So Maybe
andy fardell Oct 2013
The colour of grey in the sky reflected my own mood
Dark dank and miserable
No music cry nor screams or why
Made me feel

So Empty

Maybe the moon had brushed my tide
My life on hold
Like the tint in my tea from tainted milk
My life has  become the bitterness

So Angry

Tis my time to open the door
Walk out into the colour
Let the rain cover me to a shiver
For I have a chance
I have a life

So Maybe

My Love
andy fardell Oct 2013
Can you not see me crying
Can you not see my pain
In a beat the music comes a blinker
So here I lay

Green is the grass that lays in my path
And you turn away
Turn away my love  

No look to entertain
No heart to break
I'm broken
Broken to a start  

Let the music play
Let me melt into the crowd
Live me a little
Just a little love

So you can love me tomorro
So you can love me again
So you can stare in my future
My love be my end

Waking ....continued
andy fardell Oct 2013
My silent madness spoilt as the wind scratched the branch against the glass  
A reminder of the cool breeze of winter waiting out the door
The shiver returns

I should be used to this
4 am
3am
2am
That feeling of a world stood still whilst in my head the waltzers ride
Never stops

Awake  

So here I am again
Bound to write my own self destruct
Ink drying on a mind fading away
Lost from the found
I cry for my own failed fame

Awake

One day these words may help someone
One day these lines may heal
It's all I ask
It's all I want

Awake

Promise
andy fardell Oct 2013
I promised not to moan today
The feeling sad
The road to rage
I promised not to show these thought's
A promise made
My god
Oh lord  

I lasted but a day or two
The madness swelled
The air turned blue
I promised failed
A head in shame
My shout out loud
It's you I blame

Now some of you will laugh at me
But just you watch
I'll wait you see
Cos just around the corner here
You'll moan at something
Be that clear
And when you start you'll
Stop and smile
I promise you
A laugh out loud

Waking
andy fardell Oct 2013
My irksome mind begins its wallow
In the darkness of the moonlight glow
I stir to another turn awake

The place sounds still

I only wish my soul felt it too

Stepping up to the window I stare to a wasted view
The reflected pane shouts to me  
Horror in my face
My minds screaming silence
The waking always hurts
Oct 2013 · 556
Til I be
andy fardell Oct 2013
Look at me
Look at me now
I'm still the same person
I'm one of the crowd
I look a little fatter or slim down works just fine
This illness takes it all in vain
I'm doing
Doing fine

I sometimes eat your head off
I sometimes rage I'm mad
I blame it on the tablets
I blame it cos I'm bad

One day I'm getting off here
Don't worry you'll be fine
Just hold my hand for freedom
Oh please
Oh please be kind

No ****** music drama
Or silly crossed out signs
Go rock about the ages
The V for victory sign
The V for victory sign

Now that is one big party
Where I can never play
Don't worry I'll be watching
The drinks are on the wake

So morbid I can be sometimes
But better I will get
Ya gonna have to wait a while
Cos I ain't leaving yet
My time on here ain't over
A pain that I can be
We'll celebrate another year
Till I be 93

Crying on the Inside
andy fardell Oct 2013
You cannot see the pain I feel
No expression from my hurt
Yet that look in your eyes makes me
Cry a little
I'm bleeding from my heart

Crying on the inside
Cry myself to sleep
I only want to hold you
Wake me from this dream

You turned the other corner
The reach was never near
Left behind I'm nothing
All hope
My dream
The fear

Crying on the inside
Cry myself to sleep
I only want to hold you
Wake me from this dream

And now the chair is empty
Just standing all alone
The cold has taken over
Ripping out my soul
Now your gone

Crying on the inside
Cry myself to sleep
I only want to hold you
Wake me from this dream

The Place
andy fardell Sep 2013
My inner peace draws a breath from the flowers
Stained in tears
There they lay cold wet and lonely marking a time
A wish that hurt all love
No one deserve
No time again
Only sorrowed brow
As I bowed my head

