My will is my own.
You may try to take it,
mold it to your ideals,
but you will fail
for I am stronger than you think.
I am a pillar of stone
and those around me
are my foundation.
Together we will defeat you.
So go back to the beast which
spawned you,
never to return,
because if you do….
you will lose.
I know that you see me
but do you hear me?
We are falling apart
and you sit in silence
oblivious to my pain.
Why won’t you talk to me?
Do you want this,
this nothingness,
this….ending?
Please tell me so I can escape
this limbo we are in.
Please tell me so I can
live again.

I see you in my heart
My eyes wide open
While darkness descends
Life has turned ugly
Yet hope remains
As long as I see you in my heart
I will live again
@ 2014 Heidi Barnes
I see you
My mind clears
My heart opens
Your eyes caress me
My body sings
Lips moisten while heat rises
A touch sets senses aflame
I know what I see
What is meant to be
I have only one request
Love me as I love you
Unconditionally

When tragedy strikes
and the world shatters,
as hearts are ripped apart,
it is hard to remember
that life goes on,
and so shall we.

Lunge
Step back
Step to side
Forever out of reach
Of sword and blade
Forever untouched
Yet scars are made

Haunting lyrics
Fill the air with
Sweet melody.
Heart squeezes tight
As memories swallow whole.
Barely healed scars
Open wide
Bleeding anew.
Pain washes over
Darkness acends.
Time may heal
But some wounds will always weep,
Ever close to the surface
Ready to tear at moments notice
To begin again
Raw and deep.
@ 2014 Heidi Barnes
When words stutter,
spit
and sputter.
When thought scatters
to the wind.
When frustration blocks
the flow of creation,
time to sit back
take a moment
and breathe in.

The path is so clear,
words flow like silk.
As I near the end
time distorts
and the path changes.
Winding in a different direction
from thoughts first kiss.
An ending appears,
not the one envisioned.
Do I keep on this path
seeing it to the finish,
or do I return to the crossroads
and try again to find my way?

The fight goes on
no end in site.
Neither side willing to give,
neither one wishing respite.
Too many years
spent in blood and pain,
no other way that they know.
Why should we give up what we’ve gained,
why end this war in shame?
Pride is a wicked thing.
Always pushing,
always pestering.
Never give up!
or you will be perceived weak.
Never cry!
or others will mock you.
Always be at your best,
the top,
number one.
Never let them win….
but when is enough enough?
When do you finally say I give?
When everything is gone?
When there is no life to be seen
and the world is destroyed?
When will you choose life over death?
When…..
