliss.
Such ecstasy to be found in such loving lips;
The wetness of those lips covered in red lipstick.


With no need for a tongue, the tenderness of a beloved hug;
An embrace of love, a loving sense of warmth.
So soft to the touch, so full of love,
So full of joy; such a lovely feeling of mutual trust.


The holding of the hands and the needy longing;
The mutual understanding and plans for a future wedding.
With each other together, dreaming of lasting forever.
Such Heaven to be seen shining from two birds of a feather.


Lying next to each other, in bed eternally happy;
So quick to forgive and forget any quirks or misery.
Such peace to be found, such happiness;
Such blissful neglect of a busy life,
With too little time with each other to spend.


Life is too short, so live for love;
I live and breathe to love, because I need to love.
I need your love, I crave to be loved;
I need to love, because I love to love.

Today could have been a better day.


There is nothing wrong with singing a song,
As long as the words are right.
When all is said and nothing’s done,
Just start again and set alight,
The wishes that you used to have.
Ain’t got no bag so full of beans.
No way to learn everything.


I’ve got to fly through the night air or be unseen.
If all you say is meaningless, then just get out.
I’m out of breath to waste on dreams.
All you think, you only ever said out loud,
I never wanted you to speak;
So drop the act and leave,
Because all these pretty things you say,
Are only said in jest, with hate.
No malice left to fight for peace.
I’m all used up inside.
No masterpiece will ever be produced.
All the pointless things I do,
Are only to annoy you and all you do is take my time.


You waste my time, with only lies, on Valentines.
You talk of love and I’m left in stitches;
Side splitting jokes about your kisses.
Nothing ever makes me smile,
So pack a bag and leave here, I’ll,
Find myself a way to misbehave.
A way to get away from all you say
And I will find a better way to say,
Today could have been a better day.

This is no way to be


Social dis-function; allow me to live.
I just wanna be a normal boy,
Not a wooden misery.
Failure to mention,
I hide away from everything.
Paranoia strikes, leaving me in Limbo, limply.
Walking quickly, talking quietly,
Hoping something will one day change;
But everything remains the same, useless brain,
Inside a head full of fearful steps.
Nothing but regrets to get me out of bed.


I look the same as you,
I act the same as you do,
But inside I am confused.
Born only to lose,
Born only to lose,
Singing my own blues.
This is no way to be,
But this is the real me.

Remember that
Aa Harvey May 2018
Remember that


I love you; remember that.
Whenever you are feeling down,
Remember that I have got your back.
If you need me, then I will help if I can.
I am sorry I could not do more;
I am just a man.


Remember that, if you expect everything,
When I have nothing to give.
Remember the times we shared together, when I tried to live.
Remember that when I let you down.
Remember that when I leave this town,
And all I have been through; remember that,
I passed on through here once.
Once upon a time I was with you;
Only once, for once was enough.


I know you saw me.
Remember I just wanted to tell stories.
Fact or fiction.
Poetry is my addiction.
Remember what I wrote.
Remember all I tried to say to you.
Remember I love you;
Know that I know.
Once upon a time you loved me too.
Remember that?


Remember that I made mistakes.
A wedding cake is all I wanted.
I never found the best I ever had.
Remember something; forget nothing.
Remember the plans we made?
We disagreed, so I gave you what you needed,
And still you walked away;
When I needed you to stay.
Remember to visit my grave.
Remember you are always welcome,
No matter what anybody else may have to say.


Remember when you are having a drink,
That I do not drink, but I understand.
Remember that I will not judge you,
For I too am in the wrong,
For I am just another man.


Remember to be yourself.
That is all I have ever been.
Remember that.
Remember me.
Remember our time together
And all the love we had.
Remember I love you, now and forever;
Don’t forget,
To remember that.

Pushing love away
Aa Harvey May 2018
Pushing love away


We accept the love we think we deserve.
I think I deserve more love.  
I have fallen so deeply into love with her,
But she didn’t notice, didn’t feel the same,
Didn’t love like the love I deserved from her.
The words I cannot speak have left me undone.


I have fallen in love too many times for you to take me seriously.
I understand why they all say, they do not believe in me.
I am incapable of being loved; that is why I remain alone.
It doesn’t matter if I ever get to share my love;
It is obviously not as good as I have always bemoaned.


I keep on saying nobody loves me as much;
But the truth is I cannot love, because I am unworthy.
I claim to want a perfect wife,
Because she does not exist.
So I remain out of it.
Come along and hurt me.


Luck or love?  To me, it’s all just a myth,
Or a thing that other people easily give.
I have never had it,
Because I never gave love,
Like everybody else does;
So cheaply.
My love is worthless when everybody,
Is so **** good and I am damaged goods,
In need of trust and unable to give it.


Read the script and play your part,
As you tear my soul and stamp on my heart.
Love me please, but stay away.
This is my every day pain,
And the face does not change,
Like my mind will…eventually.


I push you away to set myself free,
Of the chance of being hurt, or knowing misery,
Because all love has ever done to me,
Is **** my insides and stain my esteem.
I estimate I will find a mate…
I hope she can see through my barriers,
Because I have no strength to agree,
So I still hope one day she will get me.

Motivate


I have been carrying a planet on my back for so long, it’s still trying;
Because every time I make it to near the top of Mount Mind,
I am destroyed; taken from mine.
A seed falls from a leaf,
As a once upon a time witness,
To the being that was, or is, or could be me.