The weeks passed and the winds came
Time did not heal the open
Life for someone else remained in my thoughts
Memories of my home came into view
Remembering the blurred colours of my past
From the passing of my loved ones
Still the flowers marked
The place

A year passed through the seasons
Time stood still in someones house
A room now dusty
A car not moved
Clothing still scented of the past
And there I stood
Lonely
The flowers fresh
The colours of beauty amongst the
Sadness of the day
A mark now etched
As I bowed my head

Letters in the Alphabet
andy fardell Sep 2013
Letters in the Alphabet

To some words mean everything
To me its all in the music

You see Abc gave me that
Lexicon of love
And I could only Imagine what
Lennon thought
Yet Pulp gave it all for the
Common people
But Bowie was my Hero
Good old Amadeus Rocked me at parties and
Boy George never hurt me as my
Enigma would always return me to innocence
Whilst at the back of my mind I would
Muse to thinking Time is running out

Welcome to my hell
andy fardell Sep 2013
As you sip your morning coffee
Or tuck into your toast
Remember all the good things
And those you love the most
Cos this could be your last day
For giving up the ghost

So we'll celebrate you madly and sing to Elton John
The bottle looks quite empty as we
Celebrate your gone
Now your 6ft under
We'll sing to you your song
We'll ...sing.. to you your song  

You could fall out a window
From way up in the sky
Walk into a plank thats there
Drops you like a fly
I'll bet your just not thinking as
It drives you of the edge
The devil an the deep blue sky are
Really quite impressed


So we'll celebrate you madly and sing to Elton John
The bottle looks quite empty as we
Celebrate your gone
Now your 6ft under
We'll sing to you your song
We'll ...sing... to you your song  

A look into the heaven's
Or is this living hell
To wondered all this fuss round here
It's hotter and you smell
So welcome to the place I love
Welcome to our world
Welcome to this place called earth
Welcome to my hell  
Welcome to my hell..

Come back my lover
andy fardell Sep 2013
As the sun rises and the clouds clear from my mind
Come back my lover
Come back my way
Don't forget what we loved for
Please oh please do stay

The glasses full on empty all hope now washed away
I need you here beside me
I want you every day
Come back my lover
Come on back my way

I wish a new horizon in one we holding hands
Come back my lover
Come back my way
Don't forget what we loved for
Please oh please do stay

Four weeks and still I'm waiting our time is nearly up
My love for you is fading
I drink another cup
Come back my lover
Come back oh please I pray

A sigh of sadness leaves me I'm on another stage
Please call me in the morning
My love for you is grey

Come back my lover
Come back my way
Don't forget what we loved for
Please oh please do stay

The Label
andy fardell Sep 2013
Everyday they attach to us
They define our looks
Make our worth
Show our importance in this world
Yet what do they mean
They mean you follow

We follow whether we like it or not
The ***** on the street to the presidents men
Be it a fine wine or the cheapest ale
The label is always on show
Always there to prove your worth
Always there to show you follow

I don't like labels
My mind has a different kink
Yet everyday I follow just like you
Everyday I wallow in my shame
For being just a label

A label of sadness
A label for taxing
A label in age

And as my chuckle becomes a laughter
I feel that once again the label wins
As you read these lines
As you gather your thoughts
A new label is formed
For me
So it continues

Just take a look
andy fardell Sep 2013
Alas they returned
The faces of the silent
For they had been so very quiet for many a year
Hidden yet on view
Waiting for me to stare
A look in that special way

I'd seen him in the carpet
Just a face
Silent
Quiet
Just a face
Looking lost
My spine gave a tingle

I never know what they want
They never speak
Nor shout
Or leap out
Silent yet they be
Still a shiver scares my soul

You can see them too
If you want
Just take a look
They could be in your curtains
Or staring from your wall
The faces of our passing
Ghosts from time before
Sep 2013 · 401
She
andy fardell Sep 2013
She
The bed lays cold under your heart
White sheets adorn the lifeless room
Yet the sorrow in your look
That lovingness from those black sparkling eyes
Shivers the soul

