Sun's Light
André Morrison Feb 2020
I always have to face away from the sun
Her light; I betray
Can't face the shadow of what I've become
Out of sight, out of disarray
The number of days I spare to pray
Is only rivalled by the days I don't fare well; like today

Vex
André Morrison Mar 2019
Vex
Get vex when I have *** with you
Don't text, need to get over you
Overview of this lust is stress
Don't even need to confess
I used to be in love with you
Deduced there's no love for me
Can't foresee a future with me
Sleep so warm with bodies intertwined
All physical, but emotional isn't on mind
Why must you do this to me

Third Eye
André Morrison Apr 2019
Life's never too Ideal, it's like stormy weather
Two eyed child with his third eye's perspective severed
Heard of blessings, received a curse & wants it tethered
Hates the weights on his consciousness & wants it feathered
Fate states he's never to end with this endeavour
Forever to be displeasured
He's just sought the comfort he so vividly treasures
Taught effort won't make him triumphant, doesn't matter
***-for tat, in tatters, with his hope set to shatter soon
The night sky is his mind & his dreams are the moon

Radiance & Guidance
André Morrison Dec 2018
As you settle, as you lay sempiternally,
Your love shall endure eternally;
Unconditionally & absolute
Now that the winds have scattered
& the earth is tattered,
Your sun-like radiance remains

Guidance like a star
Your knowledge has no par
Such wisdom has no parallel
Care with such sincerity
Focused on others well-being
With your own being subsidiarity
Viola Morrison: 12th Of March 1945 - 1st Of December 2018
I love you dearly Nana

From
Your little soldier

Can't Decide
André Morrison Jul 2019
I can never make up my mind
Don't know if I want day or nighttime
Can't choose if I want to be in or outside
Maybe I want to be alone, or have you by my side
Can't decide if my cry for help is justified
Should I tell the truth or should I have lied
To be open about my feelings, or to hide
Is it ok to not hold back tears & to cry
Let waters swallow me or ride the tide
To be closed off or have my arms open wide

Cecity
André Morrison Jan 2019
Sinking moods, forever stuck in interlude
Staring at grey skies like it's a reflection of the mind
Bearing no fruits of labour; a slave to life's servitude
Constant excessive sighs & an inability to unwind

Only light in one's eyes, is a reflection off one's phone
No life in one's voice, only a overcast monotone
Vessel's surrounded, but one's soul is alone
Drained from weeping & can't even groan

Liquor & ******; distractions from the consciousness
To put the anguish at ease, digressions is a necessity
Shut the door on itself & swallow the keys
Endlessly stuck in a state of cecity

Fatherless
André Morrison Dec 2018
Mother only had a father figure until '75
Only up to a few days before her first candle was he alive
A singular heart attack to cause multiple heartbreaks
Widowing a woman with four kids...they need to strive
Despite being born in '98, I only had a father since '12
Fourteen years of searching for a father figure; i'd delve
Chapters worth of excuses for disappearing, the nth book to shelve

Get in the bed like you get in the coffin
Supposed to have the last breath, but he's still coughing
Breath in, exhale. An accordion
Sign the accord, have the wealth be accorded too
But according to accusations, his health has been recorded too
Can't run, born acaudal. Bit tipsy off the caudle
Birthed with ton weights to the ankles
Non-progressive like he's earthed
Moral state, oral debate, heart rate
More slate, foresee hate, i'll wait

Ripple
André Morrison Aug 2019
Stagnant water, motionless fluid
Same flow that life has to it
Any disturbance causes a ripple
All pain will scar, no matter how little
Collect tears to measure the sorrow
Recollect the fears present tomorrow
Inspect the rear from paranoia of what follows
Darkness cocoons your mind & swallows

Sweet
André Morrison Jun 2019
Sweet release to satisfy his sweet tooth
Find & categorise the symptoms to find few
Hymn comes, but no prayers answered, sin come due
Bin them hopes, sink them, drink away the blues
Think you can choose, but its fate that chooses for you

Takes
André Morrison Apr 2019
When he wakes, it ends his sound dreamscapes
Profound takes on the world around him
We're all walking through sorrow
& gasping for air as we drown in sin
Today is akin to tomorrow
So he hopes tomorrow doesn't follow
He just needs to borrow some love
So his head can stay above, when push comes to shove

Past Due
André Morrison Apr 2019
The sight of you makes me feel at home
I love how the whisper of your voice in me ear
& The feeling your fingers on my cheeks as they roam
Eliminates all my innate fear, don't need to shed a tear
But I'm still shedding tears because you don't love me
Despite being intimate, we're not intertwined
None of your friends even know I exist
You hide me, for such a reason you resist to tell me
Even though my patience is past due
I stay because I'm in love with you

Sun Deaths
André Morrison Apr 2019
Night skies & sun deaths,
Mirror one's heart & hope
Tidal waves & moon beams,
Symbolise one's mind & dreams
As the sun's light no longer remains,
The moon loses its luminous stain
& The waves no longer show their ruinous pain
Leaving the night unable to contain her cries

Coup
André Morrison Jun 2019
Peace of mind not on my mind
Nothing of the sort, nothing of the kind
Waters calm, no tide to be swept by
Kept by your wave, in your shade like psalm leaves
Past year has taught us that I accept you for you
Just love me back & we'll be two for two
You for who? You for me please, I choose you
Few things make me feel like you do
Heart & head just to feel the same
But my hearts done a coup
Thought I ran out of hope
But you found some for me to renew

Endless
André Morrison Sep 2019
Endless struggles
Shrug away & fend against the endless hurdles
Feint & sway from self-pity that's internal
External words of wisdom & health are eternal saint
Convert hurt for something  more divinely quaint
Reminded that fate states & destiny is what awaits
Blinded by paranoia that one's mind creates
Find mistakes that cause focus on repercussions
Hopeless individual like the rest of your kind
There's beauty that we all align on this basis
Our collective tears could form an oasis
Daydreaming from being reflective on past cases
Stay believing that the sorrow is in its last traces
Pray the endless fray ends tomorrow, it'd be gracious
Littered with thousands of thoughts until we're senseless
Bitter from being weak & defenseless

One Day
One day I shall stop wondering;
Wondering where I should be,
I should be at peace then hopefully,
Then hopefully I’ll feel like I exist,
Like I exist truly to belong here
Here right now? No, but one day
André Morrison Jan 2020
A letter for myself to fall back on
I know you're tired and alone at heart
& perhaps next time you read this, you'll be feeling the same
But I know you'll find someone to open to, someone who'll stay
I know you had constant lows and highs that are far & few
But you're young & you have time still, so relax & focus please
You have a path waiting to embarked on
You're just struggling to find the start...but it'll come
Be patient & everything you'll desire will arrive at the right time
The warmth you crave, the ideal place in life where it at it's peak
It exists, you're truly too kind not to find what you're looking for
You're broken, but time & the right person will heal you
So please don't give up
Do yourself proud, do your mother proud
Do your Nana proud, we know she's watching over us
They sacrificed everything for you & still do so now
So you could be at the place you are now
They pointed you in the direction to your path
So let's do everything we can to get there

We'll make it through the nights alone where we dread to end the day alone & the mornings where we dread another day of sorrowful thoughts and pessimism. You'll be ok...we'll be okay.

Don't falter & don't give in. We got this.

— The End —
