think again
andy fardell Feb 2011
last night i thought my hell was alive and very well
parked in a place that really really smelled
but as I sat there eatin pies and peas
I lokked over me shoulder and changed my very grief

soilders sitting ...having just a brew
no doubting about what they must do
all kitted out in sand style so hostile grounds to be
we pray and wish a safe and happy return

So next time i feel so hard done
so grief and derg inside
i,ll stare out to the sunlight and veiw the other side
be safe my friends be safe
as we stand by your side

Madness
andy fardell Apr 2012
How do I face this madness
How do I face the fool
A heart so full of sadness
My heart goes out to you

Can you hear me crying insid e
Do tears fill up the swell
A timing of a sorrow
A failing of the rules  

No thought amongst the people
They see the happy you
No trouble from their faces
My looks a different view

Ghost
andy fardell Jan 2013
I'd seen that look before
As the ghost in the mirror
Smiled its haggard stare
I blinked and stepped away
From shock
Not blinded to the glare

So many nights of drinkers ale
To many spirits high
Had left my face a
Broken soul
My life a drunken fail
Yet I was me inside It all
A mess that's on the rails

This face that fell all from
It's grace
The beauty into beast
The wine of gods had done
As much
Sweet nectar has
Revealed  

My time to change had come about
The mirror scared my soul
The ghost that met my
Reddened eyes
Not welcome anymore
This road so long
The bends not straight
Let water be my wine
So one day ghost you fade away
One day
One day at a time

My Tree
andy fardell Apr 2015
The hanging tree is here
Peacefully wanting
Joy in its stance
Within a hidden sadness
It waits

In a place of tranquil its roots
Lay ready for madness
Loss
Tears

Beckoning my way
I'll fight it come May
To water it's moss
My tears
Failing heart

Be when I am old
Worn past tired
Rot in my hell
I'll visit this place
Go say my last grace

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

Another Year
andy fardell Mar 2013
The day started with a whisper to my ear
I knew you wouldn fuss
That day
Time of year
My thoughts of you smiling
Looking my way
This world has one missing
I miss you today

I looked in the mirror and saw in your eyes
The son of a father
Sweet tears from his sighs
The time had not healed
The sea that I shed
I long for your voice
Not that
Found in my head

The date started early
My time for reflect
Another year missing
My heart torn and dead

The smell of the coffee brought smoke from my thought's
This need of your fixer
From a bygone of tucked in dreams
Such memories hold me
Those past in my hand
The sadness evolves me
This day be the dammed

Time made the move that held me and cried
Reflections of mirror's
That look in my eye
Hours of laughter now echo's rebound
From times in our fighting I'd beat you a cry
Stop cos its hurting
My laughter our high

Violins to trumpets filled ears dipped in wax
Remember the music
A classic be had
I never quite got it
Yet now understand
You passion not doubted
Beethoven commands
Deep breaths steal my wanting

Dusk brings me home to a family of three
My son to be proud of
A wife next to me
They all miss your knowledge
Your kindness
Your love
Without you
There'd be ghosts in my love

We thank you my father
I'm proud your my dad
Happy Birthday

Mother Earth
andy fardell Dec 2012
Fields turned yellow like the sun
from the old rain
That felled like paint on a canvas

Red Kites hovered a dinner
In their grasp
Amongst the golden wash of life

Trails of steel from above left
lines of snow
Into the clear bluest sky

As the silence of nature bleated volumes
The earth felt a good day from a
mad mad world

The cool wind blew gently over to
a wave without a sea
As my eyes shone to the wonders
of earths senses before me and it felt good

Hills from a distance showed
a landscape
Built on years of time from a land
riddled in blood
In a yesteryear that we chose
to forget

Yet in the center of the field stood a lonely
old tree
Its life still strong from Gnarls of time etched in
pain for all to see and feel

New buds bore a life to prove a life to live
And this was a time to live
A time to grow
A time to give

