broken radio
Erian Rose Apr 2019
as the lyrics come to a pause
when the rhythm departs in the air
all is left is the broken radio
and tears dried as fair

tomorrow
Erian Rose Mar 2019
I see your pain
I see your sorrow
But what you don't see
Is there's always a tomorrow

night wishes
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I wish you could hear
my head at night
then you'd understand
what it's like

Only True
Erian Rose Jul 2019
You in my arms
Is all that is ever true
Under the everlasting blue
479 · Apr 2019
4:00 am
Erian Rose Apr 2019
And you still flood over my mind...
A message to the first person who leaks into my mind every nightfall and daybreak, who still manages to curve a smile across my face when all I want to do is drown.

Echo
Erian Rose Apr 2019
When I saw you with her
I realized that you forgot about me...
We never were anything
But a distant echo in the wind...
478 · Sep 2019
a space between spaces
Erian Rose Sep 2019
the space between
a sea of stars
dancing high
gliding far

the space between
a world
full of scars
stitched together in my heart

a space between
the unknown and true
leaving me restless
leading me straight to you

but a space between spaces
wasn't that far
for us to cross borders
on runaway stars

the space between spaces
isn't that far

Hurricanes
Erian Rose Sep 2019
Your poison seeps into my veins
Crashing in like hurricanes

Every bone numbs and shakes
By the sound of your name

When you see my face in scattered rains
You end those hurricanes
465 · Oct 2019
an early Christmas
Erian Rose Oct 2019
Snowflakes glistened in the evening snow
Is it already Christmas?

Trees blanketed in the white powder
People all around walking hand-in-hand
While snowballs soared over the gentle sun

Icicles hung in a shimmery glaze
Candycorn turning to candy canes
holiday wrapping hitting the shelves
And stores decked out in reds and greens

Is it already Christmas?
Your crystal eyes gleam under the mistletoe
I couldn't help but smile and hope
That this is true

Is it already Christmas?

Starless moon
Erian Rose Mar 2019
In the light of the day
The burning seizes to sting
As the night shadows
You're the only thing on my mind

The world revolves faster
When the night rises in stars
And my hand in yours

Looking over
The burning still pains
The beauty dims away
As the sun rises in the morning

Your eyes hover
With the light of a starless moon.
461 · Mar 2019
Hurting
Erian Rose Mar 2019
From the tears that fall
To the pounding wall
Nothing stings more
Then the hurting inside
457 · Feb 2020
light in the night
Erian Rose Feb 2020
Together
We can make it through
Push past the rough, face our fears
Runaway from here
Make our own light in the darkness
And live our lives
No matter how far apart we are
We can make it through
Together

mapmaker
Erian Rose May 2020
Her palm was a guide
lightning bugs stitched in the stars
454 · Mar 2019
Fireflies
Erian Rose Mar 2019
Fireflies flicker in the midnight
Casting light like a flashlight
Fluttering around the open fields
Calling out to each other in hope
Their light gleams throughout the night
Making paths across the darkness
For others to follow in the daylight rays
As beautiful as they are
Nothing compares to you
We'll help each other past the dull skies
Shining as brightly
As the fireflies
450 · Apr 2019
Let me
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I care for you
Don't you see?
I love you more than
limitlessly
Please, let me...
I don't mind
If you hurt me...

Rolling Hills
Erian Rose Nov 2019
Somewhere across the stars,
Racing in the night,
I saw your face as it beamed back at me,
Rolling upon the hills so high.
We'll take flight someday,
As we soar through the fields of butterflies,
A song dancing in the night,
While watching the stardust in your eyes.
Something about the way you smile,
When the mountains tumble by your window.
It's you and me forever
This frosty midnight.
PUBLISHED POEM
Will be published in late June by the Live Poets Society of NJ

from across the room
Erian Rose Sep 2019
maybe someday
we'll find each other
making wishes
and counting stars

when we lookup
watching the moon
maybe we'll see one another
with all our flaws
all our scars
all our broken promises
all our fears

maybe someday
we'll find each other
making wishes
and counting stars

i love you for who you are
there's no where else i'd rather be
than in your arms

Forever with You
Erian Rose Mar 2020
Kisses don't compare
To all the little things we do
Singing in the car
Holding hands
Dancing in the kitchen

