  • Insomnia – Lost Sleep

    Insomnia – Lost Sleep

    Darkness consumes me.
    Darkness welcomes me into its sorrowful lair. Holding me there, captive with my thoughts. Crashing together wildly and with no control.
    The pain is heavy and hazy.
    The weight of everything, everyone and everyword heaped upon my shoulders.
    Pain shoots through my whole body, the kind of pain that touches the soul; that tries to weaken the spirit.
    My journey is not easy and my mind sometimes is unforgiving.
    My bones crack, my muscles ache, my head foggy from lack of sleep. My eyes tired from looking into the abyss of the night. Unable to shut off. Unable to dream a sweet sleep.

  • Power Of The Full Moon

    Power Of The Full Moon

    Full moon, guide me.
    Direct me through the stars and the wind.

    Hold me close.
    And open me up,
    To the energy without and within.

    Protect me from the negative.
    Bring me positivity and wisdom,
    Intuition and knowledge.

    Fill me up with your all-mighty power,
    To live another day,
    To fill my soul with love and peace.

    Bathe me in your everlasting light,
    And show me the way through the night.

  • Nourish The Soul

    Nourish The Soul

    Heart and mind.
    Body and soul connected.
    Balance is key to a life well lived.

    Nourish yourself and grow in wisdom and knowledge.
    And know your soul lives on for eternity.

    Humanity is but a small part of your soul journey,
    To learn valuable life lessons and to understand your divine capabilities.

  • Reason To Be Here

    Reason To Be Here

    Sometimes I wish not to be here.

    To no longer walk this earth, to breathe this last breath.

    Sometimes everything is too much.

    All the thoughts and voices,

    Pain and sorrow;

    Overwhelming.

    Then I look to the horizon.

    Meeting the suns gaze.

    Feeling the rays of light warm against my skin.

    A deeper unknown pulls at my heart, stirs the mind.

    Speaking of reason to be here.

    Reason unknown but futhermore a reason of truth.

    Walking through the fire, burns.

    But for it we become stronger.

    Eventually at peace within the flames. All wisdom, all power lies within.

  • Thank You

    Thank You

    Thank you
    For release.
    For teaching me expression,
    And the many lessons.

    Lessons of love,
    Life and pain.
    Bittersweet reality,
    And dream state fantasy.

    Holding onto hope.
    Through the battlefield of life.
    Through the good, the bad,
    And all the in between.

    And lastly,
    Thank you for showing me the way,
    To letting me be me.

  • Why Do We Run?

    Why Do We Run?

    We run and run and keep on running.
    But what are we running from?

    Ourselves?

    The darkness inside that eats the soul?
    If it is left to rot in silence,
    Without release.

    Why do we hide?
    When we can conquer.

    Be friends with our demons.
    Take a walk with them and learn,
    The inner secrets of your soul.

    Run inwards not away.
    To face the light another day.

    Lost your brain.

    Find it amongst the chaos,
    Where we are stripped of our misguided layers,
    To reveal our rawness.
    True to heart.
    To who we really are.
    Amongst the darkness and in the light.

    Fading in and out,
    Of reality and insanity.
    Searching for serenity.
    And a little peace in our heart.

  • I’ll See You On The Flip Side

    I’ll See You On The Flip Side

    I’ll see you on the flip side.
    My dear friend.

    Where you can tell me all the adventures,
    Of your ride into the sun.

    Parting ways.

    As I sway through the galaxies,
    Against the gleaming moon.

    I’ll see you on the flip side,
    My dear friend.

    Where amongst the shadows and dreams,
    We will meet again.

  • I’m stuck between feeling like saying fuck you then if that’s how little I mean to you now; and like I wish things were different and simple because even though my heart hurts I could never hate you. I loved you ever so deeply that a part of me always will.

  • Shattered Heart

    Shattered Heart

    Watch me make the world think I’m ok.
    Like I have danced all the pain away.

    Disguise,
    The storm inside.
    That rages on.
    Barreling waves crashing,
    Over and over again.
    Drowning.
    My heart heavy,
    And soul quiet.
    Crushed.

    But nobody would know,
    Nobody would buy it.
    From the smile I put on,
    A front to keep moving through,
    My haunting thoughts.
    To find what is still true.

    Watch me, I’ve mastered the art.
    Of looking like I’m not falling apart.
    But inside,
    I really have a shattered heart.

  • Pure Black

    Pure Black

    Night time,
    Heart burning.
    Soul churning,
    Spinning and transforming.

    Darkness,
    Pure black.
    Comfort in silence.
    As inside me rages,
    A war of searching.
    For a means and an end.

    Solace from pain.
    Before insanity takes a hold.
    Welcome crazy,
    A change from the old.

    Fear into action.
    The night holds all truth.
    From love to hate,
    And the very essence of you.

  • Always Welcome

    Always Welcome

    Though you’ve  walked on,
    My door is always open.
    My heart,
    Always warm,
    Always welcome.

    Between us distance has no meaning.
    Time,
    Is healing.

    Wishing you well.
    And hoping for good luck.

    Walk with no fear,
    My dear and trust.
    For deep down inside,
    You have a heart of gold.
    March to the beat of your drum,
    You must.

    Never far, always near.
    Always Welcome,
    Here,

    My Love.

  • Root of Your Soul

    Root of Your Soul

    You’ll never loose that uniqueness about you.
    The root of your soul.

    Your passion.
    Your fire.
    The erge to inspire,
    Create,
    Love.

    Even when you are drowning in lost seas,
    You are infinite.
    Find yourself.

    Hold on to heart,
    Let go of what no longer serves you.
    And flow with the waves,
    Of desire,
    And serenity.

  • 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.

  • “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.”

    – Jacqueline Ann Lente

  • Soldier On

    Soldier On

    Carry your soul through the winds.
    Fight for what you believe in.

    Stand strong and conquer your fears,
    You have come so far along the years.
    Don’t let anything stand in your way.
    You have the golden armour to love another day.

    Use your talents as weapons for your cause.
    Remember you are beautiful, don’t worry about flaws.
    Society judges,
    Its time to go to war.
    To fight the battle of controlling minds,
    Be free and leave all that behind.

    Let everything go and get everything out.
    Release yourself and rise again.

    If you fall, get back up,
    And soldier on.
    The battle may not be over,
    But you are sure to win,
    By the will of the moon and the sun.
