Erian Rose May 2018
When it begins to feel like rubble,

Everything's coming down.



Before the bell of noon,

Everything is coming out.

Long before the sunsets arise,

On a day before Saturday night,

Nothing  is going to hold me back.

Going on with daily sight.



To many might have heard it before,

On nothing but a rumor.

Going higher than intended,

Everything is coming out.



Today is turning to an hour,

Having it turn to a mumble,

Every time lasts even longer,

But it's everything for now.
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 Jun 2019
No matter how far we fade apart
It doesn't mean we fade away
Erian Rose Oct 2018
Is something wrong
with me?
We are always falling
so easily.
Why don't you talk
to me?
The less pain,
the more we see.
Is something wrong with me?
Erian Rose Apr 2019
you were wild in my mind
from the start
your words crashed like waves
against my beating heart
you'll always be there
with me in the dark
you don't know how much I love you
as a broken soul
we couldn't fall apart
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
Erian Rose Nov 2020
Her lips tasted
of frosted
starlight
crystal eyes
fixed on mine
she could
wish upon
a falling star
and I'd never stop
loving her
Erian Rose May 2020
Where waves broke
pounding on the shoreline
where salt and foam fled
crashing into rigid stones
Clear blue waters
dark as charcoal moonlight
hammering in hurricanes
Racing with the constellations
to a place of stardust
Where she found
her home in the twilight
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Until we find a way without a goodbye.
Erian Rose Jan 2020
Our love is different
Random and weird
But every moment spent
Makes me love you more

I'll spend forever with you
To be in your arms
While you kiss me
In the future we make
Erian Rose Nov 2019
missing you
will be hard
but finding you again
is worth forever
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
Erian Rose Sep 2019
I have written these poems for so long
but now they just feel
forced
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
Erian Rose May 2019
All I see
Are our frail memories...
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I can't help but think
what it would be like
If I had never had the courage
to talk to you
Would we still be friends?
Whatever you think "friends" is..
Would we still talk?
Or would we drift, become strangers again..
You don't know how much it pains
to fall in love
and pretend to fall out of it
You don't see past
the mask that hides the scars
You don't know my smile
Is all a fake
Just to please you
So you can leave me alone
Because it pangs..
Erian Rose Sep 2019
Crow’s sung in the wakening night
Causing ghosts and ghouls to stir up a fright
Kingdoms broken down in ominous sight

A moon drowned in red
Hanging on by a thread
Scarecrows wandering from field to field
A night escaping by echoing cries

Where the black cats pounce through dusk
Where witches laughter is cold to the touch
A whisper heard in the atmosphere
Halloween is near
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
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 Jun 2021
As the days grow long
And nights shrivel to hours
The feeling of little sunflowers
In the eversinking sunlight
Bloom softly among
Lonely, setting summer skies
Erian Rose Oct 2020
Her voice trembled under unsettling cold
breath hitched at starless dusk,
an ocean of black ink
drowning the moon's marvelous magic

Footsteps echoed her own
a balancing act in the dark
playing with unwritten spellwork
scattered in her shaken eyes

She wasn't afraid of what lurked
Beneath the running seas and crashing shores
the orbs that followed her
all but left to her cryptid-tale
Erian Rose Jan 2021
Nature followed her footprints,
Planting seeds in the sand
With every forward land,
Blooming trees to the moon.

Wind would whistle between
The curls of her bronzite hair,
Setting a crown of flowers upon her head,
Hues of violets and blues.

No matter how much strength
She placed in the land,
There was only so much she could do
To brace the incoming doom.

Her eyes as forests
Would get torn down one by one,
Leaving nothing but rabbit holes
In the tracks that were left.

Generations would soon come to see,
The everlasting beauty of her earth.
In what was worth protecting.
What was left for recovering
before her last breath.
Erian Rose Apr 2019
before I realized
you were gone
life was worth
more then ever
now you left
leaving me dead
a person I once was
Erian Rose Apr 2019
When I'm with you
My worries
My cares
My wounds
Blows away
Gone like a kite
With its string held
In your grasp
Erian Rose Sep 2019
They say we've got twisted minds
But there's only so much a soul can hide.
I've been in a big Halloween mood lately so here's a little poem for the haunting of the season
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.
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
Erian Rose Dec 2019
Bloodstained skin
Isn't the answer
For a heart broken in two
One of my friends is thinking of leaving - for good. I don't know what to do. I really care for them but they think life isn't worth it anymore. I need help.
Erian Rose Mar 2019
Pain runs through my nerves
When I see you in vain
But even in the bitter of days
Things will get better
For you and me
As we face life together
Through the dark
That yet when the tears start to fall
I'll be here for You
Things will get better
Always
I'll be here for You
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I'm hiding you
In my heart
Because you're the only thing
From keeping me cracking apart

