Eriko Nov 2017
I collect rocks where my heart
felt light and soul bright
and love infinite in the sky,

I collect rocks
to anchor my earnest dreams
Eriko Nov 2017
The walls capsized
Revealing massive luminous structures
Lights spilled, dancing and careening
In the lakeshore northern air
The water swelled, breaching the concrete
And music ballooned through the echoing streets
The sleeping giant tumbled onto wakefulness
The arrow of unconventional beauty
Shot into the climbing night
Eriko Nov 2017
the expanse between
my ribcage
feels like nothing
like grey,
it's cold and heavy
numb and blind,
wading through it all,
my spirit is shrouded
with fog
its tendrils spill through
the rig bones, consuming
as it goes
I hide in a shell
clinging to the things
which I do know
to weather this storm
of stillness,
as I search for a light
of a magnificent source
Eriko Nov 2017
I remember when hurt
bolted my smile
I remember when pain wailed
ceaseless and cruel*
I remember when laughter
trickled like gold
I remember tenderness and love
*healing my sores
Eriko Oct 2017
nothing surpasses the beauty,
the spectacular rhythm
whirlwinds of enthused notes
bejeweled like ripe dew drops
on clear, crisp cerulean-blue sky days
when the world is teetering into a ricochet of memories
and an unfurling of colors
behold, their magnificence
casting storms, smudges, highlights
in the structures of our faces
in the marrow of our bones,
the melodies criss cross and intertwine
clutching onto the remaining casts of
sunlight's glow, a swelling feeling
in the canals of my chest, flooded with
the emotions carrying the sediments
from dominances far, far from those days
of silence, of a quiet which
eroded the ebb, the pocket of singing voices

would it be nice*
for a change
to fall asleep, knowing
I'll never be completely
alone

stuck high, high in a fog
glistening bulbs, whispering
reminiscences of gold and pinks,
of blues and greens,
wading through a marshland
crisscrossing streaks of dreams
wishing upon a falling star
rustle of trees, savoring the breeze
the sweet, crisp wind and icy glares
melted, blasted into watery gazes
with the grinning avalanches
and warm, warm smile,
a mystery, a marathon mystery
twisting through woods
and bridging mountains to the next
a marathon mystery
an ongoing memory
