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

Two Strangers Part Two
Two Strangers met
And accidentally fell in as more than lovers
We had different demons but matching wounds,
And sad past tales to tell
Two broken souls
Trying to find some guidance home within each other
Sadly,
The echos of fear, ego, and past trauma were too great
Destruction and self-sabotage got in the way
We became lost
From drowning in your gaze
Skin to skin
To drowning in your absence
Another scar to add to the map
Out in the cold again
At war with my head again
Two Strangers met
And fell in as more than lovers
But Love is war
Life is chaos
And two lovers became two strangers again.– Two Strangers Part Two

Two Strangers
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”

Serenity Is A Dream
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.– Jacqueline Ann Lente

This bridge is the hardest to cross. The river of pain flowing underneath is overtaking, all consuming.
Taken out to sea. Now it is just me and the crashing waves. I’m screaming storms and shouting thunder,
All the while adrift in the rift of oblivion.But sometimes you have to hold your own hand and sail through the breakdowns.
As the storms break and the sea calms,
I see the stars bright reflection bouncing off the water,
I hear the sweet lullabies of the world laced into the night sky.And I know I have to ride the waves and weather the storms to make the journey back to shore.

Indigo Hues, Watercolour Skies
I cry watercolour skies,
You can see the tracks of my tears.
I’m too dead inside.
Indigo hues deepen as daylight wanes,
And I realise,
I don’t live here anymore, inside my head.
All I can think of is,
Hope is a slow poison,
And temporary ecstasy,
is enchanting,
Against the fatal embrace of time.

Scars Linger For A Lifetime
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”

21st Century
We are so connected,
But disconnected simultaneously.
We display a picture perfect life,
But live in despair.
Our reality a lonely one with no one really there.
We judge our moments on whether or not they are instagram worthy,
Not on the moment itself.
We’ve lost the spirit and adventure and our basic humanity over everything else.
We hide behind screens from the gift of life.
Mainly worrying about wi-fi instead of the outside.Outside in nature, which we slowly kill.
While parading on screen,
Falsely committing to saving the world we live in.

When The Mind Gets Messy
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.

The Lesson Of Loneliness
Maybe loneliness is a way in which to learn to accept being alone with ones true self, both light and dark side. It can be scary and painful to face the oppressed thoughts trapped deep inside ones mind. To confront the real reality of your thoughts and actions. To be happy with being alone is to work with ones self through the struggle and destruction to see the lesson of it all and to let go of all fear. To float away with the energy surrounding us, guiding us to a higher viewpoint of all perspective. Calming the beast inside us that wishes to crawl out screaming. Silence in truth and clarity, serenity and peace binding the soul.

Till My Last Dying Breath
Swirling emotions.
A river running red.All these ghosts and demons,
Dancing in my head.My heart a cracked desert,
A wide open plane of broken ground.My heart fleeting.
Bounding for ressurection.
Ressurection from the dead.Reborn through fire and flame,
It is now time again.To rise up and conquer,
This mighty war.To never flight and always fight.
Till my last dying breath.

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.
