I bought a knife, lighter of Vienna
A suitcase of plaid
And left life at times light
Greeted day in car and was
Greeted family with absence

So I left
Homer and his interpretations
Only his words and my mind by side
A passenger of wool and barley
So through window the sun shall rise
Lied, how I left life in stride of day.
Andrew Aug 2017
When quiet she is summer
a swift breeze strolling through words of mouth
to love of mind

When angry winter has risen
From ashes of love torn might
So might I love her until torn
Is day as sleet rips at its seems

For her beauty is well worth all
Andrew Mar 2018
The feet I walk upon,
Are yours
For where you say
.
I will go
Andrew Jul 2020
And told so was the day, told of the coming dark that greets the end each eve.
Though no eve existed before the change of light to dark,
Nor any sun existed before the dark.
Nor any man before any women.

And so sit solemn, solidarity departs you and
bleeds itself dry in the room down the hall.
And you do not here it’s cry.
Andrew Sep 2018
I will dream of walking to you,
But surely, I would die,
Before my thought caressed your face.
Before they hit the ground,
those tears you cry.

If I were to sprute arms like sprungs
On a fork, I would reach you.
I would teach you about the light
On which I live each day.
The wind would lessen its push like
a waterfall of earth.
And I would remain standing.
I wish she was more than a memory
Andrew Aug 2017
And the river flowed blood
As did the north sky once day had closed
Curtains of velvet white clothing the sun in dark
Yet as done, more arrived in umbra
Shrouding eye of man in still death.
Andrew Aug 2017
And so man had been where few were
And I, a tiny stump of nature once heard
Shall say little as the boy and girl of today say
Hey not a thought means more in a horse hay
And so it were fools scarce and beams a plenty
Not a tidal of hope for those who've a plenty.
And so it were, I was born a man in few or many
Andrew Aug 2022
There’s a tree down the road,
Often caught in the west
Blown east by the west winds.
Blown east by the west winds.
Blown free by the stressed winds

Surely not of anthropogenic
origin.

There was a child down the road.
Blown south by callous winds.
One must mourn one gone.
One must.
Mourn one gone.

Surely of anthropogenic
origin.

There was a wild north wind
Once upon a time.
It seems to have relinquished
It’s domain.
A pastured peace,

Surely of anthropogenic
origin.
Andrew Mar 2018
And for this split second
I'm alright
But again
I'm Consumed
Below anxieties surf
Andrew Dec 2017
My jacket sat warm below me.
And I sat warm in my home.
The vein below her eye,
Flowed blood as if to cry,
Why?
At least she's alive.
My last love, she has died;
Not of natural cause,
But a broken heart.

So I grabbed my jacket,
For I am a dreamer.
And
I
Do
Not wish to dream of loves
Rapture.
Instead I shall witness,
horizons end,
And know it shall not follow.
Andrew Nov 2017
She b l e w me away,
Like the winter winds.
F l e w me to her eyes,
Where the sirens sing.

And I could not help,
But love her song.
The sweet serenade,
Of times since gone.
And so the times have vanished
Without me,
And I,
Left behind, to yearn the past.
Andrew Dec 2017
The continuous lively hood
Of the street corner.
Cars twisting about the brick,
Honking songs of anger.
Littered shakes calling friendship,
Oh
How I envy!
A maze made of pale blue
Hanging over heads
Of the shakes.
But I do
Not,
Wish to escape this abyss.
I have been so dreaming of it.
Dreaming stars upon  
Glass,
And the puddle lining stone.
Intricate lay her solemn head
At my feet.
For
I,
Stale among the standing,
Release a smile within these
Walls.
Andrew Sep 2017
At edge
Salvation yearned to lay
Yet as I
Not for gentil day
May legs embrace the stone bay
And blind be you
Turn, see blindingly
Andrew Apr 2019
And the nights have truth among the lies,
But the truths are as scary as the vicious concoction
Of poetic misery and tragedy
For it is not lovely to be tragic
In an age of tragedy.
The light you once bore has burnt my skin,
And it hurts, my skin, it burns red
And it hurts my nights to know your light
Has burnt the others.
Andrew Aug 2017
The scent of deaths day
Shall stall man in step
A scent of such odour
Little society of the crowned
Shall lose order

