Eddie Mitchell Poems

For everytime i grow weaker, for everytime i fail to be the speaker.
you are there waiting fo me to slip up, hoping that i will fail.
you laugh at my pain, you get your sadistic little kicks.
...

If you escape.
We loosen the grip of trust.
A Spider's web dances.
As the wind creates poetic lust.
...

Shall I hold you dear.
Can you hold on too?
Or shall I do all the work.
And see this through.
...

We will dance around.
Just once more.
All eye's will be on us.
As we float above the floor.
...

Im flying again.
Hold me down.
Time to reach the highest tower.
Find a Queen for this crown.
...

The Floral Patterns,
in your eyes.
Are a sandstorm to my brain,
the perfect disguise.
...

Say goodbye to the midnight rain
and welcome back the snow.
Let you words run through my ears.
Let the River's flow.
...

She breaks up with him
she tells you that she loves you but cannot see you.
she tells you that one day she will get over the other man.
...

So I'll suffer from these broken bones
The shattered mirrors of my mind.
My punishment is deserved.
I'll leave them behind.
...

Why sad, be happy and glad! !
Why be down turn that frown upside-down! !
Why be gloomy get a new roomy! !
