I WILL RISE

Image
  I Will Rise  The silence feels heavier than diamond or stone, A hollow echo where love had once shone. The nights are so long, as my tears still fall, And grief paints shadows across the wall. Yet even in this aching night, A flicker glows. A softer light. For sorrow, though it bends my frame, Cannot erase love’s steady flame. The heart remembers, fierce and true, The bond that time cannot undo. Though loss has carved its ruthless scar, It shows me just how strong we are. So let me grieve, but let me grow, Through shattered ground new roots still show. And when tomorrow calls my name, I’ll rise again. I'll stake my claim. For hope is born where pain resides, And healing blooms where love abides. The dark may linger, but I see… A brighter day still waits for me.

BACK IN THE DAY

Image
Canva AI Image BACK IN THE DAY Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. (Poetry Prompt) WordPress There once was a time when I’d take risks. Back in the day of floppy disks. I wasn’t scared and I felt free. To take a risk willingly. But nowadays I am numb. Not quite sure what I’ve become. Where’s the girl that I once was? Who loved to chase an adrenaline buzz! She’s not here. I’m someone new. Molded by all that I’ve been through. Yes, I’ve changed but I’m still me. And I’d risk it all to be happy!

BENEATH THE SKIES

Image
  Beneath The Skies When shadows fall and doubts arise, And dreams seem lost beneath the skies, There burns a flame, though small and shy, A spark of strength that will not die. Through weary roads and heavy rain, We walk with hearts that bear the strain. But every step, though slow or steep, Is proof of courage buried deep. The night may whisper tales of fear, Yet morning’s promise draws us near. With every dawn, a brand new chance. A song of hope, a life to dance. So lift your chin, let silence sing, The world still turns, and hearts still spring. You are the light the dark can’t steal, A soul that rises, dares to heal. The cracks you’ve earned from battles fought, Are lines where light pours through each thought. You’ve weathered storms, you’ve felt the flame. And still, you rise, still speak your name. The mountain bowed but did not break. Your spirit's strong for others’ sake. And now it’s time… you’re not alone. This path you walk's not paved in stone. Not every hero wear...

BUILT FROM GRACE

Image
Built From Grace When shadows stretch across the way, And skies forget the light of day. Still in your chest, a spark remains. A silent strength through losses, gains. It whispers,  “Rise, though winds may roar, You’ve crossed dark seas, and you’ll cross more.” Each trial carved a deeper grace. Each scar a map, each tear a trace. You are the flame that won’t burn out. The steady heart, the whispered shout, That says,  “I’m here. I’m not yet done. There’s more to climb, I’ve just begun.” The road ahead may twist and bend, But hope walks with you like a friend. And when your knees begin to shake, Your soul will rise for healing’s sake. Breathe deep, sweet soul. You’ve come so far. You’re made up of the brightest star. The storm has passed, the skies are clear. You’re not alone. You’re loved. You’re  here . So hold this truth through every tide: The light you seek is held inside. And even in your darkest place... You're made of strength and built from grace. Poetry Written B...

FROM JUST AN EMBER

Image
From Just An Ember I let you in My walls came down And then you tore me To the ground I realize now It was too quick I should’ve done it Brick by Brick But lesson learned And heart protected You know the one.. That you rejected But look at me I’m proud to say That I recovered In just one day I’ve refocused And I’m more grounded With an inner peace I’m surrounded Looking inward Heart and mind My life’s purpose I did find I’m meant to write My words can heal So I will share All that I feel And my mistakes Will help you learn That you already Brightly burn Guard your heart But do remember You created fire From just an ember Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 6.22.2025  

Mask And Mirrors - A Poem By Adam Akers

"Masks and Mirrors"   Behind the façade of a functioning life, A storm rages, a war that cuts like a knife. Overthinking, a maze with no escape, A mind that dissects each thought, each ache. In the mirror, a reflection stares, A stranger's eyes, with shadows that glare. The weight of emotions, a burden to bear, A heart that beats, yet feels like stone, with care. The world outside moves, unaware, Of the battles fought, the tears that fall like rain. But in the silence, I scream, I cry, A voice that's muffled, lost in the haze of my mind. In this darkness, I search for a light, A beacon to guide me through the endless night. A glimmer of hope, a chance to break free, From the chains of thoughts that bind me. My surroundings mirror my inner state, A room once tidy, now cluttered and late. The weight of my body, heavy as lead, My mind a whirlwind, my thoughts unsaid. In relationships, a delicate dance, A balance between truth and a masked trance. I yearn for connection, ...

IF ONLY YOU SAW IT

  Canva AI Image If Only You Saw It I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. How you light up a room. How you mesmerize. If only you'd see, what I see myself. Then maybe you’d be less hard on yourself. Because never before have I witnessed such glow. If only you saw it, your confidence might show. For all of your beauty begins on the inside. That is where you will find that your power resides. If only you saw it. What the world and I see. Then maybe, Just Maybe, you’d finally be free. For YOU, my sweet friend deserve to live happily!

FACADE

Image
Canva AI Image Facade I believe that some happiness is a mirage And maybe that’s because I sometimes self sabotage I think my brain needs a good mental massage From all of these questions that are like a barrage I don’t know and I’m still learning But this is a query that leaves me burning For this joy that I’m constantly yearning The answer to which is so discerning    But one day soon I hope to know This happiness that makes others glow Is it real, or just for show The more I ask, the more I grow Yes one day soon, by the Grace of God I’ll be more than a girl who is just flawed Finally my heart will be thawed And I’ll no longer be hiding behind this facade Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.19.2025

MAN O' WAR

Image
  Man O’ War I would have dimmed my light To let your own star blaze. Stared at you contentedly As I got lost in your gaze. I would have flown a spaceship Up to outer space. If there was even half a chance That I would get to see your face. I’d happily traipse through the desert Or fight a man o’ war. Just to have spent the day with you The man that I adore. But what I won’t do is change myself for you  For I am happy as I am. Instead, this is me walking away Because I no longer give a damn. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.19.2025

You Complete Me - A Poem By: Adam Akers

"You Complete Me" In the puzzle of life, I was lost and alone, Until the day I found you, my heart's sweet home. You were the missing piece, the final part, The one that made me whole, a work of art. With you by my side, everything's in place, The pieces fit, the colors match, the love's in its space. You're the missing beat, the rhythm that I need, The harmony that makes my heart sing with glee. In your eyes, I see a love so true, A reflection of the love I feel for you. You complete me, in every single way, You're the missing piece that makes my heart stay. I love you more with each passing day, Forever with you, is where I'll stay. You're the sunshine that brightens my day, The stars that light up the night, in a loving way. You're the calm in every stormy sea, The safe haven where I can be me. With you, my love, I feel complete, Together our love will forever repeat. I promise to love you, through all of life's strife, You complete me, ...