If my heart
Ever tears
I know you'll be there
To sew the loose strings
From restraining me from leaving
This broken art

In the end
I guess all I am
Is hiding you away
Erian Rose May 2019
He sang along to the trumpets in his head,
as the radio once did.
"I'll always be there for you,"
He stuttered past his heart.
The coldness locking his beath
in a frozen cloud of smoke
intertwining in the frosted skies,
"Then you told me no,"
His hands quivered in his sleeves where scars left no marks,
while his voice was breaking like broken bones.
He never finishes his dying lyrics,
with the notes dangling in the air,
for someone else to pair.
And an iris left at the stairs.
Erian Rose Apr 2020
the long road may be far
out of reach
but I count my blessings
a guide home

the setting skies
fall below
but the courage he gives
helps me live

i'm thankful for life
the mystery as it is
chasing dreams
being teenagers in the dark

home may be out of reach
yet in my heart
the miles are no matter
from point a to point b
Erian Rose May 2020
seasons pass
months fly by
crisp November air
trembles bittersweet
changes go past
from streetlights on main
to budding riverbanks
a love lost
for something and somewhere
far out from grasp
Erian Rose Apr 2020
she wandered the fields
curiosity in her eyes
honeysuckles blooming
welcoming springs arise

her feet skid gentle ground
stumbling over crumpled petals
leaving all but a sound
clouds waving to her surprise

treetops hang under concrete walls
love developing in simple tone
she built her home of bricks and sandy shores
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
Erian Rose Mar 2019
From the tears that fall
To the pounding wall
Nothing stings more
Then the hurting inside
Erian Rose Apr 2019
I opened my fist
To engulf the moon
In a fit of love
That I'd go far further
Then the Milky Way
To be in your arms
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Is there even a point?
We're just an atom compared to a million worlds..
If I go..
Will anyone bother to care?
My energy will still be there..

Into the evening dusk
The steady beat of the trumpets ring about
Next time
As I gaze up upon the stars
I'll wish for you
While they hurry down from the sky

Though, I know
You'll never be mine.
An ode to the one who I know will never see me as more than a friend.
Erian Rose Apr 2019
Nothing seems impossible...
when you're with me
Erian Rose Apr 2019
As soon as you left
My world came crashing down
I couldn't feel
I couldn't think
You killed me against the darkness
Erian Rose Oct 2020
Green nights dusted newly fallen leaves
tumbling about aimlessly
in the mid-autumn breeze
creating pathways to the unknown

Deeper woods trailed sea salt skies
Smells linger of
forgotten books, hollowed trees
midnights up past sunrise

Stars twinkled above
A guiding path for all
of adventure that awaits
In the mountains to the coast
Erian Rose Oct 2019
Let the story free
Inside your eyes
Shining like a million suns
Falling from the night

In the dazzling shores
The sky fell from sight
Leaving but a trace
Of what’s hidden deep inside

Is this what we call love?
Dancing with fireflies up above
Is this what we call love?
Forgetting what we lost

You’re the risk that’s worth taking
Setting the atmosphere on flare
If the world spun in sequence
We could find each other’s stare

I wish I could promise
What’s been hidden from the start
But as soon as the stars tumble
I’ll be by your side

Is this what we call love?
Dancing with fireflies up above
Is this what we call love?
Forgetting what we lost

Secrets meant to last forever
Splitting at the touch
When a single hold isn’t enough
Cradling a flame in the dust
Your the one grasping all my might
When I’m with you
Nervously hoping that we’ll be enough

Is this what we call love?
Dancing with fireflies up above
Is this what we call love?
Is this what we call love...
Erian Rose Sep 2019
the voices change
but my love
beats the same
Erian Rose Nov 2019
I see you in the sky
Like jellyfish see
The ocean's shining dew.
Erian Rose Mar 2019
last night I found
myself in a different place
everything had changed
I didn’t know the difference

the night was gloom
with sprinkles of light
all I saw was emptiness
all I saw was me

“Just a dream,”
they say
“Just a dream.”

How do you know
If it wasn’t reality?
Erian Rose Oct 2019
Every blush you send my way
It makes me hope we can be together
Anyday
Erian Rose Nov 2021
Last summer
our days sped by us
like Faris wheel highs
swept beneath sidewalk alleyways.
We traveled the world
in our little neighborhood of dreams;
a hand to hold so close
yet miles away in words.
We found the best
out of emptiness,
heartening our comfortable silence.

We found each other on accident
two summers ago from June,
hopscotched in one-night walks
on a bus going nowhere fast.
By then, we barely knew
how far the universe would take us
in a matter of months.
Now, all I can think about
is how to comprise your heart flutter
the same way your smile and cosmos
composed mine.
