Run Away With Me

On May 25, 2014 By HeidiIn Photos5 Comments

Run away with me!

Let us find the edge of the earth,

and fly amongst the stars.

Let us lose ourselves

in the mystical playground called life

while others lose themselves in

in the mundane world

and what they perceive

as reality.

Let us live

until the day when we move on

to the next stage of our existence,

where we will continue

to find out just who we are

and why we are here.

Where we will discover

that no matter what we think we know,

we will never know enough,

and we will never know everything.

Giving Me All

On May 3, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry4 Comments

As light descends into dark

I hear your voice

and my heart shatters.

Whispered touch

picks up the pieces

putting them together,

giving me hope

giving me life.

Darkness prevails

demons hide

waiting for greed

thirsting for blood,

but when the days are cold

and dreams waste away

your kiss brings life

into my shattered soul,

and demons fall away

crawling back into darkness

to wait for weakness

that will never come

as long as you shine

giving me life,

giving me love,

giving me all.

No More Lies

On April 19, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry4 Comments

You tell me no lies,
yet all I hear are lies.
You tell me no secrets,
yet secrets you keep.
Trust me you say,
yet how can I trust
where trust no longer exists.
Never give up on those you love!
A message beaten into me
from ages old,
yet when love finally dies
what is left
is bitter,
cold,
clouding any judgment,
yielding pain to my soul.
As I walk away
I feel your eyes
beseeching me stay,
to please let you try.
But there is no more
left inside,
my heart in pieces
no more goodbyes.
The door closes,
the air is fresh, clean.
While some of me yearns
for what once was,
I step into the sun
warmth seeping in.
The road ahead long,
seemingly endless,
I begin.

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.

Acceptance Heals

Hope

Time has passed

the memories are still clear

but they do not cut as they once did,

taking me to my knees.

My tears are dry

my heart while not whole

is healing.

I know it is not your fault

I know somewhere in the great plan

this was meant to be,

and while that does not make the hurt any less

it does help me understand.

Accept that it was your time

and my time is not yet.

I have things I still need to do

before I join you.

Do I still miss you?

Yes.

Does the pain still cripple me?

Sometimes.

Do I still love you?

With all my heart!

Will I ever see you again?

I have to believe or all is lost.

So with you in my heart

I move forward,

take the next step on my journey,

my life.

Earth

On January 15, 2014January 16, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry6 Comments

Walking forwards,

the past behind me

the future unknown.

Hard lessons have been learned,

yet I know more are to come.

As winters melts

and spring is reborn,

I draw strength from the earth

under my toes.

The knowledge that

no matter how hard I fight,

how hard I deny,

life will keep moving forward.

It is my choice whether I move with it

or stay locked in time,

forever lost in pain.

I chose life,

because deep inside I know

that death is a step towards

something wonderful,

something more.

Like the cycles of the earth

where the winter is harsh and cold,

the plants and animals sleep

a dreamless sleep

until spring begins anew

and their journey resumes.

One day it will be my turn,

and as my bones nourish the earth,

giving back what has been taken,

I know I will see you again,

in another place,

another time

smiling at me with that special smile

all my own.

The grass under my toes

roots deep and firm,

feed me strength so I can carry on

until that day we are together again.

My heart heals,

life returns.

I am ready,

I am reborn

into the circle of life once more.

Water

On January 15, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry5 Comments

Water.
A soothing balm
to my pain filled heart,
washing sins away
so I can start anew.
Life before me,
darkness behind,
never to look back
unless demons reappear.
I gave you my heart
and you threw it away,
never even considering
what punishment awaits.
I would fear for you
as I lay drifting
peace finally finding me,
but to do so would mean
looking back
when before me lay
so many possibilities
of life,
song,
growth
and that ever elusive
yet never defeated
precious thing called
love.

Fire

On January 12, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry3 Comments

Flame washes over

Devouring greedily

Hunger so vast

Only time slakes.

Blacken char

Withers what could be

Famine strikes out

Fueling need.

Seeking what once was

Despair overshadows.

Darkness descends

Hope dwindles

As night creatures feed.

Eyes wide open

Dawn rises

Survivors pray

Today is unknown

The new world displayed.

Remember

On January 10, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry2 Comments

It hurts.

With every breath,

every thought,

my body, my mind

my soul hurts.

When will I feel whole again?

How will I survive without you?

You were my rock,

my reason to get up in the morning,

to fight for those who depend on me.

Now I feel nothing but pain.

How do I rebuild a life

that was centered around you?

How do I stop the hurt?

My darling

my love

my life.

Remember

I am never far from you.

I will be there when you are broken,

I will be there when you are healed.

You are a part of me

as I am a part of you.

Take a moment to just breathe.

Take that first step towards the horizon

knowing that you are not alone.

You will never be alone.

Remember

that I will always be with you

in your heart.

This poem was written shortly after my great-aunt passed away. Her daughter was having a difficult time and having been through loss more times than I would like to count I understood what she was going through. I truly believe that there is more after this life and that our loved ones never truly leave us, just like I believe we will once again be reunited.

One Step

On December 30, 2013December 30, 2013 By HeidiIn Poetry5 Comments

Taking one step at a time,

the world seeming big

my courage small.

Do I dare chance

feeling the pain?

Do I put myself out there

when I know what awaits me?

My heart is barely healed

yet I cannot bear the silence alone.

So I take one step into the unknown,

put my heart in jeopardy.

Try to relearn how to live,

how to breathe without you.

Days, years, of darkness

the sun is bright.

I shy away,

fear holding me back

from what I know I need to do.

A warm hand,

a gentle smile

and I know I am not alone.

My pain shared

with knowledge bittersweet.

My heart forever pieces missing

I will survive,

I will go on.

True love a distant memory,

never forgotten

yet not impossible.

One step at a time

until we meet again.

This was inspired by a story I am writing from a free write. If you would like to follow the story you can go here to read the chapter 1 of It Happened at Sunrise one Christmas Morn. I will post chapters as I write them. This will be the rough draft. Depending on how things go I will publish the final draft on Kindle.

There is another story there, Forever Lost, that started the same way. As I am polishing it up I am learning more so the final draft will be a bit different the rough draft on my site.
