Broken & Wild

By E.R. King

My hope is that you find a sense of humanity
and humility in these writings.

Knowing as complex as we are as human beings,
we are all just equally fragile souls,
walking around this world,
trying to find somewhere we belong.

Valkyrie

She was the kind of girl whose mind

is unapologetically chaotic.

She was fierce in her authenticity,

I miss your lips on my neck

and the involuntary sounds, escaping me.

She was the last person I expected to see,

walking up my driveway

that September evening.

We embraced and for a moment

time stopped.

We never fought.

We never walked out of each other’s lives.

In this moment

we were just two people,

who once meant so much to the other,

coming back to a time

when everything wasn’t complicated.

Emblazed

I’d cross that line for you

just to have you leave me burning

down to a smoldering ember.

Just when I
