The Foundation Of Love

THE FOUNDATION OF LOVE

I think passion is like beauty. It will also fade.
So marrying your best friend is the best plan made.
I know friendship is the key to this foundation.
I’ve only recently come to this realization.
So I think when I am ready that’s what I’m gonna look for.
Something that I’ve definitely never had before.
And maybe all my past relationships have been a lie.
The reason why I was always with the wrong guy.
How many of you already knew this?
Have been living this whole time in wedded bliss?
Is it some secret, private conversation?
I’d be shouting it to the entire nation!
Because I want all of us to be happy and in love.
Because I think this is what true dreams are made of.
A deep love that is shared with your best friend.
This is what I want. And now I’m ready to begin.

Eryn, your poem is a beautiful and heartfelt reflection on love, friendship, and self-discovery. I love how you weave together the fleeting nature of passion and beauty with the enduring strength of a friendship-based relationship—it's a fresh and honest take. The way you transition from personal realization to a universal call for happiness is so uplifting and relatable. Lines like "A deep love that is shared with your best friend" really hit home, capturing a truth that feels both timeless and newly discovered. Your rhythm and sincerity make this piece shine great job!

Love is friendship, a partnership...loving, sharing, caring and even crying together. When you are ready, you will have it. And your wish for everyone to hhave it is beautiful.

Tim, I have just recently come to this conclusion... that the greatest love you can share romantically with someone, is one with a foundation of friendship. So yes, you can say that I finally see myself and what I want with a partner.

I truly do want everyone to have this type of love at least once in their life. Everyone deserves to feel this way. You as well, my dear friend Melvin.

Luis, as always I sincerely thank you. I think it took me to getting to this age for me to finally have this realization. I want compassion and companionship from my partner. I think I used to always need the butterflies, but I no longer crave that feeling. I want a best friend that I can grow old with. I can even picture myself with this person, holding hands on the front porch in our favorite rocking chairs, while enjoying a beautiful sunset together. Both wearing a soft, content smile on our faces. 🤗

THE PATH TO MY HEART

The Path To My Heart I gave you a map. It led straight to my heart. But you took the paper, And ripped it apart. Did I walk away? No, I lived in the lie. I gave you more chances. I thought you would try. But I guess that my map, Just leads to heartbreak. A pain so damn deep, A chasm of ache. So I’ve made a new map. One just for me. No twists to avoid. It will make me happy. I’ll follow this path. And I’ll take every turn. Till the pain is all gone. And I don’t feel the burn. And I'll reclaim my power. I'll reclaim my light. And I'll finally remember, That I'm worth the fight. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.9.2025

FOOL'S GOLD

  FOOL'S GOLD Never again You won’t see my face The way you treat others Is such a disgrace Your essence is toxic Your lips drip with lies You’re selfish and hateful Beneath your disguise You’re like a fungus A spore or black mold You think you’re a gem But you’re just fool’s gold You’re made up of layers But even snakes shed their skin You’re not only noxious You’re the eighth deadly sin It took at most months And not several years To see how you prey Upon everyone’s fears You find out their secrets Then laugh as you share Breaking their hearts They just laid out bare But here’s a little something  I guess you didn’t know Those others you talk to See how you dim their glow They like themselves more Than they’ll ever like you They’ll have long walked away Before you’ll have your first clue So go wear your charm And spin your tall tales The ship that I’m on Has long set its sails Now I’ve risen up And I’ve slammed the door I won't allow you to imprint On my life  ANYMORE O...

THE TRUTH OF LOVE

-

  The Truth Of Love Love means giving someone freedom While nurturing your bond And although it is magical It’s not made with a wand It isn’t built on fairy dust Or sealed with just a kiss It takes deep roots and daily care To grow a love like this It’s not control or ownership It’s not a silent war Real love will never cage your wings It will only help you soar It holds you close, yet lets you breathe It lifts, but doesn’t bind It sees your flaws and loves you still With honesty that’s kind It won’t be perfect every day And sometimes it feels tough But even through the hard and raw You’ll know that it’s enough So if you find a heart like this That helps you rise above Then hold it close, and honor it You’ve found the truth of love Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 8.21.2025
