Erian Rose Dec 2018
A lost glass slipper
Shouldn't mean a broken heart
A locked door
Upon the highest peaks of a castle
Shouldn't mean locking yourself away
The bullseye shone brightly of an arrow
Shouldn't lead to running away
It's the ever after that counts
Everything else before
Everything after
Whether you choose your own path
Which always tends to be the case
Just know you're not the only one
Longing for freedom
Cause remember
This is your Happily Ever After
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Like an ocean
Our love reaches depths
Depths farther any mankind could go
We act as if we are kids
Riding on a Ferris wheel round and round
Or skidding in the snow
Packing crystals into spheres
Hitting the fabrics of each other
Its endless in our depths
Drawing pictures in the sand
Taking the dive into these waters
Wondering what it will be like years later
Deep in the depths
Of our ocean
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Sweet and solemn
Tender and blue
A sparkle of night
And a love so bright
If nothing else could be true
A mist among the water
To the eyes of a dove
When I see you
You're all of the above
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Paint with true color
Trace in bold strokes
Hold each closely
For you alone can see
Beauty is hidden deep inside
Every line and stroke you make
So observe where you stride
Skipping over each other line
What you find in these vibrant tones
Might lead you to a path
All your own
Erian Rose Nov 2018
In the coldness of the day
A frigid breeze swirls past
The trees covered in frozen crystals
And hands that hold as cold as ice
When your heart is mended
Tapped and glued
The frost melts it away
While the fire boils
And embers burn to ashes
The frost conceals all in glasses
Stiff and lifeless in its grasp
If only the frost could render a damaged life
Because frost isn't as powerful
As the sleet that shivers a windshield
Erian Rose Nov 2018
From the mirror window
What do you see?
From broken glass
And fallen dreams
What do you see?
The moon shines brightly in the nights
Where the stars glow past the darkened flow
The hollows whose bark falls apart
Landing upon a chill cold ground
What do you see?
In a window light
Shining brighter as ever
Leaving a path past the midnight
And a bird's crooked crow
What do you see
When you stare ever blankly
Through the shattered window?
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Drowning, Drowning
In a pool of water
The sun against the sky
Everything splashes
Like waves trapped in a bottle
Pounding like a beating heart
torn apart from torn again
Drowning, Drowning
In darkened sands
Drowning, Drowning
In a place that never stands
