Marble rolls within a sky, Framed by a frozen slice of my world. I wish to pause within this moment, To stretch the possibilities of forgotten youth. And take the beauty that so abundantly surrounds, My troubled and aging mind. A feeling quite like a waiting storm, Is gathering slow beneath my chest. Please help … Continue reading Winter Moments- Michael Erickson

Hesitation in Gold- Michael Erickson
Each day upon this shining scene, I see you staring across each green living thing. Fixed by your stare I stand upon a mountainside, Wind tossing clouds to and froe. I would reach out to you with a hand to hold, But you've already escaped this scene. Eyes now unfocused looking not beyond me, … Continue reading Hesitation in Gold- Michael Erickson
Lonely Thought- by themoonlightreverie
At the bottom of the pyramid is where I lay as I watch the sun go down the horizon and just like that another lonely day of my lonely being passes. I lay awake in the company of this unending sky and the million stars staring at the moon, lonely as it is despite surrounded … Continue reading Lonely Thought- by themoonlightreverie
Poem: Free Verse – “Wildfire” #amwritingpoetry #godoggocafe
Credit: Toa Heftiba via Unsplash. I am a wildfire, A star that effervesces and multiplies; Miracle of light. Seeking love despite, for my innate wildness. I am a wildfire, And untamed with light despite, Treacherous treks through crumbling peaks, Shadows of the dimmest valley's bleak. Glowing through the vast unbroken wilderness. I am a wildfire, … Continue reading Poem: Free Verse – “Wildfire” #amwritingpoetry #godoggocafe
Did You? – Eric (EDC Writing)
Would you go from nowhere to somewhere in the dark Do you let a moonbeam light your path till dawn Did you feel a heartbeat resting next to yours?
Sentinels of the Dark- Michael Erickson
Stripped of these infernal devices, We stand upon the edge of a darkness. The universe as known by mortal limits spins away, Trembling within the boundaries of our leaves. Follow lines of light as the sun disappears into the void, Between heaven and hell. There a door waits. Beckoning. Michael is a husband, father, writer, … Continue reading Sentinels of the Dark- Michael Erickson
Voices in the Dusk- Michael Erickson
The moon rose slowly from beyond the hills as I stood listening to your hissing leaves. Darkness hid your shifting depths as from within your limbs stirred a hundred eyes. A silent row of poplars stood, sentinels in the waiting dark. I felt their age like a knife’s razor edge brush across my skin. And … Continue reading Voices in the Dusk- Michael Erickson
In the Waiting Dark- Michael Erickson
I walk along a dusted lane, listening to the sound of wind in the grass. Hawk cries echo across this place as the sun descends beyond purple hills. Cradled here in the midst of a volcanic bowl my feet pause before shadowed forms. Rustling limbs sing within the evening breeze calling out to mortal ears. … Continue reading In the Waiting Dark- Michael Erickson
Michael Erickson- Rebirth
Rebirth. I am renewed. As a chick from the egg. Cracks of life being for my mortal being. For the ripples of my consciousness are woven together. Crossing a pond of glass I coalesce in the sunrise of a new day. A Phoenix of a forgotten age birthed forth onto a recurring, rotating piece of … Continue reading Michael Erickson- Rebirth
Michael Erickson- Don’t Tell
Don't tell- Such a simple little phrase, One to shush an unwanted moment. I feel the brush of petal soft suggestions, As these words repeat with ink-dipped intention. An unwanted touch, A whispered confession too much to bare. Please, no one can never find out. A little sweep under a proverbial rug. Blink it … Continue reading Michael Erickson- Don’t Tell
