Arik Fletcher Poems

I am a creature of two halves,
A demon of angelic wing,
A siren to my fallen kin,
A song for damaged souls to sing.
...

There he waits, against the light,
A creature of the darkest night,
Watching me, with long intrigue,
I feel his pain, his great fatigue,
...

Searching for a life sublime,
lost within a world of crime,
few that reap though many sow,
few that give though many stow.
...

Sketch your life into my mind,
Fill the shadows with your pain,
Leave all troubled thoughts behind,
Here with me you’re safe again.
...

Snow and ice nowhere in sight,
A rainy night can't keep us down,
With fires warming heart and hearth,
We have no cause to sulk or frown.
...

The past is just behind us,
A shadow in our wake,
A chronicle of choices and decisions that we make.
...

I wander the world with the mask of a clown,
Determined to never reveal that I'm down,
The life of the party or so it would seem,
Disguising my sorrow as living the dream.
...

Two souls entwined across the years,
Their smiles outweigh the count of tears,
Their strength combined against their fears,
Til doubt forever disappears.
...

Today we greet a different sun,
To shine on you all through this day,
An orb of light made just for one,
To keep the world going your way.
...

have faith in what you know can be,
hope not for what you cannot see,
hear all the words the choir sings,
hold close your heart when love begins,
...
