Andy Wood Poems
I walk towards the fire and sing
Of summers gone and distant spring
Of lands of gold and places new.
I still love you.
...
I sweat in the blazing sun
So as to keep cool,
That I may offer you shade.
Even though our love disappears as a mirage.
...
Hope lies dead on the red carpet -
Fame has claimed it's sacrifice and
It's not a pretty sight.
Right place at the right time
...
Layer upon layer of narratives
Tripping switches to new levels
Sickened and reeling with realization.
We are at the centre of it all.
...
The secret is locked deep within my heart.
In the place where the end will start.
What you find will tear the world apart.
Is it a number, a science, an art?
...
Feel that energy that courses
Through our bodies
Whenever our spirit divorces us
From the grim realities -
...
Why did you embrace me
Knowing it could kill me?
Holding me so sweetly
Giving love so freely.
...
When love turns inside out
Because it is so vast
That the world cannot cope
It destroys you.
...
Was there ever anything there at all
When you said those words that made me glow?
Now you say nothing and I fall
And you just don't want to know.
...
Third hand news always cuts the mustard.
Third hand news always turns the screw.
Third hand news switches on the spotlight.
Third hand news is the one for you.
...
The words are spoken.
My life is ruined evermore -
My love is crying on her bed and
My heart is broken on the floor.
...
The stress is sickening as
Doors creak open and slam shut.
I have blinded myself with vision
And see so much
...
Last of a long line-
Reached the end,
Outside of time.
Stopped and looked back
...
Masters of the Hour,
I behold a regimented empire
Of chainless cycles, pointless principles.
...
Fabrics break into strands,
Ands fall away to dark,
The last threads in my hands,
I cannot tie back together.
...
On a high horse again,
Or is it just a hobby?
Where should we go -
After the moor?
...
Andy Wood Biography
After years of meandering about doing various unfulfilling jobs, a bit of eco-activism, a degree in geography, travelling round Britain and lots of hanging out playing guitar and drinking with friends, living in a squat working as a co-director of a successful workers co-op. Some of the stuff that I posted here was written when I was living up a tree (In a little tree-house) on a protest site. It is pretty naive and quite influenced by alcohol and the amazing people I was working with, some of whom I miss loads. The later stuff is by contrast a lot less idealistic and probably more negative, but still fairly cosmically(! ?) inclined. I generally write this stuff just to get it out of my head and some of it makes a lot more sense years afterward when I can see it as a more basic snapshot of how I was feeling at the time with all the imagery stripped away. My latest poems are consciously about relationships and friends with the occasional lunge at religion, politics and big business. I don't think I'm a poet any more than anyone else in the world so please take these writings as what they are. Reflections of my character at particular points in time. Nothing more.)
The Best Poem Of Andy Wood
I Still Love You
I walk towards the fire and sing
Of summers gone and distant spring
Of lands of gold and places new.
I still love you.
When cold winds blow the driving snow
I won't let go, I won't get low,
I know that when this winters through
I'll be with you.
My life is gone, my years passed by
My aching heart and dimming eye
Remember days and hours I knew
When I held you.
I close the book, put out the light
And disappear into the night
But still remain as lovers do
A part of you.
And though my mind is lost in sleep
Despite the black, eternal deep
I will forever be the one who's
There with you.
So when the all become the one
And planets fall toward the sun
The greatness of a life anew
Begins with you.
Beyond the veil, across the sea
Through deepest dark serenity,
I shall remain forever true.
I still love you.
