Andy Brookes Poems

I wish i was made of steel
so that I didn't melt at your touch

I wish I was made of stone
...

Here is no self awareness, just a bundle of feeling,
felled trees with rotting stumps.
thoughts not unanimous. drifting dissonant anthems
a ticker tape of unreadable holes.
...

Kindness knows itself and is content.
love finds its way over obstacles.
spirit sometimes takes flight on Icarus wings.
broken hearts do repair
...

don't sail to near the sun if you can't take the heat
narcissists only look for your adoration, little moth,
sucking you dry, see the corpses at her feet
but he took no heed and too soon joined them
...
