Fear me, the darkness Deep in your heart Slumbering in your soul Waiting to get out Longing to reach out And touch another being Tainted to the touch Brushed by a poisonous Creation lumbering For so long in the depths Of your love, corruption Seeping out Leaking out Of the cage That has held so long Darkness decaying All around you is falling Melting away with rot The air is riddled with The stench of fear All around you is seared By the touch of the darkness That you let out Plants wither, cattle corpses rot Can you handle the darkness The primordial fear you wrought Changing the land, the people They suffer until you say not.

Long Dog
Long dog, silly dog Sleeping by my leg Dream of chasing Robins, Robins Running the yard Bound, Bound Flying in the air Flap, Flap, Flop Little dog, silly dog Sleeping by my leg. 6/23/20 - Andy M.
Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope Prismatic at the wheel Drive me places Make me feel Prism shift Feel the drift From red to blue Coming down too Kaleidoscope Chromatic way I emote Long waves, short waves Makes me feel like a remote Palate of colors I am I shift with coming of wind Sail across the sky Prism rainbow am I Kaleidoscope Fully hued All the colors of the rainbow I suffer a few in magnitude.

My sister told me I should write a poem about pretty colors. so I did.
Existence
Erring on the side of madness I find only there is only sadness In this world so devoid Hollowed out and destroyed My home, my world, my existence Finding out it is not subsistence Only a truth if I were free Of bounds tied around me. June 18, 2020 - Andy McRae
Humble Bumble
The birds are chirping from the trees All around me the nature breathes. Scent of lavender lofts thru the air As someone fells down a tree with care. Old dogs lying, licking at their paws Sniffing the wind when they take a pause. Trees grow giant all around the yard Maple, Birch, Spruce, Willow stand guard. Flowers blossom, hummingbirds flutter, bees bumble This world beyond my door makes me feel humble. 6/15/20 – Andy McRae
Waterfall
Cascading Memories trickling down In pools around me I drown Thoughts Roaring to life by rapid Pounding, all the way Beating down to my id Rolling Tides wash me ashore Gasping for breath Functioning no more Puddles Surround me, drown me The pounding of the cascades Boring into what I am to be Silence As I quiet The roaring tempest That had been in riot Drip With the drop I ask, can I continue In this fashion, or must I stop. 6/4/20 ---- Andy McRae
Written in Dismay
I want to write about the light The brighter side of my life But I can’t. There are forces that stop me A barrier in place Up inside my head. It won't let me out to play With birds and the shining Of a bright summer day. All I can do is sit in wallow And swallow My misery and dismay. 6/1/20 – Andy McRae
Insanity Aches
Tearing in pain Worlds of ungodly domain ‘Is this fair’ I echo as I pull on my hair. I feel it crashing over me In waves it breaks One, two, three These momentary insanity aches. It’s coming from my chest I cannot stop it from fleeing Emotions get the best Of this man, not even a being. Pain is all I hear. Do you expect more from me A greatness that I should achieve Should I have aspirations in front of me I feel as if I should grieve. This utterly dead ringing I hear in my head bringing A maddened state of being. 6/1/20 - Written by Andy McRae
