  The Scent of Us My pain is my perfume, You wear grief like cologne. The fragrance surrounds us, Each scent stands alone. We linger in silence, Our sorrows entwine, Yet even with distance, Your ache mirrors mine. The air feels familiar… A blend of regret. The ghosts of our losses, We cannot forget. Still I breathe you in softly, Through sorrow and rain. For even in heartache, There’s beauty in pain. But time is a cleanser, A wind through the years. It carries our anguish, It softens our tears. And maybe one morning, When memories' fade, We’ll walk through the sunlight, No longer afraid. For pain is just proof, That love had its day. And the scent of our story, Will never decay.

  Into The Thaw You come off cold. Your heart encased, In layers thick with frost. But if you let me help you thaw, You’ll find what once was lost. If you choose to stay this way, The ice will surely spread. Yet if you let me through your walls, I’ll melt each frozen thread. I understand why you retreat, Why icy silence hides your pain. But walls that keep out hurt and loss Bind love in heavy chain. I vow to stay, through sun or storm, No matter what may be. For I was once an ice queen too… Entrapped in misery. If you don’t allow the ice to melt, You’ll lose your tender soul. You’ll never feel the warmth again, You’ll break and won’t be whole. But I can see beneath it all, The brilliant way you used to glow. Together we’ll reclaim your fire, And let your true and pure heart flow. So take my hand. Release the past, Let winter’s coldness flee. Your spring awaits, just trust my warmth… And fall  into  the  thaw   with   me. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunb...

  STUMBLING THROUGH THE DARK When you’re feeling overwhelmed and you think you’ve lost your spark. You’re blinded by your tears and you’re stumbling through the dark. Don’t know which way is up or which direction you should turn. And the ache that has consumed you has now become an endless burn. Whatever situation. However big. However small. I’d run a million miles. I’ll always catch you when you fall. Nothing else will matter. I don’t care what is at stake. I will always be there. When you’re whole or when you break. You are that important. And by your side I’ll always stand. I’d cover any distance. I’m reaching out a steady hand. I’ll find you in the darkness. I’ll never leave, I hope you know. I’ll pull you into sunlight. Away from where the shadows grow. No matter what the challenge. Through the good days and the bad. Through the laughter and the struggles. Through all the tears when you are sad. I stand with open arms. Fall into me each time you break. I’ll always hold you up...

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...

  TILL WE BOTH ASCEND Suddenly I get a chill. And then I feel the greatest thrill. Your face is staring back at me. It’s more than just a memory. I smell your scent upon a breeze. It calms my heart. I’m filled with ease. I swear that I can feel you near. I think that you are really here. I feel your hand upon my cheek. I try but I can’t seem to speak. Tears start running down my face. Because now I’m wrapped in your embrace. I try my best to catch my breath. I’ve been so lost since your death. The days are blurred and I’ve lost track. But somehow, someway you’ve made it back. A cosmic design. My one soulmate. Divinely touched. The hands of fate. Brought us together once again. Reunited with my best friend. A love so grand it must transcend. I won't let go, till we both ascend. For a bond like ours can never end. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 6.19.2025

Canva AI Image Waterfalls You see a blank canvas. While I see bare walls. Where I see leaky faucets. You see waterfalls. You hear a dad joke. And laugh throughout the day. Where I just roll my eyes. Shake my head and walk away. They say opposites attract. You’re the Yin and I’m the Yang. I just can’t get enough. I circle back. A boomerang. Through your eyes I see the world. In such a different light. It’s like my eyes were closed. And you gave me back my sight. I can’t imagine life. Without you by my side. You’ve wiped away my pain. And all the tears I’ve cried. As far as I’m concerned. We’ll always be together. So there’s something I must ask. Will you marry me forever? Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 6.18.2025

Canva AI Image Pure And Tender I’m falling to pieces Like a puzzle unfinished I move like a zombie With my vision diminished Which way do I turn My path is unclear Being lost and alone Is my greatest fear If I reach out my hand Will you pull me close I need your courage Like I need a dose Will you be my companion Will you walk with me Will you show me the way Or will you only flee I desperately need you My partner in crime I feel like I’m starting To run out of time My heart’s feeling frozen My emotions are numb So my arms are wide open You need only come Please come to me I need your strength I’m willing and able To go any length Your love gives me power You’re one of a kind There is no one better That I’ll ever find So let’s walk this path Us two together And share in a love That will last forever I reach out my hand To you I surrender Two lives joined as one In a love pure and tender Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 6.17.2025