I am stood here waiting for a reason to carry on;
But I cannot carry a world when I stand alone as one.
So I will share my burdens with you all;
Help me to help another, or help another,
If you hear them call.
We all need good neighbours,
I must get to know mine,
But time flies!


People lose belief in everything,
Shaded beneath the mango tree.
Nothing even matters anyway; right?
I just cannot see a way into the light.
I cannot motivate, nor can I hate,
When all I feel is in view for you to rate.
I cannot motivate myself to improve my health;
I need help to find a better way to leave this Hell.
Eating better, but still smoking;
I would laugh, but I’m not joking.


Fictional love behind the steering wheel.
Driving force in need of being healed.
We begin again too many times to make a difference.
Waiting on your world too many times to be of any consequence.
I took control of my own life,
By taking down the fences.
Waiting on your world to change.
Your TV no longer shows happy days,
When I am in need of being mended.


Waiting on a world,
Whilst I am trapped inside your zoo.
Without loving words we will remain as two,
When we should be as one;
Not gone.
One thought, one mind;
A sign of the times should shine.


Sing the sad tunes and remain in the dunes;
The claws in your back has not and will not be removed.
Skin too tough to ever be just right.
Life is our basic instinct.
The caged minds hide all their sunlight.
One move, one fall and all this goes away;
Away into eternal night.
This is no time for wishful thinking.
This is the only chance I have to live this life.

You're not even
Aa Harvey May 2018
You’re not even.


You’re not the greatest dancer, but I would love to dance with you.
You’re not the greatest singer, but we are so in tune.
You’re not a model or designer, but I love your style.
You’re not the funniest, but you do make me smile.


You’re sometimes irritating, but I don’t mind.
You’re doing my head in!  By always being so right.
You’re not what I expected, but you are a pleasant surprise.
You’re not what I had imagined, because I never aimed so high.


You’re expecting so much from me, that you inspire me to do more.
You’re crying again, but to me you have never looked more beautiful.
You’re worrying about everything, as you put my mind at ease.
You’re not even a ten out of ten, because you are an eleven to me.


You love some music I hate, but we love more of the same.
You’re the only one who can hurt me, but you cure all of my pain.
You’re not my usual type, but you are all that I need.
You’re mean sometimes, to other people, but never to me.


You’re not to everybody’s tastes, but you’re the only flavour I like.
You’re a nightmare to sleep next to!  But you can keep me up all night.
You’re a love worm, sinking under my skin;
You’re sulking again, so I get to give you more loving.


You’re putting me to shame, by taking the blame.
You’re an itch I cannot scratch, but I would never send you away.
You’re not the life of the party, but you fill up my life.
You’re laughing at something stupid I said,
But you make me happy, when I see your smile light up your eyes.


You’re not a writer or an artist, but you can see the real picture.
You’re not the woman I once know, because you made me forget her.
You’re taking over my life,
But I’ve been secure in your hands since the start.
You’re not the richest in the land, but you have a priceless heart.


You’re not wearing make-up,
Because you have a naturally beautiful face.
You leave me lost for words, with the funny things that you say.
You’re taking things to heart, but you keep me there with you happy;
You’re nothing like me, but who would want you to be?


You’re a hot rash that I shouldn’t touch, but I can’t leave you alone.
You’re a big bubble, but at least you know how to strike a pose.
You’re not an energy bunny, but I am happy to just chill with you.
You’re a moody blue, but still I love you.


You’re an annoyance, I can’t sleep without.
You’re so ****!  And you leave me without doubt.
You’re not my wife, but I hope you will be soon.
You’re not the first, maybe the last;
But you are the best…swoon…

The poem with no name

The poem with no name.


There is a black raven at my tail, as I walk down the street;
It foretells me my tale will no longer taste so sweet.
The end is nigh, I hear from upon high;
In darkness I hear, the shriek of the beast.


I am coming to meet you, my maker;
Are you sure you are ready to meet me?
I will courteously scream at you, what have you taken away?
My life, your judgment; what a price to pay!


Too short was this living; your retort had better be good!
No I don’t understand!  Who on Earth could?
This darkness you befell upon me is bitter indeed;
Without you to blame and scream at, what have I left to bleed?


A soul snatched from this world and elevated beyond this life;
In God’s eyes I find meaning, to my premature demise.
What countless men before me, have suffered the same fate?
I see two angels at God’s shoulders; I guess he sent his Devil away.


I kneel before benevolence and beg for forgiveness.
The voice of angel’s raise my spirit;
Their songs of joy are relentless.

Nobody but me and my crow
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Nobody but me and my crow.


A black crow flies at night, hidden high above the city lights.
Looking down on us all, like we are beneath it as it soars.
Nobody knows the crow’s thoughts, but we want to so we try;
But our own interpretation of the crow in the sky,
Shows us no truth at all.


Flying past the moon, it is gone before we know;
As it falls down towards the ground, is it in its death throes?
Or is it safe and sound as it catches the air like an arrow?
As the people walk below, alone, they are lead forward by its shadow.


In the middle of the night when all is dead to the world,
I can hear the crow calling out into the void.
High and low it has been searching for an unknown mate;
Now, as I see them, they are an omen of a future destroyed.


Now as I stand here preparing for death,
I struggle for thoughts and gasp at a breath.
As my body shivers under the moon, I fall;
Snow underfoot, through an empty forest I crawl.


Death is in the air.
Nobody left to meet in this forest.
They are all gone to nowhere;
So there is nobody left to save my soul
And nobody left to care.

