Michael Ernst Poems

For you, My Queen, I have returned
Your chosen knight again I wish to be
It's been a long perilous journey
Will you grant this wish I ask of thee
...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words
Same for a tattoo, would'nt you agree?
Most are inked for showing off
But some are not for others to see
...

She appears each night in my sleep
And pledges our love she will always keep
Then the sun arrives and I begin to weep
Another endless empty day I wait for sleep
...

I see no perfect you
I see no perfect me
But perfect together
That I can see
...

The extent or amount of space between two things
That's how Webster's describes it to me
So I imagine an almost infinite span
Or an area between two tiny points I can't even see
...

When love has wept for too long
It loses sight of dreams once held dear
For you see love is not blind
It just can't see through tears
...

I sit in a vast darkness
That once was a home
Heart aching for her
Yet here I'm alone
...

A heart is a vase
Love is a flower we put in the vase
Passion is the water for the flower
But romance, respect, trust, and commitment
...

Her blue eyes beckoned
My fate sealed with a glance
Surrendered my soul willingly
My heart stood not a chance
...
