Empty
andy fardell Feb 2014
My empty mind so full of the past
All lost to the future
Dead to the present
These eyes given blur

Nothing feels me anymore
No pain to gain
Nor thrill given pill
A soul wrapped in anger
Tossed for the waste

Oh the joys of another breath
Feeding these veins so cruel to myself
A sighed voice screams in the quiet
Wake this shout
Fill me

Can you not see the fight in me
It wants to live
It wants to run and shout
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Instead I turn my face to a cold pillow
Look away from a world I could love
Let me find the deep deep black
I call home
Leave me
Leave me ....alone

The Rise Of The Blue Swan
andy fardell Feb 2014
He hid in the shadows of his life
For the world hurt him and all that he wanted
A mind shattered into the shards of hurt that burned
His skin at the merest thought

The blue swan laid low
Like a sunset hidden in the midday sun
Or a full moon ready in the depths of the darkest hollow
His time would come
The blossom would break and his beating wings would soon rise
For he was the blue swan
His pen ready yet she was hidden in the clouds of his uncleared mind  
A mate for his remainder  
Their love
His way

Swan so blue please wake from your bitter
Shine like the kindred spirit you had before the storm
Swan of the day
Love of the night
Your future is waiting
So bright is your fire  
The day has come for the blue swan to fly
So beat like the earth on the run
Rise to the mountains
Shout to the sky
Fly  
Blue
Fly ..

This Sword
andy fardell Feb 2014
It is my ink inlaid with blood that I do write from my heart,I fear not what lays before me I fear not what walls my quill may break. I need no shame in what I write nor feel as my writing will and shall remain so from me and my heart My sword is sharp,sharper than any steel for I need no threat to obtain my feelings,no anger in my voice for only in your mind will I blossom and win the war within ....the peace shall be my Eden

The World Is Broken
andy fardell Feb 2014
We carry on our daily roles
We breath the air
Control our goals
And yet I wonder if we do care
Our world is broken
In despair  

I watch the news  
It's bitter taste
All this anger
All this rage
No food to feed the poor and needy
Bankers bonus  
Hungry
Greedy  

Fighting over dust of land
Politicians killing grand
All because a dollar bill
Yen or sterling
All gods will

Blankets hidden
Cold go shiver
Fine the starving
Feed the killer

I believe we've come to far
The world is broken
Self the harm
The world is broken
I'm in tears
Ive seen the future
This my fear

Note ....Having watched the news tonight I am completely broken,canceled children's operations in my own back yard ,fighting in Syria,bankers gambling our pensions away,bedroom tax,sanctions for those most in need of food ,profits for big business while the poor go unfed,police soldiers and yes big brother watching us.
Why do we allow such countries to fight,is it not the people that suffer,why do we allow the likes of North Korea,why do we allow the likes of America to treat their poor as so yet spend so much on warfare.Why do we treat our elderly so awful in the UK.
Why ???
Why ???
Why ???

Because The World is Broken .....
andy fardell Feb 2014
So my secret is out  
Yet here you stand
Washed and waited still by me
Now you know
After all these years
My peace is our peace
I love you
Please don't spread the words I said
It's hidden
It's our bless
The world must never know
The words I've spoken
Given you  
Should anyone go ask
You nod a smile
Be blank
Go past  
Don't tell them not a thing
Our secrets hidden
Bursting in
Be fire upon your eyes
A passion burning
Lips on fire

Be ready !!

Today Would Be Different
andy fardell Feb 2014
Slowly I turned the page
I like the new day
Bitten lip ready for a voice
Eyes rested from the darkness  
Now alive and alert

Today would be different
See my book was empty
All chapters blank
No news yet to be written
Today would be different

Stretching my mind I wondered
A smile
What new shoots from the tree
Would come
Who's life would I change
Where would I go
Should
My left turn right
Could
My right turn left
Only the shadows would know  

For they always know
Their book is never empty
Read it be
Like the palm in my hand
Lines scarred into my future
Yet my mind has the key
To re write my page
My eyes have the magic to change
This written
Today would be different

