Those Little Things
Do you remember…
Whispering that everything would be fine
Standing for hours beside my bed
Dear brother of mine
Can you recall…
When we danced together
You were so proud to say
Look, this is my little sister!
Do you still know…
Our fights about school
You wanted me to be better than you
But I thought that I was way too cool
Do you think about…
The times you got so mad
If anyone tried to hurt me
You couldn’t stand to see me being sad
I do remember…
All those little things, every day
You left a hole inside of me
Ever since Death took you away…

In memory of a ray of light.
Sweet dreams, dear Marvin. We will miss you so much, but you will be in our hearts forever…
A final Goodnight…
–
Laughing
Sparkling like a waterfall
Honest and true
Silenced
–
Hugs
Tight as a cocoon
Sweet and strong
Faded
–
Dancing
Like music itself
Joyful and fun
Stopped
–
Love
Given, without hesitation
Easy and real
Never gone
–
Dreaming
Finally, no more struggling
Calm and gentle
A final Goodnight…
–
Love you, always.

What’s Love?
–
Rather being hurt
Than be the reason for someone’s pain
It’s not logical
Sometimes even insane
Just the simple truth
Not a comfortable lie
Even if that means
The other one says goodbye
Rather protect
Than run away
Never leave
Always stay
Just being there
May it be day or night
When someone needs you
To make sure they’re alright
Rather open up
Than build a wall
Never letting someone down
Staying loyal
Just making someone smile
Even if they’re stubborn
Care freely
And expect nothing in return
Rather go through hell
Than give up
Even when it seems hopeless
Fighting through and never stop
Just doing little things
To make someone happy
Keeping someone safe in your heart
Now, that is love, if you ask me…

One gift
–
I know that I won’t get
That one gift I really want
For Christmas this year
Because
I don’t want something fancy
No need
To buy me anything
Because what I really want
Is not for sale
Anywhere
I don’t want
Anything for me
I just want
You to be happy
No pain
Rushing through your body
I just want
You
To
Hold on
To experience
Joy and love
I just wish
You can be yourself
Again
That’s all I need
For Christmas
The one gift I really want…

On ‘Throwback Thursdays’ I want to share some older Poems and post of mine. I hope you will enjoy! 🙂
I wrote this article a couple of months ago. I still wholeheartedly believe in those words.
Love is powerful and those who are capable of loving deeply, will get hurt deeply.
But love makes you feel alive…
Check THIS Post to read my opinion on ‘True Love’.
Lots of Love,

On ‘Throwback Thursdays’ I want to share some older Poems and post of mine. I hope you will enjoy!
Today I want to share a Poetrics with you I wrote for my little brother a while ago.
Poetrics is a combination of lyrics from some of my favorite songs and poetry I write inspired by these songs.
I take the essence of the song, the meaning it has, and write a poem on that. Then I let the lyrics of the song dance through the poem.
Note: The lyrics always stay the property of the band or artist who wrote them. All the credit goes to them.
Part of the lyrics of “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz
I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I’m here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you’re still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn’t break, we didn’t burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I’ve got, and what I’m not, and who I am
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up, still looking up.
A question that always lingers in the back of my head…
Would my big brother be proud of me now?
Would he say: ‘That’s my little sis!’ like he said when I was younger and we danced together.
Can he see the things I have accomplished?
Would he be proud?
I really hope so…
I love you and I miss you bro…
Lots of Love,
Patty
