It’s been a while since I’ve made a Poetrics, but Imagine Dragons is my favorite band and “Wrecked” really speaks to me after losing my parents last year, so I had to do something with this song.
(Poetrics is a combination of lyrics from some of my favorite songs and poetry I write inspired by these songs. I take the essence of the song, the meaning it has, and write a poem on that. Then I let the lyrics of the song dance through the poem.)
Note: The lyrics always stay the property of the band or artist who wrote them. All the credit goes to them.
My Poetry is written in Italic, the Lyrics are written Bold.

Wrecked – Imagine Dragons
***
Days pass by and my eyes stay dry, and I think that I’m okay
.
But I am not okay and I don’t know if I’ll ever be
Ever since Death took you away
I am lost and searching for you desperately
.
These days I’m becoming everything that I hate
Wishing you were around but now it’s too late
My mind is a place that I can’t escape your ghost
.
I really don’t want to go to sleep
Of all the things I lost, I miss you the most
My nightmares pull me in far too deep
Memories demolish me night after night
I just wish you were here to hold me tight
.
Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away
One more rainy day without you
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day
One more rainy day
.
There will be nothing left of me after a while
Why couldn’t you just stay?
I put on a brave face, straighten my back and smile
But I am a wreck
.
Oh, I’m a wreck without you here
Yeah, I’m a wreck since you’ve been gone
.
I am trying to go on without you
Reaching for another dawn
But my nights are dark and my days are blue
.
They say that the time will heal it, the pain will go away
.
You are in everything I see and feel
Sometimes I swear you stand in the doorway
Tell me, why does your death feels so unreal?
It’s like I will never be whole again
.
Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?
.
How can I just go on living my life?
I pretend I’m okay, but feel like a con
Memories cut through me like a knife
I am a wreck without you
.
I’ve tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along
.
Unshed tears are suffocating me
You always told me to be strong
But without you, it’s not that easy
I miss your smile, hugs and advice
Love always comes at a price
.
I’ll see you again, my loved one
Yeah, I’m a wreck
I’ll see you again, my loved one

The Gift
~ ~ ~
There is a gift, precious as can be
A present, for more than one
It brings happiness, I guarantee
A lot of smiles, love and fun
You can find this gift everywhere
Most of the times even for free
You might not even know it’s there
It’s always given suddenly
It’s not wrapped or boxed at all
But it’s something you will adore
This gift can be big or small
Once received, it lasts forevermore
No returns, for it’s one of a kind
Keep it in your heart, treasured endlessly
There’s no search needed, it’s easy to find
This gift is…
a shared memory

Let’s pretend
–
Let’s pretend
That my tears stop falling
And you come when I’m calling
So my soul can stop bleeding
–
Let’s pretend
Just for a moment
That times are still pleasant
And I can feel your embracement
–
Let’s pretend
That my heart was never fractured
My calls didn’t stay unanswered
And my hope never got shattered
–
Let’s pretend
You are still with me
Living free and happily
Enjoying life in all its beauty
–
Let’s pretend
Just for a little while
That I am still able to smile
And the nights aren’t hostile
–
Let’s pretend
I never had to say goodbye
That it was all a nightmare and a lie
Let’s just pretend…
That you did not die

Replaceable
~
I thought I needed you
Because I believed you cared
A bond unbreakable
Unshakable
Uncompromising loyalty
But in reality
All was untrue
~
It was all a charade
Masquerade
So disreputable
Acting like we were inseparable
Imperishable
But the truth is
You forsaking me was
inevitable
~
Words are easy to say
Promises made with confidence
A pact sustainable
Believable
Durable reliability
But in reality
You did betray
~
True intentions are displayed
Dissuade
So incapable
Acting like it’s all erasable
Dispensable
But the truth is
You are the one who is
replaceable
~

Resonate
–
Sometimes I wonder
How we got so close, so fast
And then I ponder
Will it last?
A rare connection formed instantly
What is it, I ruminate
That red line between you and me
Is it coincidence or fate?
Sometimes I reflect
How our bond got so strong
It’s just perfect
But… for how long?
Compatible minds relate immediately
What is it, I speculate
That made us attach so easily
Is it luck or something we create?
Sometimes I think about
How you became my friend
And I try to figure out
Will it end?
Sometimes I wonder
How two hearts unite so suddenly…
But then I stop and just appreciate
That red line between you and me
And I realize how amazing it is;
We have souls that resonate

Contrast
–
Living in a world
Where everything is
Replaceable
Disposable
A world where
Promises are nothing
Love is so
Volatile
It’s normal
To lie and
Betray
Throwing ties
Away
Like it’s all
Expendable
Dispensable
A world where it’s all
Momentary
Temporary
You can’t be real
Must conceal
Your feelings
Trust is so easily
Broken
Living hesitatingly
Behind metal walls
Without ever showing
Who you truly are
What you want
No!
That won’t be me
In this world
Where everything is
Guarded
Cold
I shall break down
My walls
And let you in
Because
Even though
The world is
Perishable
Unstable
I know
Our love is different
Infrequent contrast
Yes
We are meant to last

A Monorhyme for Valentine
Hey everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to share my highlights of 2016 with you 🙂
I had a pretty awesome year!
Sure, there were some bumps on the road, but an awesome year for sure. 🙂
I know that I have not been around much because I’ve been so busy, so I want to thank you all for sticking around ❤
First of all, my third fantasy book and the last one in the Drägan Duma trilogy got published in June!
I had a great book presentation and am pretty proud of myself and my hubby for making this possible 🙂
It’s such a great feeling to finish a trilogy!
The love of my life ❤ I owe him a lot!
I have been to many events to promote and sign my books
Had a lot of fun with Team Celtica and met a lot of new people 🙂
We went to Curacao because our friends got married there! ❤
The day I saw my uncle on stage at Parkpop (a large festival in Holland) is one of the happiest days of my life. Not only did our uncle survive a terrible accident, he even managed to perform life on stage again within the year!
And my nephew Justin released his first CD, I am a very proud aunt!
Because of my PTSD some things are very hard for me.
I don’t like to be around a lot of people, I don’t like to be the center of attention and I am always wanting to stay where it’s “safe”.
But this year I did a lot of things that are way out of my comfort zone!
I have been a guest on a radio show for example! 🙂
And I did a book pitch on stage. (This was soooo scary!)
Another thing I’ve never done before is going on a roadtrip with a friend.
I am so glad that I did this, it was awesome! (thanks to Jeffrey, who has been such a great friend to me.)
We took a leap of faith with each other and I am so glad we did. I can’t even explain what this guy means to me! ❤
You guys know he’s a writer too, right? Check out his blog at www.jeffreydebris.com 🙂
And last but not least, we’ve sold 1000 books of Zij Die Hoort, the first book in the series! 🙂
(in Holland, that’s a lot lol!)
I can’t help but thinking back at the times I thought that my life would never get better. The times I felt like I was living in a nightmare.
But it did get better. Way better!
So, for everyone who is still having a hard time; hold on, keep fighting. It will be worth it some day ❤
Wishing you all an awesome, magical and loving 2017!
Lots of love,
Patty