Feel the itching on my hand
As the path breaks free
New lines
New hope in a
New day  
The shadows fallen
To the glorious dawn of the sun
Today would be different

The Old Sea Dog
andy fardell Feb 2014
I do not bark
But have a bite
I do no harm
Unless we fight
Yet I be the only dog of the sea thats
Unloved

I'm gentle and social
I travel
I follow
A scent is a dinner
Eating out

Be I misunderstood
Be I fair
I'm hungry
I feast

This Blowing Wind
andy fardell Feb 2014
Crisp and crackle went the sheets
As I hid my mind from the sounds outside
The wind did scream its terror
As I shivered to another ghost walking
Over my future

My nightmare had started its watery heat
And lay there I must to the paralytic state
Of night
The battering continued and my life became
Less

This nigh of nights felt different
Felt louder
Brighter
Darker
Scarier
Than many many moons of past
And full was that moon
Shining like the sun
Shimmering dances round my room
Yet my music did play another tune

Eerie thoughts consumed my mind
The grasp had rumbled  
I was done
Burnt to tinder  
Gusts of hunger began their feast
Wave after wave the winds
Surrounded me

Drowning in the chilling blasts
Of night
I bequeathed my love
My dream was nearly over
The silence of the wind held me tight
My voice silenced
The calm of dawn had arrived

Everyone has a Secret
andy fardell Feb 2014
If I whisper in your ear
Then your mine all mine you see
For I want to tell you all
It's my writing
It's the wall
My secret wants to burst
It's screams to me
It hurts
I hope you feel the same  
When I tell you all
My game
For seven and the forty
I've hidden what was naughty
No sounds have passed my lips
The secrets all have hid
So trust is all I've had
Now your my light
My grasp
So listen
Listen good
My life misunderstood
I'll say this only once
The secrets here
Don't run

Are you ready ??????

Crumpled
andy fardell Feb 2014
Can you ******* fear
For I am lost
Broken
Crumpled under

See these lines
Bitterness in life
Sorrowed
This wasted ink I flow

My silent voices scream
Words ranted vermin
Wanted
For a better way to wake

Alas I have your thoughts
And now you wonder
Thinking
Am I really so blinded    

The new day comes
Torture behold me
Ready
For the madness of mind

Sweet Summer Kiss
andy fardell Feb 2014
The raindrops are falling as tears on my face
I wonder who's calling the past catching haste
And yes I still wonder
Where all it fell wrong
So I wrote you a letter and sung to this song

Let me hold you beside me
Let me kiss both your lips
Just give me a second
Your sweet summer kiss

I'm lost in the dessert
I'm all on a drift
The dry of the well
The summer is missed
I know you still want me
But hide from your past
So I wrote you this letter and sung to this song

Let me hold you beside me
Let me kiss both your lips
Just give me a second
Your sweet summer kiss

3 weeks have all passed now
And still your not here
the dessert is winning
I'm lost that I fear
I wonder where you are and who you are with
Yet still I remember
Your sweet summer kiss

Let me hold you beside me
Let me kiss both your lips
Just give me a second
Your sweet summer kiss

Rain
andy fardell Feb 2014
The earth cries blood from the vessels of life
No haven from the tide of torture about to bequeath
This well trodden land
For 40 days and 40 nights we have bowed our heads
In shame
And still the rain comes

Torrent after torrent to feed our guilt
We pray for sun
An answer that never comes
Tears from the land
Swallow us
Devour us
Feed on our expected want

The land has left and my boat
Is filled
For the masses the search is on
In new pastures
A new life
A new way to treat ourselves
I wait for the calm

Sun oh shine down on my life
Shine down on this world
As I land for the ready
Underneath my look the green shoots
Flow  
Hold my hand and  
Let the fun begin

The Mask
andy fardell Feb 2014
My mask of a thousand years shows no emotion
For this world
For each grain of its being
Holds a story for our future
Each line, crease and fold bares heavy
In my heart

And the world continues its turn
What horrors have I unleashed
7 billion souls
Hungry
Wanting
Crying for a better hope

And still they prey
It is this waste that enrages me into action
I gave them life and all they do is
Fight it
Steal it
Shame it
All to anger me
Rage me into the monster I so rarely wish  

