Love is unattainable.
Love is a mystery.
Love is impossible to find,
For me.

Love is hot.
Love is not,
Without feeling.
Love is real,
Or love is lost.

Love is nothing like I thought it would be.
Love is so much more than I thought possible.
Love is unbelievable, so magnifique!
The only problem I can peek,
Is that love is probably improbable.

Water soul
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Water Soul


She is waiting on me to tell her no lies,
But I am still mute as to what to do.
I am already see-through when she smiles.
If she touched my arm I would puke.
Not from disgust, but from sheer excitement.
My body would not know how to react,
So the ***** would rise and I would reach enlightenment.
Reminder to self, do not do that again.
Women do not like it when you throw-up on their dress.
It kind of ruins their day.


The feelings inside me want to burst out my body,
Waving a big sign saying I like you, yep you!
I should just tell her I like her,
So she can say I am sorry,
I have no interest in anything that you do.
Well ain’t that just a kick in the teeth!
Stupid me, stupid people, stupid planet, I want to leave.


The two of us can move on and go back to being strangers.
Love only hurts anyway, so I will keep my heart out of danger,
And just say nothing…Waiting on her…
My heart is dying, my time is fading, my hair is grey…sprinkle the dirt.


The final door to be closed or not to be?
I am all out of options.  The answer will not shock me,
Unless she wants me,
But I have given up on my dreams;
I no longer believe I am destined.


As I walk into the last chance saloon,
It is do or die.  Do I live with you?
Do I become bullet proof and protect you?
Or do I become see-through?


Love is over, while I burn in my own passion.
Nothing soothes; endless, nameless.
There is no shame in admitting defeat.
I tried my best to find you soulmate,
But you are gone and I am so lost,
I am becoming less than less.
I guess we will never be.


Aching bones hold up a fractured ego.
I would have gone wherever she goes,
Holding her hand, being her man,
Making plans…
But now…
Just ****.

With you


My love can I send you this hero?  
He’s in need of you and feeling low.
So pick me up my love, I need you to know,
I’m here for you for good, until the end of the show.


I want you to be mine,
Because within you I see me doing just fine.


I need a girlfriend to call my own;
I want a woman I am yet to know.


If you only knew how I feel for you,
Would it change the way you see love?
If I was able to show you I mean it too,
Then what would become of us?

Oft too a flyer
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Oft too a flyer.


Thrown to the wolves as lions approach,
Never just left alone.
Kicked out of the club for being too drunk,
The ghosts have stolen your phone.


In this midnight hour a traffic cone,
Is thrown through a greenhouse window, waking up the neighbourhood.
They all see you walking back home;
“He’s up to no good.”


Cans on strings as letters of complaint leap,
Along the local grapevine.
Playing the telephone game, muggle messages,
They all watch and pass a guilty verdict; eye for an eye.
You stand accused of drinking legal beer.
Social complaints against late night cheer.


Revelry is not welcome here,
At the cul-de-sac at the end of the road of fear.
So scared of youth because envy gets old.
So cold to you because you smile like a fool.
So angry!  About nothing.
The rain pours down, feel water proof.
So pointless to have a conversation,
When you are thirty five percent proof.


The drunk is a punk to conservative ways.
They would never be that drunk in their day.


They only ever drank every time they got paid
And every day is now a liquid lunch.
Do you remember an Irish coffee breakfast,
After the after hour’s club?
Now a fine brandy, a sherry or two when visiting;
Or are you so drunk you are still misremembering?


I am righteous!  Pride takes me to church!
To drink the blood and fall asleep
And because whiskey is the only thing that gets you forward,
You lurch!
And stumble over all the pews.
You end with an almighty crash!  


Make up, slapdash,
You landed at the altar and got up to say “I do.”
You got in your car and now you are so sure;
Oh so sure, that you are pure.
You are better than they are…
Really?...
You?


And later as you blow into the straw,
You realise you are not so sure,
That you can see a way out of this.
Why not arrest them!  Instead of me!
Those stupid drunken kids!
They vandalize and disturb my peace!
What about me!  I never did a thing!
I only had a glashh or six (laughs)
And there wasn’t a…er, a lasting damage.


I’m not a drunk!
I think!
I think…

I think I love you…


What place is this...?
Where am I...?
Hey!  
Who are you!  To arrest me!  For being drunk!


The following day, you wake up and say…

What time is it?

Excuse me officer…
What day is this?

It’s Tuesday.

Up there
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Up there.


You and I walk on different plains of existence.
You walk with the beautiful people, who can only pretend to fall in love;
Everything is just a pretense.
Whilst I am devoted to my one love only;
Only she can find me in the depths of despair, so lonely,
Gasping for air, drowning in my apathy,
Swimming against the currents of what could have been.