To give love to this Earth
Our Earth
Our Mother Earth

The open window
andy fardell Jun 2011
The open window

The open window showed no life inside yet a shadow fell
stooped over a desk the lonely man wallowed in the paperwork ..
that bestowed him for many years yet why have this honour
an honour of chains that gave many links to the time served
he looked as he always did into the outside world from once he did live
a life so far away ..a family lost in the grind of the day that was his dream
now faded away

The open window showed a life that never lived ..a chance once missed
a dream one wish.. yet paperwork came with money.. yet no fame..
eyes looked out yet no light shone ..all gleam gone a future done
the man shook his head as he remembered good time remembered the best
stooped over his desk as ink dried pushing his pen
a picture nearby that nearly brought a smile as he reached to touch
a ring that shatterd the silence in him another call another meeting
The open window closed as the cold wind washed inside .they say
fortune favours the brave

Wondrous Light
andy fardell Dec 2012
Wondrous light

This wondrous light shone us bright
amongst the stars ahead be right
over the hill for all its glory
oh wondrous light

beating bright a beacons night
lighting us the way
a path to follow
a place to see

Oh wondrous light that shone us bright
a sign for all yet few did plight
a joyous day for all to follow
a day for praise ..love and sorrow

shine-th light in all your glory
live enriched for all
beating heart now on this earth
crying out ..

Oh wondrous light that shone us bright
a new way on this world
this time for past and new beginnings
a glory to this world

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

snorring in me right ear
snorring in me left

dug her in the rib

Can hear it even down here
sounds like she,s drilling from above

Silence i so want

come lets fly
andy fardell Dec 2011
I feel like flying ..flying high
way up yonder up into night
out in the stars shining so bright
flying high ..high as a kite

join me in motion as we could fly up high
fly to the moon and back in the deep of night
see the earth in glorious light twinkling in darkness
in the mist of night

come fly ...come fly with me now
up into sky ..free from chains
left all behind
come lets fly together lets see a whole new life
come lets fly
come lets fly

The Window
andy fardell Jun 2015
A fiery sky on a day not started,where life ,death and promises are Destined to become history.
Shadows unformed from a promise to hide
See's my reflected smile from the clouded window
And only then do I see the dirt and grime of my inner existence
It is a comfort blanket that has kept me warm
Hid me
Protected me
Smothered me
Till all is bared
From the window I see

plummy whiff
andy fardell Oct 2011
as i start to feel my lids close down on another day of life
I think of all the changes made on peoples passeth time
its said we change in many ways and we were all as one
yet why do we fight it out and do not get along

they fight for oil ..its liquid gold and care not of the others
shame we cant just live in peace and dance around our brothers
they care not of the people and care no less for us
for somel we are working tool that see a fit for purpose

live as one and share the wealth and we would all be rich
but no the money aint for us cos we dont plummy whiff
maybe one day things could change..now that would be a sight
when we can live as equals and fight for equal rights

coffee
andy fardell Mar 2011
I didnt really need it but thought it was so nice
a lovely cup of coffee and nothing for a price
it made me think of kindness that people sometimes do
instead of charging bucket loads
and robbing me or you

yesterday was different the parking man did lie
he robbed me all of 50 quid yet told me all was right
i wont forget his lying eyes and hope he trips and falls
that coffee gave this morning never taste so good

Mist roll over

silence screaming feel the fear
check the bolt ..be its near
mist rolls over as we wait
feel its presence
aim with care

metal shine as dawn delights
fields of golden
faced nearly be red
men ready do.. as battle to come
mist roll over ..a life nearly done

daylight comes .. fire rains above
ready for the colour said
fighters end.. a shout that failed
darkness come yet daylight shined
mist roll over

Metal Monsters
andy fardell Jun 2012
My stare into the night did hold me ...I was fright
Why did I look again
How did I know
What made me see
The outcome not feared until junction came near

