Look away

Aa Harvey

Look away

 

 

Transmission overload;

Can’t seem to figure out my mind.

I’m feeling home alone in time,

Too late to find a bride.

 

 

I have slept a thousand years;

No princesses kiss to change my heart and wake me up.

I have shed a thousand tears;

I filled the room with my philosophical water-ducts.

 

 

I swam like a duck into the sky,

Living for all that is ahead.

Communication; translate lies to truth,

Misinterpret every word I have said.

Here, take my dictionary.

It’s all made up with empathy.

I wrote love on every page,

To say the word I never get to say.

 

 

I took another look at all the mistakes I have made,

But they are carved in stone. No memory I can erase.

Pick up another love, I’ll never write your name into my book.

You will be a forgotten one; or you will be the only one…trust.

 

 

Open heart did for me;

I let me feelings float away.

I write it down for you to see

And then I make sure you always look away.

 

 

You want an honest man;

The truth would tear your hope apart.

Inside my life,

There is only space for one heart.

Fill our heart with endless wonder.

    Aa, I feel as though we are brothers cut from the same cloth. I can relate to your quest for love on a deep level. I don't know if this love you search for is for someone in your life or yet to be, but if you should find her, she will have all she could ever ask for in you. Excellent write my friend. EXCELLENT!!! ; )

    • Aa Harvey

      Many many thanx.

      "Did I misread the sign?
      Your hand slipped into mine.
      I wasn't expecting that...

      If I ever get the nerve to ask,
      What did I get right to deserve somebody like you?
      I wasn't expecting that...

      Oh and isn't it strange,
      How a life can be changed,
      In the flicker of the sweetest smile.
      We were married in spring,
      You know I wouldn't change a thing...

      I wasn't expecting that."

      • Accidental Poet

        That's beautiful Aa.

      • Fay Slimm.

        The wonder of love wrapped in expressive reflections. Good read A.A.

        • Aa Harvey

          Thank you.
          That's the wonder of love.

          "When no-one else can understand me,
          When everything I do is wrong,
          You give me hope and consolation,
          You give me strength to carry on
          And you're always there,
          To lend a hand,
          In everything I do...

          That's the wonder,
          The wonder of you."

            "I’m floating down a river...

            Further down the river...

            Floating down a river named emotion...

            Further down the river...

            I’m building an antenna.
            Transmissions will be sent,
            When I am through...

            Maybe we can meet again,
            Further down the river..."

            • Tony36

              Welcome, I hope we can meet again further down the river. I like reading your stuff

              Aa, it's never too late to find a bride!
              Well penned, I like it!

              • Aa Harvey

                Thanx.

                (A message to my future self...)


                "Old man look at my life,
                I'm a lot like you were.
                Old man look at my life,
                I'm a lot like you were...

                Live alone in a paradise,
                That makes me think of two.
                Love lost, such a cost,
                Give me things that don't get lost...

                Old man take a look at my life,
                I'm a lot like you!
                I need someone to love me,
                The whole day through.
                One look in my eyes
                And you can tell that's true..."

              • myself and me

                "I have slept a thousand years;
                No princesses kiss to change my heart and wake me up."
                Since you have slept for so long, why mind to wait a little bit longer. Once the right princess appear, you will wake up without kiss.
                Just take another nap. Your true love will come.
                Great writing.

                • Aa Harvey

                  I have already been asleep long enough.
                  I try to believe that I will find true love one day, so it's nice to hear people tell me that I will find my true love...Thank you.

                  "I have loved you for a thousand years.
                  I'll love you for a thousand more…

                  Time stands still.
                  Beauty in all she is…

                  I have loved you for a thousand years.
                  I'll love you for a thousand more
                  And all along I believed I would find you.
                  Time has brought your heart to me.
                  I have loved you for a thousand years.
                  I'll love you for a thousand more."
