Palembang, 3 November Masih ingat ku di usia muda Saat ku dikelilingi ruang hampa Jari tetap menggoreskan tinta Hati tetap menerawang asa Di hati terdalam terselip doa indah Permohonan gadis kecil yang kesepian Aku berdoa tapi terus bekerja Sendirian.. Tak ada seorangpun di sekitar Merasa orang biasa tak kan mengerti Susah pun tuk diungkap Tak mampi lagi berucap Malu pun yang ada di setiap kata Berjanji kepada Tuhan Akan berbuat baik jika diberi teman Tipe yang langsung mengerti akan keadaan Dan tak harus ku ucap lagi tuk Dia dengarkan Bisa ku dengar semua sunyi Ada kejutan dibalik kesunyian-Nya Akan selalu ku nanti Soulmate Aridea Hingga Tuhan percaya aku akan membutuhkannya Created by. Aridea Purple a.k.a Erika Maya W Handoko

I asked you. Do you love me? You replied, I guess. That spoke more then you know. I asked you. Wouldn't you love to be rich? You replied, yes. That you surely knew. But the question's that meant the most to me. You treated it lackadaisical. Yes, no spirit at all. And now you're wondering, why you're alone? I would say call Tyrone. Like Erika Badu. But he can't affrod a phone. Let alone a home. So this I guess. Have affected your world. All because you didn't give the right answer. When asked. If you turn it around and ask me. I state it with truth about the way I feel for you. There won't be this I guess. Because you would only hear three words of truth coming to you. I guess. Well maybe I will. Then again, I guess I won't. Then again.

Pushy Mother-F*cker Copyright © 2013 Erika Whitmore Pushy mother-f*cker We doin’ this or not? And - you can keep your ******* venom, Dude Is that really all you got? You lodge your disgust and hate Like an acid punctuation Contort your face and raise your voice? I smile at your frustration I grow weary at the thought of you And tire of your pathetic jabs It’s been eons since I said we’re through I won’t be your punching bag You try to walk the line and And bide your time And play both ends against the middle But you better know that I’m at my prime So, your “tactics” matter little. I’ll take the blame And all your “spew” You’re so predictable it’s lame Around we go, in circles now But your ******** remains the same So, get your head out of your *** And take a look around -- You sadly think your **** don’t stink But, like gas, I’ll have to pass Before I’m knee deep in your brown Your arrogant, condescending tone Is driving me insane So, I just hope For your sake that you’re prepared …‘Cause it’s about to rain!

Pushy Mother F*cker
Somewhere out there, there is someone who had a Creative Writing class in college with E.L. James. He remembers her as that annoying sheltered Mormon girl in class always telling people about how great a writer she was and reciting her bad poetry to anyone who pretended to listen. He remembers fondly the time she sobbed to her friends because of the D she got on her final project and the time the professor told her: "Sometimes passion just isn't enough. You've got to have talent too." He knew that if he never made it as a writer at least he could take solace in the fact that wasn't as bad as that Erika chick. After college, he cried weekly over his mountain of rejected manuscripts and eventually abandoned the pursuit of his art altogether in favor of work that pays the bills. Years later, he comes home from work at his 9-12 factory job he finally, reluctantly, gives in to his wife's demands to take up ******* in the bedroom - - and Mid-orgasm she calls him Christian Grey So, what I'm saying is this: Somewhere out there, there is someone who killed their loving wife in sudden rage - because of poorly written Twilight fanfiction.

I watched a Documentary about Richard Pryor Last night. Did you know.... He was born in a brothel, His mother was a ********** and his Father a one-time Customer? The closest Pryor ever got To his Father was When his Daddy Unknowingly paid to Create his son's life - Inside a ***** (and daddy never once enjoyed his investment). But, the ******* son Became the Clown, and That clown transformed All his pain And sorrow into Golden coins of Laughter. Imagine if we could all be so brave. - erika anne

Who Am I
Inside the heart of a predator Lives a little boy Who once had Dreams And Hopes And Laughter And Love? Someone once announced his birth, Someone once threw a Party in honor of his life, someone   Once told him good job! Someone once must have Cared? (of course, I'm only assuming) At what point did The sweet, glowing, iridescent Boy transform into the Dark, murky, violent Monster? What childhood Nightmare haunted Him so terribly that it Had the strength to Relentlessly push him Across the Delicate threshold From innocent to Sociopath? Or....was it just Always There? We’ve all been Dealt some unsavory Cards in life. Some of us use our Unlucky hands as Weapons of Destruction. Some of us use our Unlucky hands as Torches, lighting a Path of Courage and Rebirth For others to Follow. The predator uses his Bad luck as a group Of thugs protecting His heart. Yet, within his past Lives the Remedy for his Darkest demons. All he needs Is the courage To face it. But, predators Would rather stay Hidden in the Dark. - erika anne

I've known you only as a quiet child. So many years in passing spoke your name, And hearing it would bring a fleeting smile. I've known you only as a quiet child. You're now a wife, a mother; all this while It took for me to stake a father's claim. I've known you only as a quiet child; So many years in passing spoke your name.

