Love cloud
Aa Harvey Jun 2018
Love cloud


There you lie in a cloud of love forever;
Live your life and live it well.
I hope you find somebody else inside your heart one day;
But it will never be me, because I am hiding in my shell.


Live the day you loved the most;
Smoke away a life and embrace the fall, as you do the rise.
They can try their best to make you want to give up and go;
But you can only be stopped from falling in love, if you decide.


I have already decided to give up on finding love;
I have tried and I have tried and still it does not exist.
It has become my white whale, my loch ness monster;
My long wait for the sight of a white dove.
How can I go on searching, when life has taught me to give it a miss?


She says hold onto me tightly; I’ve been waiting a while,
For you to change your mind and to raise a smile.
To find love is our reason for existence.
Who would have thought we could ever have made it?
Allow me to accept that love is as good as they tell me it is.
She is a different kind of high; she is made of pure bliss.


It is because of you, that I grow angel wings;
So I can carry you up into our love cloud in the sky.
Inside my heart, a little love drum beats,
To the sound of your heart; we are so in sync,
That I think with you I will always be able to fly.

Love is staying the same.
Love is putting a smile on your face.
Love is great.

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…

Still burning


I want someone who sets my heart on fire.
An eternal flame that is not denied.
I need a new spark to burn an avalanche of liars.
I need a direct route through to wife.


I want a get well card for my love life.
A slice of that cake sure looks nice,
But inside it’s carrot cake.
Where is the chocolate?  
Vegetables!
Give me a break!


Catch my drift and lead me into temptation.
I need to find a new sensation.
A love I have never had before.
Been there, done that; so tired; so bored.
I want a never before seen, woman of my dreams,
Who is destined to become my Queen.


Not a lover who already has a lover,
Or a lover who finds a new lover,
When I am meant to be with her.
I want original; not the same old same.
Give me fireworks!  
Come on!  Entertain!


A notion of excellence.
I don’t want to be one of many men.
I want to be unique.
One reject; two rejections;
Already taken, makes three.


If all I can have is bad for me,
Give me bad at lying; give me empathy.
Give me something for me…
Please.

The future changes


Day light shines in to my eyes;
Why am I always surprised?
Another day, the time still moves into an unknown future,
That nobody can truly view, I’ll wager.


People leave echoes in history.
What will be the meaning of my story?
Will I be famous when I grow up?
Or will I be lost inside the history books?


The hopes that I had, I gave them all away;
To apathy, procrastination and thinking no way.
There was no more hope in the bottom of the box.
It was taken long ago, so when I arrived it was gone.


The future is changeable and I am unable,
To think of a better time that has not yet arrived.
I wish I was unrestrainable and nothing not capable,
But the truth is a trigger and I cannot survive.

Dying star

Dying Star


A falling star; a dying heart.
A step too far for a shot in the dark.
A burnt out car; the ruins of a castle.
You cannot defibrillate love inside a hospital without a chapel.


A smile without fidelity;
Two eyes of glass.
A poison without a remedy.
Never take them back.


Clouds of clarity;
Give to charity.
Peace love and empathy…
Embrace the misery.


Let the sunlight shine,
Or find a place to hide.
We are all ugly on the inside.
Every day becomes a night.


Try to find your Feng shui,
Or find your own path.
Who can say,
When it is your time to begin again or to turn back?


Plant a foot;
Plant a seed.
Plant a thought…

Just make sure you succeed.

Alone / not alone
Aa Harvey Apr 2018
Alone / not alone.


I saw red roses today.
I saw a tear drop too.
I cannot decide which moved me more…

I…love…you.


I heard the news of the victory;
I heard the world had been lost.
I heard they spoke of peace,
As they worked out what it was.


If a man has a battle plan,
Then you can be sure that he is lost;
The plan will never work.

If a man has a tank,
You will forever be counting the cost,
Against the decision’s worth.

If a man is a man, he would not need to fight,
But I am a man and I am never right where I belong.


I pick up a telephone.
The line is busy,
E.T. is phoning home.
Where he intends to go,
He would not tell us;
I just, don’t, know.


All I know is, I am alone,
When I am not alone.

Amen
Aa Harvey May 2018
Amen


Don’t say that word!  
That filthy curse!
It breaks my heart to hear it.


Such finality, to the thousands of lives touched.
No sacrifice should ever cost so much.


For they are no longer here to live happily beside us.
So I beg you please, do not speak that word of dust.
For this is not the end of love, for her, or for me!
So there shall be no Amen at the end of this soliloquy!


