Erin - Hello Poetry

i hear the murmurs inside my head
if my heart only knew the truth -
the real truth
not the whispered lies it believes

i close my eyes and imagine
imagine what could be
if i am only given a chance -
a chance to fly -
a chance to breathe -
a chance to build a bridge to my dreams

a quiet love

just a girl sitting next to the boy she likes
the noise of the world falls away
his quiet company wraps around her
offering a comfort and a peace

just a girl sitting next to the boy she likes
absorbing every word, every glance, every touch
just in case it is the last
no fairytales he once told her

just a girl sitting next to the boy she likes
wise enough to know it wont last forever
yet still loves and gives unabashedly
because she is just a girl sitting next to the boy she likes

Tumble

I always say never again
yet somehow, I always get pulled back into the realm of make believe
where hues are subtle yet vibrant
words are poignant and sharp
and dreams fade with glimmers of hope

yes, somehow, I always find myself here
wandering
hours lost in pursuit of that which faintly eludes my grasp
but imprints itself upon my heart
reminding me of the beauty of what could be

and so I continue to tumble into the realm of make believe
believing in its magic
even though I always say never again

reminisce

summer memories
warmed by the fading sun
wait to be forgotten
in the hush of fall
later to reminisced in the chill of winter
accompanied by storied laughter
and a longing for summer’s smile

serenity

for the briefest of moments
time falls still
no pretense, no veil
a simple connection
binding two hearts
all in that moment is perfect
all in that moment is real
a moment to breathe
a moment to love
a moment to feel
for the briefest of moments

abstract soul

a myriad of colors composes my soul
faint whispers of color contrasted with bold strokes
soft-spoken hues interlaced with vibrant jewels
all swirled, faded, and delicately stitched
coyly revealing the abstract soul that shimmers inside

sometimes

so it feels
when I tumble down the rabbit hole of my mind -
an endless gray envelops the day
clouds blanket the sky,
suffocating the sun
as I drown in my thoughts

but soon –
vibrant rays of color and light burst forth,
warming my soul
melting my anxieties
reawakening my senses -
reminding me of the flavors of life

and once again -
I dabble in life’s small delights,
dancing in its wonder
with my heart ready to smile love
