Her
Robert Andrews Aug 2020
Her
How can I tell you
Of this beauty
For which
There are no words?

My heart trembles
When my blue eyes
Touch her
And I am stricken dumb

Covid Winter
Robert Andrews Sep 2020
The last leaves linger
Dried dead and brown
Limbs branches
Twigs and fingers
A cold and snowy ground

A frozen rat
A half dead cat
A dumpster nine lives old
And everyone around is dying
Of the
Not so common cold

Earth
Robert Andrews Jul 2020
Ozone no zone
Meerly threads
Scraped across
My balding head
The trees are gone
And it won't be long
Before I'm finally dead

My waters are no longer clean
Oil spills and plastic beads
Asphalt coats my outer face
I'm artificial lit  in space

My air is bad
And I guess I'm glad
I can not smell or taste
With nothing left
I wait for death
By the hell bound
Human race

Now
Robert Andrews Jul 2020
Now
Yesterdays sorrow
Todays progression
Tomorrow I may find contentment

Living in the present moment
Yesterday is not important
As I find my way into tomorrow
Happily today

My Love
Robert Andrews Aug 2020
I love to feel
The morning sun
Full moon
Shadows
In the night
I Love to dance
Before the Lord
Simple sweet
Deliģht
Will You Love me
All night long
Love me in the day
Love me Love is
Everything
Love me when I pray.
Love me once
And Love me twice
Then Love me once again
I will Love You
With all my heart
Until the very end

Rumors
Robert Andrews Aug 2020
I heard this
Did you hear that?
Who cares if it's not true
So much speculation
About who is fuçking who

Busybodies know it alls
And those that like to talk
Only want to know
Who's riding on my ****

So here I sit
Not getting it
For neigh on seven years
But still it seems
In all their dreams
I'm never by myself

I'm going out again today
And won't be suprised to learn
All of them now think I'm gay
Because they didn't get a turn

Electric Blue

Purple pink electric blue
Up her arm are bird tattoos
All of them are taking flight
I really want to spend the night
With you
Purple pink
My electric blue

No Flowers to Tend
Robert Andrews Aug 2020
I have no children
The last of my line
Perhaps that's why
I write my rhymes
So some wee bit
Of who I am
Might come out
In my lines
Do you understand
My plight
When I reach my end
There will only be
My lines
No flowers at my plot
To tend

Oh My God
I want to hòld you
Tightly in my arms
When the night
Is cold and long
Fall to all your charms

Impatiently I await
Your inevitable return
To feel the anguish of my lust
And tortured
Slowly burn

As brief
As our moments are
I savor every breath
You hold my eyes
Until I die
I Love
Every single death

You are my Succubus
My soul is yours
to steal
My heart is yours
to rip apart
So at least I know
It's real

There are good things
And there are bad things
Everybody knows
It's really only poetry
That's what the Rooster crows

Wolf will find the feeling
While Roosty does the dealing
Words the wise old owl
Has supplied

Nothing is as it seems
All of it's a dream
So don't be spreading rumors
Made of lies

A man can have his dream
In the pages of a rhyme
When the inspiration hits him
To write another line

Roosty Rooster Wolf and Owl
Are the poets in my mind
And nothing in the manor
Ever turns out fine
Still the lines keep coming out
And everyone's lost their mind.
To much drama

Ray
Robert Andrews Sep 2020
Ray
...is only happy
When there's money
At his door
A paranoid schizophrenic
Who runs our
little store
He dreams
He'll hit it
Big one day
On the tickets
That he scratches
But
There's a little more
About the girl next door
And the ***** plot
He hatches

He got a small inheritance
Now most of it
Is gone
And when the final penny
Is finally spent
He'll be a loud
Exploding bomb
And what about
That woman?
And what about
His wife?
No more tickets
No more dreams
Just an empty life

Who will be hit
By shrapnel
And what will become
Of him
I cannot say
I only pray
The Lord
Takes care of him...

In earnest desperation
I grasp for falling stars
To catch the fading sunlight in her hair

With deepest concentration
I touch a ray of light
Dancing on her skin

I want my kisses there

If those pants
Were any tighter
The clinging
Of her shirt
I just want to
I think you know
Be my very worst
And if at my best
I pass the test
Regress
Then a beast
Please recall
The mighty fall
My love and lust
Released

Love songs
Robert Andrews Jul 2020
There are love songs only my heart knows
It sings them just for you
And maybe they're not worth the paper
And they're just my mixed up tunes
But I guess that's love

I dance circles in my heart
These words on paper I impart
Silly little lines and mixed up tunes
But I guess that's the way of love
Because I can fly
I can fly
Oooh oh
I can fly

I touched the top of the sky last night
Found the moon
And I wrote this happy tune
He sang along
Ya! It's gotta be love!
Because I can fly
I can fly
Oooh oh
I can fly

I thought I'd tell her yesterday
But the words and the music got in the way
Stayed up til the night was day
It's gotta be love

I dance circles in my heart
These words on paper I impart
Silly little lines and mixed up tunes
But I guess that's the way of love

I touched the top of the sky today
Found the sun
And I sang my happy song
He sang along
Yaa
It's gotta be love

