Arik Fletcher Poems

A species long removed from beast,
yet in the way we walk and feast,
our origins can still be found,
despite belief we're somehow crowned.
...

Cleared of truth and history,
By my insecurity,
Left here with no heart to show,
Zoomed out from all that I know,
...

Farewell to you, my loving friend,
For all good times must have an end,
To bridge the gaps, all wounds to mend,
To you these words I truthfully send,
...

Falling out of nature’s plan,
Creatures not worthy of sight,
Given more than they could need,
Seeking out another fight,
...

Five turrets guard my outer wall,
Defining that which makes me whole,
Illusion, Love, Faith, Truth, and Self,
The guardians that guide my soul,
...

No clouds tonight- the sky so clear,
Standing here with no one near,
Dreaming of a future time,
Waiting for you to be mine,
...

Snow and ice upon the ground,
Festive songs the only sound,
Signs of magic all around,
Christmas waiting to be found.
...

Sadness fills his lonely heart,
As they kiss and drift apart,
Nothing left where once was love,
Lost within the stars above,
...

This rage that burns beneath my skin,
This shadow over all my kin,

This cloud that hangs above my mind,
...

Love, the master of my soul,
Guide my hand and take control,
See in me all that you crave,
Ever shall I be your slave,
...
