Full Moon
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
When the full moon rises
the beast within me comes out to play
My eyes grow wide
My nails long
My hair gets long to

I howl at the moon
I howl for joy
I howl for freedom

I run
a hunting savage I am
chasing my prey through the night
I run
feeling the wind rush by as I go

All through the night
Running
Chasing
Freedom at it's finest

In the morning
The sun rises
I return to myself once more
The nights adventure as ended
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
I slam therefore I am
I write
Speak
And breath poetry
It flows through my veins
It is at the very core of my existence

I slam therefore I am
Every word
Every  emotion
An out pouring of life
Blood
Sweat
Tears
Human life at it's purest

I slam therefore I am
We stand up here
Mic in our hand
Pouring out our
Heart
Mind
Soul
Trying to help people understand
Who we truly are
Where we truly stand

I slam therefore I am
I am Human
I have a voice
That voice must be heard

The Aborted Child
Tony Anderson May 2019
Mommy, Why did you **** me
Why did you let them take me from you
Why did you let them rip me from your womb before it was time
I know I was brought by
****
Wrongful love affair
Bad decision
However I could have made you so proud of me
I could have made you rejoice at my birth
However you killed me and dashed my hopes
Why
I did nothing wrong
I loved you mommy
Yet you killed me
I wanted to be your child
I wanted to make you laugh and be joyful
I had potential if only you gave me the chance to use it
Yet you killed me
Why
I do not understand
Please tell me did I do something wrong
Did I cause you pain
Why did you **** me mommy
Why
I love you
Yet you let them tear us apart
Why did you not love me as well
I know I came through bad circumstances
I was your child
Your very own
I just wrote this one day, please don't hate me

12 Roses
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
12 Roses in your hand
Given to you from this man
A a gester of my love and devotion
Which is much deeper than any ocean
Upon this day we say I do
May you know my love will always ring true

Be myself
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
People tell me to be myself.  But when I do.  I am told to
Grow up
Shut up
Straighten up
Sit down
Go away
And many other phrases I will not repeat

So which is it.  Be myself.  Or be like everyone else

I say be myself
I am not a mindless drone
I am not a programed robot

I will be myself
I will until the day I die
Anyone who doesn't like me the way I am
Can kiss my ***

Guide me back to you
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Lord I'm in a pit of dispare
But I know you are near
Though it is hard to  sence you mow

My life is a wreck
I need a mental check
And my emotions are and acid pool of slime

Bring back your light
Shine it through my blight
Guide me back to you

I am so lost
I am being tossed
Upon emotional waves of doom

I feel no one cares
Yet I know your love is the
Please help to see me Through

Bring back your light
Shine it through my blight
Guide me back to you

Sometimes
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Sometimes you have to walk the edge
Sometimes you must stand on the brink
Before you can start to rebuild your life.

Sometimes you have to lose everything
Sometimes you must start from the very beginning
Before you can recover
Before you can restart

Life is a rollercoaster with many ups and downs
You need to roll with the tide when it comes
Never give in
Never give up
No matter what life throws your way

Sunset
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
The sun sets over the ocean
Blue
Red
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Like the paintbrush stroke from a master painter

The sun sets over the ocean
You can almost hear the hiss
As the sun "touches" the water
Upon the horizon

The sun sets over the ocean
The stars come out
The moon rises
Night has fallen

You're never alone
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
When life seems hard spinning out of control
You feel you have no friends at all
Don't give up, no need to fall
Just remember this you're never alone

When you stand with your back to the wall
You fall to your knees and have to crawl
Never give in, never give up
No matter what this world shows
You're never alone

You're never alone
Someone's at your side
Though sometimes it's hard to see

You're never alone
You do have friends
Who will help in your time of need

Lost you feel like life's unreal
You're at your wits end it seems
Don't get bogged down
You're never alone

You're never alone
Someone's at your side
Though sometimes it's hard to see

You're never alone
You do have friends
Who will help in your time of need

Summer heat outside
Homemade ice cream

Bitch
Tony Anderson May 2019
My heart was ripped out of my chest
This young lady was just like the rest
Playing me for the fool I am
I should have known it was all a sham
I want a woman I can hold onto for life
Take her home and someday make her my wife
This woman was more like a witch
Casting her spell, boy what a *****

