Happy Sunday

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday. I hope you all had a wonderful day. I’d love to hear how your day has been. I’ve been doing some things around the house, laundry, and lots of blogging. Here is a picture of me just before baking some homemade bread!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and wish you all a wonderful week ahead! May good things come your way, and remember to make the most of every moment.

Much love,

Jennifer

13 Years

Wow, another year here on WP, doing what I love… Poetry. Writing about love and loss, life, the world, nearly everything. It’s incredible the amount of talented people that I’ve met here. Like seriously talented. However, that aside, I’ve met the most beautiful people here. I wish I could name you all, but I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know some of you outside of WP and one in person (M ❤️) To my best friend Christopher, thank you for your true friendship, the in depth conversations, all the collabs we have done and the beautiful and exciting project we are working on. 

I’ve lost a lot here too. Not just in the blog world but in my own, some are just more devastating than others in many ways. I’ve cried too many times, laughed, loved so much, grown up here really. Life has been hard, it’s been wonderful, heartbreaking, incredible, trying and fun, but I’m still here. Writing along. Continuing this writing journey with YOU beautiful souls. I am so thankful for all your love and support of my blog, it truly means so much to me.

friends are the vibrant threads 
that weave moments into memories
like stars in the night sky 
they illuminate our journey
friends are the laughter 
that dances in the air 
the comforting presence 
in times of need
and you all have become
the keepers of my most
cherished chapters

My warrior women

For all my ladies, all my warriors, and all my queens – this is an ode to you. Yes, YOU!

be confident
be strong
never bow down
don’t be defined by anyone 
don’t allow your past to determine your path

and when someone tells you all the things “they think” you cannot be, you keep pushing forward and make it known that you cannot be stopped, you WILL NOT be stopped

let others see the fire in your skin and the crown’s power upon your head. You are bathed in sunlight for a reason. You are right here and right now for a reason. We need to be building each other up and seeing the true beauty in ourselves and others 

never seek the approval of others, for it’s not needed as you already know your worth

so, all my beautiful ladies, this is for you. I believe in you, I stand with you, and I am part of you

he found her
in the middle of
an empty hour
both in silence
she spoke a language
only he understood
weaving the words
unconditional love
with each soft stroke
inside of his
anxious mind
like lover’s gravity
she seduces him
down towards
the perfect stability
that his lonely soul
has been forever seeking
as her loving frequency
sings him softly to sleep

Hidden Secrets – A Collaboration

Had the extreme pleasure of writing again with my best friend Christopher. It’s been such an honor to have been able to write so much with him lately.

Please go check out his blog https://divingdeepwithchristopher.wordpress.com give him some love and follow along on his journey.

you begin
to rake
your aching
fingers
the anticipation
burning
slowly
working its way
towards my
warm soul
electric heat
finally
reaches inside
of my desire

caressing all the
hidden secrets
of my soul
your love fills me
gliding through
the shadows
of every part

of my being
every inch
every seam
of my deepest flesh
your lingering
obsession
Is only now
my lingering question
of when will you
reveal these
hidden secrets
to me
that only you
can see
all over again?

Counterclockwise – A Collaboration

Had the pleasure to work with my best friend Christopher again! Please go and check out his blog, give him a follow and show him some love. https://divingdeepwithchristopher.wordpress.com

Thanks again for making this collaboration a pleasure to be a part of!

dancing inside
the sweet chaos
a scrapbook of memories
paper thin strips
plastered deep
into our porcelain skin
flood our veins
some nights
you feel
trapped inside
my ardent flesh
and others
fragile
like a paper doll
we’ve lost the passion
of the lovers call
all that’s left now
is to let the darkness
swallow us into
this black hole
drowning our soul
until the clock
runs out of time
until somehow
in the blink of an eye
you begin turn it back
counterclockwise
back to the beginning
the part where
you and I
Connected the chords
of our colliding lights
our pure chorus
that sparked
that very night sky

Beautiful You

You are amazing. A beautiful human, every man and every woman. Though our souls may at times set in darkness, remember that it will always rise in light. A balance of the in between, soaking up both. That is what makes us human and as I say, perfectly imperfect. 

We all are a stunning mystery, and carry the weight of the world on our shoulders each and every single day. Trying to live up to expectations and what others say we need to be. Trying to find our place in this world, when all it wants to do is keep you in a box. 

This is your reminder of how beautiful you truly are. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Look more than what any mirror will show you. The surface is only a small part of who you truly are. It’s the truth in the depths of you that is what matters the most. You are a work of art, beautifully painted and not by accident. Every beautiful part of you was created with a purpose. 

You will only know who you truly are, when you learn who you are not. Be you. Be beautifully you. I see you.

The Abyss – A Collaboration

Thank you again Christopher for this incredible opportunity to write with you again. Looking forward to part 2! Please follow his blog at https://divingdeepwithchristopher.wordpress.com

she sits
in the darkness
of the night
alone
inside the obscurity
of her cold mind
beneath the cold surface
where her screams
are silent
where her dreams
are the inner voice
of violence
here there is no help
to fight the demons
who torture her
tormented soul
in the abyss
frozen in the
paralysis of fear
she weeps
a thousand tears
that no one can
hear
wishing to faintly
disappear
from hearing these
twisted words they
proclaim
as they replay
her tragic past
whispering the madness
into her ears
reminding her of
the unspoken tragedy
these diabolical
memories
locked tight inside
the confines
of her heart
longing to be forsaken
from this prison
but never meant
to escape
or so they say
to shine outside
into the
beaming light
