Erica Kishpaugh Poem
I wish to stroke my soul
as to awaken it
from its dormant state
releasing it
so that it might transcend
into the sky and beyond
past the moon
and all the stars
penetrating the borders of the galaxy
leaving the universe
escaping time...
(forever eternal)

Erica Kishpaugh Poem
Happiness is my enemy-
I crave it so hard that
I seek it in the wrong places
Like a phene in the night
Roaming the streets
Collecting trash for a hit..
The taste is so euphoric
I ride its high
like a wave...
And when it ends
I come crashing down
into the Earth
And dissolve,
Pulling myself back away
From the sunlight,
Fading
Into the shadows
Where I eagerly await
Another taste.

Erica Kishpaugh Poem
Love me right
Hold me tight
or baby just
Let me go
My soul can't live
in this limbo
We build sand castles
during the day
only to be washed away
by the nights tide
Im crumbled inside
Exposed under the stars shine
I hate myself
Won't you love me
back to health
Smooth me back into your shores
Remind me
Why I'm yours...

Erica Kishpaugh Poem
The familiar burbon warmth
crept through each vessel,
slow and hard the burn-
turning me out from the inside.
I closed my eyes
and braced for impact,
I always fall hard right here...
Long tendrils of silky-soft hair
framed my porcelain face as I
lowered my head in defeat.
I'm clean on the surface
but stained like church glass underneath,
a wrecked consequence
of this beautiful life
that is ominously cursed
with the promise of death.
