  • Demons Embrace 

    You were my only escape.

    The only one I let fully in.
    The only one I could break down and cry to.
    The only one that helped me fight my demons.
    The only one that made me feel truly safe.

    And now I cry for you,
    As my demons take full embrace.
    Everything locked away.
    Either numb or feeling all the pain.

    Wishing for silence,
    The end,
    Take me away.

  • Inside The Storm

    Inside The Storm

    Empty.

    Missing.

    Lost.

    The cold nights are colder without warm embrace.

    Pain in the chest.
    Scars on the soul.

    Love.

    Put on a brave face.
    And face the world with grace.
    Underneath a storm is brewing,
    Heart a mess.

    Wondering.
    Pondering.

    Worth the suffering,
    For a soul so enchanting.
    An adventure so wild,
    And a taste of magic.

    Fleeting.

    Change the only constant.
    Learning to roll with the waves.

    And be free.

  • Silence and Night Thoughts

    Silence and Night Thoughts

    Tired,
    Eyes closed.

    Into the night,
    Where my mind wanders.
    Finding peace in the silence.

    Awake,
    While the world sleeps,
    And I am left to ponder.

    The moon shines.
    Waxes and wanes.
    My light in the darkness,
    Cleansing the pain.

    Finding myself,
    Through all the mess.
    Searching for the answers to life’s philosophy.
    Serenity, peace, love?
    Life, death, solace, suffering?

    I don’t think this world will ever make 100 percent sense.
    But to explore the deep and unknown,
    Is to explore and wisen the mind and soul.

    Search for the horizons,
    Over the oceans.
    Beyond your deepest walls,
    And behind the mask,
    That society insists is reality.

    Truth.

    Will we find out in death?
    Possibly.
    But live a full life of gratitude and adventure,
    Before you have no fear to welcome death,
    And jump into the unknown.

    When we are old and wise,
    Have searched and searched,
    And seen through life’s disguise,
    Will death be the answer,
    To our mortal life’s demise.

    Hold on.
    Be strong.
    Have no fear.

    Let the silence of the night be your solace.
    And the spirit of the day be your adventure.
    And know that you are never truly alone, my dear.

  • Ocean Blue

    In that moment we were perfect.
    Infinite.
    Soulful.
    In that moment we will last forever
    As everything else is
    Faded.
    In that moment,
    Gazing at the Ocean blue.

  • REPLAY

    REPLAY

    His words replay.
    There’s no delay.
    Over and over,
    Over and over again.

    His sweet face.
    His beautiful soul.
    Miles away,
    Yet so close.
    A place in my heart,
    Always.

    Scars of love we leave,
    On each others hearts.
    Just breathe.
    Memories will never fade,
    His words, they always replay.

  • When You Do, I Do.

    When You Do, I Do.

    When you bleed pain,
    I bleed.

    When you laugh,
    I smile.

    When you cry,
    I cry for you,
    and wipe away the tears.

    When you fall,
    Together we will rise again.

    When you feel lost,
    I will find you,
    and bring you back.

    When you want to escape,
    I will take you on a wild adventure.

    When life gets to dark,
    I will turn on the light.

    When you need to rest your prescious soul,
    I’ll hold you still.
    And I will protect you from all the things in this world that are so tragically cruel.

    When you jump,
    I jump.

    When you do,
    I do.

  • Hell: Searching for the Truth

    Hell: Searching for the Truth

    Have mercy on my soul,
    For the devil shall rise and swallow me whole.
    Could hell be worse than this hell on earth?

    Or would it be my saviour?
    Peace in the fire,
    Calm in the flames.
    Take me away from life’s cruel games.

    Life, death.
    Where does it begin and end?
    Nowadays it is more like life is the enemy,
    And death is the friend.
    They say that life is a beautiful lie,
    And death the painful truth.
    Only the ashes left of our time imprinted on this earth,
    Souls still searching for the truth.

  • Lost. Found. I’m Spirit Bound

    Lost. Found. I’m Spirit Bound

    It is all going down but I want none of it.
    To many times have I been pushed to the front of it.

    It gets crazy inside my brain, and
    I cannot begin to explain,
    How it makes me feel insane.

    Trying to stay grounded,
    while being constantly hounded,
    by this world.

    So close to the edge of reality,
    Imaginary.
    All I want is peace and serenity,
    to heal my heart and mind.

    Lost.
    Found.
    I’m spirit bound.
    Searching for that light,
    to keep me safe and sound.

  • From her Heart, with Love

    From her Heart, with Love

    She knows in her heart what is true.
    Her being gains strength as she pushes through.

    The world teaches her lessons.
    And she grows like a wild flower in wisdom and love,
    trusting the universe up above.

    She sits quietly in the wind.
    Sometimes wishing to fly away.
    Yet she knows she has to stay,
    and work on letting her soul go free.

    She let’s her mind soar,
    with creativity and hunger.
    For this world needs a saviour in all of us,
    to treasure its beauty with unconditional love.

    She gently brushes her hair off her face,
    And looks towards the horizon.
    Gazing at the sunset and hoping for peace.
    From deep inside her heart, with love.

  • A Night with a True Crime Author: Amanda Howard

    I attended a true crime talk by true crime author, fiction writer and serial killer expert Amanda Howard, and decided to write an article about it.

    This is my first of many articles I’ll be posting on My Trending Stories as I am now one of their contributor writers/bloggers, such an exciting opportunity.

  • “Being alone a lot of the time makes you wonder and question life. The real questions that swirl deep down in your soul. Evaluating specific moments and exploring the finer points of friendship, love and the abundant life we all wish to have. You hardly ever get to some great conclusion, but little by little you make the progress to get there. Because we will forever be wondering and questioning, exploring and trying to fulfil the holes of desire and need that are nested tight in our beings; in order to grow, love and not only to survive, but to truly live.”
