Spirit Love

Posted on September 16, 2023September 16, 2023 by Erin B.
The rawness of old love,
of that spirit love,
given surely, through the senses -
ours is not a trivial mortal affection.

Spend time on the good
and keep going
past those old hurts.
I want to be in peace with
a clean slate.

Fall And Rise

Posted on August 18, 2022August 18, 2022 by Erin B.
Listen carefully,
the fall and rise struggling
to be heard.
This song was familiar,
full of loneliness
an old ballad imprisoned
in his ghost.

Old Maid

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.

I say truly
as I draw closer to the end
my heart is better
in old age.
