Poetry for today: Replaceable

Replaceable

~

I thought I needed you
Because I believed you cared
A bond unbreakable
Unshakable
Uncompromising loyalty
But in reality
All was untrue

~

It was all a charade
Masquerade
So disreputable
Acting like we were inseparable
Imperishable
But the truth is
You forsaking me was
inevitable

~

Words are easy to say
Promises made with confidence
A pact sustainable
Believable
Durable reliability
But in reality
You did betray

~

True intentions are displayed
Dissuade
So incapable
Acting like it’s all erasable
Dispensable
But the truth is
You are the one who is
replaceable

~

Sometimes I wonder

How we got so close, so fast

And then I ponder

Will it last?

 

A rare connection formed instantly

What is it, I ruminate

That red line between you and me

Is it coincidence or fate?

 

Sometimes I reflect

How our bond got so strong

It’s just perfect

But… for how long?

 

Compatible minds relate immediately

What is it, I speculate

That made us attach so easily

 Is it luck or something we create?

 

Sometimes I think about

How you became my friend

And I try to figure out

Will it end?

 

Sometimes I wonder

How two hearts unite so suddenly…

But then I stop and just appreciate

That red line between you and me

And I realize how amazing it is;

We have souls that resonate

Happy Valentine’s Day!

A Monorhyme for Valentine

Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share my highlights of 2016 with you 🙂

I had a pretty awesome year!

Sure, there were some bumps on the road, but an awesome year for sure. 🙂

I know that I have not been around much because I’ve been so busy, so I want to thank you all for sticking around ❤

First of all, my third fantasy book and the last one in the Drägan Duma trilogy got published in June!

I had a great book presentation and am pretty proud of myself and my hubby for making this possible 🙂

It’s such a great feeling to finish a trilogy!

The love of my life ❤ I owe him a lot!

I have been to many events to promote and sign my books

Had a lot of fun with Team Celtica and met a lot of new people 🙂

We went to Curacao because our friends got married there! ❤

The day I saw my uncle on stage at Parkpop (a large festival in Holland) is one of the happiest days of my life. Not only did our uncle survive a terrible accident, he even managed to perform life on stage again within the year!

And my nephew Justin released his first CD, I am a very proud aunt!

Because of my PTSD some things are very hard for me.

I don’t like to be around a lot of people, I don’t like to be the center of attention and I am always wanting to stay where it’s “safe”.

But this year I did a lot of things that are way out of my comfort zone!

I have been a guest on a radio show for example! 🙂

And I did a book pitch on stage. (This was soooo scary!)

Another thing I’ve never done before is going on a roadtrip with a friend.

I am so glad that I did this, it was awesome! (thanks to Jeffrey, who has been such a great friend to me.)

We took a leap of faith with each other and I am so glad we did. I can’t even explain what this guy means to me! ❤

 

You guys know he’s a writer too, right? Check out his blog at www.jeffreydebris.com 🙂

And last but not least, we’ve sold 1000 books of Zij Die Hoort, the first book in the series! 🙂

(in Holland, that’s a lot lol!)

I can’t help but thinking back at the times I thought that my life would never get better. The times I felt like I was living in a nightmare. 

But it did get better. Way better!

So, for everyone who is still having a hard time; hold on, keep fighting. It will be worth it some day ❤

Wishing you all an awesome, magical and loving 2017!

Lots of love,

Patty

Can you handle (all of me)

Can you handle (all of me)
–
Do you
Give up easily?
Or will you
Stand by me
As I drift away
Get lost inside
My mind
Can you
Cope with crazy?
Or will you
Just leave me
When I fight
My battle
To stay sane
Are you
Strong and trustworthy?
Or are you
Scared by obscurity
The darkness
That dwells inside
My soul
Do you
Understand genuinely?
Or did you
Just not see
The broken parts
Obscure melancholy
That is my heart
Do you
Really love me?
Or are you
Attracted to
Paradoxical mystery
Balancing on the edge
Of insanity
Can you
Handle me?
Or will you
Hide anxiously
When you eventually
get to know
All of me…