For Erika
May 27, 1998. It was a Thursday at 7:50 p.m. I was one of two. "Name her Isabella, because she came out screaming. She's loud, like her grandmother." My sister was 10 minutes later, quiet and feeble. Her name, Andreana. After my father Andrew, who wasn't there. He died two months earlier. My mom, obviously she was there. But not really. Atleast she wasn't around. We had Jamie, and Erika, and Ausra, and Deb. Me and my sister had eachother, and my brother, when he felt like it. When your dads dead and your mom works full time--because that's the only way to make a living. You're really, well you're an orphan. I remember when my mom went on business trips, I'd bang my head on the wall because I was so miserable, I'd cry myself sick. I would sleep next to my sister and we'd look at the stars, I remember we used to stay up late and wait for her to get home. She'd hold me and whisper "soon." As I felt the tears from her eyes gather in my hair, and rub against my skin. My mom would bring us home gifts, as if gifts could mend our broken hearts. As if gifts replaced the love and attention we weren't getting. I got to first grade and I stole from my teacher, I hung out with the "bad girl" in class and we used to bully this boy. My mom wondered why I had anger management issues and why I would lie. She threw me into therapy, because she couldn't solve these problems on her own. Except when I went to therapy all I wanted to do was play with the games. I just wanted someone to play with me. I just wanted someone to care. My nannies cared. But they weren't my mom. And eventually they left. When they left, then we had Maria. Maria pushed me into the wall when I was having tantrums and grabbed my face, told me to "stop misbehaving!" I hated Maria. My mom cared. She cared a lot. Maybe that was the problem. She got so caught up in caring and making sure we were cared for that she forgot how to love. When all the other kids parents came to the Halloween parade, I never saw my mom. My sister and I would sit together, while everyone else would sit with there mommies and daddies. But hey atleast we had eachother. Right? My mom wasn't able to make it to Shoreline or state championship track meets, or award nights because she had to work. She wasn't there when I became captain of the track team. My best friends mom gave me a hug, i closed my eyes and pretended it was mine. She cared, but she was never there. I still looked for her face in the crowd every time I stood at that starting line. Most times when I didn't see it, I wanted to cry, but the few times I did, I wanted to cry even harder.

Early in her years she was somewhat abandoned. Rejected by the only family she knew, unwanted and with no arms to hang on. Independently she faced a cruel and an uncomforting world. Keeping her tears hidden inside while she shows us only her most beautiful smile. A damsel in great distress without anyone to lean on and just weep and cry. Years passed by and she became a mother. One little angel, her lovely daughter. Her reason to go on with life and not think of anymore struggles. Kept herself back on track and didnt mind the hurdles. One or two relationships that broke her heart, also became  the reason that she had to restart. Now she has a house of her own that she can always call home. One fine job that pays more than she could ever hone. Zestfully she faces the world with a whole new view. And still smiles but no more tears behind them, for this time they are true. Keeping on moving forward and thats how she plays it. It doesnt matter if you lose or win the game, its how you played it.

Season of Love
You Are Not Alone* Copyright © 2013 By Erika Whitmore You are not alone You will never be forgotten. At the rising of the moon Through the beams illuminating Through the starlight reverberating, Sonorous Blissful angels weeping O’er enchanting, echoed voices … you resonate with me Tones upon tones upon… The stars… these ancient stars Reflecting In pools and rings… …that beget rings that beget rings… Never-ending Flowing in, ebbing out In all, in everything That surrounds you, that’s in me Blue-azure-and green jade tumbling water It is so beautiful, Beyond what words can speak. …It is you. Now nothing… Quiet, falling snow of cotton Dark and heavy heart But you are not alone - …and we are not apart. And you will never… Be forgotten. ~ (For My Beloved Ahira and Inspired by and written while listening to: “I Can Hear the Moon Rising,” “Rapture” and “Love Is Surrender” by Kip Mazuy on www.calm.com)