The time has come for the mask to fall
This place needs me
My world is broken
And I am ashamed
Look at me and worry
For the future is here and
The story is written

Shining Bright
andy fardell Jan 2014
As I stepped outside as clear in the air
A brightest of light sparkled so near
The stars in their twinkle did come to my lips
This breath taken over all held in a wisp

Amazingly brilliant all ready for view
The lights in the sky so gloriously new
No boundaries given just clear in the night
This wondrous feeling I'm free I'm alive

My smile did return as I stared back in awe
The sky on this night so beautiful calm
I knew there and then that I'd taken the choice
The no turning back a voice to rejoice

My writing returned the book on the table
I'm coming free world I'm willing and able
My name will be up there as clear as the night
The time for the future is here shining bright

Ink
andy fardell Jan 2014
Ink
The ink is dying in my thoughts
What am I
On
No widow wakes
Nor sleep from my
Dreams
Blank whiteness so becomes
Blinded

Music takes me
Plays my soul
Beats my toes to a jitter
Hands that want to scream
Hold this pen of life

So cold is the flow
A breath on hold
Cold
So cold
Teeth bitten to a silence
The ink has solidified
My heart had died

Spiders
andy fardell Jan 2014
The spiders in my head love to dance
In control of my thoughts they prance
Washing my will
They dance for the thrill

The spiders in my mind own me
Look at my eyes and you will see them
Hiding a flaunt as they spin
Up a storm  

The spiders in my soul cry a reach
For they search this skin for love
On my lonely world
I progress

Be careful when I speak
Hear the spider
Look at me
For a kiss
I will open your eyes
andy fardell Jan 2014
I can feel your pain
Don't hide the truth
Tell us out
Feed the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

We wont bite
Just tell you good
Hold my hand
Feel the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

See my smile
It's here for good
Just let go
Feed the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

This is the club of life
Where good is good
Hurt is forbidden
Feel the love
Walk on over to the other side
Come on in and join the club

Just one small step
That's all it needs
A life for freedom
Feel the love
Feel our love
Walk on over to the other side

Father dear Father
andy fardell Jan 2014
Father dear Father

Your music played on the radio
No words from these lips
I remembered the sunshine in your smile
A laugh that had me out
All gone down
A memory bliss

Father dear Father

The clouds were light,fluffy and soft
My grasp reaching to a faded hand
The sky blue gave me a lift
Till I looked over
Then I was sad
So lonely

Father dear Father

It's been a while yet still I pain
Still I want another chance
Another breath
My vision blurred by watered eyes
This cry
Your long long sleep

The Wakening
andy fardell Jan 2014
The wakening bore its fruits
Aches inside me still beating at these bones
Yet the bottle stays dry and my thirst
Becomes me

Why me
Surrounded in these walls
Why shout at my scream inside
A bloodied lip my only quench
Sends a shiver

There is no future when the world
Is painted black
There is no peace I fear
Only pain
Only sorrow
I breath

Happy New Despair
andy fardell Dec 2013
Well another year becomes an end
Yet fight we do to pay the rent
Scrimp and save to make it by
Money
World
My laugh
I cry

We fight for peace yet live for war
Religion feeds the hate
Deplore
Be oil bound
Or desert land
Fighting freedom
Media land

Adverts paid from the starving lives
CEO ..on dollar lies
Shakes my head that we don't care
Send us cash
No shame
Despair

Message from our leaders say
Here in Britain we all pay
(I don't see them hurting)
But for what my future
Battle plans
Oil
Greed
Starve the land

So I bow to the follow
No head I raise to show
I follow like the sheep
I'm told
The want
I know

I'll be that good and never shout
I'll be the one
Say yes
The world controlled because
I am
I follow like the rest

Sweet music plays my heart

My lovely
It's Christmas time
For hope

Please hold my hand
This Christmas
Hold my hand
This Christmas time
Let's fly the world together
Come share our love
Divine

Let us dance for the future
Let us dance to bells of hope
Just another

Scrooge
andy fardell Dec 2013
I cannot feel the love thats there
My Christmas failed
Bleak ended
All is fair

No sherry cheer or party grape
It's all inside
The dreaded
Hate

The songs I love now rattle hard
Slam the silence
Breath out
Loud

The sheep I shout
No more to care
You hear me now
Scrooge
I am

“Bah," said Scrooge, "Humbug.”

