Poet Introduction
Pinterest Aa Harvey shows you all you need to know about me.
Poison
My pain is contagious, so don’t come any closer,
I don’t want you to suffer, as I must suffer.
I won’t let this pain, eat away at you too,
This is my cross to carry,
Don’t let it be a burden to you.
For one must hurt and two can’t suffer in silence.
For you to be free, I alone must go through this.
Keep your distance and I’ll keep my promises;
To keep you away from all this sadness.
Even though you and I, I wish could be,
I have to hurt you sooner rather than later,
To allow you to be free.
Please...

The days of our lives
In life we are at home, in death we are gone.
In sorrow we mourn the death of a loved one.
Without consequence we would not know what is wrong.
Forever we are searching for a place to belong.
As we grow our wings, we venture off into the distance.
A life of memories behind us; a gift from the gifted.
In light we find ourselves surrounded by mystery;
What next on this journey? What next in this story?
What next to see and who is looking inside?
The tale of our experiences…the days of our lives.

Heavy! Man
Standing at the edge of the abyss,
Looking for a future.
Feeling heavier than a concrete cow!
I want to be discovered.

Visualize
He is just a pauper, preaching from his own pulpit;
All the thoughts he has have grown from his own agony.
Beaten down, but never kept down, he is not in sync.
Living one way; his way. At war with everybody.
One fist holding a flower, with a hand upon his heart;
He has never known a love like yours, so give him your sympathy.
Down on his knees, he is crying in the dark;
Begging for you to just show him a little mercy.
Anti-social, humanitarian ghost;
No longer does he believe in the hope you offer and the joy you see. ...

Him
I and I alone can never be called a clone,
Of a man that I am, for it is here that I stand
And alone I stand telling you of a plan,
That was formed inside a mind,
Skip a line or tell it twice.
Never good enough to just give up,
Never going to give a second look,
At the man who disagrees, who is he?
Who am I? Just a man passing by.
Side by side we live this life,
But we are very different, he and I.
What am I to become?
Just another falling sun?
I pass the time by writing rhymes,
To a beat; I move my...

Dark thoughts
Darkness bleeds into my veins and pushes out my feelings;
All the thoughts inside my brain are thinking about leaving.
Leaving my mind or leaving this world, I haven’t decided yet.
Now I must make a choice as to whether I am going to just do it.
The suicide solution took the blame,
For a child’s thoughts and his hidden pain.
Let it rain on all the happy people, to wash away their smiles;
Let the innocence be lost in vain.
Let the prosecution begin and let our world go on trial.
Do we deserve to live on this Earth or has it...

Blameless
If you want to be glad then be glad,
If you want to be sad then be sad.
If you want to be altogether happy inside,
Then don’t rely on a man.
We are bad to the bone and bad for your soul,
You should just let go and save yourself.
You are blameless and you should go.
We are the nameless and we only care about ourselves.
If you need to be loved then find love,
If you need to be alone then be alone.
If you want to be altogether a better person,
Then delete his number off your phone.

Sweet dreams are made of cheese
Sweet dreams are made of cheese,
Who am I to offer you brie?
I’ve travelled the world on a sea of fleas,
Everybody is looking for Sunday.
Some of them want to feed you!
Some of them want to get fed by you.
Some of them want to amuse you,
Some of them want to be amused.
(Long instrumental…)

Shatterproof
This is not the only time,
When I could not think of what to write.
So I simply close my eyes
And dream of you throughout the night.
You passed the test, you’re picturesque,
You are the taker of my breath.
My fantasies have all come true,
The boyhood dream of something blue.
Something borrowed, something old,
Something otherworldly and something new.
All I have is all I need,
All I ever wanted was a wife like you.
Because I’m…
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you. ...

Jack and Jill : Enter the Matrix
Jack and Jill, took the blue pill.
The truth they cared not for, the truth they ignored.
Their minds couldn't handle, what their brains didn't believe.
The truth stood in front of them, but they knew nothing is free.
They thought if they learned,
What wasn't meant to be known.
They would become slaves and never see home.
Stood on top of a hill, Jack turned to Jill.
Did we make the right choice?
Should we have had our eyes opened?
Just think of all the things, that we could have learned.
But what was the...

Bright light city
Bright light city, shining in the distance;
Bright light city girl, shining in the dark.
My landing light beacon, you give me a reason;
Now I understand just what you could be and what you are.
You are made of crystal,
Illuminate my heart.
Show me the way to go forward,
To find a new way to love your art.
In a world of black holes that swallow our souls,
You have become my guiding light.
I read your thoughts to know what you know
And inside your heart I find a love I have needed my whole life.
