In the Fields
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
In the fields
Where the wild life play
That is where I spend my days



Fixing Fence
Hauling hay
Cutting wood



Feeding the animals upon the farm
Cows in the pasture
Goats in the barn



Alpaca roam eating grass
It is so nice to have days like this last

Catching butterfly
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
You see the butterfly
Upon the flower
You sneak up very very quietly
You cup your hands around it

You hold the butterfly
You marvel at it
You wonder about
What makes it fly

You hold its for a moment
Then release it back into the sky

Dancing Among The Stars
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
They dance in the heavens above
Locked forever in eternal love
Living in that land so far
Dancing among the stars

Their life is no more
upon these mortal shores
locked arm in arm
In that land so far
Dancing among the stars

Locked forever in an eternal embrace
They whirl and they twirl
With so much grace
Off away in that land so far
Dancing among the stars

Be myself
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
People tell me to be myself.  But when I do.  I am told to
Grow up
Shut up
Straighten up
Sit down
Go away
And many other phrases I will not repeat

So which is it.  Be myself.  Or be like everyone else

I say be myself
I am not a mindless drone
I am not a programed robot

I will be myself
I will until the day I die
Anyone who doesn't like me the way I am
Can kiss my ***

Sunset
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
The sun sets over the ocean
Blue
Red
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Like the paintbrush stroke from a master painter

The sun sets over the ocean
You can almost hear the hiss
As the sun "touches" the water
Upon the horizon

The sun sets over the ocean
The stars come out
The moon rises
Night has fallen

Fishing
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
On the lake shore
Rod in my hand
Ready to catch that big one

I know that monster is in here
I've almost caught him before
But he always got away

Not this time
I have a plan

It may be crafty
It may be sneaky
But this time
I will prove I am there fisherman

I know he is hiding
Taking his time
Before the final confrontation
But if I am patient
If I stand firm
I will have him in the end

First Date
Tony Anderson May 2019
It’s my first date
What should I wear
It’s my first date
Should I wash my hair

I am so nervous a complete wreck
I haven’t even showered yet
I asked her out
She said yes
This first date there’s so much stress
Just be myself
That’s the key
What if she doesn’t like me
I will try my very best
Should I wear a vest

It’s my first date
Times ran out
It’s my first date
There she is now

Stop

Stop doubting yourself
Start believing in yourself
Stop holding yourself back

For there is no telling
To what great heights you can achieve
If you never try

Toast to life
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Raise your glasses
A toast to life we make
Friends
Party
Laugh
Joke

Life has highs and lows
Ups and downs
A rollercoaster ride of emotions

Toast to life
Joy and fun
Life is a journey
Life is a path
Travel and learn
All that you can

A toast to life
Raise your glasses high
We only live once
Enjoy the ride

Untitled
Tony Anderson May 2019
He comes from the depths of the Earth
He is not quite dead
Yet
He is not quite alive either

He feeds upon the souls
Of those who dare stand in his way
He is nobody's friend
A loner
They called him the wander, the stalker, the claimer of lives.  Among many others

He is a mystery
Showing up from time to time
You never know when
You never know where
So always be on your guard
For if he ever catches you
Your as good as dead

Nobody has seen him
But everyone has heard about him
And those who claim they have seen him
Are locked away in mental hospitals
For it is said
That just the sight of him
Will drive you mad

Don't Play With Me
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
Woman, don’t taunt me
Don’t play games with my mind
Yeah, I admit your body looks fine
What’s going on up top, that’s what I want to know
Don’t play with my emotions, my heart, my soul

Don’t flash me your wares
Yeah, great pair
Those I could well do without
What, are we gonna pout
Because I’m not impressed by the size of your *******
I don’t want a woman who looks like great art
If she doesn’t show me she is at least a little smart

A good looking woman will talk about herself all day
That kind of talk just pushes me away
Or they talk about things that don’t matter
Man, I can do without all that chatter
Looks are good
Looks are fine
I however want to know your mind

Let me know your feelings and your thoughts
Yeah, personality first that’s what I was taught
A good looking woman likes to strut
So do those call-girls on the street and they’re just *****
One night stand, no I want more
So do me a favor stop coming at me like a *****

Honey the last thing I will say
Babe if you don’t show me some class
You can pucker up, bend over, and KISS MY ***
Because honey I’m out of here

Loving and caring

Hate love relationship

I love you
Though you despise me
You throw your hatred
I don't care
I will show kindness
I will show compassion

I love you
Though you call me names
Though you
Hit me
Kick me
Shove me in the mud
I will take it all in stride
I will not hide my true self

You hate

Every step forward
Closer to my goal
Every step forward
Onward I go

I know it's a long journey
To reach that which I seak
Pushing me to the limits
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally
I know there will be scars
Both seen and unseen
But if I give up now
I will never reach my dream

Every step forward
Though the path
Grows rough at times
Though if I keep my focus
All will end up fine

Come Into the Jungle
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
Come Into the jungle
Get in touch
With the savage beast within
Come Into the Jungle
That primal voice
Is calling again

You've held it in to long
Now you feel it coming strong
Freedom
That savage yearning
That has been there
Since the dawn of time

The heat
The sweat
The pure joy of being one with
Yourself
Nature
Creation
The whole universe

You hear it calling
It howls at the full moon
The flames of the fire
The wild dancing
To the rythum and beating
Of your heart
The savage calling
Flows through your blood stream

Come Into the jungle
Get in touch with the beast within
Come Into the jungle
That primal voice is calling again

Sometimes
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Sometimes you have to walk the edge
Sometimes you must stand on the brink
Before you can start to rebuild your life.