Come Into the Jungle
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
Come Into the jungle
Get in touch
With the savage beast within
Come Into the Jungle
That primal voice
Is calling again

You've held it in to long
Now you feel it coming strong
Freedom
That savage yearning
That has been there
Since the dawn of time

The heat
The sweat
The pure joy of being one with
Yourself
Nature
Creation
The whole universe

You hear it calling
It howls at the full moon
The flames of the fire
The wild dancing
To the rythum and beating
Of your heart
The savage calling
Flows through your blood stream

Come Into the jungle
Get in touch with the beast within
Come Into the jungle
That primal voice is calling again

Diamonds in your eyes
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You are beautiful  with a radiant smile
You life up the lives of those you hold dear
You have a caring heart your eyes shine night
Yes, I can see the diamonds in your eyes

You are the one that I can see
Who was ment for a wretch like me
You remove the to help me see the light
I can see the diamonds in your eyes

When you speak to me with loving care
I have no fear when you are near
You soul shines so bright
I can see the diamonds in your eyes

When words are soft
Tony Anderson May 2019
Water is soft
Yet
It can make grooves upon the Earth
Those grooves become mighty rivers

Water is soft
Yet
It can tear down mountains
Tear down trees
Tear down homes

Water is soft
Yet
It can wash away cars
Cause sinkholes
To engulf the land around it

When words are soft
They can
Break the hardest of hearts
Turn enemies into friends
Stop the wrath
Stop the rage

When words are soft
They can
Heal the broken heart
Calm the hurting
Tear down emotional walls

Religious Robot
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
A religious robot I am not
A mindless
Soulless
Emotionless
Robot I am not
I have a voice and I will speak
God gave me that voice

I may be young
But through God I am strong
When I think things are not fight
I will voice my opinion

You can tell me to sit down and shut up
You can say I'm to young
Therefore I have no idea what I'm talking about

Go ahead and mock me
See where it gets you

In the Fields
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
In the fields
Where the wild life play
That is where I spend my days



Fixing Fence
Hauling hay
Cutting wood



Feeding the animals upon the farm
Cows in the pasture
Goats in the barn



Alpaca roam eating grass
It is so nice to have days like this last

Come into the jungle
Tony Anderson May 2019
Come into the jungle
The fire burns
As the flames grow higher
So does the beating of your heart
As the flames grow higher
So does that wide eye stare

Come into the jungle
Become one with all that is around you
Hold nothing back
Let yourself be free
Let yourself trully be

Come into the jungle
Open yourself to your purest form
Open yourself to the jungle dweller
Lurking within you
Become who you trully are

Don't Know Me
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
You don't know me
Though you like to think that you do
You don't know the emotionl whirlwind
That is my life

You see the outward me
You see the smile
You think you know me
You know nothing

You know not
My past
You know not
The torment and pain
That past has presented
You know not
The cobwebbed corners of my mind
And what darkness lurks there

Don't tell me
That you know me
You know nothing
Your words make me sick

Own path
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
If the world knocks you down
Get back up off the ground
Don't let the world hold you
Tell it you're following a different plan

Strike your own path
Find your own way
Do not listen to what the world say

You are not a sheep
So don't follow like one
Blindly going wherever you're told

You are you and there is only one
Live life on your terms

Bullies
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
There they are lurking in the shadows
Haunting me
Awaiting with a sadistic grin
Following me
Awaiting for me endure my immoral actions
I tell you cannot control me
But what they do is touch me with their filthy hands
Capturing me
In the perfect frame of mind
Were say
"Don't run cause you cannot hide
Be afraid cause it is you who will die "
There I am beaten, scar by scar it adds
But it will never end. Bullies

I am Free
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
I am that I am
Nothing more
Nothing less

I am free to travel life’s pathways
To journey to the unknown
To enjoy each footstep
As I walk the path of life

I live for the adventure of it all
To take on what life brings
To meet the challenges of each day
To not back down

I am free to love
To share my emotional state with another
To share compassion
To be one with those around me

Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I'm not going to take it anymore
You have pushed me to my limit
I am ready to explode
With a mighty force
That is awesome to behold

I'm not going to take it anymore
You've called me names
Laughed in my face
You push me down
You've spit in my face

My fists are tight
My anger high
I will start throwing blows
As soon as you come into sight

Blood will fly
Blood will be spilt
As I beat you and beat you
And never quit

I will give you a taste
Of the rage that's been brewing
I will give you a taste
Then keep feeding

My fists will come fast
My fists will hit hard
Let's see you laugh
When you're cover in scars
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Jesus loves me
This I know
Though I'm just a little toad
Sitting here upon this log
Eating flies all day long

Jesus loves me
Though I'm a deer
I know he keeps me very near
And when I've gone astray
He will bring me back again.

