The Letter They Never Answered
To those who should have heard my plea— I write not bitter, but silently. In shadows where the messages fade, I found myself in silence laid. It started with a hopeful thread, A truth that whispered, softly said, To stir the waters, call a friend— But stillness echoed to no end. No ripples came, no words replied, Just empty space where trust had died. “You...

Erased
The walls remembered my name not my voice, My existence faded by the hourglass, I could feel the weight capture my chest Felt like a taboo down my throat, Memories swept, diminished, downgraded Like words on a wet paper, I found a letter in the rain My name on it, my existence erased. ©?Written Whispers...

A GALAXY ERASED
Galaxy, heart, erase, gaze, cold, tender A swirling galaxy of thought, Where feelings bloom and then are caught. My heart, a fragile, beating thing, Can soar on hope, or sharply sting. A wish to erase the memory's sting, Of words like ice, a frozen spring. Your lingering gaze, a distant star, Both near and infinitely far. A touch so tender, soft and light, Against the...

Underwhelmed Amnesiac
I’m not an artist I’m not a genius I’m not the largest or coming of Jesus I’m not even close Or even at most I’m just a ghost and I’m draping my clothes I’m just a debt Another regret I’m just a notion that you should forget Just forget my face I don’t have a place I’m just an outline that will be erased A needle in...

Love cannot be erased
I remember your hug Arms wrapped around me with love We'd rock back and forth Like the swing on my porch And you'd squeeze me so close I still miss that the most A little dance with our feet And a soft kiss on my cheek Later this year Sick and full of tears I layed...

A Pretty Image Not Easily Erased
Can I admire your beauty and be still charmed? Jealousy was restlessness when a guy asked you to dance with him, I watched you two fliting; do I look so sincere in spite of my crazy cheating? I can tremble at a pretty image not easily erased, It's the heavy guilt inside, because I have cheated! Oh, darling...hurt me the same...

Premium Member Dance, For Helen
You, beautiful one, Aware of mind's inner space, But travelling, thrilling to movement. Tiny jokes and masked meanings The place you played. You undid models Like a child making games, The barrier behind unvisited. Hold up your arms And dance! Death's not erased the past and Is not the end of music....

Voices Cannot Be Erased
Even voices that don’t exist deserve to be attuned to. Voices that make these walls buckle. But have no essence. Faceless sounds. And at first I feel stricken. Then renewed. Disembodied voices swirl in ribbons of coherence. But nothing but mumbling is streaming from me. Just because something is a secret. Does not make it...

Premium Member A Plaster
Yesterday I used a plaster For a small cut Now I use a plaster For light muscle pains Suddenly I feel that I want to use a plaster For an ugly scar That cannot be erased Or fade easily And tomorrow maybe I'll use a plaster For sorrow and grief Maybe a plaster from the Almighty God Maybe a magical plaster of love...

Premium Member Pages Written, Then Erased
Time kisses each upon a cheek with timeless teeth of smile. Even hungry mice as we, who walk in other’s shoes a mile. Along the empires’ ridge we stroll with nighttime sky, engaged. Impoverished, as our brethren watch, with hearts aflame, enraged. Stories we disguise in different form, atoms shifting in chaotic dance. Clothing manifested from our storm, a...

He Erased Us, Didn'T He
I hear a few songs from my playlists that make me think of you And I wonder if you have any that make you think of me You don’t call anymore, even after I asked you to And, I don’t call because you’re going to feel guilty for not calling And then tell me that you still love me But...

Next Poem, Erased On a Sharp Black Line
"Next Poem, Erased on a Sharp Black Line" The more I try to erase you The more you present sharp and present Oligarchy claps on, Teeth sharp and tongues bite venomous in numbers There you are walking barefoot and blindfolded on a Sharp Black Line Daring to dive in Here I await your presence In the swim A shadow drowning under brittle crystal hours hooked...