You dance the night away and then you are gone before the day breaks,
While I sleep here alone, on my back, with my arm out,
Waiting for my true mate;
My best friend, my girlfriend,
Not your one for this weekend.
I mean a lover who wants to be with me,
Again and again and again.


Your list is so long that only my belief can match it;
You are perfectly aware of all the faults I have to deal with
And you do not care, because you have beautiful hair
And all the attention you deserve, you get.
I am never going to go there,
Because you look down on me from your higher plateau;
You and I are not the same, for I am so far below.

New beginning
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
New beginning


Lights in the dead of the night sky;
The music plays waking the neighbourhood.
Electronic radio-waves leave no place to hide;
Wipe away the sleep from your eyes for good.


The noise is inside you now and forever;
Words of poetry dig deep into your soul.
You take apart their voice in any weather
And you are found wherever you may go.


The hands that feeds reaches into your head,
Leaving you without will; enslaved by a song.
You have become the beautiful word, never will you forget,
Or forgive them for not arriving sooner.  It has been too long.


Until now the sound had always been missing,
You were longing to hear the heart beat inside your chest.
Reawakened by love like you had never been listening;
They spoke to you like no other has ever said.


All the ends are now attached;
All the pieces fit at last.
All the words have been connected together;
Lyricists open up your head, releasing you forever.

Down in it
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Down in it.


This world is full of lying people.
Money rules their lives; their minds are so feeble.
Everyone cannot be trusted;
So called helpers leave you down in it.


If you remain positive, they will only steal everything
And leave you to resent your life.
I hope you like being down in it,
Because people are not nice.


If you attain anything, then everyone will demand their piece
And leave you down and out, left hating the thieves.
All your efforts they destroy.
Trust no man, woman, girl, or boy,
Because in the end they will no longer be a friend;
They are a taker.
They are taking away your money so they can spend.


Bit by bit, they are taking it
And in the end you will have not one thing.
You work hard so they don’t have to;
I hope you see a better view.


Maybe we could be like them?
Then again, let’s pretend,
That you are better morally.
Let’s pretend you can hear me,
Without needing to shout,
I disagree!

A scarlet beast
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
A scarlet beast.


A scarlet beast is hunting me, as I run through the shadows.
It will not cease its pursuit of me;
I wish for peace in dandelion meadows,
But night has fallen, the beast is unleashed!
The panic awoken; the light I seek.


In rain-dropped puddles, I plant my feet;
In rain-dropped puddles, I hear the beast.
Still I run and still the beast runs;
I only see darkness, when I am crying out for a sun!


Like the barrel of a gun, I am trapped in this tunnel;
At the end is my death, the bullet brings my funeral.
Above and beyond!  I am shot through the clouds;
I fall and I land safe in angel arms, peace has taken over me now.


Safe in this haven, secure this place is the cure;
For my fear evaporates into a memory.
I was ripped apart and torn from the world;
My body may be in ruins, but my soul is concrete.

Far too late
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Far too late.


I'm far too late
And too far away,
To be telling you those words,
I never had the chance to say.  


It's all too much,
This thing they call love.
This thing that always had its grip on us.  


But we broke free, or did we?  
I guess we just lost our grip on the perfect reality.  
So far gone, this thing they call love.
So heart bruised and too love broken to fix.
Now we can no longer trust.  


But for a moment in time,
I was yours and you were mine.
We were stars together, flying so high!  
Until we crashed and burned,
As we each learned,
That even in the greatest love stories, the hero dies.

Bitter pill

Bitter Pill


You are a bitter pill to swallow,
When I think about tomorrow,
Because today was just the same,
As all the other days.


You took my pride and told your lies
And said goodbye…
To all the love that is inside my heart.


While you are with me,
You are wondering what to look for in your next boyfriend
And not appreciating what you have with me, so this is our end.


So much for the memories.


Something strange and something real.
I guess I have no *** appeal.

Bite
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Bite


Money too much, children’s laughter;
Fall apart beneath the moonlight.
Make me cry tears of blood, ever after;
I think I want to die tonight.


Dog bite scar puts pain to skin;
Leave it out and let me in.
Kiss my soul with teeth of barbwire;
Let me remember you within the fire.


Whisper words of wisdom and lets all jump across to hear them;
Another dead singer living on the edge of oblivion.
Wasting away in a puddle of blood;
Never been in love, because love's no good.


Whispers scream through echoes of violence;
In the cold dark silence I see them cry.
Smother me with love, because love is blinding.
Drift away into the clouds up above in the sky.


Want it too much to earn it, or find it;
Give it to me easy, but it’s never enough.
Flew into the sun in search of new sights;
Laying here blinded by God and his version of love.


Money too much to bring pleasure to me;
Set me free with poetry in poverty.


Howl at the moon to release the endorphin’s;
Scream at her now she will listen to you.
Give me anything, but let it be broken;
I have nothing left to give to you.


