Royal Expectations

Royal Expectations

By Andy Allchurch

Standing tall like a classical statue

The heart of the nation bows its head to you

And now in the avenues of royalty

There’s another light that shines through

To an audience of many millions

Respect to royal expectations is a formal act from civillians

Keep well in your joie de vivre

Reflect on the future of generations

With possession of life internal

The spirit of antcipation abides deep within the minds journal

And with your status now a celebration

Royal expectation is of thoughts parental

Royal expectation cause for royal jubilation

And with good reason enjoy the season be awarded creation

The lady is a lady in waiting

Famous and of widespread good reputation.

The Spirit Of Spring

The Spirit Of Spring

By Andy Allchurch

Omnipotent the springs spirit, sincere, frevent

Impressive and grand in appearance, she stands keen

And the splendour of the winters scene now incoherent

As the sunshine supreme, has wiped out the white dream

Cherished is the spirit, fertile, reproductive

Increasing and circulating in silence, justifing her name

And knowing all around rejoice at her rebirth seductive

As the heat gain, conscious dispels the rapiers of rain

Dutiful to mother earth, obedient, resolute

Resplendent and repatriated with resources, the spirit unflinching

Her heartbeat conducive to production orchestrate growth en route

And whispering breezes outvote, the villainous wind that’s now wincing

Giving back good health, reconstructed, replaced

Resurgence gives rise to vigour, springs spirit assiduous

Her opus an artistic creation composed in good taste

And life in spring, personifies the embodiment that is grace.

Dreams Of Emotions

Dreams of Emotions

By Andy Allchurch

I’ve always imagined events created in my dreams

Would one day become realistic, and i’ll find what love means

Dreams of emotions, are experienced in my sleep

Dreams of emotions, a reality i can’t keep

Formulated in my imagination

Characters with an assignation

Influenced by my feelings

Not by rational thinking

Dreamy is my contentment

Wonderful and impressive sentiment

Dreams of emotions leave no resentment

Dreams of emotions are heaven sent

Emotion is overall a deep and strong feeling

Could love be found for me, without encumbrance or double dealing

Dreams of emotions, are combined in a thought

Dreams of emotions, though inspirational can’t be bought

Romance is shrouded in a dreamy mysterious aura

And yearning for true love, is not going back to nostalgia

Dreams of emotions, are blissful to my mind

Dreams of emotions, a nourishment paid in kind

Love is an emotional attraction, and a feeling of affection

No restriction in my dreams for a lover with some retrospection

Dreams of emotions, are proactive in my vision

Dreams of emotions, have no need of derision

Its only in my own minds eye do dreams materialise

When i find the love i crave, i awaken in surprise

Dreams of emotions, are a vehicles for my use

Dreams of emotions, so profound and so profuse

Private and completely pristine are the emotions of my dreams

Only i can interpret the interior of my true love scene

Dreams of emotions, are infiltrating to my heart

Dreams of emotions, inflamed my soul from the start

Formulated in my imagination

Characters with an assignation

Influenced by my feelings

Not by rational thinking

Dreamy is my contentment

Wonderful and impressive sentiment

Dreams of emotions leave no resentment

Dreams of emotions are heaven sent

Dreams of emotions…………………………….are heaven sent

Sun Shades On A Grey Day

Sun shades on a grey day

By Andy Allchurch

There are so many unspoken words to say

And hard times for me to get through

I’m wearing my sun shades on a grey day

Cause my eyes are crying rivers for you

You left me without a word

I don’t know what i’ve supposed to have done

Wearing sun shades on a grey day is absurd

But i know love has been and gone

There are so many unanswered questions to hear

And many reasons that are unclear to me

I’m afraid at the moment my minds not here

And now my eyes are unable to see

I’ve no impression, not even vague

I don’t know why you sprung this surprise

And the emotion on my face is displayed

So the sun shades on this grey day is my disguise

You were my life support, my true lifeblood

In you i found that i could confide

Now that dam has burst causing wide spread flood

And in my eyes the waters they collide

I’ve no understanding, not even remote

I need to resolve this situation, to organise

I need your love to help me refloat

Until then sun shades on this grey day is my disguise

I once felt on top of the world

And now the bottom has definitely dropped out

The flags i waved in love are left unfurled

And my mind is still riddled with doubt

I’ve no perception, not even intuition

The love i knew was based on lies

So i’m forced to face my fears, face submission

And so sun shades on this grey day is my disguise

There are so many unspoken words to say

And hard times for me to get through

I’m wearing my sun shades on a grey day

Cause my eyes are crying rivers for you

You left me without a word

I don’t know what i’ve supposed to have done

Wearing sun shades on a grey is absurd

But i know love has been and gone.