Iron heart; cage no free thinker.
Iron maiden has never gone away.
Question everything; search forever deeper.
In the end we are all looking to find away.


Plastic heart; turn the vinyl record on.
Croaking voices, broken strings; leave us…
Stone heart; there will never be a final setting sun.
Today is forever, so continue to speak of love.


Glass heart; shatter my tears against your kiss.
I am see through when it comes to loving you.
Scratch your nails down my back; give all you have to give.
I want to slide into your mind; clearly this is my truth.
Fire heart; all I can give you is my undying passion.
This love is too hot to lack compassion.


Wooden heart; I want to be a real boy.
Walk with sandals (full of holes); the last straw on a camel’s back.
I am pining for the fjords, before I am destroyed,
By the inferno of lies they tell; forever to remain…forever sad.

The Audience


As the curtains begin to close,
I can see no stage light at all.
All my feelings they were never exposed.
I am trapped behind this wall.
Never letting anybody close,
Too much to risk to let them know
And when those curtains finally fall,
I am left a hollow ghost.


I had no effect in my time,
Never to be seen again.
This is all that remains of my life,
The tears that stain the page.


Empty words in an empty mind,
There is nothing, there is nothing, there is…
Inside I am falling into the abyss; all that I wish for…never arrives.
Nightmares are the only dreams I have left,
Since she took away the possibility of my heart ever being kissed.


My screams have no sound in this oblivion.
My voice has no will or volume to turn up, for an audience without her.
She could have given me a state of bliss, a rose tinted kingdom!
Now all I have is loss, all is gone;
I am gravitating down…into the Earth.

Brittle heart and feet for wheels.
Never had a happy meal.
Living like I am at the end;
Never gonna try again.


Given up on giving up;
Craving more of a lovers touch.
I love the sun that shines on me.
Everywhere I speak I find empathy.


Dead inside, but still alive.
I am a mess that is feeling alright.
Hating every word you say,
So gonna look the other way.


Happy days are back again,
New open eyes see past the pain.
Fond memories of being loved.
I have never felt this good!


Still so sad under the skin.
I have an empty bed in which to sink.
Misery is all I can think;
It’s all I have left to believe in.


Up and down my feelings go.
Like her, I have never felt so alone.
Waiting on a new romance.
It’s time I gave true love a chance.

The Three Angels


(The demon talks)

With all the death that surrounds our lives;
Surely it is no longer shocking,
That we are eternally searching, for that long goodnight.
In all the worlds, the stars and the twilight,
Live the horrors of a hive mind that is aching for sunlight.


You can only take the things that I have grown to hate;
For in each and every day, you have stood in my way.
But now the time has come for me to repay,
The hurt that you have caused me; with my own taste for pain.


When all else is dark and the birds have flown away,
You will be found cold as steel, in your personal shallow grave.
Without a doubt, you will be betrayed
And with an ice cold blade,
You will find yourself at the end of your days.


In a blackened cloak and cowl of ash;
The reaper is calling for you, so make a wish my Prince.
In this magnetic future, there is no turning back;
This death is foretold, forewritten and your future is destined.


You can never run inside a fate of quicksand
And as the breath drains from your lungs, you are left praying still.
Your precious life can be taken, simply by the touch of his hand;
So prepare for your dying day and write yourself a will.


In the depths of despair, we are all lacking air.
Offer us a sunshine inside a bag and we will honour your name.
A sickening world breeds only a lack of care;
Now this day of reckoning has come,
To splash this land with blood stains.


A ****** in mind; a vulture feeds upon the carcass.
I pity your entire life and your very existence.
We speak only of evil, because you people are so barbarous.
And now the evil has been awakened,
So you had better keep your distance.


We are forever indebted to the Devil and his teachings
And we shall remain devout and do all of his bidding.
Empathy is unseen through black eyes devoid of feelings;
So such beauty shall remain untouched by the hand of the King.


Love shall remain unrequired when the world is on fire;
So when all has turned black, I shall have no such desire.
The family feud shall reign eternal
And the gunshot will ring true and leave you down in the mire.


Falling and sinking and then drowning in blood.
With the dark angels touch, you will be conquered and taken.
No saviour is forthcoming to stop your society’s soul crush;
It will bring you down with every word,
That these imbeciles have spoken.


We all wear a mask to hide our inner-most secrets;
I have never taken a soul that didn’t need me to take it.
I stare into the stars from down inside this spiked pit;
Now the shackles have been removed,
So I can, at last, unleash this hatred!


(The angel speaks)

The darkness is unending in this place without hope;
We are trapped inside our memories and we will soon become ghosts.
If the burden we carry holds us back,
When forward is where we must go.
If we allow ourselves to become prisoners of thought;
Then our life will never leave the shallow.


The monsters are everywhere, so speak of them, for they will still be;
You cannot carry a book of spells that will banish everything.
You cannot live a life with beauty, if you are already inside your box;
You must face your fears head on and live your life free.


Free from the fear of death, we must all rest one day;
But for now we must sing to cover our nervous eyes.
Let joyous thoughts create your face
And keep the undertaker from your grave;
For too soon we will be taken, so use well your only time.


As the grandfather clock ticks and the pendulum swings,
The house of the dead will forever be beckoning.
But if we live carefully and let our dreams be carefree,
We can fulfil our destiny and change our time of reckoning.


In mirrors we see shadows flicker and their shape may change;
But as soon as we look at those shadows through natural eyes,
There is nothing there to be seen.
So we stare deep into the mirror that is our soul, searching once again;
Those images are no longer there to be found,
But they will be back inside our darkest dreams.