Black Christmas
andy fardell Dec 2013
I can feel the blackness coming
My Christmas ghost of past
Fake smiles all gone
I had it
No laughter
Gone the blast

No presents for a tree not cut
Or dinner for no guests
A lonely morning wakes for me
Just like it
All the rest

I wonder could I be more down
Would money make me laugh
Baa humbug to the happy crowd
A bottle comes
My drowning friend

And in my haze I call my mind
From times so long in past
When we all sat and laughed a lot
sang hymns from long ago
When we all wrote how good we'd been
The sack lay at our beds
The opening of the 4am
Woke parents from those zzzz's

This Christmas day my head all high
On smells from dinners feast
A place so full of papers ripped
No carpet at our feet
When grandad came with so much more we wooed
At grandmas smile
A time when all the family called
That was my Christmas smile

Now here I lay in bed I stay
My head been on the rocks
The house is
cold
All lonely now
The candles fizzed away
No cards just
dust
My memories
bust
It's just another day

Sara
andy fardell Dec 2013
Red lips painted from a frenzied white
For they had been waiting for a long time
Tears to scare from memories past
Yet now is the time
Now is the place

Sara it is you they want
When the clock strike the midnight
In the land of the lonely
For only then will they show their
Paint

In just 40 clicks
Whilst you are sleeping
For they will be there
In the hallway
In the cupboards where you hide your dreams
Under your bed
Catching your breath as you lay awake
Daring not to open your eyes
To the
CLOWNS

For they are taking you
Playing you to a fiddled
Madness
Enjoy your sleep my friend as the Forty strikes
Our beginning
your's the end

The glass stands empty
Waiting me
Wanting me
Needing my fate
The end is fallen
Tears all stolen
My cry filled in a desert never dry

I sit in a silence of remorse from my past degrade
I sit to end it all
I sit to fail
I sit cos standing aint my wake
Be the grass painted green  
So I be colour blind

Fill me up and let me swell
Be my poison
Be my will
For I am me and me am I
The world goes spinning
A wait until I ???

The glass stands empty
Waiting for the fill
Another me
Another you
Another had it all

You couldn't see my sadness
All hidden from the show
A heart that gave up singing
Shameless.....
I
Know

The ache in my eyes showed no end
Wicked be my life
A meaning from no beginning
A start from no end
I lower my face
To a pavement not dry

So my life ends with
Been a nice day !!
Oh yes been quite pleasant  
The second swallow from the third drink
Shows my disdain
In my pity upon my fellow
As their time ticks away
The room of the dead
Await them

Well I'll walk away
Dry my eyes
Breath the air
And leave them in their wallow
Happiness
Comes
Life lives
And my end ..???

To Know

I hear the music play
And I smile
With a sound from a years gone past
My heart warms
And I smile
......................
How the crackled fire plays
From a time of yesterday
I see you there watching me
Loving me
Holding me
A mothers look
A care behold
My life in her love

Such a shame she cut me
Hurt the very me
Burned my own existence
Scorched this soul
Scarred for a generation
Left me
Cold

What could I have been
Now
Then
Would I have life
Bore from a kindness
Alas I will never want
To know

For now she is gone and my eyes hurt
A little less
Now I have a love
that loves me as I love her  
For she knows and See's my pain
She is there for me
She is my life

The Art of Love
andy fardell Nov 2013
The sonnet in my head bears no resemblance to the
Letters from my lips
For my eyes in this darkness sing
So sweetly of these days
A day when the moon lights the sun
And my heart beats to the rhythm
From the stars

My love how you move me
Like no other in this life
From your lips comes my pleasure
In the silence that you speak
Please sing to me that sweet sweet music
As you walk by my side  

Your hand feels so gentle as we waltz
Through the garden of my Eden  
In the eve of our night  
My desire full on empty
This unrequited love