The sound of heavens pearl
Will tame gaunt thiefs, hark
Speek in hush, hear the oil painted
And a voice of innocence attempt
Escape of a soul long tainted

The sight of distressed dirt
Ultimately silenced man in word
Inevitable,indescribable once there
For we are not to give, share
But to be gifted a time past earth
Andrew Jul 2020
Draw me crazy,
Shadows of my arms and legs sprawled along the brick.
Drive me home,
Where stone bears no shade nor hope
plays no trick.
Andrew Oct 2018
If greed were to be my sole friend,
A friend to my soul,
Then I would be cursed to mend
The final prayer I sold.

I feel my soul slips when I stand,
It falls down and I am all that’s left.
And the sun laughs hand in hand
With what could have been my very best.
I feel it is far away yet could be so bright, but when i walk i stray far
Andrew Dec 2017
So the ground sprouted feet,
and walked from beneath me,
So I fell upon my back,                       F
into the abyss of black,                          A
And lost that memory,                                 L
The sprouts grew below                                  L
far beneath low                                         E
And still i sunk again.
Concepts of a concept
have left me.

And this is where i enjoy,        
that which is joy.

And this is where i lay,
the base of grey.                                       N
Andrew Jul 2020
Fear swells from oblivion
and to oblivion it falls.
Stepped sturdy from the depths
I So very often call.
Once and then twice and once more
Again.
The toes that once touched will never more
Mend.
Andrew Jul 2017
Fret no more my loved one
I see sky and soil in a miles embrace
Let there be no race
For our time is out of reach
And death we must all face
Yet no mere mortal has won
So don't you fret my loved one

Timid be wind floating above
Gentle as light litters eye
Though no longer
Once so, so must deny
And do not yearn past;
but what future has done
So fret no more my loved one
Andrew Aug 2018
Glow green and die bright
Fall through into light.
But don’t cry for it
Has come
It has come
It cries in black of night.
Andrew Aug 2018
Guess the peace of
Dreams;
In death shall he join them.
Among the created sun
And the phony rays.
Among your love my only
One.
Andrew Nov 2018
Grip my cry and squeeze tight
Let not the fear escape, nor the fright
And I know I will be blind for a bit,
But see forevermore.
And in this sadness is something close.
I think she’s gone, she’s gone isn’t she.
I wish she would have stayed,
I miss her, god I miss her, god she was it,
In my many fears she never quits.
Andrew Nov 2018
Maybe I will die today,
Maybe I am dead.
The song of day rattles in my head
As though it is the last
Of many faint tunes
Distant in blankets of snow
And tears ran cold.
And I think I am dead,
Lead me back for I am scared,
I know not where I step,
I know not of myself in this world
It all seems sad,
To wish death at mornings break
And to regret it within nights blinding dark
Andrew Jan 2019
The water screeches along the shore,
Depths of madness and malice
Are reached, cascading along in a roar
And it continues ever so long,
for the river never ends, only
the light upon which it is seen.

Why do I follow such a thing,
A beast blind and wild as rapids
is my mind,
But i always follow.
Andrew Dec 2017
I fear Life,
As I do death,
Dark.
To dream,
Of both,
I will wake up
Yearning love, sweet
Love,
And company.
For both
Scream
Loneliness
Andrew Sep 2018
The sun lights my sadness, My heart
Is like an early Earth, where no joy is birthed,
Merely consumed by iron flames and gray rock.
From my blankets I turn, to face the Suns smirk,
He knows dew drops and seas of which I’ve yet to dream;
He knows the door I hide behind shall never lock.
And my heart joins me at noon, when gloom of early day
Resides to memory, and only then I see the sky cream,
The grass green, and my tall hope hiding behind the willow tree.

I reach, tall as I am, yet to no success, I am cursed to remain
sad; and once more, as horizon captures the foolish Sun,
Does my heart light my night and from it I can never run.
It feels as though happiness will join
Andrew Mar 2021
Had it been the place in which I was conceived,
Then surely the light would not be relief.
Had it loved the street on which I was born;
From the socket, bones would surely be torn;
From the sockets on which I walk so free;
From Standen street to the timid oak tree.