Come Closer

Come closer

–

Come close

Reach for my hand

Skin against skin

A connection unplanned

But only skin deep

–

Come closer

Touch my mind

Sharing dreams

Two of a kind

Falling deeper within

–

Come closer

Reach for my heart

Emotions set free

In a work of art

Nothing is as it seems

–

Come closest

Touch my soul

Melting together

Make me whole

I want you to know me

Poetry for today: Let’s get Lost…

Let’s get Lost…

–

Let’s get lost
You and me
Travel the world
There’s so much to see

Let’s get lost
Me and you
Follow our hearts
Make dreams come true

Let’s get lost
You and I
Adventures and fun
As the days go by

Let’s get lost
Me and you
Just get up and go
There’s so much to do

Let’s get lost
You and me
Don’t be afraid
Enjoy a bit of mystery

Let’s get lost
I will lead the way
Hold my hand
We shall go today

Poetrics: Never Alone

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.

My Poetry is written in Italic, the Lyrics are written Bold.

“Never Alone” by Lady Antebellum

–

Surround yourself with happiness

As much as you can

Live life like it’s an adventure

You don’t always need a plan

May the angels protect you

Trouble neglect you

–

Don’t bear Life’s burdens alone

You can lean on me

I will wrap you in my love

And help you carry

My love will follow you, stay with you

–

Let nothing come between us

As years pass by

If you forget how to dream

I will sing you a lullaby

I’ll be in every beat of your heart

When you face the unknown

–

Don’t be afraid to lose me

You never will

I will be forever by your side

Even when my heart stands still

When your fears surround you

Wrap my love around you

–

And even when we’re not together

I carry you in my heart

So, remember, you’re not alone

We will never truly be apart

Baby, you’re never alone

Amazing Blogger: Aengelheart!

Hey everyone!

Today, I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine.

He is fairly new on WordPress, so go and say hi! 🙂 (seriously, GO!)

Aengelheart —> https://aengelhearttheauthor.wordpress.com/

He is a writer too and currently working on his first novel.

A little about Aengelheart:

Aengelheart the author or better known as Egon Daniel Engelhardt was born on the 8th of April 1987, and lives in The Hague Holland.
Ever since he was a small child  Egon knew he was different, whilst boys of his age where interested in becoming a police officer or where busy with cars.
He always was doing something different.
But it was not until the 5th grade until his 5th grade teacher went home on sick leave due to him getting a hernia.
What transpired after that would plant the early seed of him wanting to become a writer.
What changed you ask?
Well the fact that his replacement teacher misses Hanneke Hiddema-Wijnja who remains his favorite teacher to this day came into the picture.
On Friday afternoon they would have swimming classes at the Tolhuis bad in Dokkum.
And after the kids got back from the swimming pool it was Miss Hanneke, who would   then tell them the most amazing stories from the top of her head.
About Saskia & Jeroen a Dutch twin brother and sister that would get in to the most funny, crazy and entertaining situations.
She told these stories as if she was painting the Sistine Chapel, verbally a true work of art.
To young Egon this was mind-boggling, how she could tell these amazing stories whilst she just grabbed them out of thin air as she could go on for hours.
Later on in life Egon would make up his own stories never putting them down on paper it was always happening inside his head.
He was always involved with creative things and creative thinking, like cooking and making music.
He would still make up stories, ideas for cinematic stories, but he would never act on it.
Not until the late of August of 2015, Young Egon was now a man and had become a father.
Whilst planning their first vacation as a family of 3 Egon started having the idea for a novel.
The tiny idea started snowballing into something bigger and he started doing the research after some encouragement of his Fiancé .
After for the first time putting everything down on paper, he decided to dive into it head first with no writing experience and started working on his first novel.
And I welcome you all to follow me during this journey

Sincerely

Aengelheart
