Arik Fletcher Poems

alone I walk the streets at night,
alone I pray to end this life,
alone I am, alone I stay,
alone I live, in endless strife,
...

a time to cheer, a time to cry,
a time to live, a time to die,
a time to sleep, a time to wake,
a time for real, a time for fake,
...

These shades of long forgotten dreams,
in memories long ripped at the seams,

Through dormant thoughts within my mind,
...

Each born a mass of jaggered shards,
soon scattered like so many cards,
as through the years each piece is turned,
and joined or to the void returned,
...

73LL M3 UR 53CR375,
73LL M3 UR CR1M35,
73LL M3 480U7 UR 600D & 84D 71M35.
...

Smile for me and I’ll be yours,
souls entwined cross distant shores,

Dream of me and I’ll be free,
...

Staring at this blank page,
Such a contrast to my mind,
The emptiness of one all that the other wants to find.
...

Incomplete right from the start,
An empty space within each heart,
Two souls without some vital part,
Forever doomed to live apart.
...

Silence the anger and swallow the pride,
stifle the scream and keep it inside.

Focus the feelings that eat at your soul,
...

Love is not a shade of skin,
Nor can it ever be a sin,
It has no form nor written guide,
But comes instead from deep inside.
...
