I Give You My Trust – A Free Write

On September 19, 2015 By HeidiIn Creative Writing, Free Write, Poetry6 Comments

Kerouac Quote

So many things I want to say.
Words tumbling around, every which way.
Each one wanting to be first
Each one for better or worst.
Sifting through the jumbled mess
Just too many to express.
I promise I will find
With deep thought and time
Someday, someway
To convey
Those words that means so much
So you will know
With my heart, I give you my trust.

You stepped away
Only for a moment in time,
Yet it seems like a lifetime ago
That you held me in your arms
Telling me you love me,
That you will never leave me
No matter what life throws are way.
Giving me the security that only
Unconditional love can give.
Then a stranger took it all way.
Yet as I crave the safety of your arms,
The soothing sound of your voice,
I still feel that you are here,
Watching over me
Protecting me as you promised
So many time before.
And I know that one day
I will once again feel your arms around me
Hear your voice promising me that
You will always be there for me.
That I will once again be
Home.

Just Breathe

On September 19, 2015 By HeidiIn Poetry2 Comments

To think we are the only ones
That everything revolves around you
Your beliefs
Your truth
Will only keep you from understanding
Love
Compassion
Life.
Open your mind
Your heart
Your soul
And see things through another’s eyes.
Maybe then the hate
The anger
That chokes you everyday
Stifling your ability to enjoy
What this time on earth has given you
Will slide away
And you can begin to live
To grow
To just
Breathe.

Walking With Death

On July 23, 2015 By HeidiIn Poetry4 Comments

I walk through shadows
with Death by my side,
his hand on my shoulder
his eyes wise.
We walk as old friends
with stores to tell,
for this is not the first time
we’ve walked this trail.
My time has not come
to leave this realm,
it is for comfort he comes
to reassure another is well.
My life long dance
will end soon enough,
so I will try to live each moment
to the fullest,
for before I know it
my hand he will take
and lead me towards
the next chapter my journey will make.

Words, words, words…..

On June 23, 2015 By HeidiIn Poetry1 Comment

Words, words, more words

Tumbling around in my head.

Begging to be written

Begging to be said.

How do I sleep

Think, eat

With all these words

Battling to escape?

Help me to find

A way to set them free,

Help me find

Peace, serenity.

Someone….Anyone

On October 20, 2014October 20, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry5 Comments

Feeling lost and alone
in a sea of people
all with purpose,
all with someone
to call there own.

I look to the sun
searching for that one
to give me meaning,
to see me for who I am.
To reach out and touch
my soul so broken,
so forlorn.

Please, someone
…anyone,
say something
before I give up
on ever finding
that one that will believe
I am worthy of love.
That one I will trust
with my heart,
my soul.
The one that will call me
their own.

A Dark Place

On April 23, 2014April 23, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry13 Comments

I come from a dark place
deep in my soul
where visions of demons
haunt me,
their cries of desperation,
for freedom to wreak havoc
on the unsuspecting
drowning out good intentions.
To fight is agony
to win a hollow victory.
How do I keep going?
Why should I keep fighting?
Tell me, please,
because I am losing
this war within.
Please help me
before I drown in
desperations sin.

I’m not sure where these dreams I am having are coming from, but geez!

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.

When The Ending Strays

On March 5, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry3 Comments

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?

A Story Unfinished…. ~ Part 3

On February 15, 2014February 15, 2014 By HeidiIn Flash Fiction, Poetry2 Comments

Treason they yell,

subterfuge.

Questions asked,

answers demanded.

None will be given

for the accused have fled.

To where impossible to know.

Space is vast,

unyielding.

It will not give up its secrets easily.

Safe they will remain

while injuries heal.

Forgiveness given,

bond shared strengthen

with touch and promises mete.

Hunted by all,

two sides united in one cause.

Find those who betrayed

trust and law.

Yet one thing remains

the power that be

in their relentless single-mindedness

will never understand,

what war rips asunder

love can heal jagged edges,

uniting that what was once broken.

So run they must,

hidden in the stars,

waiting,

quietly working to end

senseless waste.

Until reason is seen

and hostility ceases.

And so they begin….

To See What I See
