Poet Introduction
Pinterest Aa Harvey shows you all you need to know about me.
Miguel the poet
I saw a poet die tonight, I see this every day.
Another man on another film, why must it be this way?
Any man can be something, it's impossible to be nothing,
The homeless drunk sleeps in his cardboard box,
His life is now in ruins.
But he was something once and he's still something now,
But his worth to this world, floats away into the clouds;
That cannot be touched, only seen from a distance,
When you stand in a cloud, you no longer exist.
He's gone from this world but his memory lives on,
In the mind of the coroner,...

Magic Stardust Nymphomaniac
This is simply my way of telling you,
My love for drugs has left me lost; but now I see through.
Deep into your soul I see in you,
All of the things I need for a love so true.
Unhappy not to have been here sooner; to aid you.
Give me love and take all of mine;
It belongs only to you, love of time.
Love of now and forever? This is not my,
Future to know; maybe my destiny to behold. I pray.
For in your eyes I see only love;
In your words I hear only trust.
Tempting, but scary; paranoia caused by drugs. ...

United States of Aa
United States of apathy,
United States of anger;
United States of a bastard,
I am the United States of Me.
United States of love,
United States of trust.
United States of dreams,
But I am never free.
United States of disharmony,
United States of tears;
United States of sorrow,
I have become united with my grief.
For attraction leads to speaking
And speaking can lead to a kiss.
A kiss leads us to touch each other
And to touch can lead to sex.
Sex can lead to love ...

Coincidence is the hope of a non-believer
Living in a house, in the middle of nowhere,
No noise, no commotion, just lots of fresh air.
Oh isn't this the life? A perfect holiday,
A perfect time; to get away.
The sad dark man, with no hope in his soul,
Has now finally found, what he is looking for.
You’re not looking for love, but it's jumped up and bitten you.
How do I know this? Because it's bitten me too.
But you are the cause for me being bitten,
Once shy; now forever smitten.
Speaking is hard and thinking is harder when you are high,
But I've been...

Apples in orchards
Apples in orchards crashing like snowflakes to the ground,
They fall into the baskets to be eaten now.
They have ripened and at last we can taste their juices;
This fruit of the loom brings pleasure to our mouths.
Vineyards drunk dry by drunken Mediterranean’s,
Create a wine so divine, you would swear it was a God send.
There is no end of pleasure to be found in this land of ours;
Sip the wine and spit it out and then while away the hours.
Summer shines upon us, as we are drunk in love;
We have tasted her, we are with her...

All I had to give
I will break apart,
I will break apart;
I will break apart if I let you into my heart.
I have nothing left inside,
I have nothing left inside;
I have nothing left inside but hatred
And it is purified.
All I had to give away,
I gave it to you every day.
All I have to give away,
I let it go; I let it get away.
All I have to give to you;
I have nothing left to give to you.
All I had to give to you;
I wasted it all away on you.
Stains on the heart so deep, they can't be...

Barefoot
All my poems are written to express myself;
Talking in riddles is bad for your wealth.
I think I need to find new oxygen;
This land has no clean air and I am no help.
I live for laughter; I laugh at myself.
Beaten and broken, I have become someone else.
Is this a new age? Or is it just the same face,
In search of a shave and a better day?
I live for now, I fade away.
When all is lost, who am I to say?
I need for nothing, but crave it all.
I can’t be brave in this brave new world.
She walks on egg...

Love is not unconditional
Love is not unconditional,
Love is not unconditional,
Love is not unconditional.
Even love has laws;
Yeah even love has laws.
And if there’s just one thing to learn today,
If there’s just one thing you should hear.
Then let’s hope you remain faithful,
Then I will remain near.
But if you break loves laws, by breaking my heart,
Then you and I and love itself, will sadly have to part.
No love is made here anymore,
No love is made here anymore,
No love is made here anymore.
It’s just a fading memory, a...

Remember me
Lay me down on a bed of roses,
For my heart has ceased to beat.
My mind shall no longer wander to and fro,
For I must go to my eternal sleep.
If I succeeded in anything,
Then praise the Heavens above.
For I was just a mortal man,
In search of his true love.
If I triumphed and barriers overcame,
Then speak of me with pride, for I was just another name.
Another one who died and if I managed to affect your heart;
In the years you had known me.
Then cry for me as I depart,
But never weep because without me...

Until death does us part
Until death do us part, that’s how it all starts.
Entwine two hearts and you will be dancing under stars.
Today we find smiles that stretch on for miles,
With family and friends all around us, dressed in style.
From top hats to sharp shoes and dresses covered in diamonds.
The ‘just married’ cans are rattling behind us,
As we drive away towards a tropical island.
And when we return from our honeymoon holiday,
The love is never ending; the memories never fade.
When we have spent the last two weeks under sunshine and in bed, ...
Entwine two hearts and you will be dancing under stars.
Today we find smiles that stretch on for miles,
With family and friends all around us, dressed in style.
From top hats to sharp shoes and dresses covered in diamonds.

And when we return from our honeymoon holiday,
The love is never ending; the memories never fade.

A big heart
I ain't got a woman to call my own;
I ain't got her ringing on my phone.
I ain't got her picture; I ain't got her time.
All I have left to use is a word that rhymes.
It’s such a shame that love hates me,
When all I wanted was to give her everything.
All I ever wanted was to hear her say;
I love you today.
I want to hear this every single day.
She's my morning glory, my reason to be;
She couldn't hear me when I tried so hard to speak.
But if she just knew how I fell for her,
I'm sure things would...
