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

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…

Quote of the week!

A poem for Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween

 –

Creatures of the night

 Come play until the morning light

 Sneaking through the woods

 Strolling into the neighborhoods

 

 Beasts of the moon

 Awakening out of doom

 Come out of your hiding place

 There are lots of people to chase

 

 Monsters of evil

 Arise, there’s blood to spill

 It’s time to celebrate, my dear

 Like we only can once a year

 

 So come, my beloved pets

 Let’s hunt without regrets

 Be scary, foul and mean

 Because tonight it’s Halloween…

Throwback Thursday: I am at War

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

This is an old one I still like very much.

Throwback Thursday: Like a Raven

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

This one I wrote for NaPoWriMo this year.

Like a Raven

–

My mind has been dark for a long time

Like a Raven’s feathers

Maybe it’s time to let go

Get the burden of my shoulders

 

A heart lost in the shadows

Like a Raven circling around

Maybe I need to get back up

Turn my life around

 

My thoughts have been swirling

Like a Raven in full flight

Maybe it’s time to take control again

Start a new fight

 

A soul captivated and sad

Like a Raven with a broken wing

Maybe I should set it free

Take a chance on healing

 

My feelings have been locked away

Like a Raven who can’t touch the sky

Maybe I should open my heart again

Stop living on stand-by

 

So, I will spread my dark wings

Like a Raven in the night

Maybe I will fly instead of fall today

And everything will be alright…

Spoken Poetry

Every now and then I do a spoken version of some of my poems.

You can listen to them on my Sound Cloud account.

This is one of them: Breathe into me

Breathe into me

 –

Breathe into me

And wake my sleeping soul

It’s been lying motionless

And petrified

Breathe into me

And defrost my frozen heart

It’s been still for so long now

And cold

Breathe into me

And bring my spirit back to life

It’s been dying for a while

And torn

Breathe into me

And save me from this hell

I need resurrection

And life

Breathe

Into

Me…
