Erik Gillette Poems

The flowers are dying
and while they try to buy more time
we are ever watching
waiting for the time to come when they just give up
...

Have you sat in darkness and heard the silence around?
Its as though it engulfs you
a place of utter terror
Silence pierces your ears swiftly leaving you unknowingly deaf
...

Watching grass grow seems not so exciting
but it induces such nail biting...
how can you not see the great joy
brought to eyes by the grass that no toy can ever give
...

Light shines in darkness
and although you no longer see
you forget what you must do to be..
to be you.
...

A mirror shows a man his soul
who sees himself being pulled
he no longer recognizes himself
for he finds himself no longer engulfed by the fire within.
...

We wonder often what it means to be free
free of shackles
of chains
of oppression
...

between him and his home is something called life
it eats at him
causes much strife
and he fall lower each day
...

there is that constant knocking at the door to my mind
a reminder of what a bind i am in
that fateful sin that wants its way into my life
to give me a knife
...

Friendship is like that flower that bloomed from no where
mysterious
yet beautiful
Friendship is a battle
...
