THE CHAINS THAT BIND

Image
  The Chains That Bind Every day I feel this dread. The moment I get out of bed. It’s overwhelming. I’m all consumed. It’s like my life is only doomed. I really need to find a way. To stop this feeling that wants to stay. If only it would finally end. Then maybe I could start to mend. But healing whispers, soft and clear. Remind me that the light is near. Though shadows cling and hopes feel small. I have the strength to face it all. Each breath I take, each step I try. Is proof my spirit will not die. For even through the weight I bear. A brighter dawn waits in the air. And when that day begins to rise. I’ll greet the sun with clearer eyes. No longer trapped, no longer chained. But freer, stronger, and reclaimed. I am the light, I am the flame. Each day I wake, I’ll rise again. Through all the darkness, I will see. There’s still a brighter part of me.

SECOND GEAR

Image
Second Gear I have always told myself Try not to shed a tear And do not ever let yourself Go face-to-face with fear And absolutely never let Anyone come near I’m sure that it’s the reason why I’m stuck in second gear I just can’t seem to change my ways Or my point of view When others want me to let them in I don’t know what to do I’ve built my walls up so high Not sure that I’ll break through But recently I’ve started trying Since the day that I met you I’ve always kept my thoughts inside Afraid of letting go I learned to run from every truth And never let it show I smile when I am breaking down So no one else will know But you saw past the practiced mask And let your patience grow I don’t yet know what love should mean But something feels so right For once I see a different path No longer lost in night You’ve lit a spark I can’t explain That brings my heart to light So if you’re here to walk with me Please stay and hold on tight Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.1...

MAMA, HOW I MISS YOU

Image
Mama, How I Miss You Mama, how I miss you Life is not the same I have survivor's guilt I feel like I’m to blame I’m supposed to carry on But I don’t know how to do it How can I keep going Without you here to help me through it Some days I hear your whisper In a breeze or a moonbeam But when I reach to hold you You vanish like a dream I try to be so strong I smile, I fake, I cope But deep inside, I’m begging For one more thread of hope I wish that I had said more I wish that I had known That you’d be gone so quickly And I’d face this world alone I talk to you in silence I cry when no one sees I hope you hear my aching heart When I drop down to my knees But maybe love like ours Can never break or die And maybe when I miss you You’re the warmth behind the sky But sometimes in the quiet When I’m crumbling at the seams I feel you wrap around me Like sunlight in my dreams Mama, how I miss you I hope you know how much you meant I swear you’re here right now For I smell your powdered scent...

FROM THE FLAME

Image
From The Flame I loved you more than words could show, But love can’t bloom where cold winds blow. You left, and still I learned to stand, With trembling heart and open hand. At first, I begged the stars to mend. The silence carved where once was friend. But prayers can’t hold what won’t hold back, And hope can break when hearts go slack. You chose the door, and rang the bell. A quiet exit. No farewell. Yet here I am. Not wrecked. Not small. I cried. I broke… But did not fall. Your absence taught me how to bend. Without the need for you to tend. And in the echo of your name, I built a fire from the flame. I stitched my soul with threads of grace. No longer longing for your face. You left a wound, but I’m the cure. A love like mine will always endure. So when the past comes back to call, I’ll meet it strong. I will not crawl. I loved, I lost... But now I  see. The one I needed… was always me. Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.3.2025

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

YOU ARE SUBLIME

Image
  Canva AI Image You Are Sublime I want you to fly! I want you to soar! I want you to realize, You are worth fighting for! You need to remember, Through all of your days. That when God gave out brightness, He set yours to blaze. You are a beacon of light. You help strengthen others. Always uplifting. The best of all mothers. When shadows come calling, Remember your shine. And what was tough one day, The next will be fine. I want you to soar! I want you to fly! Your wings always pointing, Straight up to the sky! Life might be hard. But not all the time! You need only realize, That you are sublime! Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.20.2025

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, ...