GRACIOUS LORD

Gracious lord

By Andy Allchurch

Gracious lord, with elegance and wonder

Lift up the spirits of those who have doubt

Give comfort in prayer so they can grow fonder

Let songs of praise from thy high tower ring out

Lift up the hearts, the minds, the souls

Bring pleasure to bare, for those who have goals

The seat of passion is in the kingdom not dark

Salvation breeds creation and is given thy holy mark

Gracious lord that’s wise and just

Give the meek good grace to follow thy course

Let the wisdom flow free in deeds of trust

Devotion creates emotion so born is thine own renascence force

Lift up the hearts, the minds, the souls

Bring pleasure to bear, for those who have goals

The seat of passion is in the kingdom not dark

Salvation breeds creation and is given thy holy mark

Gracious lord, so honest and kind

Forgive all the hearts that are not so divine

Open the eyes of those who are heavenly blind

Faith brings freedom along the full march of time

Lift up the hearts, the minds, the souls

Bring pleasure to bear, for those who have goals

The seat of passion is in the kingdom not dark

Salvation breeds creation and is given thy holy mark

Gracious lord, who’s guidance and strength

Prepares the way for all lost souls to repent

Be patient with others speak to them at length

Grace joins favour and love to thine house they present

Lift up the hearts, the minds, the souls

Bring pleasure to bare for those who have goals

The seat of passion is in the kingdom not dark

Salvation breeds creation and is given thy holy mark

Gracious lord, who attends and creates

Reinstate the one’s that fell, then act on reform

Restore their knowledge in thine own kingdom that waits

Tact aids support for all those out in thy storm

Lift up the hearts, the minds, the souls

Bring pleasure to bear for those who have goals

The seat of passion is in the kingdom not dark

Salvation breeds creation and is given thy holy mark

Gracious lord, with honour and pride

Let thy teachings be seasoned to fulfill all appetites

Let not just the faithful be full and satisfied

Hope with harvest shows love grows on both sides

Lift up the hearts, the minds, the souls

Bring pleasure to bare, for those who have goals

Lift up the hearts, the mind, the souls

Bring pleasure to bare, for those who have goals

The seat of passion is in the kingdom not dark

Salvation breeds creation and is given thy holy mark.

Behind My Eyes

Behind My Eyes

By Andy Allchurch

The spinning flame from the candle

Sends shadows up the wall

It’s something i can’t handle

The shadows that crawl

I can see your image

Dancing with delight

The wall is your stage

Where you have no stage fright

And my mind is in free fall

No more am i your white knight

You’ve taken heavens call

How can i now stand upright

My emotions i can’t disguise

Because you are behind my eyes, you are behind my eyes

Filled with a sense of wonder

With nostalga in the air

My hearts been put asunder

Knowing you’re not there

And the wind blows freely

Whistling your name

The room now becomes chilly

My body is a cold frame

And my mind is in free fall

No more am i your white knight

You’ve taken heavens call

How can i now stand upright

My emotions i can’t disguise

Because you are behind my eyes, you are behind my eyes

There was no doubt about romance

I offered you my hand

Love was at first glance

Now no mans land

But the silence keeps talking

In images sublime

My mind is forever stalking

The heavens for my arrival time

And my mind is in free fall

No more am i your white knight

You’ve taken heavens call

How can i now stand upright

My emotions i can’t disguise

Because you are behind my eyes, you are behind my eyes

Free reign is in my imagination

The spirit floats to ground

Heaven can have my donation

My body heaven bound

And the dark turns inwards

Time slowly fades

Soon we’ll be having words

So broken hearts mend their ways

And my mind is in free fall

No more am i your white knight

You’ve taken heavens call

How can i now stand upright

My emotions i can’t disguise

Because you are behind my eyes, you are behind my eyes

Yes, my mind is in free fall

And no more am i your white knight

You’ve taken heavens call

How can i now stand upright

My emotions i can’t disguise

Because you are behind my eyes, yes, you are behind my eyes

So Glory Be (Lord Commission Me)

SO GLORY BE

(LORD COMMISSION ME)

By Andy Allchurch

Witness in the court of our father

The reasoning of faith

No rejection from salvation

When self exaltation a christian makes

Submission to our fathers will

The lord of all this earths creation

He offers a new Jerusalem to fill

With peace and love on his plantation

So glory be, lord commission me

To stand on holy ground

I’ll be upright for the world to see

I’m a servant of your industry renowned

So gory be, lord commission me

To the vineyards of belief

Where my grapes of wrath are set free

And the vine of life my relief

Fulfilment in the house of the lord

Is accomplished in prayer

The meek be satisfied

When the conscience has a care

Spirit of our fathers power

Enhances the passion for the greater good

Therein lies love in his high tower

And the glory that is faith understood

Open oneself to the guidance of god

Follow his holy wake

Let sin fall foul

Personify his art it’s our keepsake

Value our fathers good grace

For fellowship sincere and for honest ways

Foundation puts creation and patience in place

The meaning of life is thankgiving days

Lead us lord through the beautiful gate

Followers are now abundant

Disciples we’ve all become

We’re an army without armour except for faith

Stand tall on the mountain

Be a light for the world to see

True faith is what we must maintain

While holy homage is paid to thee

So glory be, lord commission me

To stand on holy ground

I’ll be upright for the world to see

I’m a servant of your industry renowned

So glory be, lord commission me

To the vineyards of belief

Where my grapes of wrath are set free

And the vine of life my relief
