—
The indifferent sun sets
and on the horizon remain
all of the past regrets
the world, now their domain
Hooded shadows roam the night
frightened children under the sheets
their tiny sweaty fists clenched tight
seek the promised land of dreams
But the dreams refuse to come
some invisible eyes steadily gaze
darkness soothes the lucky some
the rest of us lie and shiver in a daze

Welcome.
I’m Erna, the writer and creator behind this space. I’m a creative business owner, lifelong lover of words, and a devoted cat lady. Slavic mythology sits at the heart of my work, and here you’ll find my poems, book reviews, retellings of old myths, and glimpses into my own books and writing journey.
Make yourself comfortable. Stories live here.
My poetry collection Beneath the Surface revolves around the secrets, weaknesses, and monsters that creep beneath the surface of the everyday existence. Go here to learn more!