You are simply there to make us smile.
You are forever in my heart.
When this world becomes too dark,
You creep out of the blue inside of me
And once more I can raise a smile.


For I see you watching over us,
At your funeral of love.
I see your love in each of us.
Now the tears have been replaced, with memories of love.


So God, you take good care of her!
Or she will put the world to rights.
Just you make sure she’s there to meet me,
As I walk through those pearly gates...alright?

The long road to nowhere
Aa Harvey May 2018
The long road to nowhere.


My thoughts are like a box of frogs;
The top comes off and they are all gone.
I have no control over all of that which I have lost.
In separate directions my life I could lead,
But I am sat snoozing in the passenger seat,
Not caring about the final destination,
Because all that will cause is more depression.


A mind of wires, all connections are unknown.
I have an idea on speed dial, but I have no phone.
Save me from myself and my disease;
The apathy that steals my need for anything.
My lack of you is only hurting me,
But I am way past caring because it is a quarter past three
And all I can care about is the fact that I cannot sleep.


No mystery on the T.V. can keep my interest,
Because I have no money,
So I cannot eat at a restaurant.
Where is the morning sun?
All I can see are dark clouds up above,
As I look down on my dead garden.
I beg your pardon; you want a rose-tinted kingdom?
I do apologise, we are all out of those.


The clothes are old, the air is cold;
I am cold, beneath my throws.
Where did my life go?
Why must I alone, remain alone?


Three parent babies and I am still not needed.
I am not being selfish, by thinking only of me,
Because I lack any kind of understanding,
As to why you are not standing,
To give them an applause.


No dictionary diction for the Dictaphone tonight,
Because I am just typing the story of our lives.
The things on the news, the ‘truth’; their views.
A world like this is a magical place,
With your face.
But my Facebook?  It is a sorry state,
Of getting lost in their repeated affair’s.
The last person to care,
Was last seen saying “I do not care.”


So there you see, this humane being,
Is nothing without love; what else could I be?
A man without a woman; a fool without love.
I am all these things and still I see,
The emptiness of trust.


Stop the silence, speak the truth.
I am so tired of sounding so blue,
But I have no other mood to choose;
So I feel the blues, I sing a tune.
I sing to you from my endless dunes.
Sand pit memories washed away with all we see.
The all is lost moment…fading memories.

Aa Harvey Jun 2018
Back in the fight.


Once you have tasted Heaven, can Earth ever satisfy you?
Or shall you forever be searching, for your paradise?
Surely after the sweetest nectar, has been found and lost by you,
You have no God given right, to once again that nectar taste.


One Love, that’s what Bob Marley said,
One lifetime it will surely take, to mourn loves death.
But surely with just a single, sure-footed step,
Love will be able, to breathe again.


So I shall once again try, to give birth to this whole love notion,
I will open myself fully, to this heartache called devotion.
For I can no longer stand to weep, without a comforting shoulder,
Maybe I have found enough strength, to fight for a new lover.


To find a new mother, for my unborn child,
To find a new wife, to show off with pride.
To wash away, the tears I have cried,
To either rest in peace forever,
Or with a little luck, once again feel alive.

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!

Aa Harvey May 2018
So easy


The words must flow without delay.
A writer’s block must be kept at bay,
By constant thoughts and creative work.
When the page is blank, you must find the words.


If you lose your faith in the fact you have talent,
You cannot just give up on opportunity, you must grab it;
For now is your time to seize the day,
For tomorrow will always be too late.


If you procrastinate, you will do nothing.
If you try; what more could you possibly give?
You can only do your best and if you do find the right words,
Then in the end you will have succeeded.


With empty thoughts and a head without,
Just write something, anything and the good will out.
If you begin, then you will see,
That you can accomplish meaning.

Words Of Love.


There you stood, in front of me,
I sat and stared, with a distant grin.
My thoughts had gone up, to a better place,
You shine such an, amazing grace.


You must have thought, I’d lost my mind,
I must have looked, a little frightening.
You must have thought, I like that guy,
When our friends introduced you to me.


But now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


And if I ever, let you down,
I hope you’ll let me, make it up to you.
And if I ever, bring you down,
Just know I never, meant to hurt you.


For you my love, are everything,
My one and only, true love lady.
You my love are my favorite dream,
The one who can truly, be satisfied with me.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


So hold me tight, don’t let me go,
I want to have your love forever.
So hold me tight and truly know,
With you my life could only be better.