I’ve known it to follow whichever I roam, from conception to birth to the warm missed tomb.

I hear it
I hear it call
I hear it
I’ve heard it all
It reaches
Andrew Jul 2018
For the seeds of
immortality are
Belief
In the sun
In the moon.
Andrew Sep 2017
In my reality, I immerse
And grasp the daisies
Hold forevermore, unrelenting
Until the world is no more seen
As something man is renting.
Andrew Dec 2020
Stood I beside the hillside that stood so tall.
From my feet at the base, stared my eyes to the peak
from the hill did I witness:
Jagged rock jutting from graves
Pine spitting upon me
And sky, crawling from shaded edge.

I knew what I saw was where I had been,
so too was I aware it was where I'd be.
Andrew Nov 2017
I saw you when you were blind to all, upon the ragged snows
At springs first thaw
For this is you, the coming of green
The whistling winds
The widows grief;
So gentle and sad
I,
Saw it so,
But remained unseen.
Andrew Jan 2018
Graceful I lay, bout the grass, stretching shade
Along my limbs, the life line I call upon, from joy to blade.
Grey sorrow flicks my nerve
Streaming flight with grace so near
Ghosts of my deeds often done
Crawl of grave reeking tears
Burning minds infinite run.
Alone but certainly not.
Andrew Oct 2017
And although heart broken
I came to know,
Even without her
The sun will set the sky ablaze,
And the grass will grow
It's alright to be heartbroken
Andrew Mar 2019
Down when and now not tomorrow (though tomorrow will be)
Do not worry today is not the last of its kind;
“It hurts today, and to think, it has hurt before”
“But that’s life”
“The happy in life though, where is it hiding”
“behind the night”
“But is it this night? It must be this night, this moon”
The moon, the moon, no sun, but the quiet light blazing beyond our sight
“This night is something new but will not be different”


Not different

But new

An hour in the grandeur of life
Is relegated to an hour,
It will never be more.
“But I’ve seen so much in this hour,”
But it remained an hour and remains a moment
And remains nothing more.

For the man, passer by, passing by..... passed by and had nothing of your moment
It is only yours, he has nothing of it
It is only yours, so keep it safe.
Not with fear of losing it
No, it is special and it will be lost.
But keep it safe because it is not his.....it is yours.
Andrew Dec 2019
Upon age dragging my soul,
from when i was young i drew myself old;
Though now i am here I miss the trees that once grew home,
the deck, tumbled over
and my feet blistered and burnt

The pains of adventure bore hurt greater than i'd know
for only in todays time am I aware of what was
And I am no longer.
No longer a tree on which we climb,
never to be what I now can only see.

I had my turn and it is passed,
But today is my chance
at what others wanted to last.
Andrew May 2018
And as the sparrow shan’t fall,
I, a friend of love, shan’t tumble
From trust.
For amongst the words brought
Unto
This world
Is that of trust calling proud
The tree remaining among the wind,
And the comet burning upon
The suns
Rays.
I too shall remain for so long as I can,
But like ice,
Will someday melt away into nothing.
Andrew Jan 2018
I wish not to fall upon the poor mans death,
The death of broken glass, of infinite sickness.
The fire raging,
Raging within my soul pleads no
To a passing around my waist, for
Wasted life it would be, calling me free.
I musn’t live to fight, but to greet
The running rays blinding nocturnal cries.
Live, live the blistering light,
The
Greed I
Know,
The
never ending
Fright.
Andrew Dec 2017
And beauty cries of envy for her
Not of the most superficial;
but because she laughs at the stars,
and rolls against the blowing wind.
The rains of stormfront seek;
to be loved within doubt, loved
upon the grazed fields locking her reflection,
within the sight it sets.