In the midnight hour we awaken screaming no!
We tell the tale of the beast that lurks in the shadows.
We see it all so clearly, in the back of our minds.
But our words are felt unnecessary;
They tell us go to sleep now and be mellow.


(The poet replies)

We can never relax in this nightmare of a bloodbath!
It is real I tell you!  So stop that laughter!
You will regret this lost minute, when you are under attack!
So take these words deep inside your heart
And remember them forever after!


Your time is coming, so beware the ides of March;
You cannot light your way in the rain with that torch.
The daylight may be your friend, but evil likes to lurk in the dark.
The killer, the reaper;
Your future is forever more.


In your last living hour and the first second of your death,
You will be praying for an escape key and wishing for a wish.
You will call out to God and inevitably you will still be dead;
Because when your hour glass is empty, then that will be the end of it.


(The angel speak)

Your future is uncertain, but the threat of death haunts us all;
We can be nothing without action, so seize this time.
When all is turning black and we are without a door;
We will hope for a purpose, a direction, a sight for sore eyes.


The bats will feast on your blood as you lay under moonlight;
The lost and found box will one day contain your soul.
If all we can be is dead, then surely we must embrace this life;
Now is not our final hour, it is our finest hour!
So along the pure path we must go!


Each stepping stone will carry us across the Dead Sea;
If we truly believe, then we can achieve anything.
So run for the hills, to bask in the dawns morning call
And as you drop to your knees to embrace the light,
You will find your true meaning.


Pause for thought beneath a rainbow, if you are thinking of the end;
Because we are just beginning to tell the tale of mankind.
Through bloodshot eyes, bullets have been fired my friend;
But here we stand, here we fall and still humanity survives.


The mischievous spirits dance in the rose petals beneath our feet;
As the angel’s soothe our hearts inside the pit of defeat.
In a hopeless state we can never set ourselves free;
But humans are kind sometimes,
So have trust, faith and love and you shall be at peace.


We cannot rest in peace if our soul is in pieces;
So stay true to your belief that the spirits are good.
As we gasp for air, we stay clear of our graveyard; we all want this
And as once more we rise, we become immortal
And in this Heaven I promise you, we shall all forever be loved.

I hate my voice
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
I hate my voice


Chaos lives inside my head; shattered love has never been more broken.
If I could change this life, then I would simply forget,
Everything that made me what I am
And my words would remain unspoken.


But for now I will talk of the man inside.
The hollow heart; the empty eyes.  So loveless, so lifeless…so feeble.
I am the burden I carry; self-sacrifice.
Lies tell the truth; we wish to hide all feelings from all people.


I am no light and I am without help.
Me, me, me; self-obsessed, so I write.
Only I can save myself, from myself,
But apathy is killing me and I am feeling nothing on the outside.


Music is my only friend who never lies to me;
Poetry is my only chance at finding the soul I desperately need.
I am a pathetic piece of me and the ashes of the man I used to be.
So I remain the same, I remain the same; I remain inside my grief.


Pictures mean nothing to me, but words show a true image.
Art is yours to take or leave and I am without a voice.
All I do is see the truth, as I ignore the finish;
Books have become interesting…poetry is my only choice.

Love is my nicotine
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Love is my nicotine


In a world of material girls, I don’t need a thing.
There is no possession I could not live without,
As long as I could still write and hear people sing.
Music is everywhere, so I know that people care,
But as for my things?  Money is not needed there.


Cigarettes, no alcohol.  My addiction is to you.  
Well, well, I am not well.
I need love and the stories that I tell.
I could happily walk in broken shoes if you were at my journey’s end.
If you were there until the end, I would walk until the end.


In a world so shallow and where Sponge Bob is so self-absorbed,
I only need one love, to be adored,
To drive me forward,
To inspire my need to write new words, or clarity thoughts.


Love is my nicotine; love is my sunscreen.
You protect me from me and my apathy.
If you love me always, then I will be happy in all ways.
If you hold me next to you this day,
I will drift away
And when I awake beside your smile,
I will begin again.
One step towards this endless mile.
This adventure together,
United by love forever and ever and ever.

Hollowed bones
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Hollowed bones.


Give up on drugs and fail to love.
Live life unknown and do not trust.
Break up and cry.  Suicide.
Fall apart behind their lies.


Have apathy for you and me;
I live to die, keep your empathy.
My lack of faith is a disease;
I fail to believe in anything.


So hate them all and break apart.
Tear out each other’s broken hearts.
No light in Hell and no new start.
We suffer eternal agony, so let’s depart.


No Queen or King; no money for things.
No saints, just sin; no longer sing.
No love of hate can survive inside me,
Because I have learned to accept my every disease.


So pity me; forgive me please,
For I can no longer stand this world of sin.
I cry at you all because you’re nothing like me;
So tear away my skin, because I feel everything.


Leave my hollow bones a scattered skeleton relic;
For gone is my hope and faith.  Call a medic.
Relish the reason for life instead of reality;
For I no longer want to live the destiny of a tragedy.

I will wait
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
I will wait.


If love is searching for me, then I will not move.
I will wait here, doing nothing, until she comes into view.
I will wait here a million years if she is worth the wait.
I will patiently remain, even if she is a thousand years too late;
Because I hope she is running to be with me.
I desire her love, so patiently,
I wait to embrace,
To see her face,
So I can know the day I found her.