I offer up my heart to you,
So please step down from your pedestal
And take all the love I have to give,
For you my love are truly incredible.


For now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


Come and lay down, here with me,
Let me massage away, all your troubles.
For with you I can, become free,
I can truly look forward, to tomorrow.


For if I have you by my side,
Nothing can stop, this true believer
And if I have you in my life,
I know I can be truly complete, yeah.


For now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Oh my gosh!  I do truly love you
And now I share my thoughts with you,
My love I feel the same way you do.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.

The other side


A lady crossed the bridge to the other side;
She didn’t know exactly what she would find.
But this was her time, so on she went;
She has never been seen since and she will not be seen again.


Her make up ran as she walked fearful steps;
The wind beneath the willows blew across her dress.
She thought she would fly or be forgiven if she confessed;
But who can say what we will become, when there is nothing left.


The moon above, her only guide, as she walks through the shadows.
It’s cold up here above the world and life just seems so hollow.
Why is nobody with her when they all fell as one?
Her hand upon the coarse rope bridge,
The leads her away from all she has known.


Darkness is all around and the stars are endless;
All she ever did was try her best.
But now she is the ghost who passes through the night;
The lady on the bridge can at last see the other side.

A beautiful lie


Tell me a beautiful lie…I’ll believe it because I have to.
Find me a corner in which I can cry, for this soul cannot be soothed.
Gift me a word of truth that I will never believe.
Give me your honesty so I can once more see.


A lie is just a truth, wrapped in an enigma inside a box,
And I can’t find the key, I need to unlock.
The words are misremembered or never understood.
Show me your truth and I’ll despise your good.


Hand me my life in a basket, I’ll devour your soul.
Wrap me in a casket, when I get too old.
Punch me with a line, so good that it hurts.
Flesh me out of paper parts, and mould me last and first.


Give me life or death, for that’s all I have left.
Leave me in a mess, alone inside my head.
Let me beg and beg, but never forget.
The last words are unsaid, until they are the dread.


Too weak to fight for a lost cause forever more.
Painstaking curiosity, peeking through doors;
Looking for a light on, but all the other side is dark.
Lift me with your haunting tune my beautiful lark.

My Elegy


What are we, but dust in the wind,
A single grain of sand, upon a beach.
The merest speck of light,
In the great sun’s dazzling rays.
A mere moment, in eternity,
A mere second, in a life time.


For today we are here,
Then tomorrow we are gone.
So remember to live life to the fullest
And capture and taste every sweet moment.
For they are few and far between,
But we remember them, as remarkable things.
But unfortunately for us,
They don't happen very often.

The life that I live


Time is not infinite; life is only finite.
Please do never waste my time, for I only have this one life.
The day are not all numbered, we have only just begun to love.
This love you people speak of…will it ever be enough?


I can repeat the mistakes and I can make a change,
But I chose to do neither; I must find my way,
To become a better human being.
I have never been like you with your liar’s true feelings.


In the pit of my stomach I know there is really nothing wrong,
But still I go on passionately apathetic to all the faults you own.
I am not saying I deserve this or regret hearing what you want;
I am simply stating that I hate you for leaving me all alone.


My water is so full of salt, drinking leaves me crazy.
This glass is no longer drinkable, for it tastes of forgotten ladies.
I am forever dying from your thirst,
Without the realization that love is my curse.


Forever searching inside illusions;
My ghostly hands look real to me.
I am lost in a place of complete confusion;
I am lost in your reality.
Negative is my positive;
I carry lightning with my thunder.
Behind sunglasses I hide behind eye-lids,
This cursed spell I am under.

Be gone!  Be gone!  Foul evil beast;
This is not my place of reckoning.
The guardians of light stand at my side
And death is not yet beckoning.


In foulest stench, I see you drenched,
In blood; I see you dripping.
But I am not for the taking yet;
I am still for the living.


Come back in time, of a dying future.
The time is not now; we are alive in this state.
In time you can take me to meet your master;
But now is my time to live, so leave this place!


Do not hover nearby hoping for easy pickings;
This body still stands and is not for the giving.
You are misguided, mistimed and mislead;
Off with your head, if you expect to take me away from this blessing.


The darkness does not haunt me, as you would wish;
So be gone foul beast!  Back to your bottomless pit.
My soul is still mine and you are out of your mind,
If you think I will stop suddenly;
Sooner than my time.


You are not my eclipse.