The little moments last forever
With you
432 · Nov 2019
We were kids
Erian Rose Nov 2019
We were kids then
racing far and wide
Our imagination captured the moon
Chasing stars like fireflies

We held our pinkies
As we watched the meteor shower that eventide
Counting down the days
Till the constellations caught our eyes

We were kids then
loving a day as if forever
The universe had no chance
Against our star-crossed, endless kiss

We were kids
Connecting the galaxies into place
But now we're older
And the puzzles in the sky don't stand a chance
428 · Apr 2019
Breathe
Erian Rose Apr 2019
As the morning light seeped
Amongst the sky
The Moon fled
Until it faded below the horizon
Risking his life for the Sun.

When the Sun arose
She painted the atmosphere
Layering it with
reds, oranges, pinks, purples
To give her praise
For her love
That he would return another day.
When they both
could breathe.

Universe in a bottle
Erian Rose Jul 2019
I write the notes
Every day
Looking up
At what never be

I write the notes
Hoping you’d see
Capture the universe
Flying away

I write the universe
Every day
Dreaming upon the stars
Every word a stray

Catching the stars like fireflies
Filling bottle by bottle
I can only hope you’d see
My little universe in a bottle
I’ll give to you someday
422 · May 2020
Streetlights
Erian Rose May 2020
Under the streetlights
on the corner of 11th
autumn turned into showers
your pupils reflected
seasons becoming racing beats
hours stumbling out of reach

Drunken Love
Erian Rose Sep 2019
You let me fall when I trusted you
Not that I can’t blame you
You knew too well how I felt
By crushing my heart while I was asking for help
You notice me, I know
Turning your head every now and again
Don’t you ever wonder what goes on in my head?
Or do you just want to look at a person,
Crumbled in your reach?

I get it...
You mean well
Shining in the spotlight
While I’m sunken below
Drunk on a useless thought
That’ll you’ll be the light at the end of the tunnel.
416 · Mar 2019
Falling
Erian Rose Mar 2019
We fall
Not wanting to let go
Remembering the moments
Where nothing meant forever

We fell
Helping our broken hearts mend
In the silence of the day
Before we dreamed back under again

We're falling
We're always falling

Constellation of Flowers
Erian Rose May 2020
He'd give her the constellations
bound amid every flower
to hold her close

Promise
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I'll hold your hand
When times get rough
Cause I'll always be here
When you feel like you're not enough
I promise

Haven
Erian Rose Apr 2019
In the darkest days and brightest nights,
You're there for me when no one is.
Your smile a cure for every ache.
As the war continues,
You're the safe haven I turn to.
410 · Mar 2019
Heartbeat
Erian Rose Mar 2019
To the rhythm of a drum
My heart races
pounding in love
whenever we meet face to face

A swirl of happiness swirls through
While sparks fly inside
No matter how broken
My heart beats for you
407 · Apr 2019
not so secret admirer
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I'll tie the loose strings
Around the glass bottle
Slip in the letter
And throw it out to the sea
Hoping someday you'll read it
With my name scribbled at the edge

Your not so secret admirer
Erian
406 · Oct 2019
Your Smile
Erian Rose Oct 2019
Your smile
It's something that no one else can compare

Your laughter
It brings out my worries and pains

If only you knew how much
You make my stomach flutter

I can't help it
Falling for your smile
404 · Nov 2019
Them
Erian Rose Nov 2019
They watched each other’s footprints tremble against an entangled bliss, captured in fond devotion of those they wished to miss. The sirens rang but they whose hearts crumbled down their walls. Different lengths as the story did sing. Their melody’s patching from the grasp in the moonlit dawn.
Nothing as though sang the same, as their fervor drew them at the closest reach. A notice so unseen, depth by emotions too far to be unscathed.
Unnoticeable, as they, farther and farther as the weakening sun.
Broken hearts waiting for them, but mended into one.
402 · Nov 2018
ocean
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
401 · Dec 2018
Ever After
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

