Warped Visions

Warped Visions

Spectral figures haunt
A maddening taunt

Beckon the demons
They torture my soul
I hurt them once
Now their spirits
Hurt me evermore

My mind is ablaze
With twisted images
Of the deadly glaze
Warped visions
Taken by the ones
Harassed my mental
Insanity pleasures glad

Taken from them
Given to me mania
Forever illness
Images that haunt
Warp the mind
There is no exit

The Crunch of Leaves Under Foot

The Crunch of Leaves Under Foot 

leaves dancing in the tumbles of the breeze
decay falling down, to the ground, so brown
my mind filled, thoughts scattered and worn
this body torn by stress, no time to decompress

a black silhouette mourns down the cobbled path
leaves on the left, death on the right, time behind
soft footfall leaves crunched leaves under heel
how can a man feel when the world is dying

a Funeral

Just a quick sketch I drew. Just starting to get back into drawing.
a Funeral

death in casual passing
to mourn the trespassing

feel the tears form in eyes
retain forlorn goodbyes

wish back love lost past
gather not but flowers harassed 

will seeping through bone
growing so old and alone

vision fades to naught
lying in a tomb of distraught

In Madness, No Time

In Madness, No Time

They come in through the holes
	in the walls 
They torment me so, in my dreams
	I am awake, shake me not
	I might brake
In the light, I see darkness
	in escapable pits, despair!
	alas, I am down there
Lo, I am forsaken by them all
	the ones to guide me to the hall
Bright the lights in my eye
	yet all I see is dim
	visions of nigh
Written on the walls
	in orange dotted lines
In madness 
	no time

Syncing Delusional

Syncing Delusional
 
I am the unusual
Very much delusional,
A man perched on the brink
This verse, this man, out of sync.
 
I am searching to fill in a hole
A chunk of ground missing in front
Of my blind eyes, I fall in with a grunt.
Bury me alive, cover me with dirt, like a mole
I, the delusional, cannot see through to your soul
 
Pondered on the verge of my destruction
Why is it that I am always looking for what is null
You fell into my gaze, only for me to crack my skull
If I bleed onto you, I will bleed on your instruction
I have fallen, delusional I am, into your seduction.

Fear Me

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.

Insanity Aches

Tearing in pain
Worlds of ungodly domain
โ€˜Is this fairโ€™
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.

Itโ€™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

I am the…

I am the inferno
Scorching all I meet
Trail of ash in wake
I walk alone

I am the tempest
Toppling all in my way
Gloom follows me
I walk alone

I am the pestilence
Rotting all rope binds
Decay hangs around me
I am utterly alone.

I am the destroyer
Of all that I hold,
It turns to dust
In my hands I see
A world that blows away.

--Andy McRae----5/12/20--

Makeshift

A flick of fire in the eyes
Of a figure broken in to two sides.
ย 
Pieces scattered all around,
From when he shattered on the ground.
ย 
Punctured by shards of his own,
The wicked side stabs the 'lone.
ย 
From these pieces I shall make
A man greater than his fate.
Forge them in his own fire,
Breathes of the dragon's tongue,
Burning the soul of which, he is from.
ย 
Once divided, before then whole,
This makeshift man shall walk again.

This is a old poem of mine, early college years if I had to guess.

Bleeding Out

You broke into my heart,
Opened up the veins,
And now itโ€™s bleeding out.
ย 
You stabbed me in the back,
Ripping through my skin,
Now my world is blacking out.
ย 
Cut away this misery,
Your twisted ways are killing me,
And now Iโ€™m bleeding out.

This is an old one that was forgotten about most likely because it was never named.