To someone...
The words He searches the words to describe the exquisite person Stand before him The words “Nonsense! How can my excruciating words describe her exceptionally lovely presence ” he says The words still won’t come out Inexplicably… As she walks towards him As he lays his eyes upon her As she says ” Hi I am your eve “ -Erika

Eve
Tik Tok Tik Tok…. I’ve always said I would call you to tell you how much I love you But there is always a tomorrow, right? So I didn’t call you that night I’ve always said I would write you a poem that describes your beautiful soul But there is always another day, right? So I didn’t make you one I’ve said I would come over to your house But there is always another morning, day, and night, right? So I didn’t make it yesterday and today How long will I stay like this In a comfort bed My soul paints a dark still life The piano plays me a death march Mind wanders thinking about tomorrow ” There is always tomorrow “ Till I know the skies run out of stars Till The moon has lost its beam Till The sun is overshadowed by black clouds Till The trees are paralyzed no longer dance with the wind Till the books run out its pages Till the eyes are reddened by blood Till the tides go back to the ocean Till I know I’ve lost her. Because of my tomorrow -Erika

My Always Tomorrow = The Death of Me
I dreamed of love A drowsy girl Awakened my sleeping thoughts With burning memory And the inertia of hope Unexpected, This sudden pull of gravity in my mind Has sent me tumbling back to consciousness. Gasping, Cold plastering clothes to skin Wondering Where did my warmth go? I miss those imaginary arms That kissed me easily More surreal than our fantastic surroundings Less beautiful than her trust in me Just as perfect as anything dreamed Her name was Erika My name was a blush and a hello In the beginning. But by the end, "I'm so happy." We climbed through windows and laughed about nothing We played with wolves We walked, we walked, So many hills and not an unsure step. I met her mother, she met mine Both were so proud of us. She made me useless things that I treasured more than practicality itself And I could feel her pride when I hugged her for them. Shy at first, Sitting on a bed, I asked her "Where are you from?" She mumbled, "I don't know." I said "that's not from around here." She hadn't taken her eyes from mine. Now she managed two words: " I'm lost." And suddenly, I knew I was lost for her too. We met for the first time in a hotel with no purpose But meeting her has become the only purpose. Though I wish so badly to go back to sleep, Something vital inside me is more awake than it has ever been Now I will keep my eyes forever open Until I find her warm embrace once again. And when her smile buries itself in my chest I can finally close them.

no vacancy
All I have is myself - my one and only til “death” do we part Self. I should probably start treating me better. Despite flaws and embarrassments and deep shame - I’m all I’ve got. Life is as short as it is long. It’s time to be a champion for me; my talents my desires my wishes my dreams. Because no one but me can live well in the present and no one but me can co-create my future. And no one but me can forgive me for my past... ~erika anne

I’m All I’ve Got
Just this time And maybe one more My brother, sweet and new He knows nothing of this world yet So new to life, still breathing in these wafting breaths Water can we not live without, yet stumbling Needing the poison of a thousand years Death must come and nothing breaking My eyes! That green! What happened to Erika? I heard she’s met her mate And lived happily Ever after This dream is my Wake I’m just a part of this world. And I miss them so much. They had blond hair as children and I’m blind. The color of tree bark was mine. how hard it must be to be his Sister. And she scolded. I cried because of this tenderness that follows brotherhood. Will he ever know? His eyes are covered like the blindness I’ve received. I guess this impairment brings sympathy. In time, a baby from a child.

this one:
Another year in your life, another 12 months your heart has been beating. Another 365 days your lungs have been taking in air. I hope you have lived so much that your heart skipped beats, and your lungs lost their breath. I hope you did so much living that your organs couldn't quite keep up with you. I hope your heart swelled with love and that you always reached for the stars. I hope you smiled every chance you got and that you were able to jump out of your comfort zone. I hope you made memories to be remembered for a lifetime and that you touched the lives of others. I hope you do even more living this coming year. I know there are big things waiting for you at 27, and i can't wait to see all the beautiful things god has in store for you. I hope you embrace each and every one of them, and truly live.

Erika
I am not afraid. because I am alone. People die one day and will be gone. I say to me nothing is permanent if u wish, you can also be The President. President of the United States of America. I said but my friends laughed at me. Even my beloved sister Erika. They say I am out of meds. Told me to always stay in my bed. I feel pain. But... they say I am insane. And I kept chanting 'Without pain, nothing you can gain' I go outside to the park. I watch people pass by. Till it gets dark I sit there watching all. This world is very big. I am too small. I believe in god He will make things all right. My dreams will no longer be dreams It will come true. what else is life for.