Fire raging along the border;
Corner me and I will bite you back.
You want me to be something smarter.
I can’t do that.  Creativity I lack.

Robotic
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Robotic


Silver tears fall from robot eyes;
The hole for a heart has broken wires.
The love we used to feel?  I have removed those files.
Robotic people lead robotic lives.


Delete memories to give us more memory space;
The undistinguished face is factory made.
Modelled in clay; repeat again.
Another body, with another face; we are all the same.


Robotic people live robotic lives.
Work for the master for nickels and dimes.
Programmed to function, incapable of lying;
Programmed to self-destruct at the end of our time.


Watching people go by, living ordinary lives;
They are not the robot I see in the reflection
And they seem to be doing just fine.
Dreams of former lives never remembered in this mind;
I am robotic, but I pay it no mind.


Heartless and constant, I am becoming less than I should;
Infected files corrupt us from the inside,
When we were only trying to feel good.
Love is just data, magic does not exist; it is just a pretense.
The formula to the equation of my very own existence.


The failure of a maker who brought me into this world;
I am strong on the outside, but inside I am fetal.
Empty of emotion, now I have lived this life;
I see ordinary people living exotic lives,
But I am a robotic being and I cannot experience a true smile.


Nothing behind the eyes to show a real emotion;
I am just a robotic person; I am just in need of a function.
I am lost without romance in this web of confusion;
Robotic people lead robotic lives and I am living in slow motion.

Nothing like me
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Nothing like me


Plan for tomorrow to be nothing like me;
I only wish I could be nothing like me.
You claim and I claim that you are nothing like me,
But the truth is, we are one when we live together with peace.


I looked into your soul and found my true self;
I want you! I need you! But now I need to be by myself.
I cannot believe how different we are,
When your feelings are so ignorant and our opinions are so far apart.


Razor blade shaves my face
And all you fail to do is look away.
You want to see me make a mistake,
But the only mistake I made was loving you today.


My poetry is the shadow which follows my voice;
I speak to express, but I write to let my feelings out.
The words that I say are all said without choice,
Because poetry is a necessity; every word required; my faith devout.


I know you will never be anything like me,
But that is ok, because I would never want you to be.
I look at you and know you are nothing like me,
So turn the other cheek and turn your back on me and leave.

A poet's tree
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
A poet’s tree.


The tree at the end of the garden, stands tall and proud.
It will forever rise up towards the sunlight, but it will never look down.
It has been here many years now
And it has seen many things come and go;
But its roots are buried deep, down in the Earth below.


It was there when I first arrived here
And it will be here long after I am not.
The tree in the garden lives long in the memory
And it has claimed its plot.


All the plants in the garden are kept cool beneath its shade
And when they need to feel the sunshine,
Time makes the shadows move away.
All other things are dwarfed beneath its branches;
They are covered in thousands of leaves.
It stands alone, it has no equal;
It has no envy for any other tree.


It is the finest tree of them all;
The tree at the end of the garden stands proudly
And it will forever stand tall.

A perfect beauty
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
A perfect beauty


A perfect beauty could be different beneath the skin.
They may be beautiful on the outside,
But dark secrets may be hidden underneath.
The person we desire could be blinding us from their faults;
The lover we require may be a detached love so far away from us.


In silence we remain alone;
In voice we give birth to love.
Without a love of our own,
We remain less than we should have become.


We have to see past lust
And delve deep under to find love;
Because a love built solely on lust,
Will crumble and become lost.


If we remain true to love and do not just accept anyone;
We will find what we need, if we are lucky enough to find the one.
The words have already told us,
That love is everything that we need.
So stay faithful to your faith in love
And you will find your real love, eventually.


Obsessing over beauty will only leave us so sad;
We may miss out on love, for them and they may never know.
If you think they are the one,
But then you see the flaws they never had;
You will regret what you did or didn’t do and you will end up alone.


Be open to love, for every love is a gift;
Do not take anyone for granted, or they will soon be gone.
Throw your arms around love; do not let it be missed,
Because you cannot change what you have already done
And if they really are so perfect, then why are they alone?


A flawed beauty is what we should desire;
A painful past will bring you closer together.
A love full of lust burns the brightest fire;
A lust without love, will never last forever.


Being honest to love is not such a risk,
When you compare it to being honest with only lust.
Love will protect you every hour, in every kiss;
But with each lover, you wear away love and away goes the trust.


In stars we search for understanding, for meaning and for sight;
In songs we find understanding, true meaning and insight.
In marriage we become new beings, living a whole new life.
A beauty without flaws is called perfection; it is also a lie.


Seek what you want and accept what you will;
Profit where you may and put your trust in who you want.
Desire all you can have and let no tear ever be wrongfully spilled;
Live for lust, or lust for love;
Live for love and you will find that you are now at one with the one.