Why did I look again
How did I see
The monsters of metal was aiming at me
Twice they nearly got me in
biff and bash ..could see their grin

They almost changed my life
They almost ended breath
My life just in a flash gone by
The metal monsters grin

A time to think your life again
a time to ask oh why
a time to kiss the ones you love
and look them in the eye

Fallen
andy fardell Sep 2016
As the sun dusts my skin
For it is I that waited
Hoping

Comes the wetness from tides
Fallen are the tears
Wishing

In no effort in given
All wasted in time
Again

I lay in the broken
Heart torn apart
Forever
andy fardell May 2011
The times that are a changing
change right in front of me
time to climb the olive tree ..time to set me free
times they are a changing..time to turn the key

age the soul but leave my mind
keep me young and fill my eyes
show me beauty show me love
live a life as i could

times they are a changing
changing life in time
time to live the life of good ..time to crack the mould
times they are for changing ..live your life be free

Fallen Away
andy fardell May 2013
Cotton wool head from a haze
Left last night
No memory guilt of a play I performed
Or the wake from my storm
Call this the fun  

From hands caked in dirt from a
Dastardly way
Oh my head is all soft yet loud as the day
I ain't laughing

The stars from the night still go spin round
My head
Played goggle the glasses    
**** tortuous grape

I fell from the edge of a life
Not my will
My day should be better
I've taken the pill

Still only a whisper sounds loud as
The gods
My long for another
Go fetch me some grog

The fog once returns
Old lines reappear
As taste from the happy tree
Brings smile to my cheer

So all can be forgotten
All evil away
No worries on everything
Just beer for the day
No trip into guilty
No promise to make  
A life that was living
All fallen away

dread
andy fardell Feb 2011
My hands doth hold the key to time
yet cannot stop the grains that fly
waiting ,hoping wanting more
feeling life ... so insecure

changed my life and changed my ways yet still out searchin
better days

dreaded is that first day back and so the dreaded time attacks
tomoro comes another day and so the dreaded falls away
Time to love what we so have and throw the dreaded
in the sack

Mr nobody
andy fardell Aug 2012
The nobody man glanced at me as he asked the question that had been said a thousand times that day
With his hair swept back in trying to regain some of his youth ,his crumpled shirt old and stained from his over washing over wearing and over ironing ,the  collars turned at the edges looking like the wings on plane about to depart.He wore a thin black tie that was so nondescript that made you wonder why bother ...this was the nobody man .
Nobody man was born somebody someday yet today he was nobody leading his nobody life in his nobody hut asking the same questions he'd asked for the last 20 years,nobody was somebody someday.
Did he have a wife, kids a life  ? Did anyone care? as long as Mr nobody said to everybody the same question that had been said a thousand times that day.
I'm glad I met Mr nobody today as his question meant that I was somebody to someone today,just for that briefest of moments I became somebody instead of nobody.
So when you see Mr nobody just remember that someday you will be asking the question
Just like Mr nobody  !!!

Peace
andy fardell Mar 2013
This day I seek peace yet I find the souls
That surround me
Seek no such light
Their fight is of a purity that no one can touch
This need of a  purpose
A need for a life

This day let the good in from the dark
The earth lowered to the sight of the sun
To bring life into hope
Troubles long gone to a place
That lifeless lones need no introduction

Those souls of hell
Had  a place of warmth that
Chilled you to your bones
Thoughts of fighting ingested
Through breaths of fire
Fed from the deep deep
Pits of tartarus

Besides,here we are and I am happy
And this happiness needs no introduction
My peace is made
Those souls around me are empty of war
Yet full of words that have no voice  
One day they will see the light
Be their anger
Paper torn

The Laughing Sun
andy fardell Oct 2015
Effects of an early rise spawned my view
Eager in my need for knowledge
I sprung
Yet worry formed a brow
Concern upon concern quivered me
I had been here before

