Fields flood high of corn stalks
As we drove along with the country roads
Leaves splattered pathways in a vibrant tint
Electrifying the crisp air around us
Pumpkins grinned softly
Nesting in beds of acorn heads

Fall couldn't be any better
Than watching out the window
And laying my eyes upon the setting sun
While apple cider and spice linger in the ether
Protected in your sweater

To you,
Where your smile meets the gaze
Of blizzard-still byways -
I'm scared of losing you somewhere along the lines.

To you,
Buried barriers trickle moonflower skies
Two years apart from being miles away -
I'm scared we'll fall when it's too late.

To you, From me,
A friend who wishes the very least,
To spend a little more chapters in your life.
I'm scared we'll be over before we even start.

you left me standing
alone
in the twilight of it all
you vanished in the mist
in the hurt
of everything
you left me standing
alone

I turn to the sky
With a face of longing
Somewhere to belong
Within these troubled nights

I try to connect the dots
But they fall apart in my arms
Leaving behind
A million lonely stars

I look up to the song
Dancing along a bittersweet breeze
And dream of the day
These walls will become a home

I close my eyes
Touching the stardust trails amongst bleeding scars
Somewhere out there I'll find
A million lonely stars

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

Autumn mornings filtered
gentle daylight on sunbeams
across cityways
and warm-tinted sidewalks,
upbeat lofi humming
with the dove's sorrowful song,
while weaving past
the struggles days bring.

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

He'd sing along to the midnight songs.
She'd turn the other way.
He'd run and run to get away.
She'd stay.
Time would fly in their eyes, both dreaming up at the night sky.
All it takes is one day to change a world of what they see.
When they both come to meet under the blue umbrella.

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

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

A fire abloom
Deep within my heart
Even a match
Couldn't start the flare
You blaze so brightly
Without having to burn
Away from the field of roses
In my arms
You don't see how much you mean
With or without
A blazing mark

you caught me by surprise
an entwined mess of pulsing spotlights  

you caught me by surprise
speechless at the hands of your smile

you caught me by surprise
drowned by shores of ovation

you caught me by surprise
over and over and over again
till when our realities cease to exist

When I am around you
The butterflies come swarming
You make me breathless

You say you care..
but do you really?

In the kinder glow
our eyes meet
flashing like a castle
lost in the snow

The sky illuminating in blazing blues
and solemn reds
but even in the dark of night
a light is shed

In the dawn of morning
kingdoms will grow
blooming, blooming
from the castle below

A brink of clouded moonlight
amongst oranges and blood-kissed red tucked away between headstones
with stories longing to tell

Her fears couldn't catch up to
the warm cinders collapsing in darkness
wildfire coursing through her veins

He walked past skyscrapers and city lights
Passing the school every night.
"I'll still be here," He mumbled into the dusk
While asteroids blazed overhead.
Days followed by
In a solar system, running down.
The more he looked up -
The more he felt like gravity was letting loose
"Someday, somehow, we'll collide."
Forever hoping,
It was who they were.
They were on a collision course.

Colors are just colors
What's the point
of hiding the rainbow
in a world full of grey?

We saw a world
bruised and beautiful
The world kept moving forward
constantly in motion
while ours fell apart

"You're my sun,"
He murmured, picking up the traces of daisies
That scattered the ground,
"My moon,"
He caught the petals as they fell from the cluster,
"My stars,"
A sigh parted his lips,
Dropping the injured bouquet from his hands,
"And everything in between..."
The petals spread near him
Like diamonds flashing on the soil
Forming a cosmos around his tracks.
He lost himself for love and in return,
The galaxy lost him too.

I can count your name a million times
From fading stars to sunrise
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Under the sun's shining gloom.

If meteorites faded upon the ground
If the moon danced, crumbling down
If the galaxy was safe and sound
Would you stand there with me
Under the sun's shining gloom?

If we sank beneath the sea
If the world's turned upon our reach
If we watched Earth plummet underneath our feet
Would you stand there with me
Under the sun's shining gloom?

Or would we drown below the blue?
Would you pull away, as you do?
Would you pick up the pieces, lathered in glue?
If we stood under the sun, blazing like crystals in the dew
Would we fall apart?
Or is it too soon?

in a sea of roses
so brilliant and bright
i'd give you a bouquet
with their petals in  color
from red
to white
to yellow
to blue
and watch the casting shades
beam in your eyes
worth more than an iris
with love deep as a lily
and whenever i'm with you
i see a field of dandelions
because you are worth so much more
then a garden of roses

You make me feel so much
I can't wait to be with you
No matter how far the distance
Or the hardships throw
We can get through this together
With love in our hearts
Forever and always
I want to be with you

You make me feel so much
That no other could compare
It's hard to explain
You're the reason I keep smiling
Dreaming about the day
When all will come together
Forever and always
I want to be with you

You make me feel so much
Living in a world of far away
But for the distance
I can see us living free from harm's way
While we hold each other safely
Forever and always
I want to be with you
And never ever
Want to stop loving you

You complete me
In so many ways no other could
filling the cracks in my heart
With blossoms of roses on my cheeks
And a beating heart too quick to beat
This love won't be easy
But we can survive
Dancing in the rain
And finding comfort in our embrace

I love you
Past the moon
Past the stars
To the edge of the universe's reach

With love,
Erian ❤

Glancing above
To the star dusted sky,
My heart twists and flips
At the very thought of you.
Of our wild adventures.

Can we be as close as we used to be?
To the blaring sounds of the radio,
Dancing till we're out of breath?
Clasping our hands tightly,
Unwilling to let go?

Listening to our hearts
Beat on endless repeat,
Laughing till we're the only noise left between us?
Forbidding our eyes to escape eachother?

The moon knows
How much I speak of you,
How our secrets tangle in the wind.
How much I long for you to stare up at the night beside me.

When the stars melt amongst the darkness,
They always lead me back your way.

In a forest, tucked away
hidden between padded ferns
and angered flowers,
whose roots grew wider
then the seas,
was a heart crossed
of all the thorns
she didn't need.

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

You always drown my mind...
Even when you're not mine...

When I saw you with her
I realized that you forgot about me...
We never were anything
But a distant echo in the wind...

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