A LIFE OF POETRY

A love like ours. Could light the night. I’m asking you. To marry me. Together in. Perfect Harmony. Please say yes. And take my hand. And by your side. I’ll always stand. Give me a chance. I’ll make you see. The two of us. Will live happily! Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.6.2025

SING INTO THE SILENCE

Image
  Canva AI Image Sing Into The Silence Sing into the silence. To help end all the violence. Your voice needs to be heard. Speak your truth with every word. Always  stand up and stand tall. Even when your back’s against the wall. Be proud. Don't be afraid. Get on your path if you have strayed. Be strong when others are not able. Help them to become more stable. Don’t ever give up the fight. You can help to make things right. Spread your light upon this earth. By showing others what they’re worth. With the inner flame you always bring. Remember in the silence, it’s okay to sing. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 4.30.2025

CONFIDENCE

Image
This was inspired by and written for my dear friend Tim Campbell. Thank you for everything, Tim! ♥️ Canva AI Image Confidence Where is my confidence? I can only find doubt. Never seems to matter, What it’s about. Always second guessing. Can’t make up my mind. And when I finally choose, I always try to hit rewind. Nothing gets accomplished. Because I can’t decide. The longer I let things go, The more I let them slide. Lord, I need your help. Please give me a sign. I need your loving guidance, In this life of mine. I’ve come to a conclusion. I’ll start following my gut. And maybe that will help me, To get out of this rut. Lord, thank you for the patience, That you have given me. I’ve come to a decision, I CHOOSE to be happy!

HAPPILY

Image
Canva AI Image Happily   Your caress is what I want. No. What I need to feel.  I’ve never felt passion so intense. Or desire so real. I need to be wrapped. In your tender, loving embrace. Your hand gently stroking. The side of my face. I crave your smell. Your unique sexual scent. I love how you listen. Whenever I vent.  The way you love me. Like no other. In a way. That would never smother. You’ll never know. What you now mean to me. But I’ll spend the rest of my life. Showing you. Happily. Original Poetry Written By  Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) 4.22.2025

THE WHISPER

Image
Canva AI Image The Whisper   I feel you  A little whisper wrapped around my heart  I sense you  At dark of night and morning start I taste you  In my mouth and on my tongue  I hear you  You’re the song I’ve always sung  I crave you  I need to feel your loving touch  I yearn for you  I’ve never wanted someone so much  I promise you  I’ll make you brightly shine  I claim you  I am yours and you are mine  Original Poetry Written By  Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) 4.22.2025

I ONCE CALLED YOU MINE

Image
  Canva AI Image I Once Called You Mine Loving you was such a blessing Losing you. The hardest lesson They say that time will help you heal The pain inside. The ache you feel I just don’t see how that is true When every thought’s consumed by you And although our time had to end I smell your perfume on the wind And then I know you’re somewhere near Your presence helps to calm my fear I know one day we’ll meet again And even though I don’t know when I’ll wait for you until that day And lift you up each time I pray No matter the years or how old I’ve grown You’ll always be the greatest love I’ve known And from the heavens I see your light shine And smile knowing, I once called you mine Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 3.27.2025

Your Scars - A Poem By Dave

YOUR SCARS   Copyright (c) 2.7.2025 You hide behind the scars Left behind by other men Vow never to be open Scared pain will come again The hurt that they created Cut you to the core Made you decide to face this world Alone forever more. You came into my life Or I came into yours We connected through your words Neither knowing what was in store. Quickly sharing our stories Of life and loves gone by The bond it came so easily We didn’t have to try I got to know the person The mirror couldn’t see Those scars others made Look like beauty marks to me All the good and all the bad That led us up to here Made you the person I adore With the heart I hold so dear I can’t hide the love I have for you And the person that you are All pieces and the cracks I even love your scars Poetry Written By: Dave Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

MENTAL HEALTH

  Mental Health It’s not that easy. Baring my soul. It truly doesn’t give me, Any more control. Sharing my trauma, Is not a real gain. By writing about it, I relive all my pain. But I do it. Not just to strengthen myself. But to bring more awareness, To Mental Health. I will say, I use to feel so alone. But since this journey started, My family has grown. And also, I can’t thank you enough. For being here for me.. Through the good, the bad, the rough. I will never be able, To honestly express it. You’ve taken over my life, And now truly bless it! So no, It’s not easy. Laying my soul bare. But I do it to show you, How much I care. I do it to prove, That I can still feel. Because this Mental Health Business, Is so fucking real.