For then it was to late
Too harsh
All sad
A gone to far
Only tears
For my memory

This time a smile
Be healed
Sorted
Complete
For many moons to pass
Upon the laughing sun

Pain
andy fardell Feb 17
Your death isn't painfull
No linger to ones hurt
It comes and leaves you senseless
It's really awfully cute

See its nothing more than toothache
A hindrance of mankind
Like dead leg of your body
Screaming comes to mind

Let pain be left to others
A will you'll never hear
Missing smiles and laugh a lots
It's gone all nots to fear

So face your fears in waters breath
There's nothing to be scared
The pain is all for others mind
Unless you sing out loud

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

Poems of Remembrance
andy fardell Nov 2014
War is defined as a form of political violence however I rather hate to like the following quote by this Prussian military general in 1832

"War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will."

We vote in our leaders to refrain from such,yet allow them to use us as pawns in their world.I will be remembering and thanking all those who have, will and do give up their life's so that I can at least be free to make such.

Lonely
andy fardell Feb 2013
Body aches a thousand ways
Those missed sweet whispers
From your lips
Lost to the scent of heaven

Your love leaves my skin
This hand reaching air
For your touch
Only a cold life forwards
Do I dwell

Come back before
My world
Don't leave my love
Behind
Come back into warm
The cold is biting


Sighs to the rain of tears from my face
These windows to my soul
Lakes of emptiness
Full of regret
Come back to once our life

Come back
My love
Come back
I'll change
Come back
To us
It's cold outside

No words do enter to silenced thoughts
So loud this heartbeat
Now dead
My cause
It's lost
It's over
The fool I am
My body weeps  
I'm lonely am
andy fardell Oct 2014
Over the water I fly
So be it
Through these wings I see them
Boys to become men
Men to fall old
Eyes to close for a countries fight
Never to return
Lest we forget

Billowing stacks of fumes fill me
Thousands upon thousands of mini islands
Floating away from their mothers womb
Dunkirk's morning is ready
Sand from the beaches in a foreign
Glistening
Waiting
Offering a hope that there is a tomorrow
Lest we forget

In the after much blood has been spilt
To many decisions have faltered
Yet come my demise from the great war
My purpose came
I know what these wings hold
I know how they fly
I know how they care
For the next
Lest we forget

Now as age creeps upon me I look back
I see the failed,fighting staled to a shortened breath
Redden eyes become my flooded floor
A storm rages within me for the loss of our past
For the waste of lost future
For the pain that I've seen
For the wars that I've witnessed
For the love of pure greed

LEST WE FORGET

A wasted fate in Costa lotta
Proud to be

wine and pasta filled my soul
head throbbing from nectars gold

Bitter sweet
Shiny bright

Eaten at your peril
A paradise delight

The smell was there
Old
Wasted
Dead people
Yet in they walked
Crawled
Needed

The ticket to life
Beyond doctors door
The calm of those words
A cure for the all

A look at each other
The waiting that call
They know all your wanting
Drug takers us all

A limp from a stranger
All left in their walk
The circles surround him
The death knoll do quell

So here I do join them
I wonder my fate
A drug full of wonder
My illness belate

twas a night of nights that stole the show
that fell before our feet
the evening did so call us in ...
draw us neatly to the heat
that gold... that amber gold of hate
consuming so it did..beaten no retreat.

eaten from the inside ..not knowing what was wot
the ale did its job
what more that we forgot
I nearly..nearly lost him
me pal me bestest mate

so close to total hate i was
a fear ... knowing not to hurt
I left in hope ...a mist to fall away i wished
its redness so revealing
my love and so my hate

So waking in the morning ..
my mind a little clear
a fool he so did see or was it the beer
I laugh and joke our foolish thoughts
brothers to the end
it takes allsorts