Born a Poet
Erian Rose May 2020
I was born a poet
forever-be
before I realized
I was sneaking behind
plastered brick walls
at recess bells
transforming the world
into words
spilling ink pens dry
I was born a poet
I embraced beauty,
enfolded magic,
encased the man on the moon,
tracing bare sentences
amidst pure wonder
until their final moments
till they cried
the truths of neverland
upon the immense star clusters
I am a poet
391 · Jul 2019
Butterflies
Erian Rose Jul 2019
butterflies still ring
at the thought of your name
flowers aren’t the same
without you beside me
you give me butterflies
creating fireworks in my heart
i wish I told you sooner
but now we’re right back to the start
385 · Apr 2019
last day
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Do you ever wonder what it would be like
If everything ended at a simple tic?
What would you do
If it was the last day?
For now,
I don't know.
384 · May 2019
You makin' me go
Erian Rose May 2019
You makin' me go
no no no no no

night wishes #2
Erian Rose Apr 2019
If you heard my head
you'd know what's right
because you're the only thing
that won't let me sleep at night

Stars & Sea
Erian Rose Apr 2019
She found peace
Embraced in his arms.

She told him the universe
So that the moon could hear her smile.

As they intertwined their fingers
Under the moonlight
It felt like the world
Was coveting them forever.

She was stardust
Falling to quickly
For a boy she cherished
Longing in her heart.

He was the sea
Reflecting her love
Unending and full
Yearning from the start.

They never left each other
Through the troubles life threw
For they knew that they
Were worth the billions of lightyears away.

Before they divided
Into separate ways
They watched the sunset bud
Upon the skies haze.

On the final day
The stars kissed the sea
Wishing goodbye.

They would meet up again
Someway.

Erian Rose Mar 2019
I've never told you
How much I love you.

Rollercoaster
Erian Rose Nov 2018
Loving you,
Is like the sun burning into the horizon
The flicker of a lighted match
A roaring gust a wind
only waiting to push us over
And a color shown as pure
as a puff of smoke
We're nothing as an intertwine
But mangled souls in opposite directions
Loving you,
When we meet eye to eye
All we see
Are roller coasters
On an endless journey
To a place where we never fell
Where the rollercoaster leads
We find ourselves
Never truly loving each other.
368 · Apr 2019
Only Forever
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Till time slows
Or if the last of the
Stars drift away
I'll love you
  ~
I wish I could see you
Face to face
We could talk the day away
And in the dark of the daylight
We can fix our broken pieces
I'll love you
Only forever
~
You're always on my mind
When I'm with a friend
Or a stranger
In the end
I'll always remember
The times we spent together
~
I'll love you
Only forever

Let's make this our escape...

You Don't Remember
Erian Rose Apr 2019
You don't remember
how I had ran
You don't remember
how I didn't say a word
You don't remember
the pain you gave me
You don't remember
how I left
You don't remember
the words I repeated
You don't remember
who I am
You don't remember
how I searched for you
You don't remember
all the denials...

You don't remember
how many times I've lied to you...
Because I still love you...
And you don't remember...
A poem of some memories..I'm willing to share...
357 · Nov 2018
Eyes
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
356 · Apr 2019
empty skies
Erian Rose Apr 2019
No matter how many times I think
It would be better off with you gone
I know I'm just lying to myself
I could never live without you
As a friend or a lover
You mean so much to me
That even you couldn't comprehend
Because without you
The sky would be empty
You're the only love I need
356 · May 2020
Constantly In Motion
Erian Rose May 2020
We saw a world
bruised and beautiful
The world kept moving forward
constantly in motion
while ours fell apart
348 · Apr 2019
Pulse
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Hearts beat
To the weight of a drum
With a steady beat
Against our palms
You're all I see
In the light of the day
Our pulse thumping
All in one
348 · Apr 2019
Blinded
Erian Rose Apr 2019
If I could tell you how much
You make my heart pound each day
I would lose sight of the Earth
You blinded me
From who I could be