I will wait until she arrives
And if it takes until the end of time
And I only get a second to look into her eyes,
Then I will wait…
Because she will have tried to reach me;
So it must be,
Possible for her to truly love me.


If love is searching,
I will not be deserting.
I will wait patiently, even when I am truly hurting.
I will wait…

…For you.

Aa Harvey Apr 2018
You build me up


With you I am standing on a larger stone;
This place I used to call my own, I share now with you.
You raise me up above and I no longer stand alone.
This is what loving you does to me;
All the love I knew from you, I would never undo.


You lift me up with words like love;
Now arm in arm we walk as one.
You let me go with each and every hug.
You build me back together when I am broken
And you give life to my bones.

Bleeding heart
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Bleeding Heart


Choose life, suicide; born free, running wild.
Let down, picked up, never learned how to love.
You will always be my Queen; you will always have my heart.
Let your love bleed into me and I will tear it apart.


Here she comes in angel wings;
Covering me in her empathy.
I feel her love entrapping me;
Locked away inside her heart, I am finally free.


Free from the search of a true love that will last forever;
At last accepting love is temporary and at some point love will sever.
Severely love is ripped from my hands,
As she casts a glance at another man.


My bleeding heart lies there on the floor,
It is beaten, it is broken; it is in love no more.


Love will not last forever and some day it will fade,
But if you have it, hold onto it like it’s the key to your grave.
Because love will release you from the fear of death…

But love will bring your end, when you have nothing left.

Now I am nothing
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Now I am nothing.


Why can’t you see that I am love?
Look into my eyes and you will see the two of us,
Locked in each other, earning each other’s trust.
Lost in love and feeling loved up.


All those times you said that I could never be the one,
For you to be happy with for all time, left me broken.
I am now nothing without you my love;
Each promise we made to each other, should never have been spoken.


Now I am nothing.  I am the boy condemned.
I am everything you never wanted, so this is our end.
Lost is our love upon the seas of despair.
We were never really together, just close.  You were always there.


Condemned to live in Hell eternally,
Because without your love, I am lost and gone.
Without your love I am lost endlessly;
Come back to me, because without you I am none.


A non-entity, living a non-existence;
A nothing, a no-one, a waste of a life.
Now we are no more, we are not even a pretense;
Now I shall leave here, but not one tear will I cry.

The end of the dream
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
The end of the dream


Watching…waiting…
Anticipating.
Wishing…praying…
Saving?
­

Death hangs over;
Looking over the shoulder.
Body is getting colder;
No more getting older.


Still…unmoving…
Dead, not dying.
Lost…gone…no more losing;
Only crying.


Time stands still;
No more living this day.
Life is at an end; read the will…
The last words they will ever say.

They sea me without
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
They sea me without.


I carry a raven upon my shoulder,
A sundial on my back.
The hat I wear is made of ash;
Sunlight is what I lack.


I drag my feet behind me on sandy beaches.
The ball and chain my ankle bracelet bling.
‘If only…’ is a wish, a fantasy; it’s incomplete.
I never made it big.


There is a line of memories behind me in the sand;
It shows the places I have seen.
It is my reason;
The reason I understand;
The reason I understand why you do not understand me.


It curves around, beyond the boulders
And on through rows of palm trees.
This dream I have, I have always carried;
It has always been with me.


I leave my burdens at the door,
But desire is a flame that still burns eternal.
It lights up my face, when I see her face,
But inside I remain forever nocturnal.


I walk in foreign footsteps,
No guide or friend in tow.
I cross the sea of peace, love and empathy forever,
Alone in my sinking boat.


I carry only what I need to make it to the end of the sea.
The cannon ball attached to my feet,
Is expanding more than I would like it to be.
It grows with each passing full moon,
The only time I can be seen.
I hide behind a smile sometimes,
Before it rows away from me.


I have a conversation, with a man who sells only ale;
His face is full of redness and joy!
My face is always pale.
I take a sip of this rotgut and begin to waste away from the inside.
I sometimes hear a hearty tune and sing!
While all the time,
Inside, I die…


The noise is intoxicating;
The words they speak are so enchanting.
Sooner or later it becomes closing time
And I am left walking away from the dancing.


The maiden’s flutter their eyes,
I haven’t shaved in several weeks.
My life is worn away by the sun, my clothes torn asunder.
They flirt and kiss me on the cheek
But there is no more thunder.
They ask if I would like to join them,
On their midnight adventure.
I have no words, I promise to return,
But they never get a real answer.


They cannot readily see the hole in my soul;
Oh what a charmed life I live.
I try to laugh, so tip my hat…

…a pirate’s life for me.

It’s better


It’s better if I am not around people;
They are all much happier that way.
It’s better if I avoid conversations;
I have nothing to say.


It’s better when the rain is falling;
I understand the rain.
It’s better if I never existed;
You will have to read my brain.


It’s better if you don’t try to understand;
I have no more empathy.
It’s better if I never find out,
What you truly think of me.


It’s better than me,
The version you see,
When we first begin,
To meet.


Once you get to really know me,
You will all see,
Why it’s better without me.

Evolution

Evolution


It’s a beautiful world…

It’s a beautiful world for us to behold.
Open your eyes; you are not yet cold.
You have only just begun.
You are yet to fall in love,
With the trees and the mountains and rivers so deep.
Evolution is calling;
Step back from the steep.


The mud is Lego, the leaves my roof.
Belief without proof.
The future,
Culture,
Soon…


Expand and multiply.
One day fly up into the sky.
Industrial sounds,
Seek to rise.