Washes it's bleakened wishes over my mind

wings flapped in air not seen
as beauty desended upon the earth
green and white all golden in light
the butterfly flew

a gasp of breath did i request
as flight did show ...some god we know

a sign of life that had me cry

butter ...fly into the light
as I hang sight such wondeous delight
delicate wonders in such a world of hate and pain
less we learn to love this world

I hunger for your wit as my eyes do desire thee
See the answer to the question lays heavy on my soul
This number in my head lays the key to all around me
Praise my heart will it open
Praise my solemn head will win

The world is awaiting for the kiss of my freedom
Baited to the breath of the spiders claw
Ask me the question and I''ll hide all my lies
Give me the way to your door, let me taste your heart
For Urim and Thummim protect all that wait

Let me in to your circle for I have the question
Hear my whisper to those ears, I have the answer
Look into my eyes see the centre of the world
See the centre of the universe
Play your music to my ears
Read the the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything

For "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"
Listen very carefully read my lips

The road left long and grey,bordom in a way
seemed so straight so full of sorrow
no feeling,no love nor beauty given
a road of death  ..devil driven

The sun appeared a smile did grow
my heart skipped a warmin glow
the glare shown bright a gazzling sight
warming skin a sun so bright

driving home to get there soon
fight the grey the so called gloom
streams of lights before me glow
darkness stretching through the ticking time into the night
soon be home

The sky shone of a morning song
Colour's that showed earths delight
Red and yellows be
Sky's inferno
Born a new day of delight

Fresh is the air that waits
for all to breath
Cleansed by darkness
Fazed by dreams
Dreamy eyes awaken
to unknown

Woken from a deepened lull
Woken into mornings glow
Woken from a place
called home

Sky so wanted
So i could see
A mornings glow
A love complete

Look up high as stars
do fade
See inferno
See the blaze
bow to the birth  
A day on planet earth

We passed through the years
In laughter and tears
Changed my life for the good
Like I knew you would

pray that light does shine on through ..the shadows follow wanting you

Feel ther coldness and so cold ..darkness has its brand new hold
wrapping slowly round it goes ..taking light and turnin old

leave the light on so I say and shadows oh just go away

Your return still awaits me
The room feels so cold
A cold thats missing your love

It's heat now a distant faded light
Still waiting your footsteps
Still wanting you
Wanting love

A hint still tingles my senses
Perfumed sheets brings me your vision
Brings me alive
Come to my lair
My love
Come back

The years have gone and the candle burnt
Frozen out in a wanted room
I still look for your love
Amongst the faded pictures
Amongst the faded lives
I remember our time

Long long ago
andy fardell Mar 2013
Eyes come closed to the darkness
Mind open to the thoughts of another age
Long long ago when the grass was green
And the hills smiled full
Full of golden

This was the time
This was the place
Where my pa held my hand
Where we played
Where we danced

Long long ago
When the trees held the fruit
Was the time for the present
And life for the full
Where we chased and laughed
Fell into the grass
Where he held my hand

Pillow wet from a blurred view
His hand no longer touching
As I remember today
Bring me the past
So I may live this way
Long long ago was a place I remember
Memories of the best of days
Where
My pa held my hand

frosty skies show a dazzle in the darkness
freshly made air strikes as you breath
yet billows from nostrils like a madening bull
grass crunches under foot
a sound so familiar yet not understood

music of life surounding you
heartbeat of the world inside your soul
yet not in the blood
first steps on this earth
a wonderous love
a wonderous love

The Best Is Yet To Come
andy fardell Nov 2014
The rasp in my throat reflected my mind
Sore
Vague
Useless
Just another normal day
Of words
Of silence
That scream within

So this is my life
This is my quiet
My turning of the eye
Dismissed
Failed
Tortured
And
Silenced

There's worse ships at sea
I hear
More hunger than
I wish
More anger than
I want
Less caring
All this wrong  

So I'm needed
And so are you
We need to show the world we're
Right
We need to show they're
Wrong
Let's raise our voices
All be heard
The best is yet to come

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
