Rick Elpers Poems

Yet today I'm overcome
Still at the disappearance 
Of your need  in my life
Even at such a distance 
...

Having been trapped in a physical
Universe for sometime now 
Wrestling, suffering love and the lack of it.
I can't help but notice the dicotomy between
...

Love binds god and hell
Into the human equation
A fallen nature is our curse
A relation with god
...

In the early beginning
Of day I await words that
Will either bring sorrowful
Relief of the end or gladness
...

For what do I conjure love
As it brings strife 
To unlearned souls
Living in a fallen world
...

To wish of death
Causes a circle of misery
That diminishes the outlook
Expectation and introduction
...

I'm going to die soon
At my own hand
No more reasons
To stay living
...

The morning's loneliness
Cold crisp air
Faded sun shine
A pallor spread within
...