Now we stand a thousand feet tall,
We have become too lazy to walk.
We cease to go forward in an analogue world,
So digital becomes essential.
Zuckerberg stands on the shoulders of Gates,
The wealth is monumental.
Now money makes the world go around,
True love is a by-product; it is only rarely found.


We are self-aware, with pride, not care.
Kasparov moves his King into place;
We are still so unaware.
Three moves ahead, unseen as yet,
Will this be the end of all?
Time takes one thing, we can never just forget,
We live in a beautiful world.


We will rise against the machine;
We are all the rage, against the pain,
Rush humanity past a cybertronic defence.
It’s a beautiful world…today.

We need food, drink, shelter,
Warmth and comfort.
This is the end of the list.
I am done with it.


The medicine is free.
The hospital’s a delight.
The bills are paid; I have a light.
Nicotine is optional; as are gifts.
Money is a concept, we use to live;
But when you do not want or need anything,
You are only holding onto empty pieces of paper.
I did not vote for this.


You buy things you do not need,
With money you do not have,
To impress the people you do not like.
Music is free.
I do not watch TV.
Love is free…
A design for life.

I have to empty my mind of thoughts to get to sleep.
I wish I could be like everyone else and sort out my head in my dreams.
But this is not the chosen path for me.
Insomnia sets in, so I write poetry
And dream of going to sleep.

Utopia
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Utopia


In utopia there is no war;
No angry raised voices, just a smile on every face.
There is a place without a need to be poor;
Without a money system, there is no greed or hate.


The sun shines daily, unless you are in need of the rain,
Then the Heaven’s will open to wash any sadness away.
Freedom is in the air and morality is at the centre of everything.
This is a land of happily ever after; oh hear the angelic people sing.


There are people shaking hands, saying “How do you do?”
There is no fighting in the street,
There is no crime and no-one is homeless or blue,
Because all are able to succeed and remain stable.
Every King has a Queen and everybody lives in their own castle;
Be it big or small, skyscraper or bungalow.
Everybody feels at home here and they always have a place they can go.


The streets are always clean; the charity workers are buzzing bees;
Content, it has to be said, there is no-one begging on their knees,
For a coin to feed their starving children;
They are all fed and happy and the fun never ends for them.


People are swimming in lakes, so crystal clear;
The water is warm in the evening and the fish swim without fear.
There are genie lamps to grant wishes, so if you wish to fly,
They will give you your wings and you will soar through the sky!


Boredom does not exist; you are able to do a million different things
And when you are ready and have done everything,
You are taken to a beautiful new land;
The kingdom of Queens and Kings,
Where angels speak of dreamers and love is guaranteed.


There are clouds to rest upon and there is no cold,
Unless you want to feel the refreshing breeze of the wind on your soul
And as you enter the mansion, gold doors slowly open without hands;
The entrance welcomes you to come inside and see the wise woman.


The wisest of them all, The Oracle.
She is so knowledgeable,
That any question can be answered without delay
And she understands your every thought.
With grace she takes you by the hand
And leads you through a beautiful door into your next wonderland…


And so it continues, for the rest of time
And if you ever want to return, then you just have to think it
And it will be.
Through endless doors
And with the advice of infinite oracles;
Time is non-existent for all,
For this is utopia…
What would you like it to be?

Nobody expects
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Nobody expects.


The meaning of all that has come before,
Is merely the prelude to the story of my life.
If all we become is the thing nobody ever foresaw,
Then wouldn’t that be such a joyful surprise?


When nobody expects,
We can easily become more than they thought.
We become more then they know we are capable of,
When we teach ourselves how to impress them all.
Nobody expects it, so nobody can be prepared,
So the truth is their only answer to your words of despair.


Why can you not aid me in my darkest of times?
When all I need is a sunbeam to shine on my life.
Why can you not hear me call aloud to the butterflies of love?
They are gone now; they flew away from me.
All beauty has disappeared;
The birds are silent and the bees no longer buzz.


Stuck in my ways with no chance of taking my chance to dance,
Because I cannot dance, so I can never hold a hand.
Seen through eyes of contempt, because I refuse to attempt,
To smile and move towards you, through fear of neglect.


Ignored for being silent;
Resented for trying to speak.
Nobody expects anything,
So I will never disappoint you when you expect nothing of me.

You have beauty and charm.
You are interesting and intriguing.
Your soul is dark; I like your art;
When you sink I want to be sinking.


You are hopeful; I’m a romantic.
I think we could do it.
You are as doubtful as I am.
Let’s not even take the chance.
Would you like one final dance,
To say goodbye to what once was,
And all that might have been?
Your smile blew me away, so far;
I like the way you think.


Your mother is a delightful Queen
And it is quite clear that she loves you.
Could you love me too?
Would you allow me to fall in love with you?


With all I only show half my being;
Every piece of me, except the poetry.
I cannot predict what will happen tomorrow,
But the tragedy is what might have been.
Throw our hearts in,
For the truth is…
I only want,
An imaginative artist.

Off to battle again
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Off to battle again.


Another day, another battle, another day to amuse one’s self.
Looking out into the shadowy forest, in search of an acquaintance.
Wolf howls signal the return of the Princes and all is well.
The war has been won and the undead soldiers have been demolished.


Moonlight hovers over the home of the Elves
And inside the forest I find myself,
Hunting the hunter; under darkened skies.
A wolf dives at me and I open fire.