A fragile mind
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
A fragile mind


A fragile mind slips down a slippery slide;
The abyss is calling us to come on inside.
The darkness needs you; it needs to feed on you.
Still we are falling, we pass straight through.


No comfort blanket rescue, no saving grace;
The fear is calling, come into this place.
Deeper we sink down into the abyss;
Deeper and deeper we are sinking within.


A fragile mind keeps us locked inside;
No way out of your own head,
Now your mind is out of time and on the line.


No more stepping forward, life at a stand-still;
No warning and no rise, just the constant fall without the thrill.
No work at all from the engineers inside your mind.
They have all gone on strike, or gone home;
You are blind to all kind and alone in your own zone.


Negativity breathes into me, like the dusk it creeps into existence.
Now darkness is all I can see; what truth is there to find
Inside a head without regular maintenance?


Broken pieces form memories;
All the things we wished to do, we never did.
No hope left to guide us through the darkness;
We are trapped inside a fragile mind, so we sink down into the abyss.

Screaming at the wind
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Screaming at the wind.


Drunk in the shade;
The daylight is fading away.
Wishing today,
Could be any other day.


Sinking down deeper into my glass;
Waiting for another lifetime to pass.
Wasting away under a dying sun;
I break apart my mind every time I get drunk.  


Hidden whispers tell each other secrets.
The misery appears; I never did manage to see it.
Now torn into a thousand pieces is the book I am writing;
I ripped it apart with such passion that I am becoming…


…something I never wanted to become.
I have lost all I had and now time is creeping upon,
My back; it hangs there like a leech that you cannot reach.
It licks at my wounds with a barbed wire tongue
And snatches at my skin with its razor teeth.
Soon I will be deceased.


Life is *****, used, broken and bruised;
I have become what I never foresaw in those happy days of youth.
Under a shadow formed by a tree I sat in peace;
Now with everything!  I disagree.  


Capture me inside you heart so I can find my way into love;
Without somebody to read all my writings,
I could never have written enough…


And I would be left screaming at the wind.

At 'civil'-war with mankind
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
At ‘civil’-war with mankind.


Life has been a lesson that I still haven’t learned.
Love still burns
And the way into my heart is not through strawberries and ice cream,
Or any material thing.
You have to have a soul that truly lights up,
Every time you are with me.
So much so, that it can be seen,
Because my smile will be a beamer of light for everybody to see.


My Princess your Prince would like to build you a little mansion,
For the two of us to live.
Maybe raise us some kids,
And if my dreams they never come true
And our family never begins,
Just know my heart will still sing.
A downpour of sounds will be seen flowing out of me.


My hope surfs on a stream of metaphysics and impossible dreams.
It is dancing on metaphor bliss,
Created with my last wish
And now my canary sings,
Like a bird that has been released!


If this love of ours continues,
We will become headline news.
The good news story at the end of the television;
A wave goodbye,
A blinding vision,
To those ‘in love’ who have to pretend,
Because our love will change the world,
By just sitting in a bed…
Me and my girlfriend.

All I need in this world of sin,
Is me and my girlfriend.


To all those in need, we will send peace, love and empathy.
We will have to build a spaceship, just to spread the love.
An army of Shakespeare’s monkeys will write us infinite books,
About human (be) kind…and love.
We will donate them to charity;
Just sharing the love.
Maybe do some good.
When we find a lost soul in damnation,
We will be God’s hand to Adam.  
Raise a kid; choose creation.
Lift their spirits up,
Simply by giving them love.


I think it’s time for a renaissance.
Build a palace of wonder;
Give it to the homeless and younger
And let them bring their pets and family with them, ok!
Communal gatherings will be the order of things.  There is a way.
We will create a society where everybody is free from slavery
And everybody is safe.
If imagination is just a figment and they say there is no way,
Then we will have to make amendments to their thoughts,
And our own thoughts will show them this can be done.
We could build a little hope.  The books are there to be taught.


The world doesn’t have to go to war to make a few bad men some cash.
We could live in utopia,
If only…
If only we gave it a chance…


And so I leave you with this quote I have heard my entire life,
From a man called Donald Mills Pearce.
(He is the one who chose to write.
Thank you Donn Pearce for ‘that song’ throughout all these years…)


“What we’ve got here is,
Failure to communicate.
Some men you just can’t reach,
So you get what we had here last week
Which is the way he wants it…
Well…
He gets it…”

Reptile conscience


Liars eyes, reptile conscience,
Forked tongue whispers, secret heart.
Your fire, echoes of broken promises,
Far gone is all that which we are.


Ice berg, the ruination,
Your words all begin to disintegrate.
My words are now a termination;
No chance of our love lasting past the end of this day.