You are my secret
When I'm sitting by myself
I fantasize about a life
With You
You and nothing else
Night and day I will lay
Kisses on Your skin
So I know that You are there
And not a dream within
And so I dream
And dream aspire
To feel the heat of Your desire
But this is just my secret
When I'm sitting by myself
Dreaming of those kisses
That I have never felt

I'm the big banana
In a bunch of rotten ones
The horsefly ****
At a circus of tics
Where insanity is fun

And I will dance on the ragged edge
With a db and some wine
Thick as thieves
With a capital T
Where everything is fine

In the middling
Of the afternoon
You can find us here
Congregating in the backyard
With a plate of rice and beans

And everything is wonderful
As long as I can write
While everyone runs rampant
In the middle of the night

Nothing here is ever normal
And that suits me just fine
It keeps me on the ragged edge
And helps me write my rhyme

Now I will
Drink my fill
And thank God for the wine
Everyone is eating
And the silence is divine

The Finer Things
Robert Andrews Jul 2020
Ran down her road
It was dreary
The sky was dark
The clouds were eerie
Went past her house
Saw the bedroom window shining
Silouettes of the finer things
Hurried past
The rain was pounding down
Heard her voice and
I had to turn around
That's when I saw her standing there
In nothing more than her underwear
What's a man supposed to do

She let me stay til I was dry
Of everything I had inside
That was just before the dawn
Put on my clothes and I was gone
What's a man supposed to do

Thankyou for the cup of tea
And everything between
The sheets the floor the living room
Oh how she made me ....scream
What's a man supposed to do

Now I go down her street every chance I can
But she's always with another man
Once was great that much is true
But what's a man supposed to do
If I get caught again in the pouring rain
And circumstances are the same
I'll stay the night and play her games
But I won't leave til I know her name
What's a man supposed to do

Thankyou for the cup of tea
And everything between
The sheets the floor the living room
Oh how she made me
....scream
What's a man supposed to do!

I Hope it Never Rains
Robert Andrews Jul 2020
From the first time that I saw her
I wanted just to hold her
Sway to the music
And
Savour the moment
I
Danced in her circles
Fell
Softly in her eyes
I wish that she would notice
How she burns me up inside
I can't sleep at night
She fills up my head
I toss and I turn
And I slowly get burned
Wanting her fire in my bed
Sparks and embers
Coals and flames
An inferno when I hear her name
Dance
Sway to the music
It'll never be the same
Watch the fire growing higher
And I hope it never rains
So close together
So far apart
If I kissed her once
What would that start
Start the fire
I've encased her smile
In a million gems
Followed her curves
Her turns and her bends
Danced with her
Then danced again
Stoke the fire
I wake up in the morning
After smouldering through the night
I hope that we can get together
And set the town alight
Sparks and embers
Coals and flames
An inferno when I hear her name
Dance
Sway to the music
It'll never be the same
Watch the fire growing higher
And I hope it never rains
I hope it never rains

See
Robert Andrews Aug 2020
See
Why can't I see
Into your eyes
What's hiding there
In the basement
Of your soul?

Become the light!
The secret rats
And crawly things
Will have no hold

This is your life
Behold
All of it illusion
Save for Love

Love
And your
Immortal soul

I remember dreaming
Of your skin
Sweet and silky wet
Dancing in a thunderstorm
As close as we could get
We wore nothing
In that rain
Softly in your neck I sang
And Heaven fell
Hard upon my head

Lazily Loving
Robert Andrews Jul 2020
If I were you
And you were me
We would climb
the tallest tree
Just to touch
the passing clouds
And say I love you
Right out loud

Sing me a song
Where nothing
is wrong
From the start
to the end of the day
So many I love yous
And passionate kisses
That will never
pass away

If you were I
And I were you
That's exactly
what we'd do
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

That's the Dream
Robert Andrews Jul 2020
We drove down the sunny coastline in our yellow Ferrari Spyder with the top down.
Her long blonde hair tried to get away from the scarf she tied to keep it tame. We laughed when it finally flew away.
She looked at me from under crazy tresses. I could tell that she loved me and I loved her just the same.
I slowed the engine til it purred rounding all the subtle curves searching for the perfect place to kiss. I found it where the oceans endless waves met the shore and that's the dream from Fridays sweet demise to Mondays misery forever Sunday coastline driving searching for the perfect place to kiss.

Faith
Robert Andrews Aug 2020
When my eyes were bright and pinpoint sharp
I threaded needles in the dark
I could walk into the eye
Never touching either side
Now I am an older man
Careful threading of the eye
I don't believe the needle shrank
Just my belief in the needles size

Take the time to breathe
Robert Andrews Aug 2020
Motion sickness in your head
Memories all have fled
Not quite living
With misgivings
Say a prayer for all the dead

Lock the window
Bolt the door
So they can't hurt you anymore
Take a moment for yourself and breathe
Escape to fantasy

Take your world off rewind
And play a peaceful tune
Advance into the day ahead
Go shooting for the moon

Take your everything
And all that is
To dream in overtime
Make a million dollars
And write another line
But please
Take the time and breathe

— The End —
