Eric Elliott Poems

I hear her speak to me
her voice oh so happy

when she looks at me I see her eyes filled with desparate glee...
...

I sit in darkness waiting for you
If I could have you, it would be a dream come true

Though it seems I have waited hundreds of years for you
...

Follow me if you please
into the land of ill ease
cold is the bitter breeze
a lost land all it sees
...

Help
the light has faded
the path ends
and nothingness begins
...

Once there was a boy
sitting on the steps of an old building
people passed by all the time but never did the boy move
he sat thinking of a girl from his class
...

Sink away the memory
sink away love
drown out passion
drown out patience
...

I look left
look right
see all
in sight
...

Bleeding eyes
shredded heart
a crimson smile
comes across his face
...

Storm clouds darken the land
the rain that falls not only in my hand
but over the graves of all man
...