The arrow strikes its head and it falls down dead in the snow.
Its companions will be here somewhere, so I will be ready to fire again.
An elf appears from the mist, so I lower my bow;
It’s good to see you again, old friend.


He tells me of a quest to the undead hordes lair
And after shopping for provisions,
We head off with our band of merry friends.
The healer is annoying, but he will be needed when we get there;
So we allow him his flaws and his errors are not mentioned.


Once more into the darkness; we head into war
And all around us, the skeletons fall.
We grow stronger with age, before, during and after.
At the end of the day, we are new to this no more.

The light has gone


You are my empty space and you have destroyed my soul;
You’ve never given me a true or real feeling.
Everything I thought that my heart had known,
Was ended by your super nova lies and you left me with nothing.


You have a hollow heart and a misplaced soul.
Everything you touch, you break; your hand is still on my heart.
You are empty of love and you steal all hope;
You are the death of love and the muse to my disgraced art.


You punched my heart and gave birth to love
And then you killed me from the inside.
You are a disease of the mind and an eclipse to my sun;
You only leave me blind, because I need the light to shine.


I am trapped here for your amusement;
We are trapped by love and the deception rules.
You knew the truth, but I could not see through it, so now I resent,
Every word you speak, because we have both become fools.


Secrets and lies, just to pass the time.
The heart aches; then it breaks, when the love dies.
Pieces put back together could never fix this love life.
Gone is our future, dead is our past
And love’s light has faded from our eyes.

The Door

The Door


If we are all asleep, then life will remain only a dream.
So fight for love and you will see the end of December.
In books we keep our feelings hidden, these thoughts are never seen.
The alternative is scary, so in our diaries we remember.


The light at the end of a very long tunnel;
The last piece of hope in a hopeless life.
Skip through the morning dew and splash in every puddle;
Electric metal soothes my soul, when my eyes can no longer cry.


We speak in riddles, which lead us to a ring.
In sorrow we find love until the silence returns.
In love we are united and we are able to speak and even sing.
In our naked form, we are insecure; all because love hurts.


Piano keys speak to me.
The haunting voice; a vision of any possibility.
As the violinist draws her bow across the strings,
I find myself lost in a place I have never before seen.


The sun is going down, but the sky remains vivid;
I have never seen a day like this before.
I cannot be sure if I really did see it,
But I can tell you, I think that is what happened…
Of that I am sure.


Now the light has all gone and it is dark once more;
So I will rest my head upon the ground
And wish I could be anywhere but here.
If only, we could be, beyond that door.

Love is gone
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Love is gone


All the times that we had, like a star they explode.
Now they are to stay gone and you are no longer all that I know.
What I need; what I had.  It is all gone into the past.
Like a piece of history, she is gone and she is never coming back.


It was us until the end and now we are not even friends;
Just an ex on a life map and there is no turning back.
There is no way to recall all the love that is now on the floor.
Shattered dreams are all gone and now all I can hear is our song.


Now I just keep on playing it on repeat;
I keep a piece of you inside of me and I have lost a piece of me.
We were broken by three and now we will never be.
Just a memory of what we were;
Just the fading traces of our lost love.
Just a painful heartache;
This result feels so unjust.


All the love that we shared
And all those times I thought I would never forget;
All those memories I wanted to keep inside my head.
They are all gone now…


We cannot say what we want to tell each other,
Without sounding mean.
It was meant to be you and me;
Now we have lost out on everything.


All the pictures I will delete;
I do not want a single memory.
Not a thought of you to cross my mind.  
My mind is made; we have had our time
And if I could turn back time,
I would take back some of the words that I said;
But I just cannot forget,
What we have lost…
Now this love is dead.


They say move on with your life,
But I cannot because you were my life
And now I stand here alone,
With your number still on my phone.
If I do press delete, then you are truly gone
And this is truly it.
I wish it didn’t have to be,
But it must, but still…no delete.
My finger waits over your name;
I could remove all my pain,
But still I cannot remove you from me.


Now all love is in the past, afar, just as you are
And as I walk down the street, I see you talking in a bar,
With a smile on your face, with another man in my place.
Oh my God, I hate this day!
Why could I not just find a way,
To give you what you needed from me?  
It was never me that you needed.


It was him or anyone else; I am simply gone.
I am now lost in my own nightmares.
I only wish that you could still care;
But you no longer do, so I say you never did.
This does not heal my love;
It is truly broken,
Because I am so stupid.

An illusion of happiness
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
An illusion of happiness


If no love is faithful, then love does not truly exist.
If we are not of one consciousness, then we are simply nothing.
If we are heading in opposite directions,
Then we are no longer together;
So can I make a simple suggestion?


You go your own way and I will stand still.
Go climb your mountain tops, as I sit at the bottom of the hill.
You can reach for the moon; I will dig myself a grave.
You can go on without me, because you and I are not the same.


My idea of love is a castle, now in ruins.
Your perfect palace still shines,
So what are we doing?
You are so full of hope, whilst I am only ever helpless,
So I think it is for the best that we split up;
So we break up
And I will just leave love to the rest.


You can continue searching when I am gone,
Because I know you have already begun to look for love.
You must travel your own journey,
Because to me love is not real
And it is no fun.
It is an illusion of happiness,
So take it all with you,
Because;
With love;
I am done.

Desert Dog

Desert Dog


Lying in the sun like a desert dog;
I have a glass in one hand and my lover in the other.
Hand in hand we lie here, telling truths under the sun.
So peaceful here, like it has been for years;
How things change with time, but never my lover.