Still you wait the return
The day to turn to a burning russet red
Where all rules are broken
For she who controls the past controls ..
The future
andy fardell Sep 2013
This afternoon all clocks went wrong

This afternoon the clocks suddenly stopped
My father had died
I watched his vision fade
I held his last breath

My heart cried for just one more moment
One more word
One more squeeze from his cold pale
Hand  

The house became silent
Only the tears of my broken mind
Falling
Gushing
Deafening
My thoughts of a cold empty world
I knew was my place  
Life was over

The weeks passed as minutes
The months as seconds
My days now blurred to a
Fuel filled haze of sorrow
Washed in alcohol that never cured
The hurt

This afternoon all clocks went wrong

And my inner flower blossomed
My world became afresh
My purpose was all to see
It was my time to be a father

My time to show my son
My time for love
To care
My time to show him
Life  
My time to show the lessons
A time for life
Begun

The Corner
andy fardell Sep 2013
Alas the corner nears its bitter end
My wait is near complete
Twenty years have been
Waiting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!


I wait for your breath to fall
In my labyrinth of love
Touch my skin
Feel my heat burn you up
Wanting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

Gold is the ring that holds us tight
A wish
Our love
A feeling Right

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

Syria
andy fardell Sep 2013
There is no end to this madness
A world without a heart
This place that we're called humans
Yet humane we are
We're not

How can we let it happen
Our rulers play us games
A risk
A lie
A maybe if
To let our children blame

So stop the bombs and scrap the bullet
It's us that make them all
Instead lets work on feeding life
And curing all the poor

It's us that turn our backs away
Yet yearn for news in frenzy
See breaking news and nod our heads
I am a prole

It's crazy

They fly around and tell us
To work and love the rules
When war is near upon us
We follow
Who's the fools

Why can we not talk peace again
Unite the world as one
Religion forms
Yet money rules
Where has the love all gone

I only want a peaceful life
I only get one chance
Denounce the rich and share this love
It's time we took control


Let Syria
Have a chance

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She made me hold her closer
She made me laugh
I cried
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced all night

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She took my hand and held me
What was I meant
To do
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced with you

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight You held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

You had me for your supper
Be-spelled is all
I am
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I'll be your life

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight you took my soul  
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Blinded I'm the fool

Closer to the clouds
andy fardell Sep 2013
Closer to the clouds I breath
As my heart lays near
The creaking door sounds another closure
Thankfully the blue blue sea welcomes my return

Baited to the full I wade beyond my depth
Waiting for your eyes to find me
I know your out there
You know I know
So please be gentle
I'm wounded and broke

See My only wish is to stay dry
To keep these tired and worn feet
on solid ground
To meet you
Stay with you
Live with you
Love you

Closer to the clouds I breath
Closer to the sun I feel  
A warmth that beats my heart
knowing your near
Lay with me
Love me

Falling
andy fardell Aug 2013
My hands are tied
Our love
Your lies
I cry to a whisper

Eyes blinded in the bind
Lips cold
From your heated breath
I stay still

I'm gone yet stay
Mystified
Lost
Broken

Why all my hurt
Did you fade
Loose the feel
Love again

So I wait
Just one touch
Reaching out
Falling
Yet again

Life was young
andy fardell Aug 2013
Drips of life fell into my dreams
As the rain leached onto my window
Echoes bouncing as I struggled for the light
Another day needs a beginning

Still as I wake the pain returns
Aches from a body faded to grey
Years of the enslaved bite my unseen
wounds
Once the days were good

Life was young then
Life was free and I cared no further
Only now do my regrets take their toll
As my mind smiles through a face in pain
Bitten are the yellow stains in my grin

Take me
Take me from this ever decreasing circle
That lays claim for my body
Show me the other turn
Claim me for the better off in life
Cold is the dawn

