I shook hands with my son today as we played
The greatest game of golf
Ever
Till yesterday when I shook hands with my bud as we played
The greatest game of golf
Ever
Then I remembered the last game I played with my father before he left this world And that too was
The greatest game of golf
Ever
In fact every single game of golf I've ever played has been
The greatest game of golf
Ever
And with all that in my mind I realise how everyday is
The greatest day in my life
Ever

There is no second chance
A time to wish again
Be sorry for my faults
So be there many
See the time
So today shall be my greatest day
Ever
As I turn to my wife as she breaths gently from her softness in sleep
When I wake to the sounds of breakfast made
Hear my dog prancing for food

Today shall be the greatest day
Ever
When I laugh in the mirror
At a face
Not pretty or fine
Yet today is another
To eat lunch all together
Watch footy
See our son play his best
How lucky
My test

Today shall be the greatest day
Ever
When we all sit at home
Laugh
Moan the groan
Say night till the morn
As the greatest day
Ever
Becomes
A new dawn

I don't laugh anymore
I just bow my head
Lower my shoulders
Walk in line for my pay

I don't cry anymore
I just hold in my sadness
Wipe eyes full to the edge
Just stare like my life means nothing

I don't care anymore
I just wave at the news
Sigh when I loose
Leave the door wide...open

I don't laugh anymore
Since you walked out my way
Now the world has gone grey
As the sun hides its rays
Dark the world

I don't cry anymore
Since you worded my hate
Did hurt me again
Gone the tears
Just my shame
Yet again

I don't care anymore
For I have gone was my
life
See the door shut to all
Yes this is
My life

This weeping child within me screams into the night
The light doth never shine
Nor the moon beam into my lair
Cold is the cold
That takes me

The darkest of days have come for my blood
And who am I to deny such
My soul is weak and my body cold
And my cry goes on

A sweet sound of my madness
Has bore its fruit of temptation
For I be the famished
The thirsty
The wanted
And so they wait
For its all to easy to fail
All to easy to walk

This faded edge so worn
Comes that much clearer
In tears turned ice
Please come
Please warm me

I only want your heart
I only need your love
I only want you
You
Just you
andy fardell Nov 2013
My heart becomes the expired
As love leaves my cry
Each minute fails in a beat
Not biting
Nor bowing to the pressure from the sea of the enlightened
Watch my drift
Watch me drown
Watch me suffer in a pity bore from the fruit of the very land of begun
For I am the weakened
I am the lost
I am the never ending story
Wanting a found

The house felt so quiet with only the hum from the fan
Cooling my only contact with the outside world
Only I could hear the pattering from the spiders run
From their frenzied night time feast
My spine felt a shiver
The glow had faded from the fire and my palms sweated
At the thought of my insanity  
Yet here I must write
Write
To keep the demons at my door
Write
To stop them crawling into me
Write
To stop the feel as they whisper into my silence
I close my mouth and scream

So here I write soliloquies
Here I write my soul
It's here I write my madness
The writing on the wall
A poet writes of nothingness
No meaning
Break the rule
The madness from the shadows speak
All quiet breaks

Poor the soul

The golden hour wakes me, I'd fallen yet again
All bottles have been broken
Empty for the drain
I wallow in my pity,the gallon drum awaits
Drinking for my future
Drinking for my wake
A poet so I be
Famously broken
Fabulous me

The house felt so peaceful as my normality returned
The writing left in front of me all ready for the burn
I seek another moments grace
Please madness come
Return
My writing comes that different here
An era that I spurn
Now poets will remember this in writing that they feel
A time for loosing all inside
A craving feeds the feel
It's hard to speak when no one knows how crazy that you are
It's poets talk we really crave
The
Writing on the wall

Embrace the uncertainty of life
Don't be Lost
As I be
Don't be Alone
Like the sea
For tomorrow will bring a new meaning

The dark days come early
My eyes tighten to the fade
From the shine that beckons
Me to temptation
I wait
And wait

She looks
I wish
I wait

My needs wanted
Her faded eyes knew no glint
Of the future waiting
Then she smiled
The heaven and the earth lay before me
Was this my future
Did she just look

I wanted everything
I wanted love
Just look at me my lover
Please say you love me too
I've waited for the ever
Waited just for you

She walked away
And still I stood
I'd waited for my future
I'd waited for our love
This chance to change our future
Gone
Misunderstood
