My Gaze in Spectral
In the darkness it dwells
The visions and spells
Cast upon my gaze
That put my head in this daze
Look there is the spectral past
Shadows laid by the gleaming cast
Sight deceiving, my mind believing
Out in that bleakness, a thieving.
Beyond the layered mast
That I have laid in thus past
I bear down my soul
These images have taken their toll.

Meander in the Snow
Meander in the Snow meander down, snow inbound, path unplowed, mind enshroud. gone are the leaves, the sun sets early over the eaves, wind swept in cold air, and in my head the echoing memories blare. crunch of frozen, wet foliage underfoot, snow covers all the trees past the roots, loving the sight of my breath before my eyes, as I am crippled by those miserable cries. dusk settles in over the folly, the world crows, uneasily in its new melancholy, walking in past footsteps through the dimlit, retrace my pitiful mistakes that I did commit. blinded by the night, tripping over snow bites, and there I saw a pale winter wight. come to claim my frozen heart, I had it in my hands, with my organ I did part, and that sprite took me out of the dark, and from there on a journey I did embark. 12/8/21 – Andy McRae
Lost in a Day
Lost in a Day morning to morning night to night the blending of days has become to me a frightful hallucination when there is no way to begin nor end in sight life becomes grim the world around me grows drear a cage of insanity bars around my mind, how can I find a way from this cell, from this hell hell indeed, bound I concede given up, given in, from this world of circles I cannot win lost in a day which, I cannot say 10/29/21 – Andy McRae

Sliver of a Poem
Sliver of a Poem
silver the wings of time

is a year away from
yesterday

Unable
Unable My heart is lost In places worn Pieces torn By time’s thorns Love comes uneasy To one so unsettled By an alien thought Yet so readily bought Time and time unfold Different ways I hurl Myself into tragedy and pain, neglected into infamy Blood dribbles down my back The words on this book black The victims decidedly fine? Yet mine, the line, oh my mind It is a crack past the edge Is it their images bathed In my self loathed wine Making all seem fine In my mind, when I am not. 12/5/21 – Andy McRae
Beyond the Mirror
Beyond the Mirror mimic, himself in the mirror perfect reflection of self-healed beyond gaze, a man crumbles disease rotting from within worn strands of hands grasp for help, but only shake with a smile, but it is fake the man is riddle with decay hiding his decline only to protect, the target, is not to be known. 11/17/21 – Andy McRae
NIGHTMARES
slivers in time divide my mind in fine a world in miniature framed at my door when I move it centers more splinters in my mind telling me where to seek the bottom-line sunk below now i am swimming at sea amidst floating insanity fissures in this sphere my head cracking under pressure now i see through the field of shimmering lines that divide reality from nightmare a land beyond of terrifying dimensions nightmares waking my eyes are darkened by the shadows reality a glint that tickles the back of my head but i belong now to the realm of NIGHTMARES 11/4/21 – Andy McRae