Cold is my life
The empty bed leaves no comfort
From my curse to stay  
Life work me hard so my pain can continue
Let my destitution come true
My day has begun

tHE dREAM
andy fardell Aug 2013
No sense came about me as I woke
A dream in wide open eyes
My lair broken
True madness commenced

This is my like as I sleep
So why scare my awakened self
Limbs in numbed state
Mind heated in sweat  

Just 5 minutes of time gone
Turned me over
A placed hidden horror
My sleep quivers  

You know that place
It hates you well
Awake yet not knowing
The dream
Aug 2013 · 388
Before the hour
andy fardell Aug 2013
I know not now of my face
or my voice
Will I be tall
Maybe walk with a limp
I do not know these things that I be
Because I'm not born yet
A zero you see

I have some 9 months for I
breath in this world
A time for my life base
A boy or a girl
No sky to look out on
I'm waiting you see
I need to kick out first
Let roar
Let me free

I need to grow strong so I cope with
your world
I need a new voice
Some fingers and curls
I hope I'm all there but it
Don't matter to me
I'll be who I want to
As long as I breath

The time has moved on
and the hour is ready
My clock is near started
I've zeroed the hour
Awaken the world cos here I do come
New life for the future
A fathers new son
Aug 2013 · 601
Zero covers all
andy fardell Aug 2013
One day the world will come to an end
And we will return
To the dust of the universe
Life will be no longer  
And the
Zero covers all

Yet with a rye smile
I know that I have lived
Many times in many bodies
As have you
Dust be life
And the
Zero covers all  

Many gods promise life
After life
And it sooths me that
I drink the same water
And taste the same sea
And breath the same air
For they
Must be in all of us
And the
Zero covers all  

One day the world will come to an end
But there is no end
Only a new beginning
And the
Zero covers all

So
andy fardell Aug 2013
So
This twitch in your eye screamed at
my soul
So here I lay
Ready
Waiting
Wanting
Do you love me
Can you care as I care your need
Am I wasted
Wasted to your precious dream
So here I lay

Later

Night light faded the eve
My view is echoed in the ravenous butterflies
as they dance to the light of the silver moon
They look beautiful
Sighing sadness I slide to sleep
as my wanting thoughts
drift into my other world  
So here I lay  

Dawn

The rise of your breath stains my lips
I am spellbound in your toxicity
Look at me
Let me see the sun rise through your
eyes
Love me
Take me
Hold me
Drink me out until I'm dust
For all I want is all you need
So here I lay
Aug 2013 · 608
Yet
andy fardell Aug 2013
Yet
I've never met you
Yet
I know our love is true
I feel that all I trust is
The trust in me and you

No sense from past betrayals
Now
Two birds sing loud in swan
I wait in desperation
I be your magic wand

So darling as you view me
Please take my hand as yours
My hope forever always
Forever in your heart

Skin
andy fardell Aug 2013
I fell in love with your eyes
Those cool emeralds that seared my
Skin
Left me a trust
That melted my fragile heart

In time I know you'll hurt me

In time our betrayal will close us
Down
A place of despair
That even the devil himself would shy
A snigger

But for now
I still live in hope that
You
Love me
And
My emerald blue  
Eyes

Love Through an Age
andy fardell Aug 2013
The blossoming colours raged like a
Golden rainbow
Spellbound in beauty
Maddening Lilies played their only
Hand  
They looked wild

The land was ready for the taking
Perfumed to the air
Let the course be set
Hypnotizing music from the swaying
Leaves of love
The maddening Lilies were ready

Yet like I
Flowers easily fail
Scent becomes lost
Foliaged green burns for the sun
Then the weakness comes
Until the end

Our end
Our colour
Our weakness
The maddening Lilies lay broken
As we
Reached for the sky
Jul 2013 · 517
I Miss You
andy fardell Jul 2013
Tears dried out yet my eyes stream
Red
Thoughts so near
My wish
Your breath
Still all hurt you hide from me
Be that other place
Mirrored thee

