No More

Nexus Desktop: Chaos Lost

Darkness surrounds me
threatens to consume
at ever turn.
Make me into something
a mother would spurn.
I try to fight it
with thoughts of love
hope
family
all that is good in life,
but despair is ever my bane,
taking that which was once good
turning it into hatred
burning hot
bright.
Beware of creatures
living deep within,
claws sharpen
teeth gnashing,
sinking deep into flesh
releasing poison
to blacken souls,
rendering chaos
before taking flight.
Hold onto the light
grasp with both hands
cling to hope with desperation
or darkness will consume
life until with one blink
existence is
no more.

Quiet
Darkness speaks
Do you know
what it says
Make no sudden moves
fire breathes life
the heathens rise
Make no mistake
you may fly
attempt to escape
when chaos
drags you under
Fight
for life
Fight
for freedom
Fight
for love
Fight
for you
and all that is yours
Fight
or the heathens may
win…

Breathe
before it’s to late
Breathe
allow the chaos to abate
Breathe
I will wait
Breathe
Whatever it takes
try to remember
when your world starts to break
Breathe

Promises – Destiny Series

On By HeidiIn Creative Writing, Poetry2 Comments

Do you know
who you I am?
Do you understand
what I am capable of,
the horrors I have seen,
done
to come to this place,
this time?
I will not be denied
what is rightfully
mine!
There is no other choice,
no other conclusion.
You will never escape
because when I am through
I will own you.
When I am through….

You will be dead.

surrender
Desktop Nexus: Surrender

Bruised,
battered,
broken,
and still you
rise from the ashes
of defeat to fight
another day.
Courage has nothing to do
with determination.
We all have demons,
we all at one time feel
lost,
even if we do not admit it to others
to ourselves.
Take a moment
process,
heal,
catch your breath.
I will not judge or criticize
It is not my place.
All I ask is that,
in time,
you pick yourself up,
brush off the dust that is your pain
and try again.
Never forget
never diminish
what you have endured.
It will make you who you are.

Don’t

Desktop Nexus: Frozen Live

Don’t tell me how I should live.
Don’t judge me because of how I feel,
how I pray,
how I see the world,
how I live.
Don’t think that your words
are all that there is.
I am who I am.
If you do not like what you see,
please,
leave.
I will not keep you
if you do not want to stay.
Just remember,
your actions,
your words
will tell who you are,
how you feel,
how you live.
Sooner or later you will have to answer
for all that you have done,
said.
It will not be I who judge you,
but you will
in the end
be judged.
I know I am not perfect,
I have flaws.
We all do.
I can live with most of mine.
Can you?

Waiting

labyrinth
Labyrinth – Source: Unknown

I am here,
waiting.
No matter how much you deny me
I will always be here.
Taunting you
with what once was,
what still could be.
You will come to me,
eventually.
You cannot help yourself.
For I am the addiction
you will never defeat.
I am your life.
I am your love.
I am
your end.

Where this poem did not come to me from the picture above, I thought it was perfect for it. One of my favorite movies from my younger years.
