Shadows and Sticks
caffeine hyperdrive
a manic stuck on auto drive
retrograde mental projections
back turned, I left in rejection
illusions weaved in my mind eye
forsaken by the very reality, I
a world of shadows and sticks
bending the truth, as the candle
burns down to the wick
I feel sick

Doom & Destiny
Doom & Destiny
Shade befallen vale
There I dwell
Where I fail
To put to quill
Such things as I will
Seeing spiders crawl
On the walls,
In the corners of my eye
Creak of bones
Hidden in my walls
Banging,
Begging to be released
Of this world I saw a fall
On an autumn wind
I forsee destruction
As words seem to fail me
I find myself unveiled to thee
Can you see through my walls
Are my shields transparent
Am I that aberrant
Doomed to lie in decay
Destined to die in dismay

A Tune of Autumn
A Tune of Autumn Heather on my lips Needles in my eyes A wisp smoke on the eve Before it all burnt down Daydreamt dragons In a lair exquisite I pilfer one piece But only leave A little toasted Silver melody bellows, Carries through the wind Past my ear as I wallow Bunkered under a willow A tune of autumn Of the end of seasons Yet the beginning of others 9/11/21 - Andy McRae
Atrocity
Atrocity Looking for patterns in the ceiling Find some, finding none. None is some, and some is a lot, A face staring back at me All night I see you The clown haunting my dreams. Shrieks and shrills Screaming wills I find the wall talking back Am I sane or am I broken Is this all but a dream. The wall whispers atrocities Terrible things. 8/8/21 – Andy McRae
Luna
Luna
Sunset fallen mind crest
I feel the heat beaming
On my neck.
Twilight creeps on
And I do miss the sun
In shadows and greys
I find myself lost in my ways.
Dark nights take over,
Time to embrace my lover
A goddess of Luna.
Dawn is soon to arrive
But my love has thrived
Lunacies dancing in my head
Words flashing before me in bed.
By mornings lit
The world seems shit
And I am a glaze
Left in a daze.

Descending Twilight
Descending Twilight Twilight has descended upon us One light goes out, many flicker on A grey ambiance fills our eyes Chilling, dark air fills our lungs. Night is upon us, as we sigh In collective relief. 6/30/21 – Andy McRae
Feathers of a Bird, Scales of a Lizard
Feathers of a Bird, Scales of a Lizard In mountains of black smoke I dwell in the back of minds I wonder alone in the streets At night I look to take you To make into an image of divine. Wine drunken by the goblet Shepherds herd the herd I ponder the meaning of My soul No more madness Now is a time for gladness As we soak ourselves in snow Glowing eels in the river Watch them go by, fly by, in the air Why? Am I a monster who attacks The feathers of a bird, the scales of lizard If there is no protection from me Then who am I to be me? 6/21/21 - Andy McRae
To Pieces
To Pieces Torn pieces of paper A soul no different. Laughing aside calamity Pushing aside sanity. Dancing in the street Bare ass naked. Wandering those same Streets later in shame. Wondering who knows Who can see through This facade I put on Just for your joy. I am dying inside Little by little. As my soul is torn To pieces, like paper. 6/21/21 - Andy McRae
Watching Seconds
Watching Seconds Staring at the clock, watching seconds tick Waiting all the while, feeling myself decay Like words written on paper, that turns brown Only to fade away, tatter, and disintegrate Feeling the wind on my neck, in my hair Telling me that it is time to move on Time to pick up, pack up and set sail Staring at the clock watching seconds tick Waiting all the while, knowing I avoid A life that awaits me beyond, it's not long Before I shall find myself out of time My clock unwound, my mind unsound And nowhere to go, for I locked all the doors. 6/8/21 - Andy McRae
Lands I Once Ruled
Lands I Once Ruled Flipping through realities makes me dizzy Views of planes flash before my eyes Thrown into danger and lives not mine Turmoil ensues around the one, not I But I experience the pain, the joy Emotions surge through my veins I feel elated by the joy, the pain Whole cities bend around me Though not I, this one is pivotal Rotating others in ways I cannot explain why Enjoyment is fronted By love and death But right as the story reaches a climax, I feel the world ripped away from me Pulsing waves of disturbance around I feel my head throbbing and pulling Me out, this world I’ve grown to love Yanked from one plane and dumped In another, back into mine, A plane of unrealistic horrors And unparalleled bores I long to return To lands I once ruled. 11/30/20 – Andy McRae
