Dereck Gibbs Poems

You send me left
You go right
God I’m so confused
My trust abused
...

I love you
Oh god knows I do
This feeling you put me through
Euphoria long overdue
...

The words I speak
Rarely ever the ones I want to say
Living in my mind day to day
Afraid to speak cause im weak
...

If I told you
For this moment in time
You owned my mind
How would you feel?
...

My protector
My deliverer
The reason I live
The cause I die for
...

In a glasshouse
Stepping lightly
To avoid a complete travesty
A Tainting of this sanctuary
...

Sweet words tease my ears
So sweet so loving
Its like a sugar rush
Rushing to love
...

Staring at this book
Seeing letters make war
Grammatical beings massacred
I can’t make sense of it
...

Drifting listlessly
On a flow of dreams
I lie on my back
Staring at the sapphire blue sky
...

I pick up the phone
And it’s Russian roulette
The fear...the excitement.
The suspense is intoxicating.
...
