Lurking Manifestation - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

It's been so long since the thoughts focused upon the angelic perfection.
Looking around at the meat and personas,
thinking about possibilities and future meetings.
Happy with the single life,
I ventured on throughout the days.
Tonight my heart pumped love again out of assumedly lost and buried places,
causing me to wonder why I didn't follow my heart from the very beginning.

WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO

I need to forget.
I want to live in mutual love with her
Walk the world hand in hand forever
Have picnics make love and rule the world together
But she can't even imagine being with me again
Stuck until I die in the frame of the friend
Yet this love and fondness is still strongly there
Dreaming that we could go back to the way we were

NEVER AGAIN MY UNLUCKY FRIEND

Clear the bong all night long forget the wrong
Drain thoughts with song so far from song

Throw myself into a wall, hear the vodka's numbing call
Spin like a top down the stairs I now fall
Trying to destroy my mind and forever erase it all
