Eric Gibson Poems

Between you and me...
I always wanted a woman
who I could read poetry and
share my omniscient sense
...

I juggle thick red carpenter pencils
between my fingers.
Only one cigarette today.
...

A sick lust
Stretching past seas and cell phone receptions,
With sleepy-eyed wings of dreaming.
...

Tell me enough,
Tell me with appealing definitions
Of the innate purity of the twenty-somethings
Who mill about you.
...

I smile sometimes,
Because she's everything that
Is beautiful;
Everything that I
...

I watched him and his
Notebook and
His skinny legs
Crossed at the knees.
...

I sometimes wished she would
cheat on me.
I'd sit with repulsive wishes,
'Maybe tonight...'
...

As long as sports are televised,
I'll always fear the highlights.
ESPN tires me.
...

I fear your pompous nature.
Yes, yours.
I fear that holy sword of criticism
You carry with savage
...

We all wait for words of
Love or pictures.
Refreshing web pages over and over
Waiting for bold-printed guests,
...
