Tra fiori selvatici e vino, I toast the ghosts that never learned to leave me.
I tear the petals, I drain the bottle, I dare the night to swallow me whole.
I bloom where I burn.


Find reasons to stay and stay relentless.
Rest is still progress and rebirth is a journey.
You will find your way.
JACQUELINE LENTE POETRY

You smell like rain and I want to be a part of your storm.
Drown me in your gaze.
Rearrange my mind.
Hold me close,
Skin to skin.
Keep me warm from the cold of the outside world
And the world inside my head.
Our demons may be different,
But we wear matching wounds.
Tangled bones and a map of scars.
Just trying to find some guidance home.
– “Two Strangers”
Jacqueline Lente Poetry

Creaking skeletal trees.
Wolves with kerosene eyes.
Ghosts crying in the walls
While winter slowly creeps behind me.
This internal battle is on the edge of dying dreams.
Life plays the dark symphony
The nights grow even longer, draped in the veils of wistful sorrow,
And a small dying hope for better days.

My mind is at war.
My heart wants peace.
One moment I am falling,
Then floating the next,
And falling again.
On repeat.
The demons creep around.
Seeping into my bones.
They have become my bestfriends
When I am alone.
Serenity is a dream far away from here.
Reality is a prison.
Constantly trying to escape,
But never fully reaching the exit gates.

Seek the wonder in life,
And never stop.
Seek the showers of gold,
And the shimmers of sweet light.
The good things,
The mysterious things,
The wonderful things.
Never stop seeking what makes you smile.
Allow yourself to get lost in the magic.
Seek the balm for the soul.

It may be a struggle to get up, but you can overcome. Wake up, let the hot water of the shower warm your bones. Take a moment of peace, breathe. Be proud of yourself. Have faith in yourself. Live to tell another day, live to make another memory, one you may cherish forever or one you can say that you survived from and made it though ❣

Our journey awaits over the horizon and into the sunset.
Through the waves and the storms we must face.
During the battles and the darkness, we can find peace in the hidden rays of the light of the sun shining over, watching over us.
Guiding us to freedom and love.
The journey of adventure and experience, growth and wisdom; the journey of our divine soul awaits over the horizon and into the sunset.

Sometimes the will to get up is the hardest.
The will to move is the hardest.
Even when your loved ones hold you up, the will to go on is the hardest.
The void seems to get deeper.
The darkness seems to get darker.
The demons almost win.
And you beat yourself almost to death for it.
But its ok, it happens in life.
Be kind to yourself.
Ride the waves and watch them as they pass,
As a new day arrives and a new dawn is here,
You will find a way.
You will be ok.

Most importantly
JUST BE YOURSELF! 💗
To the core of your heart and soul, as your fire burns bright into the night; find your inner true self and go with the flow.
Stand up for yourself and what you believe in and don’t back down or give in to societies cruel games.
You may not feel it but know that you are loved just as you are and how you came to be.
As you grow paths of many intertwine yours but do not let them change your inner self in negativity or darkness, let all that go.
Follow the light of positivity and wisdom on your journey ahead and be free as you are in your true form.
No matter what comes and goes or changes in the tides of life, just be yourself 💗

Sometimes life is black and white.
Other times life is full of colour.
It is what it is
And we take it as it comes.
Hazy and delusional,
Or clear as day.
Clarity from the demons,
And time to love and play.
Black and white,
Full of colours,
Life is both day and night.

The mind is a paradox of both dark and light moments and thoughts.
Without the dark we cannot see the light.
Without the light we cannot learn from the darkness.
Both intertwined in perfect balance,
For our exploration of our inner soul and divine soul journey.

Everyday we face challenges.
Everyday we face struggle.
However in every challenge is a lesson learnt. And in every struggle there is a path for positive change.
There is a reason for every experience and a plan for everything set in motion.
Even if you are unaware as of yet, the reasons why will show up eventually.
Connection.
It is all a part of your divine soul journey.
Have no regrets and live free.