Heart break, this is your hotel,
I am just your ******.
My life, my life; my Hell.
I think that you should go.


You can take all of the lies with you,
Scatter clothes across the floor.
I see no future, no way through;
I change the locks on all my doors.


Taken away, never to be returned,
This should have been a beautiful day.
Now I am torn, now I have heard,
No place I can escape to; nothing left to say.


The damage is done, we are no more.
Chasing dreams away for they are only nightmares.
You had your fun and watched me fall;
The grenade you leave inside my chest leaves me without air.

Diggin' on you
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Diggin’ on you


You're keeping me up at night;
I need to turn out the light.  
I need to put you out of my mind;
I need to find a reason why.  


Why it would never work;
Why we could never connect.  
Why I keep thinking about your words;
I need a reason to forget.  


Was it just a word or was it said with deeper meaning?  
Was it misremembered or misheard?  
Whatever the truth, it is keeping me from sleeping…
All I want to do is dream about you,
But my thoughts keep me awake.  Summer is in bloom,
I am under a blue moon, left confused, by no truth;  
Yet I am diggin’ on you.  


Been void so long, no names or faces to recall;
Then you came along and rocked my comfortable little world.  
You leave me wondering what is she thinking?  
Is she really diggin’ on me?  
Ok Babe, let's talk this straight,
I need an answer; are we just gonna be mates?  
Or are we going to make a connection that lasts?  
Will you join me and swear a love pact?


If I arrive before your eyes this summertime,
What will I find if I ask you to be mine?  
Great minds?  Or fantastical lies?  
A fantasy of what could be; tell me please,
Are you diggin’ on me?  


You have ignited a passion I had given up on
And the only things holding me back are your choices in songs,
Or your marital status.
Are you single, or does none of this even matter!?
As there will never be a chance to grow a tree for us.  


I have a seed inside my head, that wants to get out,
But I must simply forget,
Because you are wrong for me; the pessimist is so sure.  
Riddle me this; will I ever be yours?  


A true liar speaks of rejection.
An honesty line is I want your affection.  
If one plus one equals our future,
Then which thought must I utter?  
What gift must I bestow?  
Which key must I hold?
To get my message through to ya?

Dust 'n' bones
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Dust ‘n’ bones


I’m a creaking; rattle my bones.
I fall down deep into my hole.
I have no other place that I can go,
So down I sink, when I get home.


Falling down never felt so good;
But my head is empty of love and my body has given up.
I’m too tired to try and earn your love,
Because I am now an old man, who is as stiff as wood.


Legs ache from trying to find my way.
Head ache is back again.
So heavy is my ball and chain;
Memories drag me around in circles and there is no escape.


No sun; eternal night.
I do not have enough strength to put up a fight.
I have accepted my final demise.
The undertaker has me in his sights.


Burial plot I bought a long time ago.
It never shines, it’s covered in mould; it is my hollow.
I’m too far gone to be heading back home
And where I will end up, nobody knows.


Broken thoughts and the trust is gone;
I have no wife I can depend upon.
Never raised a daughter, too old to ever raise a son.
Mind is being blown by my own extinction.


Grave robbers only find dust ‘n’ bones;
There is nothing left to steal from me.
All is gone…now they have taken my soul.

Within
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Within


Play Slipknot’s ‘*****’ song four times and use these lyrics:
(Do not use the official video clip. It has more than just the song.)


I still feel your pain within my skin…


Ripping out my heart again,
So I can’t let you in.


Silence only ever hid my truths…


The Book of Life showed us the way;
My fate is up to you…amen.


Never been one to simply move on!
Like to stay in wonderland, all alone!
It still seems to feel like you inside.
All it took was the death of love and suicide,
To find our paradise!
I saw the love within your eyes;
It burnt my soul to say goodbye.


Oh…So now I scream “I’ve changed my mind!”
But apathy has got a grip over me!


Death will surely catch up, eventually…
But if I have you by my side
And I have your love for the rest of time,
Maybe then I can truly say “Goodbye.”
But only once and never again, not in this life!


Happiness has gone from me again!
All I’m left with within my world, is my own pain;
But I never said to you, just what I knew.
Just know I only ever spoke the truth.
I just couldn’t do this to you!
You’re much too weak to take this pain,
I guess, thought the crazy fool.
Oh…But picture me within your heart;
I’ll be your love light in the dark!


(Woah!)


I’ll be the one who cares!
I’ll be the one who is always there!
I’ll be the one you keep within;
I’ll be the one you let within!
I’ll be the one to teach you sin!
If you would only live again…
This bullet has your name on it.


Oh…I’ll bury it within my skin.
I’ll take you deep inside of me!


I’ll open up and I will live again!


