E Poem by John Duffy

E

Within time
Whispered Mister E

You will need me more
As you slowly turn
Father's Times Books
Full of pages

Your memories
May slowly fade

As shades cloud your
Mortality

As you
Year by year
Unfortunately age

But I will stay

A scent
Letters
Pictures

And within them

I am reborn

For
I am the trigger
In your sleeping gun

Although
The world may slowly
Turn dark

Although you
Maybe

Lonesome
Happy
Godless
Faithful
Meek
Or
Strong

I am but one of the many
Silent gatekeepers

To majestic empires
And dark keeps

So look in the mirrors and see

Can you feel me

See that beautiful reflection
In those mesmerising eyes

That's me
