That heartbreaking face
and eyes
of incredible delicacy,
something made you want to stare

Steeped In Sunshine

Your face is bright
all steeped in sunshine,
more beautiful than
the water singing
as it runs
on a great day.

Live With That

Posted on December 7, 2022December 7, 2022 by Erin B.
I gave up a love
so incredible:
he had me in a shiver of flesh
and touch...
I think of the face I love
and he is gone.
I know I have to live with that.

Surviving

A great fatigue: this
stagnant point
in my poisoned body.
My corpse-like face
nothing to you, my love.
I was surviving.

When did I stop being me?

Everyday Love

to be as natural and necessary
as breathing.
That golden, everyday love
was a face smiling at me before I
go to sleep.

Fierce Longings

Posted on July 10, 2021August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
The fierce longings
of his heart was alien.
He had grown to realize he brooded
a cynical image of
the world.
A figure came to him in sleep,
her face veiled but desire
traversed his memory.