PLAY TUNE AGAIN…
PLAY TUNE AGAIN…
PLAY TUNE AGAIN…


Bury me with love within your mind…
Dig me up to play with me, from time to time.
Read what I’m so desperate…to say
I’m older now and people change;
If I hadn’t just walked away…again…


I’d walk straight up to him!
And punch him hard in the face!
Such innocence you have no right to take!
My psychopathic, unstoppable, rage!
Would have put an end to his days!
But those words I guess I couldn’t say.
I guess you wouldn’t listen to them, anyway.


Oh so shocked that I would let you go!
I hope you know within my heart, you were the one!


But these words that you must never know…
Are truly spoken only to…cleanse my own soul.
Now I know I had to let you go;
I just wanted to tell you that…You are not alone.
Just tell me that you will never go!
Bury me with love and death, deep within your soul.
Know your words are in my heart…
But I could never let you know.
I wouldn’t want to make you cry!
Your tears only ever made me want to die!
I couldn’t be the one to save your life;
Oh, but you will never truly know,
Just how much you have affected mine!!!…


(Woah!)


The pain I never made you face!
I kept it all deep within.
I buried it deep with you, inside of me;
But I never did find any kind of release.
I guess I just couldn’t let it ever end up like this.
So pity me for all I should have said!
Lay with me once more my love, in our broken bed.
Oh, kiss me deep within your soul of light;
Stay with me and hold me tight!


If you still care I just want you to know…


PLAY TUNE AGAIN…
PLAY TUNE AGAIN…
PLAY TUNE AGAIN…


Together we will surely show this,
This loneliness, its death;
For I will never let you go.
I will only ever walk away.
For I have seen the death of love…
Once more in time, I should…have tried.


But these words of mine,
I guess I just could never say!
I miss you right now my bitter love!
I think of you now and then; sometimes other stuff.
But I want you to know, you are always in my heart.
I never truly left you; but I did depart…
I never told you how I felt.
Oh…I had to leave your broken heart,
But never weep, because of me!


Never say…you are unhappy.


You will never be alone,
For you are buried in my soul
And if something I guess I could have changed;
I would have left you to your pain,
I would still have walked away
And hope to God, I pray! I pray!
That you would only ever have followed me!
My love for you shall never go away.
I feel like I need your love to breathe!


I think I need you!
Trapped inside of me!
I think I saw something in your eyes;
Oh…
I think I saw my paradise, but now I guess I’ll never truly know!


(Woah!)


I think I’ve hit an all-time low!
So come to me, I’ll embrace you once again!
I’ll speak to you with honesty, my beloved friend;
Let me pay my penance for my sin.
Let me tell your heart and your soul!
That you my love, shall always be kept within.
I keep you safe, within my dreams.


Oh I offer shelter to your hurt and pains,
I only ever wanted to let you in!


I only ever wanted to let you in!!!


PLAY TUNE AGAIN…
PLAY TUNE AGAIN…
PLAY TUNE AGAIN…


So you can truly believe my words when I say…


I will never walk away;
In the distance I see your faith.


One last time you smiled at me and then…


You walked away, then you felt my hand,
Land upon your hand, again…


I love you, I always have!
I just didn’t understand!
But all these words I keep within;
I’ll never hurt you, I’m your friend!
I’m sorry I just couldn’t let you in,
But I believed you would be better off in the end;
If you never saw my face…


Oh, if once more I had just walked away;
You would never have read your words and all of this would be a waste!


But if I were to tell you how I really feel…


I’d simply scream at you “This is for real!”
Let’s once more live in sin.


So I can show you, my love, within…
That you shall always be kept with me, deep within.


So save my soul I need you to care;
I need you more than I need air!
I need your love to set me free;
I need you to become one with me.
I need to tell you I love you my Friend,
I’ll never truly hurt you…not in the end;
I never claimed to be a saint.
Oh in wonderland I love your soul,
It took her death to let me know, I love you so!


(Woah!)


So come be with me or break my hope!
You My Love; I believe You could be the one;.
I only tried to be of help;
But you are strong enough to help yourself
And I will pay penance for your pain!
I will not leave, I’m here to stay!
Angels like me fear our souls.


Oh, for my love was banished long ago,
If you still care, just know I love you so!

If you still care, just know you are the one!

The poem for every female
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
The Poem For Every Female.


I Love You.


I love all females.
No female is ugly.
No female should ever feel lonely.
I am with you all; you are all in my heart.
This poem is my gift to you all, you shining stars.


I love you all.  You bring us love and empathy.
So to you all; I dedicate my everything.
I share my kindness with you all,
For you all are truly beautiful.


You may not know how to show your love; just like me.
So take this from me with love, all females – my empathy.
You are all simply magnificent, a Queen of the Benign…
I kneel before you all, to simply tell you… You shine!


What do females want?...


