THE WITCHES DEN

The Witches Den


Through a darkened forest
Where no willows weep
And no light breaks through
Though shadows leap

There lives a witch
Whose feared by all
They shield their ears
From her cackled call

On her cottage door
There hangs a sign
“Think long and hard
Before you cross this line”

The story warns
Don’t meet her gaze
Or you’ll disappear
And be lost for days

Rumors swirl
That when you return
You wear the mark
Of the Witches burn

What that means
Is she owns your soul
Your name now etched
On her Witches Scroll

There are those whose fear
Caves to their desire
So they willingly
Brave the Witches Ire

You must take the path quickly
Follow all the way round
Watch out for the vines
That’ll pull you down in the ground

If you actually make it
To the Witches Den
That’s the beginning
Of your end

Your life’s worth more
Than a sketchy spell
If you choose unwisely
Your path leads to hell

So heed the signs
That warn you away
And live to see
Another day

“ The Witches’ Den” is an eerie folk tale poem that takes one through a dark forest to a feared witch’s lair. The mind imagery of shadows and grabbing vines. The witch’s sign and soul claiming “Witches’ Scroll,” add to the tension. The tale flows from warning to a risky journey, ending with a sharp moral. I feel the poem balances fear and draw. It’s a haunting piece with a soul-at-stake vibe.

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
