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
As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,
Our souls reset for another day.
Our hearts settle.
Our minds may race processing the day that is done.
Our body lays to rest.
As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,
We become one with our true self.
– “We Become One”

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.
– “Black and White, Full of Colour”
– Jacqueline Ann Lente
Some life lessons and challenges are harder than others. Some take longer than others and are more confusing. And some life lessons and challenges do not make sense at all until that lightbulb moment;
Where all the pieces of the puzzle fall together.
We face hardships and pain but in the struggle we grow in wisdom and truth.
– “The Lightbulb Moment” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
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.
– “Live Free” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Seize the day,
Embrace the change.
Watch from all perspective,
And follow wisdom and intuition.
Follow passion and positivity.
Every day is a new day,
A new opportunity,
To rise up and be great.
– “Seize The Day” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Patience, perseverance.
Strength and love;
Hold close to your heart
In times of struggle and when times fall apart.
Wisdom and knowledge will bring you closer to the truth.
The real reality in everything you do.
Observe with clarity and perspective,
Day to day.
And grow in the light that leads the way.
– “The Light That Leads The Way” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
My dear, I know the mind can get messy as emotions are all jumbled up.
But your soul is still beautiful,
Your heart, still strong;
And your spirit still flows wildly with every passing day.
The darkness is the truth in reality,
Sometimes it’s the bittersweet knowledge that we come face to face with,
That brings us to clarity and understanding.
Although the journey can be tough and troublesome,
The universe is guiding you to the right way to live a full life and be free.
Find your peace amongst the chaos and hold on.
All the pain and struggle are worth it in the end.
– “When The Mind Gets Messy” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
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.
– “Insomnia – Lost Sleep” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
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.
– “Nourish The Soul” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
The stars align and the energy around us moves not for our longings and desires but for what is needed for us to live a full life. To grow in wisdom and strength. And to build solid foundations to stand on.
The truth shakes our dreams and thoughts into reality; to see with full clarity the spectrum of life and the experiences it brings forward to the table.
Open your eyes and see the path you are following. Set ablaze your journey, ignite your passion and create with love and peace as guidance.
The only constant is change and nothing lasts forever but by living in the moment, the memories and lessons can last a lifetime.
Live in the now and be filled with enjoyment and humbleness.
Learn from the past but do not let it control the now or the future.
Create for the future with an abundance of love and understanding in your heart and let yourself go with the flow.
Do not fight against what the universe has planned for you. Let the magic overtake and trust that challenges will be overcome and that hope and peace will fill up your inner soul along the way and guide you to the stars and beyond.
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.
