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
Hold me close my dear.
Hold me near and near.
Never let go.
Your warmth and light,
Keep me safe always.
May love be with us forevermore.
And may love and peace,
Be all the happy moments we share.
I am with you always,
Heart and soul.
Through stormy seas and sunshine,
And all the inbetween.
You have my being to the core,
You hold my heart with yours,
Intertwined together.

We grow,
We die,
We grow again.
Through life,
And its garden
Of pain
And beauty.
Fleeting moments,
Changing seasons.
We grow,
We die,
We grow again.

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 ❣
– “Live To Tell Another Day”
– Jacqueline Ann Lente
Walk with your head held high into the night, into the pain and into the light.
You are stronger than you feel you are, with whatever the suffering you may be going through, hold on, hold tight.
Don’t give up, don’t doubt yourself, be ready for the fight.
The battles may be long and enduring, but you will conquer them all.
Save yourself and free yourself and find peace amongst the chaos of it all.

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
Faded memories
Faded time
I can just remember when i used to call you mine.
But you left a scar on me that i can not forget. A scar on me that i can not shake.
All the emotions of love and happiness, pain and sorrow intertwined.
How you made me feel is what still lingers here;
You brought me up to pure bliss
and pulled me down into the dark abyss.
Our story is one that goes all around.
We closed that chapter of our lives and started a new
But you left me hanging in the end, with unanswered questions and an empty heart, a lonely bed.
You still linger in my head.
The scar never fading, and a new perspective on love, life and change.
– “Scars Linger For A Lifetime”

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
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
To the wind,
To the rain,
The softness of mother nature and her fierceness combined.
The world revolves around the golden sun.
The energies work their way into our being,
Colliding with our soul.
We fear the unkown,
But must take the leap.
Don’t be afraid if it gets too deep.
Change and time and reason are all at play.
To see you through another day.
– “Natures Energy” – Jacqueline Ann Lente
Make every action meaningful.
And take every moment as it is.
Be forever grateful and humble.
And find peace within the flow of life.
See beauty in the darkness
And wisdom in the shadows.
Create with light and grace
And honour your true self in times of pain, change and love.
