It Seemed to Begin

Posted on October 14, 2023October 14, 2023 by Erin B.
It seemed to begin
with a smokey haze of mutual love,
a flawless, naked contentment
enclosed them slowly,
lazily,
charmed by the romantic hearts
in love.

Undress You

Books undress you
with love.
Read slowly, you'll feel like
yourself again.

Paralysis

Posted on February 12, 2023February 12, 2023 by Erin B.
The soul
felt a terrible ache,
the years went
slowly numb
in a spread of paralysis,
of shock,
an inward emptiness
in her soul.
Like dead leaves crumpling
to powder,
blown away on the wind.

New Era

Posted on October 15, 2022October 15, 2022 by Erin B.
Just when you thought
the story
is at an end, 
how lovely. A new era begun:
I am slowly, beginning to delight again
in living,
my heart pouring out, and
my dreams better.

Slowly

Posted on April 25, 2022October 26, 2022 by Erin B.
He had awakened
a slumber in me,
with lips
to kiss
so slowly, slowly, slowly.
