Arik Fletcher Poems

Like sunshine burning in your eyes,
whilst staring up into the skies,

Like raindrops beating at your skin,
...

what maketh rain and shadow fall,
what maketh nature heed its call;

what maketh day to follow night,
...

Don’t despair, my saddened friend,
This place is not where you will end,
For life will bring all you desire,
Once you’ve learnt all you require,
...

Find me when I hide from truth,
Show me how to spend my youth,

Take me back to darker times,
...

So little done, so much to do,
so little time for me and you,

so little left, so much behind,
...

A tear for you, my distant friend,
The bond we share will never end,
One day, I know, we'll meet again,
Although I know not how or when.
...

Silhouette against the wall,
Crimson lips from shadows call,
Shapely curves and scented hair,
Lust and longing fill the air,
...

hearts combined before their birth,
two souls entwined beyond this earth,
together through the trail of years,
in balance by their hopes and fears,
...

Truth is often far from sight,
Truth is seldom without blight,
Truth is in the dark of night,
Truth is in the hand of right,
...

We spend our days in motion,
Lost in a haze of chores,
Forever racing forward,
Just counting up the scores.
...
