Arik Fletcher Poems

Love is a heartache,
That will drive you insane,
But love is a shelter,
From the hatred and pain.
...

What is love but the voice of our heart,
Barely a whisper yet muse of all art.

What is life but a shadow of dreams,
...

Don't hold back, it never helps,
Because we need a fresh new start,

Don't come back, it only hurts,
...

Tell me that all hope is gone,
Show me that I have no one,

Chain and lock my body here,
...

Words abound, my mind a-clutter,
Like a swarm, they buzz and flutter,

Catching each one as they land,
...

Wolves, we walk amongst the sheep,
Draped in smiles that hide our fangs,
Cloaked in manners and good deeds,
All to hide our hunger pangs,
...

Creatures of angelic grace,
Hide their true demonic face,
Spreading out across the earth,
Further still with each new birth,
...

The sun is rising in the sky,
her tiny voice emits a cry,
her first look at the world around,
her mother's voice the only sound.
...

Gather round- dear friend and kin,
The day grows near- so close at hand,
A time of joy and love will reign,
Though nothing will go quite as planned.
...

Play me a tune and sing me a song,
Help me to learn so I can sing along,

Tell me a story that I can believe,
...