Fi Fine, Fo Fun


Let me show you another way.
Let me breathe empathy towards your pain…


Hi Fi.  
Remember me?
I’m the guy I think you need.


I want you to know, you are on my mind
And I hope you like me too.
Maybe we could go out together sometime?
Or just chill at mine; it is all up to you.


I want to look deep into your eyes,
Because there’s something there,
I don’t want to miss.
Maybe it’s the promise of a forthcoming kiss?
Or maybe that is just what I wish.


Your body wants to hide,
But your words are so open.
I have nothing to hide,
My soul is written down for you in poems.


So here I stand; yours if you want me.
Come chill with me some time
And criticize my bad poetry.


I should have told you.
How beautiful you are to me.
I should have hugged you,
To be more compassionate somehow.
I should have done more,
When you were so honest and free.
I should never have met you…Life would be much easier;
But you are in my head now.


So goodbye for now,
What I meant to say,
Was I’d really like to see you somehow;
If there is a way.


I want you to be with me sometime,
If you have the time;
To fit me into your hectic life.


I should have told you,
You’re pretty…hot!
I should have told you,
I’m not good enough.


I offer Peace, Love and Empathy
And I hope you accept it too,
For you are more than welcome.


But my heart is yours to see;
Maybe yours to keep…
Or maybe just yours to use,
If you just want the same old story.


Would you like us to share our bodies, minds and souls sometime?
If you show me yours…
I’ll show you mine.


I think I would like it very much indeed,
If you were to spend some time with me.
I could show you I am an Angel
And confess all my sins…
I could put my hands around your heart and love you…
If you would only let me in…


But if you just want fun
And you don’t want my love…
Then I accept, let’s have fun….


Let’s chill and
Be good buds.

A thought cannot be tamed.
Many have tried and failed before.
A thought will never be chained.
Our minds are built without walls.


A word will not be changed,
For it is written down in ink.
A poem will say exactly what needs to be said;
Its effect will depend on what you think.


A painting once seen will never be erased,
No matter what anybody may say.
There is no way to contain art.
The story will find a way.

The sunshine days


I need to remind you of happiness, because I am so sad.
I will talk about feeling sunshine and even I will try to laugh.
I will talk about love because it puts a smile on my face;
Can you picture the moment you met,
Which lead up to a first embrace?


The first time you kissed, the moment you fell in love;
These are your memories of times that were once good.
The first time you heard this song,
When we were so young and carefree.
Oh how I long for the way things used to be.


The first time they said I love you;
The first time you said it to them.
Already knowing how they felt about you,
So free to speak without regret.


The moment you realized you had a love that you knew would last.
I hope you always find what you need to make you laugh.
The old familiar comedian, your friend’s jokes or your kids.
Whatever makes you smile is surely worth it.


You know what would make you happy
And one day that thing you will see
And if you cannot get what you need right now,
Then continue to believe.
The love you need will find you.
One day you will have more cash,
So you can buy the things you want to have
And you will no longer feel so sad.


You will find the job you always wanted
And marry the one that you love.
You will have the family you always dreamed about
And you will be able to travel the world.
You will buy that house and own that car,
If material things are what you want.
I wish for this to all happen for you
And if it can never happen,
Then please know you are loved
And if I could I would wave a magic wand.


I want you to be happy;
If I could I would take away all your pain.
I want to pretend things will be good in the end;
These are the sunshine days…
There will always be plenty of time for rain.

Dreams.


Rapid Eye Movement, after the darkness;
At last you have finally got to sleep.
Your own private show, with no popcorn eating fool sat beside us.
It’s time for a film…they call it a dream.


A bright white light shines over in the distance;
Maybe this will be a premonition,
Or maybe a long distant memory, that you have forgotten;
Or maybe a nightmare, that you have tried in vain to keep hidden.


So wish me away, to a far-away place;
A land of hopeful stories, with a sunshine landscape.
A place where magical animals roam free
And you are free to be at peace.
A place full of wishes; a place full of dreams.


I dream of a world, full of beautiful people,
Who are righteous and interesting and there is no evil.
I have no need, for a nightmare tonight;
I need sunshine and to dream, of a happy life.

It's all about you
Aa Harvey Jun 2018
It’s all about you.


You are beautiful;
You are wonderful.
You are definitely one of a kind.
Because you truly are, beautiful
And you truly are, so wonderful
And with your love in your life, you feel so alive.


You’re the best of the best
And you’re all there is.
You are the narcissist.


