The Path I Chose

I'm lonely
surrounded by people and lonely
what is this?
am I insane?
I'm never lonely

thirsty for talk
I want someone to talk to me
talking lays you open
what's wrong with me?
I don't like to talk

wanting to be trusted
but I don't trust
how can I ask for something I

Breathless

Eyes set on a goal ahead
the destination visible
but how to get there?
conflicting voices
harsh whispers
encouraging words
a blurry line between perception and reality
barely dividing the two
and I must find where it lies
Those who claim to be my allies
one by one they slit my throat
I bleed less

Rest right here in the safety of our bed
And I'll whisper pillowy words thread by thread.

The solid oak fixed to the iron rails
Are my promises not some fairy tales.

If drafting doubts invade our secret place
My skin's silky sheets will keep you safe.

See lights in our expansive

A Dream from FFX

Your face...

it fills my clouded realm of desire
A mirage vivid in a misty dream
tainted with a spark of reality's fire
burning in your eyes the sun's regime...

...your touch...

an illusion evoking heavenly bliss
in the depths of my soul Eden's caress
Your essence a relic upon innocent lips
immortal but

Bonds Unbroken; Bonds Created

Here am I
in this new and dangerous world
this place
where people live
under oppression
and poverty
this place
where the sands
and dictators
and terrorists
dominate
this place
always at unrest
exhausted from years
of struggle
years of hate...
yet and still
they fight on.
There is home
across vast expanses
of Earth

I am so... thirsty
This is my need:
cut me now
let me bleed
They won't allow me
to lay open my skin
That which begs to flow freely
imprisoned within
I thirst from without
My blood longs to be sapped
Its beauty is hidden
inwardly trapped
a red river invisible
waiting to

Light of Hope (Eric's Poem)

This ugly reality takes its toll
on a young heart
ever growing in strength and wisdom
but still in likeness of a child
A piece of your life shattered
a part of you torn away
emptiness...
What can fill this void?
The golden sun that was
her being
has set
You look to the horizon

Force For Good (redo)

I'm dating this lady

and it feels so strange.

She's like a super hero

from a video game;

Her legs are strong

her hair's real nice.

She's got a warrior's soul

and a heart of ice.

Ask what she does

you know  it's understood.

She's no friend of evil

she's a force for good


Someday we'll marry

and she'll be all mine

except when she's out

saving the world from crime.

I'll tend

I see him in reflective surfaces
and I can't help but to follow
I see him credit card receipts
and I can't help but to follow
I see him in napkin poetry
and I can't help but to follow
Follow him on lyrical sojourns
Follow him into fits of joy
Follow him

Spring Morning

A soft mellow star ascends the horizon
            a sphere of flaming serenity; the grace of morning reflected
in the face of a lily’s femininity.

The Milky Way deluges the sky above
            a nocturnal river evanescent; draining into
a crystalline eternal blue sea beneath a fading silver crescent.

In the soul of

          I stopped writing you poems

           and you don't even notice.

           words needing destination

           thoughts burning into choruses of sentiment

           gazed upon by deaf eyes

           eyes distracted

           looking beyond my phrase

           into self reflecting mirrors

           in other worlds.

If I was A Dog

If I was a dog

you'd still love me

You wouldn't put me out

alone at night

If I was a dog

you'd still pat me

on the head

If I was a dog

it'd be all right


But I ain't a dog

I'm a man

And that was why

it had to end

There's just one thing

I don't
