Heatherlee Eldridge Poems

Lately when asked,   how are you I respond with words no longer living.

passion, romance, affection, acceptance
...

Know me
how could you know me
this wall, so big, gigantic it seems
with each brick I built this wall around me
...

I fly so high euphoric I'd say
with manic Marilyn leading the way
Sex and seduction Marilyn climbs
she's out of control for weeks at a time
...

I wrote this for you...

Do you understand
My heart my love
...

I was born on August 25th
so that makes me a Virgo
I have no idea what that actually means
I am 5ʼ6"
...

My depression is a shapeshifter
One day it's as small as a firefly in the palm of a bear
The next it's the bear
On those days I play dead until the bear leaves me alone
...

light
dark...
light
dark...
...

You are the blood in my veins,
the beat within my heart,
the rhythm to my body,
and the spark within my soul.
...

fear
paralyzing pain
rage refrain
heart slain
...
