Book Cover & Preview Text
For some reason, I don’t even try to hide it
I cry my tears, I sweat my blood, I live my life all in that moment
For hours I sit waiting for some sign of life even if it’s just a whisper
I get what I so desperately waited to receive
At barely audible levels you tell me that you love and care for me
It’s kind of hard to decipher what you are saying because of the long gasp
That you must take so that the oxygen tank can refill your lungs
I’m not ready to listen to words and I
thought I was ready to be here
But my eyes cry rivers and you are almost drowned in my lake of sorrow
You tell me not to cry and to remain strong and for the first time in my life
I believe that I am a failure because I can’t stop my own actions
But for you, I’ll try
So I stand up a little
I breathe in a lot
And I think to myself
I am me, you are you, life is life
No one can change the cycle of birth, life and death other than God himself
And at this time, he is telling me…
All good things must…FADE 2 BLACK

About the Book
Written over the course of three years, "Deceased Thoughts From A Living Mind," is a poetic journey through out the dark and complex mind of Eli Riché. More than just relying on other people and their experiences, most of these poems come straight from his own head.
"There comes a time when we, as human beings, must realize that life has more to offer than joy and pain. It has words and legacies that need to be expressed and fulfilled. Life gives us sensations and complexities that wash over our soul like energy untouched. I feel like it's my goal, my job, my desire to share these energies with you. I want you to be able to touch them with tongue, with mind and with spirit."
