Poet Introduction
Pinterest Aa Harvey shows you all you need to know about me.
Love Thyself
Enter Dante, Master of Arts.
It’s a place to start and on to far,
Away I stray and I will never return.
The books are black, the stories yearn,
To be told and cold, for warm is happy.
Life is hard and so is family.
In darkness is where I find myself.
My personal Hell, my place to dwell
And create, but wait, I simmer longer,
If left alone to bubble under.
For on the other hand, I came back stronger
And only at night can I truly plunder.
Dig up the corpse and wear it proud.
Tear off its crown, we’re going...
It’s a place to start and on to far,
Away I stray and I will never return.
The books are black, the stories yearn,
To be told and cold, for warm is happy.
Life is hard and so is family.
In darkness is where I find myself.
My personal Hell, my place to dwell
And create, but wait, I simmer longer,
If left alone to bubble under.
For on the other hand, I came back stronger
And only at night can I truly plunder.
Dig up the corpse and wear it proud.
Tear off its crown, we’re going...

King of The Devil Blues
I raise my voice to make you hear my cries.
I lift my heart up aiming for your skies.
They won’t believe, but I keep the faith.
They never needed to know my name or see my face.
So I raise my voice up, lift me towards your light.
Lift my heart up, come make everything alright.
I lift my heart up, it’s held as a sacrifice.
You want my soul, then tell me what is it’s price?
You want my blood? Then I’ll lay down my life.
I just want my freedom to write what I know is right.
I want to hold the gold, the oldest payment for your price. ...

Deathly stares
Upon the boat we sit and stare,
At Sea and souls and sin and air.
The fate of man is written scarred,
The doomed condemned, the deathly barge.
To Hell we sail, no Holy Grail pride,
Can save our lives from waves and tides,
Which carry us onward through this fearful night.
No light in the sky of the afterlife.
He pushes us onto to who knows what,
The faceless unseen, the unknown thingy, wotnot.
His name is not known by mere mortals.
We never knew about all these portals.
Some go up but most go down.
You cannot leave, you cannot...
At Sea and souls and sin and air.
The fate of man is written scarred,
The doomed condemned, the deathly barge.
To Hell we sail, no Holy Grail pride,
Can save our lives from waves and tides,
Which carry us onward through this fearful night.
No light in the sky of the afterlife.
He pushes us onto to who knows what,
The faceless unseen, the unknown thingy, wotnot.
His name is not known by mere mortals.
We never knew about all these portals.
Some go up but most go down.
You cannot leave, you cannot...

Right
If Heaven’s gates are all that wait,
Then let that fate which I await,
Take me in; I can no longer stay.
This fool for love hopes for judgment day.
This life I lived, to all I give,
Take it from me, I beg you please,
For if I cannot be in love and truly happy,
Then why would I live a life without? Do you get me?
A blind man cannot see the beauty,
That is forever out of sight.
Why can I not be right for her as she for me is so right?
My plight is that of a flightless bird,
Head down in the dirt.
This...

Dark heart
The pain is back; feeble heart.
I can feel myself sinking into my dark art.
Hand me a life jacket or tear me apart with a single sentence.
To me you are only a thing of non-consequence.
All people are, is driving in their cars.
I’ve travelled far, but never left my star.
Hollywood drive, I have arrived;
Paint by number movies, oh how we laughed and we cried.

Beautiful tears
Life has an expiration date.
Call it sad or call it fate.
It has to end and all fades away.
You can fight against it but you can’t evade.
Remember your dead for they are not here.
You have loved them now for years and years,
And when you next meet them you will once more be near.
Their ending was not the beginning of your tears.
You have already cried and you did not die.
They fade away but you hold their light.
Inside your heart is where you will find them.
They will be waiting for you at your bitter end.

A beautiful lie
Tell me a beautiful lie…I’ll believe it because I have to.
Find me a corner in which I can cry, for this soul cannot be soothed.
Gift me a word of truth that I will never believe.
Give me your honesty so I can once more see.
A lie is just a truth, wrapped in an enigma inside a box,
And I can’t find the key, I need to unlock.
The words are misremembered or never understood.
Show me your truth and I’ll despise your good.
Hand me my life in a basket, I’ll devour your soul.
Wrap me in a casket, when I get too old.
Punch me...

Dark souls
Feels like I have died inside.
Still walking through the tears I have cried.
Memories walk with me by my side
And in my dreams is the only way I can fly.
Thinking of a girl who died soul free.
In the middle of the night she spoke with me.
She said let yourself go and dump your non-energy.
It only eats away at you, time after time, believe me.

Dig in
Dig in deep, I stamp my feet;
You’re never passing me by.
Make a stand; I hate your plans,
To try to ruin my life.
Stand up tall; bring down your walls,
I have to fight for peace.
Hear my call; I hate your war,
On peoples dignity.
Your claims are false,
You raise my pulse,
With every lie you tell.
You versus us, you broke the trust,
You swore to protect our health.
You kill us all, with words that fall,
As soon as they are exposed.
You fight your war of words with the poor,
With broken promises, overload. ...

Betrayal
I lost my mind today.
They say I look ok,
Because they cannot see,
The truth being betrayed;
But I saw it in you and I laughed.
Not again, I am oh so daft,
To believe in love after all this time.
A sucker punch…a final line.

Blown away by love
You blew me away with your words.
I fall to my knees to pray to be with you.
I can stand against the hurt,
If the answer means we will never be through.
