Eric Cockrell Poems

one single unidentified
dropp of water in a unnamed ocean...
reflecting both light and darkness,
driven by the tides to lap
...

since primeval times...
man has gathered in tribes,
offering blood sacrifices
to what we fear most!
...

that which we long for most...
the cup of communion!
naked souls sharing thoughts
on the bridge to eternity.
...

fire comes from the crotch of darkness...
darkness comes from the tongue of god.
what we see, smell, and taste...
are but curtains on the window!
...

the tongue stuck...
on the inner thigh
of desire,
...

i believe...
that all men and women
are created equal...
equal in worth, dignity,
...

i believe...
in open hands, open minds,
and open hearts.
that the banning of books is wrong.
...

i believe...
that eternity is right now, ,
in the awareness of the moment
that a man is no more
...

i believe...
in unlimited passion,
in touching, tasting,
and smelling,
...

only if your lips bleed
when you speak,
and your hand trembles
just a bit.
...