One day when you see me
For all I am now
The heavens will become us
True love be it born
Let the stars sing out our glory

The Greatest Day Ever
andy fardell Nov 2013
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

My Life
andy fardell Nov 2013
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

Cold is the cold
andy fardell Nov 2013
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

Suffer
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 Poet
andy fardell Nov 2013
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

The Wait
andy fardell Nov 2013
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

Sing
andy fardell Nov 2013
If ever I must sing as poets have
Then the world would be haunted
They'd find I was mad
I'd sing to the stars
I'd sing to the moon
No place on this earth
Could hide from my tunes

See my words sound on paper so wicked
and loud
Yet sing as I do
No poets allowed

The writing goes dancing all over the sheet
My voice in an octave
Not pleasant indeed
My shrill is the dreading of living in range
One shout of my music
Sends war from the planes
I've tried many lessons to
Be just like them
The greats like Lord Bryon
Keats and Miss Anne

Well I read the "Farewell"
Unusual for me as reading old lines
Means nothing but trees
She leaped of the page and incited
My views
I know where's she lays now
I bow to her muse

Three years I've been singing as poets would have
Yet all I find out there are
Wishes and sad
I want to send volumes for all of the land
I want to find gold
The never the grand
I want to sing out yet my voice
Goes unheard
I want to rejoice
My willing my verse
One day that I'm famous the poets will say
Please sing for us badly
As dead as I be  
And sing like an angel ..
My pure
poetry

The Brightest Flower
andy fardell Nov 2013
A flower held hand
As the young girl reaches up for her
mothers grasp
The reddest of velvet's reflected from
Tears on eyes
Her poppy
Stands proud and straight

She knows why she's standing
She know no return
Her father not here now
His never come home

He fought for his country
He fought for his life
He fought for his honour
His family
Our life

Remember this girl that cries every night
No father to hold her
Is gone from this earth
Yet she is the proudest
A daughter could be
Because of her father
Gave life
For you
...and for me

Remember
andy fardell Nov 2013
Remember

Remember what they fought for
Remember why they fell
Remember all the killings
The living life in hell

Remember what they did for us
Remember who they were
Remember all the people
That they did fight and fall

A day to show our pride
A day to bow our heads
A day to mourn our family
Lest we forget

Poppy Day
andy fardell Nov 2013
In between the hills lays a land of green green grass
Where the heavens made their love of life
And gods sung of such sight
Be the lands that they did fight for us
the green green grass

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

In battle times and truces found the land did best
It could
Yet all of them who fought for us they knew and understood
The green land see found their place to die for
Poppy's blood
A land we wished we all could live
A world of peace and love

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

Someday the land will fill our souls and peace will
Win the day
The green green land will be our rest god bless to all we pray
In those who fought so we could see the green green land this way
We praise and silence once a year
Remembrance

The Letter
andy fardell Nov 2013
The taste in my mouth came bitter
Words from these cold hard lips
Vented a fire
I was ready to lavish

So you closed the door
And all around me fell away
The heat that I drank from
All washed and pressed into
A letter

No smell of your perfume
A kiss missing pose
Just forms all in black
As I read into silence

My rock crumbled with every
tear
Failed foolery wished
A turn back the clocks
I have become the lost

An end that started so well
Fell before my weary sadness
Oh how I miss you
So silently I step away
andy fardell Nov 2013
All day had been spent in the trenches
The boy had been busy
His knife now blunt yet he was happy
The name was written
The gun all gleaming

The black hands had done their fill
And the boy was ready
The bullet had been named
And the boy was ready
He would sleep well tonight

A dream of the morning hate came to his reality
Stand too !!!
Stand too !!!
And the boy was ready

He took his position on the fire step
And the boy was ready
Fire ....
Fire .....
Fire ......
A white ashen man stepped down

My great Uncle never told me anymore about that day
Nor of the atrocities that were bestowed on him
Yet the few photo's I have sit proud on my wall at home
Along with his medals

We will remember them

The Clown
andy fardell Nov 2013
With my opened eyes the world came to my focus
Here before me through the glassed prison
Called home
The mist had taken control
And this was my wake

