and similar harmony
is no triviality.

Darkness of the Night

Posted on February 20, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
My life force
is a dreary November night.
The rain against the panes
my candle nearly burnt out,
the glimmer
infusing life into me.
People did not understand
I was borne into the darkness of the night.

The Beach

It is a rare form of happiness.
The beach empty,
footprints in the sand,
the night and the sea.

Abstract Poem

Posted on February 3, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
An abstract poem.
a rejection.
I pick the most promising themes.
No ready-made novel, no dense story.
Cut off in a self-induced vacuum
I could be myself.

without values.

Nature

Posted on January 29, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
Nature did remove my grief,
and tranquilized my mind.
The woods and clouds bade me peace.
I resolve to remember the effect,
the sublime ecstasy to the soul, the light and joy of nature.

I rose lazily
on a crisp February morning,
the snow
shimmering brightly
in wintry white.

Old Maid

Posted on August 21, 2021October 22, 2022 by Erin B.
I hear mother warn me
I would be an
old maid.
Well, perhaps my need of solitude
is all I look for
in this life.
