so sorry, believe me
but I have lost the ability*
*to flee
Eriko Jan 2016
maybe my lips can't exactly mouth what wonderful thoughts
drift in my head, but you see my head is always drifting
far away to fantastic dreams because that's what I do
when reality is too ******* hard
so just water a vase of lilies
and heat a mug of tea
that's what I can do
when my words
have been
used
up
Eriko Jan 2016
sitting dazed on top of the mossy rooftops
listening to the crickets die out to the breeze
a long way down it is, to the comforting grass
far below, the earth pulses its warmth
yet it escapes me somehow and I am left feeling
the loving affection between tree and wind,
intimate nudge between blue sky and twinkling peaks
thrilling dance of moon and salty seas
simply cease to be
leaving me alone to my thoughts
wondering, oh wondering
what the fall would be like from the mossy rooftop

some things within us*
*never really leave
Eriko Jan 2016
a fleet of matches
to strike for our ways
carried in our pockets
saved for those rare days
they come and go
and pile on the floor
yet we never quite realize
they follow wherever we go
Eriko Jan 2016
sometimes I see everything*
*but sometimes nothing at all
Eriko Jan 2016
the galaxy stretched far above
the ghosts of mountains
and whistle of sea shells
just the serenity of a moments pause
afraid to look down
and see the ground
vanish before my feet
