Eric Pennington Poems

I've finally found 'The one',
The one who makes me smile when I see her,
The one who makes my heart melt when I look into her eyes,
The one who gives me butterflies,
...

I try so hard,
Yet it still come short.
I have good intentions to help,
I try to talk, even exhort.
...

I wish I could write you the best poem ever.
I want to write something you would cherish forever.
A poem that would take your breath away.
A poem that you would think about everyday.
...

Thank you Lord for everything you've done for me.
Thank you for everything that will be.
Thank you for calming my heart in times of sorrow.
Thank you for making me a better person for tomorrow.
...

2 weeks of fear, knowing what is to come.
Knowing that soon, all we worked for, will be gone.
That every word we said, will soon be forgotten.
Moving on with our lives, thinking of what could've been.
...

Why do things have to be so hard on me?
I take things a lot harder than it should be.
I've put on a face as though all is well.
But really, my life has been hell.
...

When will you show your face to me?
Please don't make me get down on my knees.
It's been 20 years now, and I've still not seen your face.
I'm beginning to think that I have lost the race.
...

I now see what you made me believe,
You built a wall of lies for me to conceive.
You made your intentions look pure
I see now, that you leaving is the cure
...

Before I met you, I knew only of your beauty...
Now that I've got you, your everything to me...
You make me smile when I see your face, and make my heart beat at a faster pace...
When you kiss me you make my heart melt, if only I could explain the feeling that I felt...
...

I am of a rare breed.
I wonder how many others are like me.
Who will do anything to be loved,
But fails, and falls from above.
...