And as the narcissist stares deeply into the pond,
Never realizing, he is already gone,
He has been lost inside his own reflection.
Casting no image, the unknown word humility, is without action.


Mirror man walking towards himself with pride.
He is going to fall through to the other side.
So self-aware, yet so see through.
His heart is invisible,
As is his wife…
Staring into the blue.

Anticipation


Lost without you, **** this love thing is hard.
I miss you, I need you; I want you to be here.
I’m so used to having you around to give a warm feeling to my heart.
Without you I am bored and lonely; why can’t you be near?


Every second you are gone feels like a lifetime today;
Every time I think of you I forget all other things.
You are always on my mind and I have so much I need to say.
When you return I will be so happy,
Because I will have what I have sought.


Still checking my phone for a text or a missed call.
The time ticks by so slowly; when will you arrive?
You have already told me your work schedule,
But I am impatient; I can’t wait to see you, my future bride.


We have the rest of our lives to feel this happiness,
But right now I am without you and patience is not a virtue I possess.
Soon you will be home, back in my arms at last;
So I am writing to you to tell you, you are my beautiful temptress.


Our love is continuous until the end of time;
It was written in the script that we should find one another.
I am under your spell, you are beauty personified;
Forever I wish to be your only lover.


And then suddenly, I hear you arrive;
You are back and we are together once more.
Oh joyous celebrations as you fill up my heart and my eyes.
I can see you, I can say I love you; I can feel your love…
You are the woman that I adore.

Lost in love
Aa Harvey May 2018
Lost in love.


I was king of the world and used to fly with the birds,
Because I had her love and I knew its worth.
It was my last taste of Heaven itself,
Because in her arms I found myself;
Lost for words and lost in her words,
I want to find myself lost in her.


She is beautiful and unique
And she was everything to me.
I love her so much;
Just the slightest touch,
Of her fingers on my body, sends shivers down my spine.
I feel so lucky to have said she is mine.


Something tells me I’m ok;
With her I had the nicest of days
And nights to remember forever together as one.
We float across oceans into whole new worlds,
As two lost in love and happy as one.


Now I have become the one;
Lost in love is now gone.
I am lost without her love;
Two were lost in love, but now one is truly gone.

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.

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.

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.

Bad turned good


What’s going on with my life at the moment?
Suddenly running along like a locomotive;
About to explode in a poverty struck, cancer ridden, suicide;
Or somehow find a publisher and maybe survive.


For time is no longer on my side;
So please help me!  I’m all out of time.
Please, I need to sell my poetry;
Or die alone, with broken bones, in the street.


Another prayer for the redemption of the guilty.
Please I beg, buy my goods from me;
Help me leave this poverty,
So I too can be set free.


Allow me to write, poetry to my Wife
And I shall forever feel free.
Let me tell her how much I love her in a letter;
So she can keep my words of love eternally.


Even when she hates me and kills my insides;
I shall forever have wished, for her to have become my Wife.
Just one taste of the bride in white,
Someone to actually love me that much;
It’s a joke I told myself to survive.


Some people just die alone and lonely;
Those people are just like me.
So do as you wish, in my last dying moments;
But my words are now spoken, for all to see.


If you like my words then come and rescue me;
From contempt, from the rent, from the demons I breed.
They slaughter me and bring me bad luck;
But this poetry they help me to write…
So I guess even bad does a little good.

Don’t you think it’s time for you to be showing,

I have had enough of being the fool who you degrade.


Why do you stay with me and then do that?
Why do you feel the need to treat me so bad?
Just go, leave me alone, stop hurting me, get gone!
I’ve taken enough of your lies to write a thousand bitter love songs.


You don’t respect me enough to hate me,
So why do you have to treat me so shady?
Why do you have to do the things you do?

Nothing to stop us now;
Nothing to stop us hurting now.
Nothing to keep us down;
So free to feel and fool around.


I love you, yeah I do!
I love you because you love me too.
I love you, yeah I do!
I love you because you love me too.


I want to be somebody;
I want you to feel me.
I want to sing so freely;
I want to sing, sing, sing.


Sing to you, my sweet honey blue;
Sing to you my favourite tune.
Sing to you because I love you;
I love to sing, because I love you.


I love you, yeah I do;
I love you because you love me too.
I love you, yeah I do;
I love you because you love me too.


So please just sing and sing;
Sing with me because I love you.
Sing with me, sing, sing, sing;
Sing with me my love, I love you.