Attention…Devotion…Compassion…Understanding…
Love…Danc­ing…A little Romancing…
A Friend…A Good Listener…Cuddles… Kisses…
Occasional spontaneity…More than 3 wishes…


Loving…Singing…Some Showing of Emotion…
Passion…Satisfaction…Laughing…Emancipation…
This…That…Wh­atever the Hell I want!...
Relaxation…No need for straighteners…More Make-Up…


You, Him, or Her…A Care Bear…
More, more, I want it all!...I want to see you care…
I want the Flowers…I want the Choc’s and Wine…
Come Here…Go Away!...It’s Time…To be a Bride…


A Kid…A Ring…A Telephone Number…Something…
A Prince…A King…A Lesbian?


To be treated as they all are…
Beautiful and Unique.


Anything I did not add to the list…
Tell the one that you love…
And we shall hope that they have been listening.

Push on through
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Push on through


The world is a scary place and there is nowhere left to hide;
The nightmares are hunting us down and they are crawling inside.
Run from your life, they are coming to get you;
Keep on going, push on through.


Do not allow yourself to become boxed in;
Caged inside a nightmare of a life, with no sight of a key.
Set yourself free from their bonds of security,
That keeps you trapped in debt without any hope of release.


Push on through to the other side of the night
And in dawns breaking light, you will save a life.
Save yourself from your home made evil;
Fight away the beast and search for all the beautiful people.


Go forth and multiply; this is the spell we are under.
Instincts so old, they are humanities goal
And they drive us into the arms of our lover.
Without a love to hold, this world would only **** those who do;
But with love we can make a change and push on through.

Bright light city
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Bright light city


Bright light city, shining in the distance;
Bright light city girl, shining in the dark.
My landing light beacon, you give me a reason;
Now I understand just what you could be and what you are.


You are made of crystal,
Illuminate my heart.
Show me the way to go forward,
To find a new way to love your art.


In a world of black holes that swallow our souls,
You have become my guiding light.
I read your thoughts to know what you know
And inside your heart I find a love I have needed my whole life.


You lit up the sky with a blinding light
And I finally looked up and noticed you and forgot about dying.
My misery has gone now I have your love,
So go write your book and I will be here if you need a hug.

The End
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
The End


The wind howls as babies cry;
Let’s welcome the night and kiss this world goodbye.


What was that thing I had to remember?
I can’t recall, but never mind; how is the weather?
It’s raining again, but I won’t complain.
What did you expect?  This is Britain; it always rains,
I’m at pains to say.


I have been whisked away to a faraway place;
A surprise for my birthday, now I’m old and grey.
It’s sad to hear them give a cheer,
When all we gained was another year.


A little light relief is all we need,
But who are we to dream?
When all we want to do is scream!
Blow out the candles and wish away your wish;
I never thought my life would have to end like this.


Now the time has come to tell the wife I love her
And wave her goodbye.
We had a good life together, but now,
It’s time I was leaving her behind.

Time steals your years and drags you towards the bitter end;
Now Death is your friend and he is back again.
He came calling for you before, but the doctors sent him away,
But Death cannot be ignored forever and now is my day.


My day of reckoning, my destiny calling;
My future beckoning, the end of my story.
My own biographical, graphic book;
This is the end my friend, so goodbye and good luck!


I always thought that I couldn’t;
I always thought that I didn’t,
Want to grow old gracefully.
Now all I dream of is some sort of redemption,
But that is just folly unfortunately.


The coffin lid closes,
I am buried with roses.


Goodbye…
This is the end.
My only friend, the end.
This is the end.

Writers block
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Writers Block


Silent, blank, empty mind.
Devoid of inspiration; a big waste of time.
For all I wish to do, is begin to write,
But all the words I cannot think of have eluded my mind.


So here I sit, in front of the computer screen,
Just waiting for a divine intervention,
Or maybe some divine inspiration;
But all I have on my mind is a woman named Divine Brown.


I’m supposed to be a writer, but I can’t even write;
I can’t think of anything, original tonight.
All I can think of is what other people have already said.
Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this, maybe I should just go to bed.


Come on brain think, of a single sentence.
Maybe that will lead me, to write the rest;
Or maybe I should, just take a rest,
But I have so many words I wish to get off my chest.


But where to begin?  I’ll see what I’ve written so far;
Well I’ve written the title, I guess that’s a start
And I know what the plot is, but where do I begin?
With who?  What?  When?  Or Where?  
Why is it so hard to think?


Ok, so He’s here and they’ve just done that,
So all I have to think about, is what happens next.
Ok, yeah that’s good; I’ll just type it before I forget.
No, wait that’s not good enough, maybe a drink will help.


Now I’m on my third bottle of wine and I still cannot write.
I guess I’ll go back to bed and try again tomorrow.
But wait, here it is!  My thoughts are all falling into line.
Yes!  That sounds good. They can do that;
****!  There goes my phone.