The look returned all haggard out
Brown to grey
I scream to shout
Hide the pain
Hurt me out
Hurt me out

A time not gone
The cobwebs show
Dusted windows in a candles glow
But your not here
And so it hurts
Breath in me
To a thunderous roar

Let the heavens cry
Let the moon smile down  
Let me wish a star
Let me
Hold you here
Just one last chance
For I miss you
Jul 2013 · 358
One
andy fardell Jul 2013
One
A hundred billion people have lived and died before me

Yet why am I
The one

Where did they all fall too?
The dust we breath
Inhale

It makes you think a different way
Past families
Earth to earth
You read a different story now
I'm so not from this plan

So now I have your thought's in mine
I wonder where you are?
Do you now think I'll do my best?
Will you now be ?

One

7 billion live amongst me

I know my markers made
The dust that waits our hill
to fill
Can wait another day

This land we thing that owes us all
Yet money rules our head
A figure lied in death and life
To steal our daily bread

I'm told our life's in H2o
As all we are
Blows dust
My Inner me fears not
This world
For this I am
The one

My England
andy fardell Jul 2013
The silence in the sun spread a smile  
Fields of green,gold and red lay before me
Birds in flight still new to the breeze
Swayed and sang to my rested heart

This is my England
The place my breath was born
A world within a universe
A place I call my home

Chatter from my fellow man
As liquid filled our souls
This garden lay before us
The pub our other throne

This is my England
The land I take my steps
A love for living life here  
A place I call my home

My thought a week is over
A drink like Friday's do
The rest from all this madness
Relax with friendly hue  
  
This is my England
The land that we do best
A life for living be here
Home sweet home
I bless

Dream
andy fardell Jul 2013
The clouds have come to the sea of
my mind
Light dulled to a tiny flicker
With the end of the world waiting my
fall
In with the waves I sweep like no
other
Lost to the wash I crash to the burn

To drown in ones self pity cares me
not
For my map has blurred
Torn and battered
With no route to aim

Ahh this life all my life
This time takes my time
Sadness comes ready  
All ready
For the reach
All ready
Takes my breath
The dream is over
Jul 2013 · 365
Silence
andy fardell Jul 2013
The bed lay warm as my eyes turned
to black
I wanted to hear the silence

But the match went on
My pillow hid nothing
Below

Stop is all I prayed
Nothing fixed
Yet all comes broken

My yearn for the peace
From volumes that cried me
Soon the silence
Jul 2013 · 432
The Last Look
andy fardell Jul 2013
My look
Their view
These poor people that see
No better
For they are the broken angels
They are the lost not found
The devil in his weakness

A clap drowns out
my sound

Such pity rains me over
For I can see the sun
I can taste the water
I can sense the fresh winds of spring
For I have lived
I have stood
I am me

All life returns to the earth
One day my mark will have faded

So I bring a little smile knowing
That I have spawned the ground
behind me
I have drank the water from the
gods
I have written for the future
I have learned and I have
loved    

My world is very small right now

The face that stares before me
Red and angry
All lost to gain from the thumb to my
afterlife
For I care not
As my work is done
Feathers float before my look
My last look
Jul 2013 · 351
Crimson Black
andy fardell Jul 2013
Tick of the time as minutes washed
away
This weight upon these shoulders
spread inside me
My dark came so quick

A crimson black that caught my breath
by its beauty
The time to blood on
was near
The time for worry faded
I was ready

They say fear infests a passion
To fight for love
To live a life
To hold
Yet my hunger swept this smile away
And my thirst to drink you dry
Became me
Jul 2013 · 436
Lonely Eyes
andy fardell Jul 2013
My eyes felt so lonely
Was it the look that I never saw
Maybe the view hidden from my wall
Or just the looking down watching these feet
Drew my drawl

I wanted no one to see
The look in my window
Hidden
Shameful in my mind
The world felt heavy