I love you in all ways;

Years and years


Disposable memories lost with broken phones;
Praying for a little more light when I am all alone.
Wishing for a peaceful day, but that is not the way today will go.
I am lost upon a star of a dreamer mind of long ago.


Those days we had were only fleeting;
Gone too fast to remember the meeting,
Which changed our lives forever more.
Those painful days that left us broken down here on the floor.


Looking up and waiting, praying,
Saying anything to make things change;
But today is not for changing, so things remain the same.
I am but a child inside, a half-lived life, a moment in time,
Lost to the ether, floating high above;
Looking down upon myself for never being good enough,
To live the life I had in my hands.
I had the laughs but took no chance.


And now the hour has passed
And all I am left with is no way to turn back
And take the gift you gave to me;
Your endless love, your empathy,
Your courage in the face of fear,
Those years and years and years and years.

A lifelong search for love


I have spent a lifetime searching for love;
The only thing I found was a love that was false.
I need another chance to show I am good enough;
I am tired of false love disguised as lust.


I will keep searching for her,
Because she is my destination.
The only one who can save me;
The only one who can take me to Heaven.


I love, love; I need her touch,
But if her love is temporary it will never be enough.
I have done all I could to be the one to give her love;
But she didn’t want it, she didn’t earn it, so she is now gone.


Onto the next search for the next lover in line.
Who knows?  Maybe this time I will find Ms. Right.
If I am lucky in love I could find what I am looking for;
But unfortunately I know this search is long and hard
And it will not happen overnight.

Wasting words


I want to be electronic;
I can only be more robotic.
Please try to fix my empathy;
I have lost it.  I am not hypnotic.
I cannot make you feel this,
Without giving away my secrets.


We need to join and become one mind,
So you can truly feel the words that I write.
I want to know what you feel inside,
So I can absorb your words, I will not lie; tell me how to write.


I cannot change without your thoughts screaming at me.
I need to know what you think; show me everything.
Do not hold back, I need true feelings;
Then maybe I can improve my understanding.


I create words for fun; I’m building string theories to pull you in
And when I think I am done, I will force myself to continue writing.
I take a piece of your mind and it extends my thoughts.
I give away my art; you help me rearrange it all.
As I grow, my books, they continue expanding
And as my words evolve, I am becoming more demanding.
If it’s not good enough, then it is nothing.
Nothing is ever good enough, but I am still going.


When I have made a change,
I hope that it works,
Because I need to age with age;
No more wasting words.

You must want for nothing,
To get all you wished for.
You must have lost everything,
To appreciate it all.


For once it has gone,
You see why it was so good.
You begin to see the bad points,
Weren’t as bad as they seemed.


But all that glitters, really isn’t gold,
And many lies have been told,
To ease your suffering and let you live again;
But no lies can erase the memories of the pain.


So wish for amnesia, or for someone to be true.
Wish for a better life, for me and for you.
Wish for a change and it may come.
I simply wish you to be faithful
And I wish I could fall in love.

We live in interesting times when it comes to rhymes.
I can say what I want but never mind.
I went a little insane when I lost my love life,
But like I said…Interesting times.


You can never be bored when dancing with the Devil.
Being so close to natural born evil.
Free the people for the people.
Always on the level when talking of my steeple.


Never had an ego that you could quash.
Don’t love myself, or you, or God.
Raised on love, brainwashed into believing.
Now all I have is endless dreaming.


Stuck at work building a future.
Seems so pointless when I have not even met her,
But loves prevails!  It’s the perfect fail.
Setting sail on the journey of a loser.


Gave up age eleven; stopped believing in Heaven.
Depression set in and woe is me again.
Everywhere I looked I saw the signs,
The eternal sighs, the crying eyes,
The lies, the lies, they shaped my life.


Thought about suicide, didn’t like it.
An idea too big for a scared little kid.
Stood up tall, took the verbal kicks.
Spent too long saying “I’m with stupid.”


I guess intelligence is always relative,
When it comes to someone becoming relevant.
Never liked a dummy C-class student.
D is for life, still becoming a numan.


All I have now is me, myself and I.
Scatter-gun tongue gives me a sharp side,
And I will bite back if you are worthy.
Most are worthless…hope you heard me.

Raising Hell upon a table.
Raising flour, picked a flower that I liked.
Lost it in an hour; dead flowers covered in spikes.
Raisins are not nice but I still eat them,
Mixed with chocolate; food and I are friends again.


Junk food belly is on the way so I eat green.
Already grey, ex does not recognize me.
Nothing new to say, but hey!

