STILL YOU RISE

Image
Still You Rise 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. Yet still you rise, still speak your name. The mountain bowed but did not break. The spirit 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 wears a crown. Some s...

IF ALL THE WORLD WERE BLIND

Image
  If All The World Were Blind If all the world were blind, How would you make yourself be seen? Would you shine your light so brightly, Or try to rule like a queen? Of all the things to ponder, I think  that’s  what matters most. Would you proudly stand up for others, Or choose to fade out like a ghost? Would you live life to the fullest, Or just be an empty shell? Would your scent be intoxicating, Or in fact, would it repel? Would your words be kind and honest, Or sharpened like a knife? Would you save someone who’s drowning, Or let them forfeit their own life? Would you choose the path that’s easy, Or the one that asks for more? Would you open up your heart, Or keep it locked behind a door? When no one’s watching closely, No applause. No guiding sign. Would you choose to be the healing light, Or walk the straight and narrow line? Because sight was never vision, And crowns don’t make you seen. It’s in the way that you treat others, That truly proves that you’re a quee...

THE STILLNESS OF YOU

Image
THE STILLNESS OF YOU You are my anchor. You keep me from drifting. Our bond is so strong. Your mere presence, uplifting. The stillest of waters, Can run dangerously deep. Yet you quiet my soul, When my heart wants to weep. You are my safe harbor . When my mind's storm runs asunder. Always calming my spirit, When it's pounded by thunder. When shadows grow heavy, You help me to see… That serenity's not found. It’s created in me. You steady my course, When I start to sway. You remind me of light, When skies turn to gray. Through each crashing wave, You have anchored me true. Now my heart's found its peace... In the  stillness of you . Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 11.14.2025

THE TRUTH OF LOVE

Image
  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

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!

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  

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

PUTTY IN YOUR HANDS

Image
  Canva AI Image Putty In Your Hands Like a sunrise chasing a shadow Or an aura embracing its glow Like words that rhyme on paper Or a melody’s gentle flow To me your love’s the sun rays That light up the darkest days And I can hear the music When I get lost in your gaze I will always be the coin If you will be the wishing well And I’d wear your scent all over me If I could bottle up your smell I’m the vibrant, wild flower You are the rain that helps me grow Our love is like a forest Full of seeds starting to sow I’ll never find the perfect words To describe all I want to say But I am the putty, you are the hands And I’m ready for you to mold my clay 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, ...

FOR I AM NOW YOUR HOME

Image
  Canva AI Image For I Am Now Your Home You will rarely see me dressed up, in something that is formal. And you will probably call me weird, as I am far from normal. When you think no one is looking, I will make you feel seen. Because I have been called many things, but I have never been called mean. With me, you are protected, for I am your safe place. I am here to offer comfort, in my arms and heart’s embrace. My door is always open, however far you roam. Providing you with endless love, for I am now your home.

CONSIDER THIS GOODBYE

Image
  Consider This Goodbye My spirit might be broken But I will always be outspoken I will stand up for what’s right I will not give up the fight. My name, you will not sully I do not care if you’re a bully Where you tear people down I straighten out their crown You are a poison, not a gift Where as I always uplift Maybe you should try it Instead, you just deny it Words cut like a knife I will not allow you in my life With wings I soar so high And away from you, I fly You are just not a nice guy So consider this goodbye Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.9.2025

THE LOVE THAT WE SHARE

Image
  Canva AI Image The Love That We Share I am lost and alone and a little afraid. Worried about all the mistakes I have made. Can I break free of these bonds? Of all of these chains? Or will I always be marked, by these blundering stains? I must try my best. No matter how hard. Don’t want to be known, as the girl who is scarred. Because there is more. So much more to me. And one day soon, the whole world will see. I am bigger than all of my pain and my hurt. I wear a coat of armor, beneath every shirt. I don’t have a choice. I must always be strong. Must show my boy, how to fix what is wrong. Because of my son, now I am truly happy. With the love that we share, I am finally free! Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 4.28.2025