First Date
Tony Anderson May 2019
It’s my first date
What should I wear
It’s my first date
Should I wash my hair

I am so nervous a complete wreck
I haven’t even showered yet
I asked her out
She said yes
This first date there’s so much stress
Just be myself
That’s the key
What if she doesn’t like me
I will try my very best
Should I wear a vest

It’s my first date
Times ran out
It’s my first date
There she is now

Every step forward
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Every step forward
Closer to my goal
Every step forward
Onward I go

I know it's a long journey
To reach that which I seak
Pushing me to the limits
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally
I know there will be scars
Both seen and unseen
But if I give up now
I will never reach my dream

Every step forward
Though the path
Grows rough at times
Though if I keep my focus
All will end up fine

You See
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You see my smile but you fail to see my pain
you see my sunshine, but ignore the rain
my tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul



you hear me laugh, but fail to see me cry
you see my dance, but fail to see me fall
you see the mountains I have climbed, but fail to see the trenches I've had to crawl through
my tears flow like a waterfall
you only see my life, but fail to see I'm dying inside
tears flow
heart smokes from the fire burning my soul



You see my accomplishments, but never how hard it took me to get thre
you see the goals I've achieved, but never my failures
you see the shine in my eyes, but never the dark clouds over head
my tears flow, I am drowning
you see me, but never truly see me
tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul

Silent Whispers
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Silently I whisper your name
As the tears fall upon my face
You don't know how much I hurt
My heart feels it's gonna burst



Crying tears wash my soul
For the love with depths untold
You were my grace, my one true love
An Angel sent from above



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores



When you left with him upon that day
You tear my heart away
Great sadness overtook my life
Cutting me like a knife



Now I live each day in Hell
The home in which we had both dwelled
Now alone I am
Just waiting for the end



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores

I treasure your love
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
I treasure your love
Every single day we are together
Is magic
You cast a spell upon my heart
Now I am yours forever

I treasure your love
Like a gem hidden deep within the Earth
It took me a while to find it
But now that I have
I shall never let it go

Your love is worth more than
Gold
Rubies
Diamonds
Your love is worth more than
All the money in the world

Your love means so much to me
I would be lost without it
Your love is
My stronghold
My shelter
It protects me from life's raging storms

Strolling among the stars
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Here we are
Strolling among the stars
Hand in hand as we move along

Two friends we started out
But more we became as our relationship grew
Now we stroll
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Among the stars we go

Eternally we go forever
Our love for one another
Hand in hand
We've come so far
Strolling among the stars

The twinkle in your eyes
Like diamonds as they shine
We stroll forevermore
Among the stars we shall go

The machine
Tony Anderson May 2019
The machine is taking over
Indavidualty is being lost
Everyone acts the same
Everyone looks the same
Everyone moves the same

The machine is taking over
Like a well oiled peice
The true self is no more
Only the machine is left
The true self lost
Lost in the crowd
Lost in the void
Lost to the world

Steping in time with everyone else
Marching to the same
Rythme and beat
Even eyes blinking
At the same time
All one mind
All one soul
All one thought

No more fun
No more free spirits
The machine will not allow it
No more free thinkers
No more joy
The machine is stern in its ways

The indavidual now part of a system
A system that demands control
A system that demands loyalty
Loyalty or death
That is how the machine works

The indavidual no longer free
Free to think
Free to be themselves
Free to learn and laugh
Freedom is lost
Just as the indavidual is lost
Now part of the machine
FOREVER

Poisoned cup
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You look so sweet like my favorite drink
But I see through to who you are
One sip from you and I'll see stars
Because no matter how sweet all you are
Is a poisoned cup
A poisoned cup

You look so good
You smell so fine
I want to drink you up with my eye
But a poisoned cup is all you are
A poisoned cup
A poisoned cup
