Steven Elsner Poems

Here lies the American Dream,
Replaced with sin, dashed hopes, plots and schemes.
Here lies what our forefathers died for,
What so many honest folk tried for.
...

I've a shield of Vibranium,
And my target is the crimson cranium.
Born into a life of the mundane,
Until I was in the Army, contained.
...

Heroes won't exist
As long as hesitancy persists
No capes will flow
If our willingness to accept doesn't show
...

There is a feeling I can't refuse
A love I won't abuse
For without you I'm sure the sun wouldn't rise
This love is such a surprise
...

A lone hero walks this Earth
He's been wandering since birth
He fights with unwavering determination
For the simple conservation
...

Clear away the dust and rubble,
Get through the rough and tumble,
Unto something undefined, something genuine,
So your new life can be refined, and begin again.
...

I love you!
You make me feel brand new
Even the simplest word said
Is enough to drive me out of my head
...

If only to be a superhero
I would help all I could
Instead of being a zero
Being better than I should
...

Rain drops come crashing down
Our steps in sync with the pitter patter
Thunderous roars fill the air
Our laughter quells the noise
...

Stranger in the night
Telling me everything will be alright
Stranger in the night
Making my smile shine ever so bright
...