The world had lost its colour
My life had broken down
This heart was left in pieces
Last night I was the clown

Another faded evening
Of wanted love and care
Instead I drank for freedom
I drank because I dared

At first they wanted friendship
A happy place to be
The drinks all round god bless em
Until the wait and see
Until the wait and see

My inner man did show them
The real one inside
All plots are going broken
I'm ready for the ride

The last of night was over
My head did bow in shame
The dawning of the future
The mist did lay its claim

So now I wait
Let the mist fade  

Give me peace for just an hour
Release me let me free
Let me free

Em
andy fardell Oct 2013
Em
My god lives with em
She likes it when I smile
Look up at the blue
Squint in the sun
Roar when I run

Inside I feel em
Yet she knows I know
No morals
Lost
Just respect
Not for show

My cross aint for real
No burning
Just the em and god
No big deal

See I am the one
A one for the all
There is no beginning
It's all a big fail
See I am the dust
I am the present
And I be the future
I be the life

A life from the past is the way of the here time
No hidden for genders
We all breath the lifeline
I am
Em
I am my own
God

Pain
andy fardell Oct 2013
Your heart will beat a million times more than mine
My hand will hold you here
My love will dry your tears
Take your pain
Hold you tight

I know not really why i say those means
My mind goes crazy it beats me deep within
Scars my soul from your thoughts
Breaks my heart
Tears me ....... halves

One dance is all I ask under a moonlight shine
Tango in the silver sun  
Hold me
Let me hide you the pain
Let me breath you a life
In time
Live again

Sad eyes
andy fardell Oct 2013
In her little black dress all covered in white
She looked at me and turned
Eyes away  
Eyes so sad
Waiting and needing a better place

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

Her love was lost
Gone
Far away and so the eyes sighed
A sadness
Life that told me a waiting
Wishing a better here

But that is not the now
Then is not the here
When is not the want
Now is not the need

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

My reaching hand held a chance
A turn away
A sound of silence
Broke my madness
I tried
Sad are the eyes before me
That turned and looked away

The Beast
andy fardell Oct 2013
The beast has returned
With a taste for blood like no other
My soul has succumbed to the devils liquor
And it tastes good

No inhibitions left for the trail behind
As my voice fans the fire of a fool and his gold
The weak shall not worry and the strong bemuse at my
Sadness and sorrow
With my head bowed I walk away
Broken yet again from the nectars wish
In my search for the freedom these chains do desire

Yet still I thirst
Yet still I want
I cannot hide from these wishes that crave my desire for freedom
Oh freedom
Sweet sweet freedom
How I crave thee
Leave me alone so I may live my life in a peace like all others

The beast has returned

Man Cold
andy fardell Oct 2013
So whats ya problem she shouts as I sit there sniffling in me own little world
Man cold ......I whisper
Uhhh is the response
Take some drugs and crack on I hear
Did she not hear me
MAN COLD .......

The slow shuffle from my seat to the kitchen creates a groan
Even the dog looks at me sad
Man cold ....... I whisper
I'm sure I see him smile
Pheerrrr
GIVE ME DRUGS .......

Ahhhh ...back I go to the safety of my chair in a walk so remote from my normal bounce
Man cold ...I whimper  
Blanket ready for a tissue overload
Remote cuddled and ready for the daytime dross TV
Man cold ............

Sympathy found they crowd round me to leave me unattended
kissed from afar ...I'm ready
Man cold .....party
All alone the switch is flicked I'm up and dancing
Man cold... prancing
Video games ....It's FIFA time  
No pots I'll wash nor face to brush
It's beer o clock lets party rock
Man cold .......

The toll is heard, my blanket wrapped to a weary sound from a snuffly head
I'm back she calls with sympathy shots
How ya feeling
Man cold ...I whisper...
Oh bless you please Ill look after you now
A cup of tea ...she is my hero  
Man cold ......

Remember guy's don't shout it out
Man cold rocks there is no doubt
Just keep it quiet when she does sniffle
You know the drill
Don't blow the whistle

OK love
Just going to the pub for a couple
Will you be alright ....!!!!
Yeah ...I won't be long!!!