Shadows of the past Your inner child carries scars that never fade, A weight that presses down, a burden to be made. In life and love, you search for a gentle hand, But every touch feels fleeting, lost in the sand. You yearn for love, for someone to see, The real you, beyond the walls you've built to be. But no matter how you give, no matter how you try, It's never enough, and tears fall, wondering why. Heartbreak echoes, a shattered soul's refrain, Your world upside down, consumed by pain. You claw your way back, through darkness and despair, A never-ending battle, with no one there to care. Nice people get taken, their kindness exploited and worn, Left alone with thoughts that fester and scorn. Fear of love again, fear of trust, a heart locked away, Afraid to let someone in, afraid of the price you'd pay. In the well of life, you're lost and alone, Forever searching for a way back home. Your heart, a fragile thing, shattered and worn, Longing for love, but afraid ...

"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, ...

  Canva AI Image Smitten   Some things in life are just forbidden. So I must keep my feelings hidden.  To me, she hung the Stars and the Moon. Every time I think of her, I start to swoon. In my eyes, she’s everything. She’s like no other. She works two jobs. She’s a single mother.  Flowing blonde hair and brown eyes that smile. She’s always willing to go that extra mile. I wish I could tell her how I truly feel. How much her friendship has helped me to heal. I choose to stay quiet and don’t say a word. About how my broken heart has finally stirred. What I want to have with her must be unbidden. So to keep her in my life, I keep my truth hidden. But I have to wonder, if she already might know. That my love for her continues to grow. She’s my greatest blessing. She’s my best friend. And that’s all that matters to me in the end. So I’ll bottle it up and store it on my shelf. I’ll keep these feelings of love to myself. And that’s okay if I have to keep it all furled. Bec...

  Canva AI Image Bear How does no one see the real you? Are they looking through a different lens? Because the first day that we met, I knew we’d be the best of friends. You are such a gentle giant. With the biggest heart of gold. The way your aura shines so bright, It’s breathtaking to behold. Everyday I count my blessings. Because that’s what you are to me. A man so full of love and life. You have me laughing endlessly. I’ve been searching for you for centuries.  In this lifetime and beyond. And in you I’ve found acceptance. A love with an unbreakable bond. I adore you like no other. I will forever guard your heart. With you I'm like a "mama bear". I won't let anyone tear you apart. Some people see kindness as weakness. To me, it’s your greatest strength. I promise to always protect you. I’ll go to any length. And deep down I already know, That you’d do the same for me. So get over here, you big lovable Bear. Because you’re my family!

  Canva AI Image My Fish Out Of The Sea You’re a song I’ve always sung With words, I’ve always known You’re the creamer for my coffee That I no longer drink alone You brought me back to living With a love that won't condone You understand my boundaries And when I’m in the zone It’s like you’re my private ocean And I just get to swim You always seem to brighten me When my light starts to dim You’re the answer to my prayers That I used to cry to Him And you don’t ever pick on me When my bangs might need a trim I guess I’m trying to say And not too eloquently That you will always be my person My fish out of the sea You accept my broken pieces With you I feel so free I'm grateful for the way You are Thank You for loving Me Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.21.2025

Canva AI Image The Strength of a Woman Have you ever met a woman Who you didn’t think was strong? She fights all her own battles And can admit when she is wrong. The things her body goes through From pregnancy to birth. And how she loves her children With everything she’s worth. Don’t forget her menstrual cycle The monthly ebb and flow. Yeast infections, UTI’s And some things you’ll never know. Can you imagine all the emotions A woman feels throughout the day? Happy, sad, thankful, mad There’s such a vast array. This doesn’t scratch the surface Of all the struggles a woman must go through. A wife, a sister, a daughter, a mom Praise all she does for you! With the love of a good woman Who puts her faith in you. You’ll find she also lends her strength So there's nothing you can’t do. Tell her thanks. Show her love And don’t let her forget. That there’s strength in every woman But she’s the strongest you have met! Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.22.2025
