Rick Elpers Poems

The avenue of words
Transpire between us easily
And electronically enjoys
A depth of reality
...

Just a glimpse have I been given
A taste to hold in memory
And you would think that's enough
As this on going life permeates
...

The ultimate life
To live without emotion
Desire or strife
Existence unknown to a future
...

The sun rises warm and golden
Gleaming into the bedroom window
Pulling out of a dream
Slipping away into a darkness
...

Violins play sweeping
Sounds that undulate
Causing my eyelids
to rise and fall with the music
...

Getting tired of routine
As it roots down deep
And whirls around me
At first creates support
...

Constantly hearing the voice
That sits within my brain
Ushering up the phrasing
That flutters my ego
...

I can no longer look at the photos
And see the love that was there
Memories now faded
Into the blur that became misery
...

One day after independence
I find dependence
Upon God for everything
Even unlimited to thoughts
...

Impatient hopeful tired
The limbs of the tree of life
Weigh heavy upon my soul
Often breaking off
...
