Erik Poitras

I have a love for writing and reading. I began writing about 3 years ago and have enjoyed the journey that it continuously takes me on. I believe that my poems speak to the hurt, pain, hope, joy, sadness, loss, etc., that people experience in their waking and sleeping moments.

“hate | thirst,” “Sahara’s siren” and “release | remain”

for those that are tempted to drink from the fountain of hate
beware of that bittersweet nectar
even as it feels like honey running down your chin
you will realize its acidic burning nature
as it bores a trail into your soul
