Deliberate Love

Posted on December 16, 2023December 16, 2023 by Erin B.
The capacity to love with
body and soul
is within one's control.
Deliberate love should take hold
of desire
and want with all that
raging heart.

Why We Write

Posted on July 15, 2023July 15, 2023 by Erin B.
Chapter 1
Why We Write

Everyone feels inconspicuous,
just one among many,
but every once in a while
a person feels something more,
an instinct which burns
in lifelong desire.

Women

Posted on March 5, 2023March 5, 2023 by Erin B.
I really like women.
To a woman...
love and desire
are mutually exclusive
and happen
at the same time.

In The Rain

I rather had
a sudden desire to rush
with a wild laugh,
and run
naked
in the rain.

Sugar Rush

Posted on November 3, 2022November 3, 2022 by Erin B.
A little voice
in my mind
would admit I deeply denied
how his promises
of comfort and love
are empty desire.
A sugar rush.
I feel momentarily moved,
but alone.

Desire And Despair

Desire and despair,
they were like magnets
that clashed,
colliding again and again,
obsessively
all her life.