Forever sinking into a solitary whirlpool;
Still acting King whilst in reality a fool.

As my mind fills with your pain;
I wish it all away.
I wish I could be the one,
To heal you today.


But something tells me, you will never be able to heal;
Only continue to feel, what you just couldn’t take.
I know the pain is real.


I see you suffer down in the dirt;
But I could never cure the hurt,
You feel when you are around me.
Because I could be good and you’re not ready to hear,
Or see the goodness inside of me.


You think we live in a cold dark world;
Because that is all you have ever known.
But I am here to show you that,
At last you have a place you can feel at home.


I see the scars in your attempted smile
And you tell me that is has been a while,
Since you have been loved and not just used.
But I am here to prove to you,
That I could be the one you need to change;
To become the person I see inside you.
If you would let yourself out of your self-imposed cage.


Locked away from love, you need to be released;
So let me be the one with the key, to set you free.

I want to write you something that means something,
But all I say is meaningless;
Less to me and less to you.
I struggle to get myself out of your bed, because of my head.
I am trapped inside a box of thoughts.
Which question to ask of you?
No answer to ‘We need to talk.’


Leave me lying here in my own pity;
The dreams I keep inside my head.
You orangutan through one night stands;
A love like this is without love.
Break a promise to be a man
And you will see a divorced wedding dress,
So drenched in mud.


This is how it all begins,
So this is how it will all stay.
You can never remove those stains, those sins;
So tear apart every syllable I just have to say.


Your lies are on fire!  I vow to change;
You and I have never really felt the same.
I say what I need to get you off my chest;
You hold me down with promises.
Tell me when I have passed your test,
So I can admit the truth; that it is you who is worth less.


Less than friendly and now a part of the family.
A part of the furniture; surely soon to be less than all I have.
Prepare to take a grand piano, to the head
And I will tell you where you need to stand.


Stand apart, we are never near,
To understanding the words we never speak
And the thoughts we never hear.


I cover up the bruises on my heart,
To hide the shame of loving love.
I leave behind all the memories of what we are…
By simply giving up.

In this graveyard I sit and inhale the smoke.
As I sit, I read names, dates and quotes.
He was this and she was that.
They didn’t escape death…that is all I know.


Roses among the moss, the raindrops begin to fall down;
I stare into the dying sunlight and see images through clouds.
Then I see another mourner, praying to God;
We are both dressed in black, but she is no Goth.
She is just lost and has lost someone she loved;
I will not disturb her in her time of grief,
But I will glance at the grave stone when she is gone
And I am heading home, past all the head stones.
What is this sadness that surrounds us all in this place?
They have all been taken away.


Etchings and numbers like nineteen forty seven;
Names no longer remembered now they have all risen to Heaven.
Families reunited, never truly divided;
Always nearby if needed, inside a guiding light.
I kissed a girl and I kind of liked it;
But now her kisses are bitter to the thought,
Now she has been taken from my life.

Project Progress


Born under a black star, progress has been made,
But birthdays come and go and I still cannot act my age.
Destiny has been calling; it is time to pick up the phone.
Plans are in place and construction has begun, to build our new home.


There are many pieces of my jigsaw heart that need to fall into place,
But when she does arrive and I can see my future being with her,
Things will change.
Apathy will be shot through the heart.
I will have a change of heart.
Love has only ever broken my heart,
But she is coming, she is here, she is leading me onto the next part.


Growing up and growing old, but remaining young at heart.
Things are forever in creation; I think it’s time to build a nation.
A Kingdom of mine with a Queen for my Wife;
Maybe even raise a child and show them that this life,
Is not as bad as I say it is.
Tell them one day they will raise their own kids.
Tell them one day they will love like I do.
Teach them Carpe Diem, before it is through.


I will not shield them from the realities of this world,
But I will protect them from all who want to harm my boy or girl!
I will be their body armour to any and all danger.
You had better walk away, if you even think of causing harm to her!
Or breaking his heart!  Because I will get you to being gone!
This is my family!  My blood!  My passion!  Our home!
And my Wife will be linked to me through sickness and poor,
Through a psychic connection and onto the riches of everlasting love,
Because when I love you; you know it’s for life,
And if you ever doubt my feelings for you,
Look directly into my eyes
And you will see,
This is the real me.
I am love.
I am creating a palace,
Where the two of us can live.