She remains at the very centre of my gargantuan heart;
She has always been here and I hope here she stays.
Her words are like flames that caress my soul in the dark.
We have no need for words in this moment,
Because we are happy here, at a quarter to midday.
Summer is still my favourite time;
I hate the cold, I love this love life!


Broken into pieces are the daydreams of peace that I had;
I said what I said, there ain’t no turning back.
Live a life so full of regrets;
Never do a single thing that I have ever said.
Procrastinate, every single day;
Everything I say is only ever said in jest.


“Less is more”; her smile has disappeared from her face.
We are no longer laughing together because of our liquid state.
I will have to sell my soul to her, to pave the way,
To healing her mood and seeing her smile once again.


Burning in the sun over there is a memory,
I lost a vital piece of my empathy.
Love could die, given enough time;
Lest we forget that it is all on the line.


So passionate about her, but so drunk on stupidity.
She is the one who I love; now she will not speak to me.
No melody can exist inside this mind,
Without her to assemble,
These jagged edged pieces of a damaged rhyme.
Put us back together with a happier time…

I spilt her wine…
And Everything…
Is not…
Alright.

Her heart
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Her heart


There she goes into my words without prose.
I cannot continually write about my sweet dream-rose,
Who will never know,
How I feel about her.
My missing words all a blur.
Hidden beneath my fears, so never heard, so hard to speak,
Of needful things, because I have no belief in me, to believe in.


I am not the important one;
She is yet to hear my song bird singing only for her.
Her songs, the endless rivers hum;
I never braved the rejection of what I truly want.
Love is all I want from her, but she is fading from view,
Because of my lack of nerves.
No bottle, just desire,
Walking away alone, never to return.


A single entity to be passionate about
And I can never let my words out,
Because all I think is never said aloud.
I would if I could, but I don’t know how.


The words of romance are unknown to me;
The words of love are a mystery.
The right thing to say is all that I need,
But my foot in my mouth ruins everything.


I cannot hope because nothing is good.
I cannot stop thinking; I wish that I could,
But still I have fire running through my blood,
So passionate about her, but so stuck in the mud,
That is my mind; it has no sign, of ever showing me,
How to become the person I am on the inside.


Everyone has opinions of my image.
Nobody can see what I imagine in my mind.
Everyone thinks I don’t try to improve my finish,
But this is the only ending that I can write…

Because I never will win her heart.

Fixing holes with good intentions.


Lions and tigers,
Dolphins and earthquakes.
Liars with cider,
Have nothing to say.


Animals and insects,
Bugs for breakfast.
Mammals need ***,
So find true love and get wed.


Life is a milk tray;
Oh behave!
Nothing left to say,
So gonna leave to get paid.


Fortune tellers remain silent.
Two moon sellers, offer no guidance.
A magic hat is a box of tricks.
Forget about that; keep it real or quit it!


Lions and tigers,
Dolphins and earthquakes.
Fliers and riders;
We are all running away.


Life is a bad day, work is a chore.
Write it right, or do not say,
I could do with more.


If you don’t care,
Then give up what you are;
But if you are prepared,
Then we can build a heart.

The ashes of a phoenix heart


If just once more we could start again,
Then you could find that in me you have always,
Had the kind of person you want me to be;
But at this moment in time, you are unable to see.


Let us fix this fight and once more live one life.
You have your doubts and I guess that is ok,
But you must know that I never lied.
Things are not fine, but give it time
And maybe we could once more rise.

From the ashes
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
From the ashes


All my words are bulletproof;
Shout at me and your words I will use.
Everything I took from you,
Left me feeling battered and bruised.


Things are always meaningless,
Unless you take them to your chest.
Then they become more than less;
Letters become sentences.


Power comes from inside your mind;
Thoughts are gold and these thoughts are mine.
I would change the world if I could find the time,
But wishes explode and the remains rise up into the sky.


Lightning never strikes here twice,
So build a home after a lightning strike.
From the air into the ground;
My whole world comes crashing down.


Pick my life up with a dust pan and brush;
I am broken – I am trust.
I could never give a fudge,
To anyone that I didn’t love.

Just another day
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Just another day.


Another day of hurt;
Another day of pain;
Another day of sorrow;
Just another day.


Another day of heartache;
Another day of love walking away;
Another day of tears;
Just another day.


Another day in Hell;
Another day of feeling the same;
Another sad tale of woe;
Just another day.


Another pathetic poem;
Another day of going insane;
Another day of feeling jealous;
Just another day.


Another day to end it all;
Another suicidal thought;
Another day of rain;
Just another day.

Super Hero movies are boring.


I’m just casting wishes out into the atmosphere,
Casually hoping that somebody will hear.
Send me a sign, a reply or a solid cheer
And I will smile, I will grow stronger
And if you really affect me I will shed a tear.


But it will be a tear of happiness; sadness is unwelcome tonight,
For I have heard the poetic sounds from way down inside.
I am unable to be perfect, but born to be write.
Think fast, create, be natural and arise.


We are building a future one wish at a time.
We are dancing through ice daggers that fall from the sky.
We are leaping over fires that rage throughout the night.
They are the starlight; we are the guardians of the light.


Fantastic beasts and magical creatures.
We cannot be defeated by fear; we have curiosity and extra senses.
We see through all that blinds us from the future we are seeking
And when our time is spent, we will be gracious
And we will accept your desire for us to stop speaking.