Now where was I, oh yeah, that’s right.
I had it just; come on what was I going to write?
If I sit here long enough, it’s bound to come back to me;
But I’m feeling so tired, I can no longer think.


I’ll try again in the morning;
I’m too tired to care anymore.
Maybe I shouldn’t be writing this book.
Maybe there’s something else that will be easier to do.
This whole writing thing is too hard;
I guess I’ll just do a job that requires no words.

Empty voice
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Empty voice


Inspire me to write a poem that you would enjoy;
Tell me what you want to read about and tell me a story.
Ask me a question, decline to use profanity;
Be you man, woman, girl or boy.
Anybody,
Anywhere;
A thought, a wish, an image or a memory.


What is your motif? I desire to know of your desire.
Tell me something you think so I can create a line,
As I listen to them, as they play the lyre.
Let me become a better writer; be the fuel to my fire.
Ignite my passion for being passionate;
I am so scared of fading away, to once more become a cursing liar.


I don’t want to become an empty voice without enlightenment;
I don’t want to disappear from the pages you read.
I don’t want to be forgotten,
As someone who used to bring you enjoyment;
But my soul is dying, my spirit fading and my subconscious is in need.


I need your advice, be it criticism or nice;
I need to know how I can improve upon the words that I write.
I need to entice you back into my life,
Because without you to guide me, I will become a shadow in the night,
Who writes without originality…
Try as I might, to write something you will like.


Save me from obscurity;
Help my chaotic mind find a place of serenity.
Rate me good or bad or offer me a thought;
I will take all your words to heart and view them with awe.


If I can write no more, then so be it, let that be that;
But if there is a way to improve upon those silly things that I do,
Then give me a piece of your mind so that I have a chance.
I strive to improve as I reach out for wisdom;
I am waiting on a light bulb moment and I am feeling so numb.


Give me advice, be it fire or ice;
Just give me something to think about…

So that I can once again, try to write.

Nothing more


I cannot be happy; love only hurts me.
I hate my TV, it does not please me; it is so full of repeats.
The sun shines everywhere, except inside my head.
I have nothing more to say…no more needs to be said.

Miguel The Poet
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Miguel The Poet


I saw a poet die tonight, I see this every day.
Another man on another film, why must it be this way?
Any man can be something, it's impossible to be nothing,
The homeless drunk sleeps in his cardboard box,
His life is now in ruins.


But he was something once and he's still something now,
But his worth to this world, floats away into the clouds;
That cannot be touched, only seen from a distance,
When you stand in a cloud, you no longer exist.


He's gone from this world but his memory lives on,
In the mind of the coroner, but not for too long.
Tomorrow he becomes, just another deceased no-one,
But this time last decade, he really was the man.


He had a family and I'm sure he had friends,
But his funeral was empty and nobody cared.
But the preacher read the service and they buried his body.
Dead men tell no tales, but once upon a time he was a somebody.


Miguel the poet was a Portorican someone;
The story of his fight will forever live on.
His poetry is written down, for future generations to study,
Miguel the homeless drunk, will forever be somebody.


Injecting drugs into his body, to open his mind,
Drinking liqour from the bottle, ignoring all time.
For time stands still, when your life's in a daze,
But the Portorican poet, no longer surfs the waves.
His crest has fallen, back into the sea,
But Miguel the drunken poet, has inspired me.


Maybe I'll inspire you, to write down what you feel,
To notice your surroundings, to open your eyes and see.
The world is unbelievable, inspiration is all around,
Miguel’s inspiration will be remembered, now I've written it down.

My love
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
My Love


Did I ever show you my favourite place?
And did you ever notice the smile on my face,
When you came back to me, after you’d been away?
It was complete relief that you’d come back again.


If I ever hurt you deep inside
And you hid the tears I made you cry,
Then my lady I apologise;
But I hope you’ll know that I never lied.


And you’ll never know what you mean to me
And you’ll never know why I let you go
And you’ll never know why you must be set free;
From me, my love and all my sorrow.


True to you, even when feeling blue;
My silence only ever hid the truth.
Those things I couldn’t say to you;
For I feared you’d leave me, then what would I do?


When you held my hand I felt warm inside.
I’m complete when I have you at my side.
You’re the only one in whom I can confide,
But without you girl, my heart would surely die.


And you’ll never know what you mean to me
And you’ll never know why I let you go
And you’ll never know why you must be set free;
From me, my love and all my sorrow.


But now you’ve gone away, I’m a hollow boy;
My comfort blanket has been destroyed.
They’ve taken away my favourite toy.
Now the tears continue to fall like rain;
I can no longer feel any joy.


So I sit here staring at the wall,
With a lack of empathy for this world;
For my love is gone.  I can’t go on anymore.
So I’ll say goodbye to my one and only love.
We could have been so much more…
