Hello to all my fellow PoemHunters! My name is Erika, I am 36 years old and the mother of three wonderful children. I have a 20 year old daughter, a 17 year old son and my youngest son is 7. I am also now the proud Grandmother of a precious and adorable 8 month old little baby girl. My very first grandchild and I'm loving it! I am happily married to a man who has been the one and only love of my life for the past 21 years. I have much to be grateful for and I am truly blessed. I began writing poetry when I was 12 years old. It has always been very therapeutic for me as a way to release and express innermost thoughts and feelings, Where I was comfortable enough to be candid and vulnerable in ways that I was never quite able to be anywhere else in my life. My other interests are reading, singing (music) , and evolving spiritually. I try to exist in the divine space of universal oneness that connects us all to each another. I believe that all creativity is a direct conduit linking us to the sacred energy source of all that is. The Creator or the God force of the universe. My hope is that those of you who happen to read my work will enjoy and appreciate it as much as I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated reading yours.
Many Blessings...
I am thinking of you
Thoughts of you swirl throughout
The recesses of my mind
Bitter-sweetened torture
...
I honestly feel like
I'm losing my mind
Without you
As time keeps on passing
...
So enchanting,
Watching, as you begin to steal my empty heart
Away from me and fill it in with brand new dreams
And memories
...
My heart is filled with the ashes
Of our love burned away
I've emptied out my soul
Until there's nothing left to say
...
