POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Pinterest Aa Harvey shows you all you need to know about me. My new unfinished poems are my b sides and not the finished article. I need for you to help me finish them with your comments or maybe inspiration. Some of them I have had unfinished for years.
Close enough to criticize
Poems are like women and poems are like men; beauty is unique.
You don’t know what will attract someone to read your poem and to see.
A poem one person may be bored of reading, may inspire someone else;
So I will continue to write what I want to,
Because I simply write to please myself.
If this poem is not for you, then I apologize for wasting your time;
But there are things inside my head,
That need to be let out of the darkness and into the light.
Up, up and away! They are written down and then they are gone!
In a place...

On this heart a scar is formed
If you have love, why are you asking for more?
Some people do not have what you have.
In these days of every possibility, you should be grateful;
But still you want, so go and break, take and be glad.
Happy inside your fictional love;
Make me up a memory of feeling, because I am so empty.
You treat love like it is just another drug,
But you treat it with such disdain, because you have so many.
Take me out of the food chain; I can no longer be love’s play thing.
I have given all I can to this cause.
Just leave me to rot,...

Rainbow in a hurricane
Living life like a, hurricane and I,
Can’t explain why I chase loves holy grail and I;
I’ve got to try harder, to get myself higher,
Because I could love you, the way I used to love her.
There’s a rainbow in my hurricane;
A million colours, between my sun and rain.
Love is here and love is all around;
It’s so easy to lose and so hard to be found.
But I don’t know how to cross through a rainbow,
I can’t tell you how to swim through snow.
I can’t understand how to make my karma flow;
All I know is; you make my heart...

Shields up
My life is a green house
And I am throwing bricks.
I hand you my writings
And I hope one of them sticks.
I am rigor mortis beneath the skin;
Frozen in time, letting nobody in.

The end of love is a butterfly destroyed
My lust is in the bottle,
It’s sat there on the shelf.
My lust is too much for you,
So I must be by myself.
I need something amazing, to change my empty life;
I need to find a woman. No; I need to find a wife.
I need something new, to replace the old;
I need someone blue, whose heart is cold.
I need what I know, pain and suffering;
Hurt me and lie you love me and I will give you a ring.
Keep happiness away from me please,
I don’t understand it, I don’t get it;
Please give me back my misery.

Withered
Ashes remind me of the time wished away;
Those lost memories have now faded to grey.
My greatest sorrow is the death of tomorrow.
The bleak outlook is so hollow;
It leaves my tasteless love so immoral.
Your love eats away at my soul like a cancer.
You used to be such a happy dancer;
But then you found love and fell apart like a neutron bomb.
Love left you withered, as soon as your lover was gone.
Decay sets in to eat away at your pride;
You live in the dirt covered stains of a life.
You used to be light, now you’re...

A new low
Depression is in session in the black hole of my head;
It drags the misery deep inside me and I wish I was dead.
I no longer want to live in a world so cold;
I shiver.
I never forget the emptiness within my heart
And the solitary of my soul.
Love no longer lives here, for I now live alone;
Oh my God how I do detest the silence of my phone.
No more calls of happiness are made;
A new low to be found.
Just sadness and hurt are all I can see,
In the mirror reflecting my face,
Because you are no longer...

I don't care
Would my father have left, if I was not born?
And would I have become his favorite son?
If he’d let me, if he’d let me.
Would I have become, the son I became,
If he’d stayed in my life? And if he had stayed,
Would I still be? Or would I be?
The same as I am! Angry at my Dad!
Or would I see, he’s not worth it?
And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there.
I don’t care! How he is now.
And I don’t care! That Daddy wasn’t there;
Because I have love, from my Mother.
So rejoice with me, because I...
And would I have become his favorite son?
If he’d let me, if he’d let me.

The lady in the flowers
The lady in the flowers with the white cotton dress;
It flows behind her and clings to her, as she gathers her bouquet.
With her crown made from picked daisies, she looks like a Princess;
Her smile shines like a sun beam on the fourth of May.
In this magical place, we are lost no more; we are in love!
Good Heaven’s above, are sending signals to us.
As she dances through the tulips,
She is soft to the touch and receptive to my advances;
Ladies in lavender do not give second chances.
But she is truly forgiving all my misdemeanors; ...

Lost love
There was a girl whose heart felt so cold;
Her true story has never been told.
With her head full of dreams, she walked the streets;
She dreamed of having the world at her feet.
She was trying to live on the razors edge;
She appeared from nowhere and left me for dead.
Screaming from a wonderland inside my head,
Came the sound of a frightened animal so easily lead.
I am an animal lost in loves wilderness,
Begging for another chance to be blessed.
She may be gone, but she is always inside me.
She cleared away the bad...

Robotic
Silver tears fall from robot eyes;
The hole for a heart has broken wires.
The love we used to feel? I have removed those files.
Robotic people lead robotic lives.
Delete memories to give us more memory space;
The undistinguished face is factory made.
Modelled in clay; repeat again.
Another body, with another face; we are all the same.
Robotic people live robotic lives.
Work for the master for nickels and dimes.
Programmed to function, incapable of lying;
Programmed to self-destruct at the end of our time.

A broken heart sinking beneath the surface
It is rotten luck to have known of love;
Where once we were eternally happy, sad but a second in youth.
This love thing they speak of takes a hold of us
And we are forever at its beck and call;
The sorrow of learning the truth.
Once we ran all day and played in the sun;
Swam in seas alongside beaches, smiling and getting a tan.
Where once we ran after a ball, when we were still young;
Our childhood dissolved
And we were forced to become a woman or a man.
Before our hearts were captured and sure enough, broken;
We...