So this is the way
No looks about
This chin stays low
And loneliness friends me  
No harm
Jul 2013 · 589
Sadness
andy fardell Jul 2013
The blue blue sky failed me as my
gloom expanded the day
Through fields of colours
Red,green and yellow
My outlook still saw no
End

An end that needed me to live
Wanted me to love
Wished I'd turned the page
Read a different book

They say the fool of regret is a
life on the edge
My fall is long
This pain reflected in crimson eyes
That pierced only the souls of the
Broken few  

Rain I pray please show my mood
I need the noise to hide my solitude
Yet only the colour of the suns burns
this side
In my heart of hearts the hurt beats
Raw as I wallow in my own subtle
Sadness
Let me breath
Let me live
Live my life

I Know I'm Old
andy fardell Jun 2013
Is my time near
In this ache I feel
My grey turned coat
All lined and creased
An age forgotten
Long time before
A past now gone
I walk the door

Is hair gone thin
A sign I'm past
All creaking bones
Brittle bashed
Teeth of gold
In eaten much
Welter weight
I'd love to run

Is clothes of shade
All brown and tan
My only chance
To join the clan
A stick to bash
Some purple rinse
I know I'm old
Let moan commence

My Whisper
andy fardell Jun 2013
I cry for an itch from your breath
Did my sigh inside give way
From the look into those chocolate eyes
I knew it was time

Once so long ago my mind used to
Sing
My heart used to beat to your
Look
For I am broken

My wings do not work
My view has gone stale
This world around be
Broken
I knew it was time

Do not turn when I shout
Nor run when I scream
For life has moved on
Now
I've lived in your dream

My feathers are ruffled
My love has gone south
For all of my loving
My whisper ..your mouth
My love

Life
andy fardell Jun 2013
The deathly shadows waved as they flashed through
My headlights on their way to another steal
Another day ??
Another time maybe I thought ?
But turn me cold they did to form
Shivers so sharp my deadened eyes
Rasped against their brittleness
I hate the midnight call

This lack of rest was winning to my
Thoughts of a day all mine
Another call to the front
A sound ****** on my echoes around
The quiet room called home

For I am the collector and your soul
Is in my seek
My journey is to help you fight them
For they steal all your promises  
They eat at your want and relish at
Your need

Allow me to protect you till you move
Till the change is complete
Into your fade of this cold place  
Till you brave the land I know
Take my hand
Let me explain ....life

andy fardell Jun 2013
There are many places in many times that mean no more
Than the spoken words before me
Yet here it lays before my heart this mountains subtle Grey
My convictions  
My life
My dreams

These decisions in me now regretted
Looked back
Harmful for my soul
Madness in my mind
Tears in my torture for I have failed

In my youth I was young ,fresh and free
No hill be my wall
No mountain face to fall
For I was ready and my grass grew a path
No mortal could devour

Then life bestowed me life
The sun fell and the clouds became cold
Dark
Hungry
My convicted soul now blackened from the scars
Of broken dreams

I could feel its tremor as this rock before me
Fell
Gone its stability
Crumbled
And like the thoughts in my mind
The pebbles washed away
Into the sea of the broken wings
As I became the lost

Shadow
andy fardell Jun 2013
The deathly shadows casted a wave as they flashed through the burn of my headlights
On their way to another steal

Another day ?
Another time maybe?...
But turn me cold they did to form shivers
So sharp my deadened eyes rasped against their brittleness  
I hate the midnight call

This lack of rest was winning to my
Thought's of a day all mine
Yet on I must drive
For it is you that is in need
In need of these words
In need of my hands
For I am the healer and the shadows are waiting

They know all my work and despise my view
For I taketh the bad to bring light out from the dark
I am the healer
I am the one
The shadows are waiting

No payment to be crossed
No words from your lips
As my silence is your gift
So my work must continue  
The shadows are waiting

Dawn chorus wakes the morning light
To a relieve as I sigh  
The shadows are hiding and my work
is not done
Tears flow as I fall to my knees
Earth has taken its feed
Let the shadows wait

