  • The Devil Wins Today

    The Devil Wins Today

    The devil wins today.
    In his fire my heart strings play.
    Songs of sorrow,
    Songs of loss.
    He’s seen the demons I have crossed.

    The mortal sins of paths I have taken.
    The scars of pain,
    And the mistakes I have welcomed to change.

    On a road unknown,
    Through the darkest night.
    My heavy soul echoes through the wind.
    Calling for days lost,
    From dawn till dusk.
    And into the deepest corners,
    Of desire and trust.

    In the devils land I play.
    A place of no where and nothing.
    The edge of reality,
    Over into insanity.

    On this journey, I may,
    Find pain and solace.
    And the will to live another day.

  • Dear America, Guns or Human Life?

    Dear America, Guns or Human Life?

    Life so cruel,
    Tragic.
    Taken away to soon.

    Is it worth your right?
    When its out of control.
    Based on a paper,
    Racist,
    A hundred years ago.

    Death of the innocent,
    Caught in the fire.
    The world mourns,
    But nothing is done.
    Despite the cries for righteousness and justice,
    The guns increase.
    And the damage is done.

    Monsters in the eyes of others.
    No care for human life,
    We don’t believe the lies.
    The evidence is enough.

    How many more will die?
    Their blood on your hands.
    Fuelling violence with a weapon of destruction,
    Giving it to the hands of those that desire to wreak havoc with hate in their heart.

    Stop the excuses,
    And put the guns to rest.
    Choose what is best,
    Or there will be nothing and no one left.

     

    – inspired by and dedicated to all the victims of American gun violence due to their lack of enforced and controlled laws to protect human life. May they all rest in peace, so tragic that such talented and beautiful souls are taken away for no reason but hate and despair. America is appalling. And my question is, will it ever change? Because I’ve asked this question way too many times in the last few years and all it looks like is that it is increasing and getting out of hand.

    My question to America is, Guns or Human life? Which one is more important to you? Because this very moment America is choosing guns over human life and if they don’t change there will be no human life left to save.

    A great documentary on this topic to watch is: Bowling For Columbine by documentary and film director, Michael Moore. Which explores gun laws, the Columbine school shooting events and why America is so different to the rest of the world with guns when they think they are just like the rest of the world.

  • Fly High Little Duckling

    Fly High Little Duckling

    Little duckling,
    Take flight.
    Don’t be scared to venture the night.

    Fill your day with love and peace.
    Take heart in wandering,
    Exploring your soul,
    And your laughter will increase.

    Life has many surprises,
    But the light brings grace,
    And adventure.
    Fly and soar through the wind and rain.
    I’ll be there to catch you if you fall.

    And together we will rise above it all.

     

    – Dedicated to my best friend, my little duckling, Zachary Duck 💖

  • Scars On My Heart

    Scars On My Heart

    Can you save my soul?
    Or am I lost forever?

    Is it better to wander through it all?
    Explore the good, bad and the downright ugly,
    Or to hide away?

    Come out on top,
    With a trail of scars.
    The deepest ones piercing my heart.

    Fallen on the floor, broken.
    Standing tall, stronger.
    Life plays its games.

    Dodge the bullets,
    Embrace the gains.
    With learning comes pain,
    Truth and love.

    Scars on my heart,
    Already insane.
    Breaking free from all these chains.

  • Bittersweet Reality

    Bittersweet Reality

    I’m crashing.
    Rising and falling.
    All over the place.

    Can’t get it out of my head.
    It is all finally set in.
    Hit me like a freight train,
    On the way to nowhere but the edge.
    Moving through the minefields.

    Burning.

    Love a bittersweet reality,
    Of constant change.

  • 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.

    With Time

    With time you will only get stronger.
    With time you will get better.

    And through the fire.

    Reborn.

    Spread your wings and soar.
    Fly high.
    Dreams will become reality.
    A star in the night sky.

    Let your darkness be your friend.
    Learn its lessons until the end.
    And let the light cleanse you,
    And be your grace.

    Only time will tell what the future holds.
    And with time you will be bold.

    With time you will heal.

    And With time you will be stronger than you ever know.

  • Soul Stars

    Soul Stars

    When the stars come out at night,
    Let them be your light.
    Your shining guide,
    Through the roller coaster of life.
    The moon, always by your side.

    Hope.
    Strength.
    Love.

    All you need to do is trust.

    Full moon beaming,
    Energy spinning.

    Sleep and have no fear.
    Dream.
    Everyday is a new day to conquer,
    To stretch your legs.
    To free your heart.
    And to let your soul be heard.

  • 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.

    – Jacqueline Ann Lente

  • 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.
