Resonate

–

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

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

My best friend’s book presentation!

Besides writing and seeing my books getting published, one of the greatest things of being a writer is that I get to hang out with other writers.

One of them became one of my best friends! Last Saturday his second novel got published and I was there! 🙂

It was a great day and I am so very proud of him. I also really love his books!

Besides being an awesome Sci-Fi / Fantasy writer (he writes in English guys!!!) he is also a very kind and fun person to be around.

Do me (but mostly yourself) a favor and check out his Facebook page were you can find information about his books, his adventures

as a writer and book reviews —> Jeffrey Debris

Oh! And he also makes great quotes! ❤

Don’t forget to visit him and say “hi!”.

Sharing will be highly appreciated!

Lots of Love,

Patty

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…

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…

A Senryu for Today <3

Throwback Thursday: Touches your Heart

On ‘Throwback Thursdays’ I want to share some older Poems and posts of mine. I hope you will enjoy!    

Today I will share a poem from my first poetry book ‘My Wings’ with you.

Touches your heart

–

Every once in a while

Someone touches your heart

And you will love this person

Right from the start

 

Your trust and smiles

Others had to gain

You’ll give this person freely

It’s like a malfunction of the brain

 

Someone touched your heart

So you can’t help it

You will give yourself over

Bit by bit…

 

A connection so strong, it can’t be broken

Not by distance, not by time

With some people

You will always have that line

 

People give that connection a name

Call it chemistry, call it love

Call it an act from the heavens above…

 

Fact is, it can’t be explained

Why between some, that feeling is real

Someone just touched your heart…

At least, that’s how I feel…
