Dedicated Poetry: Leap of Faith

I wrote this for someone who became one of my best friends quite fast.

Thank you for letting me believe in true friendship again.

I can’t imagine my life without you anymore…

Leap of faith

—

There is no safety net

No guarantees

Other than the words you said

And the things I feel

–

Dreary days of yore

Filled with grief

I’ve never shared before

It still needs to heal

–

There is much uncertainty

It’s a leap of faith

To let you look inside of me

And remove my soul’s seal

–

I decided to believe you

And took the plunge

Friends always stay true

That is the deal

–

There is no parachute

No security

Your promises sound cute

But are they for real?

–

Suspicious, damaged heart

But filled with hope

Showing you my weakest part

It still feels surreal

–

There is no warranty

No back-up plan

Only trust in loyalty

To melt a heart of steel

–

With a leap of faith I found

A friendship for life

Sweet and profound

As time shall reveal…

Relapse

Relapse

–

Broken promises

Not one

I could keep

The road to salvation

Is much too steep

I am

into deep

The poison

Is what’s strangling me

Seduces me

Every time

Comforting numbness

Day after day

Another lost mission

A mind let astray

I am

drifting away

I lie and betray

The sanction

Is my lost mind

Falling behind

Every damn time

I relapse

Throwback Thursday: Just be You

On Throwback Thursdays I want to share some older Poems and Posts of me.

I hope you enjoy! 🙂

Fire…

Fire

 –

Nothing can temper the fire

That blazes inside of me

Powerful and relentless

It burns wild and free

 –

With flames of determination

I will achieve my goal

Forceful and ruthless

It burns inside my soul

– 

The heat will leave its mark

On anyone who tries to stop me

Hopeful and careless

It burns so fiercely

 –

No one can control the fire

That surrounds my spirit

And if you would ever try

You’ll wish you never did…

Poem for today: Dark Side

Dark Side

–

How can you say that you love me

If you don’t want to see my dark side?

The part of me that’s covered in sadness

If you can’t handle that I’m broken?

Splinters of the life I lived

Times I endured

Nightmares that came to life

If you don’t want to share real things with me?

The things that matter

If you are not there for me?

Through the dark times

The laughter and tears

If you don’t want to see the real me and show me the real you…

How can you say that you love me?

Throwback Thursday: Beautiful Deception

On Throwback Thursdays I want to share some older Poems and Posts of me.

This time I’ve chosen one with artwork I am still pretty proud of! 🙂

Hope you will enjoy.

 

Beautiful Deception

–

Singing

A voice soft like velvet

Capturing

Your heart

Wrapping you in like a blanket

–

Beauty

Beyond compare

Bewitching

Your eyes

Nothing to do but stare

–

Tunes

Weaving a magical melody

Enchanting

Your mind

And you give up willingly

–

Intentions

Unforeseen, the perfect crime

Cheating

Your judgment

And now you are out of time

–

Light

She caries to guide you

Deceiving

Your path

Into the waves of blue

–

Siren

Committing the perfect theft

Stealing

Your soul

Until there is nothing left…

Poetry for today: Deep Down

Deep Down

 –

Are you still there?

Deep down

Under all those layers of

Numbness

Can you even find yourself?

Deep down

Protected by a wall of

Heartlessness

Do you still care?

Deep down

Surrounded by thoughts of

Darkness

Can you even see the light?

Through the fog of

Bitterness

Did you ever know?

Deep down

True friendship and

Kindness

Can you even feel?

Deep down

Underneath that shield of

Hardness

Can you break free?

Deep down

The real you, captivated in

Sadness

Are you still there?

Deep down…
