Always In Love

Posted on July 13, 2023July 13, 2023 by Erin B.
Always in love,
he never doubted whether
his early years, full of passion
and immorality were too stiff
to be interesting.

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.

Given Up

He'd almost given up
on love.
Years of fantasizing came to
a thousand lonely nights.
Time was running out.

Eighteen Years

At eighteen years -
I was wild,
I didn't fear
the coffin or the grave.

Existence of Happiness

Posted on May 2, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
It is strange
how the existence of happiness
completes your heart
even when body is gone.
Men seldom cherish
the solace of declining years.

Time Flowed

Time flowed on
slowly,
until years passed wild
and never stopped.
