Erika Wingo Poems

Tell me,
Is it summer?
I have not seen the sun for weeks
Although I've heard
...

I believe I saw your image moving quickly
To hide amongst the shadows along the wall,
Or were my eyes playing tricks on me?
I thought I heard your gentle voice
...

In the beginning
You make me feel so good
Like nothing or no one
Could ever bring me down
...

What will I do,
When you are gone
How will I force the breath
From my lungs
...

Your eyes twinkled through the pain
Your smile still somewhat bright
I sensed a growing distance between us
Clutching your hand as day turned into night
...

Even in the pain of
Here and now,
We must open our heart's
In acceptance
...

Someday, Somehow,
You'll remember me
And wonder where I've gone
You'll regret the times
...

You sound like
The rush of an Angel's wings
Taking flight
When you speak
...

I get this funny feeling
Every now and then
That I knew you
And you knew me
...

On the outside
Looking in
Always been hard
Fitting in
...
