Eternity

daynauk — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:43:59 CDT

Eternity

Since we were ripped apart

The passion inside is drowning my shattered heart,

Emptiness consumes my core,

Deniable truths know your eyes will shine no more,

I attempt to recreate your face,

But a screaming black whole resides in its place,

Aching for one last kiss

Instead stranded here perished in this dark abyss,

Alone & Afraid I can’t forsake,

Desperately I hope for your body and soul to awake.

To rectify dreams and notions,

Leaving me numb and just going through the motions,

Overwhelmed and dead inside,

Pieces of me are gone and now I’m unable to abide.

Trapped amongst this debris,

How can I move forward without you here with me,

Because my love for you will last for all of eternity,

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

I have created this website to display & share my creative writing. Poetry is a form of art that expresses emotions and comes form the heart & soul of a person. It does not have to rhyme and pretty much anything goes, as it is a free form of writing. Expressing feelings through art & creative writing has proved to be very therapeutic.

ABOUT ME

My name is Dayna, I live in the North East of England. I am in my twenties and have been writing poetry since I was a child, but since developing a chronic condition at 18 that causes pain & fatigue my writing became much more than simply writing. It became a great way to express feelings and relieve tension & stress in a creative way.

I

daynauk — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:24:00 CST

I sit I smile, I laugh I cry,

Asking who what where and why.

I’m too honest because I cant lie,

On a plummeting low, then flying high.

I can be good but I sometimes defy,

Being naive and sometimes shy.

I’m creating a façade that tries to hide,

How much I’m crying on the inside,

I feel self conscious and insecure,

Needing reassurance more and more.

I’m lacking tact but my heart is pure,

With my emotions running naked and raw.

I get knocked down on my bare feet,

Resistant to admit when I’m beat.

I’m forced to retain my quickening stride,

Swallowing through my righteous pride.

I attempt to find my way off this track,

From the aftermath of this repetitive attack.

The Steel Wall

daynauk — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:51:35 CDT

The Steel Wall

Pride and fear create a false facade,

With an exterior made cold and hard

A missing piece felt deep inside,

And a burning hole that I cannot hide,

Feelings that just will not quell,

Hiding beneath this hardened shell.

Unwilling to penetrate the steel wall,

Petrified of the shattering fall.

Rejection is a hard pill to swallow,

And more disappointment might follow.

Invisible

daynauk — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:47:42 CDT

Invisible

Perishing in Silence,

Mumbling in Vane,

Crying to my Heart,

Crying in Pain.

Exhausted and Alone,

Tired to the bone.

No on can know,

The life I cannot show.

As no one can see,

Whats on the inside of me.

Played Like A Game

daynauk — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:37:35 CST

Played Like a Game

Completely shell shocked I ponder,

Trying to absorb all the information I wonder,

Was it all a game and was you for real?

Suddenly all of this drama feels so surreal.

As your cruel words crush my tear flooding heart,

No sooner do you cowardly run and depart.

Leaving me bewildered , speechless, and bruised,

Analysing your actions that my brain has fused,

I’m questioning your endless contradictions.

Still concluding that I was one of your addictions.

Because pushing forward so fast was down to you,

This aided your bombshell, from out of the blue.

What was this all? Just a big mistake?

What was the point of all this heartache?

I feel stupid and naive for believing you,

Now realising it was all part of your “woo“.

Pursuing your obsessions with lie after lie,

Just for the chase as you thrive to gratify.

Gratification of yourself and your own insecurities,

I can hear you echoing your “me, me, me, me’s“.

Selfishly and lacking compassion you end it,

Because the truth is, your thrill has played its bit.

This was never love for you just a big game,

And unfortunately I was just the next name.

Care cant vanish in an instant unless it was all fake,

Making it abundantly clear it was for your own sake.

As this all unravels I can see your true face,

I’m expecting more lies but I will still hold my grace.

I wont sink to your depth whatever is to follow,

As you play your self pity, enjoying the wallow.

Revelling in sympathy you thrive on attention,

Twisting the truth, knowing I cannot mention,

And if I confer, you would spread your web of lies,

And turn on the water works …surprise, surprise.

Desperate to remain your reign as the “nice guy”

Seeking solace and using everything you have to justify.

But endless excuses doesn’t excuse human behaviour,

And hiding behind conditions and disorders does not waiver,

Fact is you have many issues, one with commitment,

And seemingly you would rather live in your own torment.

I should have trusted my instincts from the beginning,

Then now instead of crying I would be singing.

