Shower Of Shame

Shower Of Shame

By Andy Allchurch

 

Early morning misgivings

About this life i’m living

Certain worries are on my mind

I’ve got that sinking feeling

When i wake up thinking

What was it that i left behind

 

Got no inspiration

The bottle my only salvation

Clouds are hanging over my head

I’m just a social outcast

My life has no contrast

Maybe i’m better off left for dead

 

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame

 

No loving feelings

For people or their dealings

Burdend to accommadate a broken heart

I’m somewhere i should’nt be

Lost in a drinking spree

Alone and left out in the dark

 

Wanton and weary

The drink calls to me

Humbled i bow to the grain

There is only one ending

And that is just depending

If from the bottle i can refrain

 

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame

 

Indefensible and indifferent

A down and out deviant

Walking in the shadows with fear

What a fool i’ve been

Missing out on loves scene

For the spirit i hold so dear

 

Wrathful and worthless

Am angry, but i’m useless

Values have crashed to the floor

My time is now spent

A fact that’s most evident

Whiskey has tainted me to the core

 

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame
 

Advance my destiny

Lord do not pity me

Destitution has now reached the extreme

I can’t pay the toll

I am drowning in alcohol

Let me go alfresco to dream

 

Headlong into death

And with my last breath

Pray for the love i left

Sorrow is in my heart

This chapter the final part

Of a man that’s been over bereft

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame.

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.

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