Holding Hands
andy fardell Jun 2013
Gravel under foot to the crunch that
echoed into my memories
For she had gone
Into the distance of a time not ready
for my soul

My time was still here
My garden still in bloom
Yet I knew she waited for my fall
Waiting for the chorus to call my day

Legs that carried me through the mire
Now felt tired and weak in the day
I could still smell her musk
Next to me
Teasing me to another tear
Ripping me to a thousand pieces
Life for another year

The garden still needs me and
I need it
But still I must walk
Cry through the pain
To the ends of this earth
So I can lay in peace
Holding hands

Gone
andy fardell Jun 2013
Five years went by in a cold wet
Summer
And
The sky bled a grey
A grey that leached through these
Veins

A stain left
Etched
Scratched
Borne
Carved on my heart

My look painted a story of many
Loves past
Before the dark of the grey
When life was good

Such paleness gave it all away
Lines said so much amongst the quiet
As the voices in my head played their
Song
Inside was warm

No sun to seek in clouds of steel
No flight to run
My autumn was ready and so was I
The colour of the new world was
waiting for my heart
To heal
But you were gone
Lost
Forever blue

King
andy fardell Jun 2013
My maddening whisper shall be heard
For I am the King
And the King am I
For the glory of power is all mine
And you must not deny my honour

Like the daily sun that blinds you
Then so shall I
For you are my children
You are my sheep
I am your Shepherd and so
I shall do reap
Reap as I sow
On the harvest of my mind
I beat you
Scorn you
Own you
As it is written I am your leader
I am your King

Such words can sound so hollow
Yet do we not follow our
Kings and Queens
Who are they to say they own us
Are we not of the same flesh and
blood
Do we not breath the same air
My cry
My sorrow
My despair

I was not born to follow into the path
On this bee led life
I was born to reach out
To love
To cry
I was born to live
To fight the truth
To show the the world    
Yet ......!!!!

The king is inside you
As he is inside me  
You are your own king
You are your own destiny
Long live the King !!!!!
 Long live the King !!!!!

Show me
andy fardell Jun 2013
These bones feel like the very old
Was my thought of some rest
From this mind
In need of some time
Time for me and the all of my

This mind is creaking sad
The shell is broken
My inner all seen crazed
In need of a dream
That saves me

Saves me from the down
Saves me from my heart
Saves me from the darker side
Save me please
Saved from my soul

A look into the night as stars
Show me
Bright is the path as cool is the dark
Stretching for the up
Leave the old behind
And I run
Run faster than the lights that follow
For clarity comes true
The smile shines

Eden
andy fardell May 2013
My heart is blinded by the youth of
Your eternity
Only your rose tinted glasses to tend
My view
And your garden looks so glorious
How could I not taste your divine
Such is the sweetest nectar
I dare not look away

A tempest touch from your soul
Enters my veins
Breathen's my blood to a beat in a
Thunderous cloud  
Such senses confuse me
Embrace me
Frighten me into the thought's of the
she devils lair
My mind is sacrificed for just a
Glimmer of your most wondrous
Love
Will you love me
As I love you
Will you hold me
As I wish you
Will you care me
Wash me down so that I can be your
Paradise found
Forever and ever in this garden
Our Eden

Subtle Madness
andy fardell May 2013
I knew my life was different
I knew my life was odd
In time I thought I'd join them
Be part ,you know
The club

But many years have passed
My brow
And still I'm on the edge
No word for my acceptance
No nod I'm in the mix
I'm still the one that they ignore
I drinks a lonely drink

The mirror says its not your fault
No help the way you are
A loss for them be lost in them
They don't know
Your the score

My chair remains my only fit
This cat my only chum
These wall my home
That echo flat
My silence rage the din

I made a club that I could join
A time where life looked fine
The only issue I could find
This place is in my head
It's in my head
Just in my head
My head
It's in my head .......