Yet she is mad of desire,
mad as the dog among the iron wire.
Though so am i, mad too,
but of guilt,
of greed in the shallow mans sea.
And upon that thought rolled
the tire.
Away she went
Dreaming swift along the dolphin ever blue;
below surf ,
distant of me.
Andrew May 2018
Fear of the
Lost moments,
Breeds guilt
Amongst those
Kept.
Andrew Dec 2017
Left of hope lies, love.
The prowling lion,
The snowy dove.
Drawing near my way,
To light ahead,
The bird of prey.
But I'm caught
The candle burns,
But blind to light
Is hope of sight.
Andrew Jan 2020
Speak of love in the world where it has belonged for years,
Since the dawn of the sun,
In its waves of birthed glory unto the world,
Speak of love in all it has been and will be.

For I know of love as a grasshopper may,
I am merely a follower in its almighty
merely a follower in its glory
and I am in its pain.
We follow it wherever it takes us
Andrew Mar 2019
Treason of the wind is to remain, sand stone and dust
Sand stone and dust is all we’ve tried before,
Before the raining days and blowing toppled sea waves
Tip top above the lot, the lonely man craving the sea
For his house no longer a home has burst the love, the fiery fear
And that is all
We hear
The good quiet and bad blown loud.
Loud and louder.....
Until......
Treason of the wave becomes in itself a love
Of grass and trees, shroud the sun and run, have fun
That itself is love
That is love and the wind and the wave and the tree and love.
I miss the all,
the all of it; I miss her all the most.
Andrew Feb 2020
"Lovely isn't it?"

                              "The lonely moon lying above the tree line?"

"Yes, but I do not see a lonely moon."

                              "Where is this moon you speak of? I see not company in the forest, nor the bridge to its guarded heaven."

"Perhaps you do not, but can it not be among love if others are not quite about their love for it?"

                              "Can it not be loved and lone all at once?"

"Yes but the moon must not fall into such perpetuations,
We all desire and much more, require its pride and loveliness."

You are a moon my friend, a moon in a night sky.
Know to be loved and alone, and then know to love ones self.
Andrew Jan 2018
Once more did the snow fall slick
Drip, drip slicking the road did the water works.
Her tears took me along a dark street,
With the shadows I heard my fears,
Doubts and sorrows;
Playing loud then quiet with no stop
Again I continued along the solemn path,
Until
I reached her loving bones,
Home was how it felt, her joints rattled eerie gasps
Of my deceit
And I knew of it all, the love,
The sorrow,
That I should not have brought her here.
Andrew Apr 2019
Death will come for all men when it is their time.
You sit and in your world the sun is gone,
And night has taken hold.
Though as young as you are old,
We choose not when death will take hold.
And my day will blaze on,
My skin soaking in sunlight;
But I too will join you in ground and dirt,
Where the earthworms burrow
And the shadows spurt
Gushing upon my once tanned skin,
At level where it basks your rotting limbs
But this is not you anymore.
.
You will not always be alone,
but for now, I cannot join
So, cry wherever you are until my day has come.
.
Or perhaps my delusions have taken hold
Perhaps my world is the newer
And within yours my heart is cold,
And my blood flows no more
As you stroll in sunlight galore.

Please do not leave me here
oh god I’m so cold
It’s all so cold down here
So, lonely down here
I’m calling but
It never reaches your ears.
Maybe I have died and you still walk
Andrew Aug 2017
Anxious flowers of petal dreams
It left clear sight
But man of north bound feet
Stills language of pain and might
Agony and strife bleeds sanity neat
Forgetting how it was
A lake blooming paradise and domain
Yet all guided death to love
Andrew Jan 2018
The hare dug up the soil
Seeking life among the sycamore roots,
Gentle rhythms serenading the earth,
Yet it stopped,
Calling how rude the hare
For ripping at its surface
But the hare shan't care, for it means little to the earth,
As the earth means nothing to the North Star.
So why shall the small be placed large among the worries
Haunting the lively marble.
To say

If you seek a rose within a wheat field you shall search forever.
Andrew Dec 2017
The timbre wolves dreamt a lone dream;
Realm of the young, a gentle
Scream,
Cries it untrue,  I am me;
I am a stream of lost quests concerning future,
concerning death,
It is path, valued if she, they, the queen jewel.
Cruelty crowned the lost soul, the howling hound.
Calling upon moonlight jazz, it's grand rule.
Andrew Apr 2019
It is true i guess,
That at the end
you will not be by my side,
As you were
in so many dreams of mine.
