my love
there is no reason
to store a pocket knife
I know the demons
come pounding
I'll come and light a torch
you know well
where to find me
Eriko Feb 2016
the brushes lay flat
scattered across the yawning table
my canvases scattered, paint incomplete
like the thoughts which fall
from my head in repeat,
I pace the studio
the beloved safe haven
the place where I can be my own
the place where I can cry alone
the paints just glimmer
my fingers cringe at their shimmer
I sit in my studio,
staring at the blank scenes
knotting my hands, twisting my fingers
my heart has lost the appetite
of such delicate vigor
the rain glints in the darkening sky
the windows plastered with darkness
I can't see anything for the being
yet I sit and try
something is not right
it must be a new night
--a new flight--
that must be why
missing my paints
Eriko Feb 2016
the crack of daylight a murmuring hue
speckled on my cheekbone, a startling clue
the word is waking, the sky is stretching
brilliant arrays of cerulean ensues
cut like spiderwebs from trees slipping through
this dawn was beautiful, sublime
I held my breath and hinted the flagrance
the scent of chilly creeks and morning dew
the peacefulness which encompasses my mind--
a moment's pause of breath, a sinking feeling
time has taken all of it away
the stars, the ones which shine so bright
I sleep with the curtain half opened
they help me dream a better reality
they keep my hands from quivering

I have read so many wonderful poems,
haiku's, 10 words, so many more, and none are alike!
But we tend to forget about spoken word poems,
Hello Poetry, can you make it possible to share our spoken words as well as our massive pile on's of endless poetry. Spoken Words would add to the sight, and only make it better.
I wish I could also Use Hellopoetry on my mobile phone, in an app,
I'm not sure about anyone else, but that would maybe add to HP

Please consider what I've had to say, c:
Please send repost like and share and comment anything else you think the sight needs since it's growing in great ways. Please share and like if you agree c:

Can't you see
I still love you
I just cannot put myself
Through it anymore
So I try to hold my bones
They now shudder
And creak wherever I go
All the past mistakes
Ghosting vacant follow
If I can pretend to be strong
Maybe I can convince
The part of me made of glass
That I am
And not feeling like
I can collapse from within
At any given time

I am a solitary thought
toiling
to anchor down the heart
struggling
to keep
all sails in place
compass intact
and so I brace
as wind and current
take your side
slanting the heart
Learning to swim, sometimes against the tide.
