darling nymphs attack
on the delinquent wings
of another man's crimes
but all I have
is memories of a hooded self
and I have boils,
now that I'm
scarred straight
sticking like goo
to the towering spires
and lost in a million
sparkling tiles
but fortune beguiles
I saw the lights
of an ancient city
that paints the sky
emblazoned with gray they were
with giant, sparkling blacks
I lost myself in these,
the eyes
of my darling friends
that spy
whimpering for freedom
they took me home
saved me from doom
delivering me
free and welcomed
as a child
of an absolute and certain God

About Me
- Eric Michael Gibson
- Eric Gibson is an Baltimore, MD recording artist who writes, performs and produces his own unique brand of Alternative music. Eric was born in Richmond, VA, and raised in the mean streets of Gainesville, FL. He has been playing guitar, a variety of stringed instruments and keyboard since the early 90's. He has performed music, theatrical poetry readings, and performance art in venues all over Florida, DC, and Virginia.
His first exposure to Alternative music was when he was 13 after his parents gave him the Pixies album Bossanova they had gotten off of a subscription service. They had given it to him as a means of discarding it, but after hearing this strange new music Eric immediately decided he wanted to play guitar. After pleading with his parents they purchased a 30 dollar acoustic guitar at an Art Festival. When he had proven his natural ability, eagerness and willingness to learn he was given an electric guitar for Christmas the following year. He still uses the same guitar to record to this day.