Sometimes you have to lose everything
Sometimes you must start from the very beginning
Before you can recover
Before you can restart

Life is a rollercoaster with many ups and downs
You need to roll with the tide when it comes
Never give in
Never give up
No matter what life throws your way

When I Asked You To Dance
Tony Anderson May 2019
When I asked you if you wanted to dance I gave you no reason to pick a fight
I gave you no reason for your attitude

When I asked you to dance
I thought it would
Be nice to share a moment
As we glide across the floor

Instead you accused me of things in your heart you know I would never do
Instead you yelled and screamed at me
For crimes I never committed against you or any other woman

When I asked you to dance
I wanted to waltz over the floor
With you

Instead I have been given nothing but hate
I don't understand this
I'm leaving
Find yourself another date

Silent Whispers
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Silently I whisper your name
As the tears fall upon my face
You don't know how much I hurt
My heart feels it's gonna burst



Crying tears wash my soul
For the love with depths untold
You were my grace, my one true love
An Angel sent from above



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores



When you left with him upon that day
You tear my heart away
Great sadness overtook my life
Cutting me like a knife



Now I live each day in Hell
The home in which we had both dwelled
Now alone I am
Just waiting for the end



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores

Own path
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
If the world knocks you down
Get back up off the ground
Don't let the world hold you
Tell it you're following a different plan

Strike your own path
Find your own way
Do not listen to what the world say

You are not a sheep
So don't follow like one
Blindly going wherever you're told

You are you and there is only one
Live life on your terms

Her passion for life

Your life was taken away
It broke my heart

Cancer stole you from me
Life is such a ***** sometimes

Your strong spirit
Your drive to excell
Your soul
Just beautiful you

Childhood Memories
Tony Anderson May 2019
Riding on the tailgate of the pickup dragging a stick cuting grooves in the dirt road
Jumping off the tailgate running behind the truck then jumping back on
Walking through the dry creek bed looking for rocks
Splashing in mud puddels
Finding turtles under haybails
Just walking through the field exploring


I could go on and on
Childhood in the country
Is the best childhood to have

Religious Robot
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
A religious robot I am not
A mindless
Soulless
Emotionless
Robot I am not
I have a voice and I will speak
God gave me that voice

I may be young
But through God I am strong
When I think things are not fight
I will voice my opinion

You can tell me to sit down and shut up
You can say I'm to young
Therefore I have no idea what I'm talking about

Go ahead and mock me
See where it gets you
Tony Anderson May 2019
I'm not going to take it anymore
You have pushed me to my limit
I am ready to explode
With a mighty force
That is awesome to behold

I'm not going to take it anymore
You've called me names
Laughed in my face
You push me down
You've spit in my face

My fists are tight
My anger high
I will start throwing blows
As soon as you come into sight

Blood will fly
Blood will be spilt
As I beat you and beat you
And never quit

I will give you a taste
Of the rage that's been brewing
I will give you a taste
Then keep feeding

My fists will come fast
My fists will hit hard
Let's see you laugh
When you're cover in scars

The Machine
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
The machine will find you
Once it does
It will destroy you
Or tag you
To be part of the system
Another
Mindless
Emotionless
Drone
Just going through the motions
Following orders
Never caring
Never loving
Never an individual again

The machine owns you
You have no choice
From the day you are born
The Machine owns you
The machine tags you
You become a part of the system

Still there is hope
There are those who resist
Though they know it is a lost battle
They fight anyway
For there is always hope
To keep the individual person alive
To sound a voice
To release a cry
To let the machine know

You See
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You see my smile but you fail to see my pain
you see my sunshine, but ignore the rain
my tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul



you hear me laugh, but fail to see me cry
you see my dance, but fail to see me fall
you see the mountains I have climbed, but fail to see the trenches I've had to crawl through
my tears flow like a waterfall
you only see my life, but fail to see I'm dying inside
tears flow
heart smokes from the fire burning my soul



You see my accomplishments, but never how hard it took me to get thre
you see the goals I've achieved, but never my failures
you see the shine in my eyes, but never the dark clouds over head
my tears flow, I am drowning
you see me, but never truly see me
tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul

I Am Broken
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
I am broken
No, shattered
Like a mirror
Splintered into a million pieces

I call out of loneliness
The world turns away
leaving me in the cold darkness
Shattering any hopes and dreams
Of ever fitting in

I do not wish to be a loner
I want to have friends
I want to belong
The world however destroys those dreams
Time and again

Splintered like a mirror
Millions of me
Sad
Lonely
Depressed
Why go they not let me in
Why do the shut me out
My emotions
My thoughts
Shattered into millions of pieces
Looking for one gentle heart
To take this broken soul
To make it whole

I treasure your love
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
I treasure your love
Every single day we are together
Is magic
You cast a spell upon my heart
Now I am yours forever

I treasure your love
Like a gem hidden deep within the Earth
It took me a while to find it
But now that I have
I shall never let it go

Your love is worth more than
Gold
Rubies
Diamonds
Your love is worth more than
All the money in the world

Your love means so much to me
I would be lost without it
Your love is
My stronghold
My shelter
It protects me from life's raging storms

One Beat
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
One beat
One song
One voice
One

God the beat
Always was
Always is
Always will be
Before the beginning of time
It was so

The Holy Spirit the song
Joins the beat to give it
Movement and action
It's drives the beat onward
So it doesn't stand still
Or fall on dead ears

Jesus is the voice
Joining the other two
It gives
Words
Power
Grace
The voice calls in the wild
It calls for all who will listen

This is the very core of existence
We exist only because
The Beat GOD
The song THE HOLY SPIRIT
The voice JESUS CHRIST
All live in perfect form and balance
Without this balance
All falls apart into the void
Full of darkness and chaos
