Andrew Green's Poems

2FE4270A-59E9-4A55-9D72-F9C960DD12F8I look in the mirror
It isn’t me.
Where is the person
I’m meant to be?

I stare back at accusing eyes;
I swear the face in the mirror cries.
How did I earn the face I see?
Is this the person I meant to be?

It feels I’m leading another’s life
Who is that person, who is me?

Do fairytales come true?

Don’t Miss This Great Read – Do Fairytales Come True?

My little world

As a little girl, I grew up listening to fairytales; 💃🏻I grew up reading that for every damsel in distress, there was a Prince Charming🤴🏻, waiting to come riding on his ethereal white horse and save the poor lass. I fell in love with Cinderella, I cried with Snow White, I escaped with Rapunzel and I got lot with Aurora. Like a little girl’s mind would go, I believed , quite strongly, that “Someday my prince will come”🙇🏻‍♀️ , and I kept believing for quite a while. (Well, a part of me believes so even now, but let me come to that later 😅.)

Being quite a hopeless romantic🤷🏻‍♀️, it usually doesn’t take me long to get attached to someone. But just one time, only one time, in my twenty two years as a human, have I fallen madly in love with another…

Come see if you have “Scorched” memories?

Eyes + Words

“There’s things that

happen in a person’s life that

are so scorched in the memory

and burned into the heart that

there’s no forgetting them.”

– John Boyne

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

Killer Bee.

Come and enjoy this delightful piece “Killer Bee”

What's Inside a Madman's Hat?

Trapped between the curtains and glass

you can feel remorse for this honey bee,

earlier he did nothing but glance and pass

at no time was there a sign he’d hurt thee.

Funny how something the size of an acorn

can bring a grown man to his knees,

it’s really nothing more than a flying thorn,

you could pinch it in a tissue with ease.

Sure, if you’re allergic it could kill you

but the same could also go for a peanut,

leave him alone if you don’t want him to,

maybe next time you’ll keep the door shut.

So don’t kill the lil’ guy who’s just buzzing by

and happened to admire your flowers,

all because you’re embarrassed by how,

you’ve been screaming and flailing for hours.