I am writing my heart down in blood, sweat and tears on every page!
I am so passionate about love; so passionate it aches!
But I am more focused now, than I have ever been.
I now know I can only accept the best for me,
So she can get the best of me,
Because the best of me, on a good day, is sweet
(as)


I will change my image and change my ideals.
I will change my mind and the way that I feel,
But my complete devotion to my soulmate will last throughout the ages.
I have waited for her for this long;
What’s a couple more pages?
I will continue to write; I will continue to wait.
I will buy this, I will look for that
And I will be ready…

When loves does find her way.

If I had another life...

If I had another life…


Food is but a cold reminder,
Life has been unfair to me.
Wish upon a starry star, to find a plate of empathy.
Understand I mean so much,
My voice it sounds so hollow!
Waking up in agony,
I only live in sorrow.


Picture books are full of drawings,
Abstract ruination.
Colour me in with vitamins and leave me to my ruin.
All I want is everything
And nothing at the same time.
All I want I cannot have,
Or take or even find.


Days like this serve to remind me,
I am but an egg shell.
Swiftly broken pieces swept away,
Nobody to tell.


If only I could start again,
I'd rip this up
And send another swimmer.
This life is broken!
I am not a happy, be-lucky, winner.
Things are not quite as they seem,
When I look in your mirror.
All I see is a reflection of me,
But I am looking thinner.


I don't know which way I chose to go,
Is it up or down?  
I just don't know!
I'm heading for the stars, I couldn't be happier,
I never even tried.
I want to live like I have already died.
Swim with the fishes,
All that I truly know is,
They never seem to cry,


Days are all numbered.
One to ten, and then repeat the process.
I cannot,
I will not,
Vote for a system that is causing distress.
Leave things just as they are
And starve or start a revolution.
All I state is there will be no peace,
Until we build a Freedom.


Creatures only crawl into my mind.
All I do is pass the time,
Selling broken watches,
To all my broken well-wishers, my peeps.
They cannot appreciate,
There is no early,
There is no late,
There is only a right time
And a place to send me,
But I will never tell them;
They couldn't agree.
One day I will find a way to live,
Or find a way to be free…

But today is not that day…

That is all I CAN say...

Bring Out Your Dead


One by one the dead shall rise
And the burning fires within their eyes,
Shall show their hatred for humanity.
Their deaths have taken away their sanity.


They will hunt us down and take our lives,
Down to their living Hell of screams and fire.
Torture, pain and no way out.
Welcome to Hell.  You shall fulfil Satan’s desires.


One by one the people burn,
Or have their bodies buried underground.
But from the ashes of the dead,
The phoenix shall rise once again.


But fear the phoenix, for what it brings with it,
The zombies and ghosts and all sorts of ghoulies.
The land of the dead, was once full of life,
Now the life has been drained away,
By the Hell that is fire.

Take a chance
Aa Harvey Aug 2018
Take a chance.


Send me a sign, to show me how you feel
And I'll return my message to you, in a little while.
I'm taking the first step, but it takes two to tango,
So what do you think, shall we dance with each other?
Will you become my lover and my lay with me tonight?
Or shall I leave you to these people and not be by your side?


You see, I'm the one who made you smile
And you told me that it's been a while,
Since you remember being happy and thinking like this;
But I too harbour the bad memories that come with this thing.


But if I can take the risk, then I'm sure you can too;
If you can't, I understand, I've been there too darling.
Those crazy misspent days and those long winter nights,
Left us happy and content.
We were always happy when we weren't crying.


But times stands still for no man and it's time for me to leave.
I've got to leave you here alone now,
So you can breathe a sigh of relief.
You may want things to be different,
But I'm a ghost ship passing by;
The guy you thought you made a connection with,
In the blink of an eye and an awkward smile.


In that moment I saw you truly,
As you wished no-one could see you right now.
With your guard down and you hair messed up;
You shone so bright like a nuclear cloud.
An explosion in my heart and then you were gone;
Tomorrow you may not remember me,
But you shall not be forgotten.


A single smile, with your red hair in the wind,
Reminded me of what could be, if I changed a few things
And forgot those bad memories that have now engulfed me.
They keep me here trapped, letting nobody in.


I'm willing to risk it all and lay here at your disposal,
To dispose of at your dissatisfaction,
But to keep while I'm still useful.
Until the day comes when you disappear into the night,
Then like a candle blowing in the wind,
Your love will walk out of my life.


But the pains we have endured, shall become our cure.
Make us stronger this time; we can do it for sure.
Just one girl and one boy, how hard can it be?
It's as easy to do as you’re A,B,Cs.