Free

daynauk — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:36:47 CST

Free

I feel as if

Im wasting every day,

Having to be like this

and live this way.

But one day

I will fly to the skies,

And soar up

and over the tides.

Spread my wings wide

and free,

See all there is to see

and be all there is to be.

A Cautious Heart

daynauk — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:18:36 CDT

A Cautious Heart

Overwhelming emotions awaken,

As my breath becomes taken.

Confused by mixed feelings,

Trying to uncover the meanings.

Plagued by my own insecurities,

That stem from abnormalities.

Afraid to delve much deeper,

Unsure if he is a genuine keeper.

Uncertainties obstruct my view,

Hesitant of this all being untrue.

With questions driving me insane

And flooding my tired out brain.

Accused of going from hot to cold,

But I just need time to let it unfold.

My head and my heart are at war,

Now depleted, I’ve quit keeping score.

The walls around my heart weaken,

Leaves me vulnerable like a beacon,

Feelings oppose my doubts and fears,

I’m still scared of the potential tears.

Solely this is not reason enough,

I don’t want to just settle with stuff.

I’m searching for my soul mate.

Some call it naive that I believe in fate.

And relationship or not its destiny,

But no one has a long term guarantee,

Just faith trust and hopefully love,

Happiness to share and take hold of.

Deep conversations with laughter,

Things that are deeply sought after

But I’m still unconvinced and wary,

Contemplating why I’m so contrary.

He appears so certain and declaring

Somewhat obsessive but so caring.

I owe him honesty but before I admit,

I need self assurance or I cant commit.

Time and togetherness will determine,

If this ceases before it can even begin.

By Dayna Bower

Let love lead the way

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:24:07 CDT

Let Love Lead The Way

Dragged deeper and deeper by the undertow,

Darkness beckons me to the unknown below.

My torn heart turns a deeper shade of black,

Descending further away from the track.

Exhibit your capability to love so that I can stay,

Your burning desire might stop the agile decay.

Courageous and amorous true down to the core,

Your crimson heart bleeds then begins to pour.

Persistently devoted you sustain to persuade,

Celebrating the change that we could have made.

Expressing distinctly its well worth the chance,

Embracing your true heart rendering it to dance.

Pure passion can be a mighty vigorous thing,

From perpetual bliss to a sharp abrupt sting.

Maybe our romance will not cascade off course,

Remove the love your left icy full with remorse.

Refraining from love follows with life very bland,

Proceed forward as its high time to make a stand.

It is much better to have loved and to have lost,

Than unidentified with love no matter the cost.

Consolidated securely clasping both our hands,

Entwined guiding me from these dreary lands

Imagine

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:23:12 CDT

IMAGINE

Do you have any idea what it is like to feel,

Head and body painfully spinning like a wheel.

With 24 hours of bad aches and continuous pain,

Some ignorant people ask me is she really insane,

Limping around trying to blend in with the crowd,

Trying not to be noticed because she is so proud.

She’s invisible to those with cruel blind eyes,

But those that are close know more, we are wise,

The music is blasting out and deafening our ears,

Drowning out the sound of her salty dried up tears.

Tossing and turning closing her eyes so tight,

Pains make it impossible for her to sleep at night.

Brave and courageous she try’s hard not to show,

But facial expressions break through then we know.

When she sees energetic people of the same age,

Depression will set in or she will get upset in a rage.

Looking to the future and seeing a world of gloom,

Only letting this show alone stranded in her room,

So please don’t pretend you really know what it is like,

Because you do not know, you can only imagine.

I'm Alone Again

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:21:39 CDT

I'M ALONE AGAIN!

I sit alone and contemplate,

The realm of my fate.

Stranded in a minority,

Wishing for tranquillity.

Greatly I anticipate,

What purpose do I create?

Will I evade my clarity?

Or face my reality?

I guess I will just wait,

And hope for the straight.

Or be plagued with insanity,

Or be consumed by vanity.

I will conceal all the hate,

I will conceal my true state.

Because I need some normality,

For the sake of my sanity.

But here I sit Alone Again!

How Much More?

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:20:38 CDT

How Much More?

How much more pain am I to suffer?

Or will I be coping even tougher.

How much more fatigue will win over me?

Or will I be able to live free.

How much more independence will be took?

Or will I be given a second look.

How much more sorrow am I in store?

Or will I be plagued with no more.

How much more will I have to endeavour?

Or will I be this unfortunate forever.

Hand We Are Dealt

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:19:32 CDT

Hand We Are Dealt

Physical emotions I attempt to refrain,

Diverting the messages from my brain.

Overwhelmed by vivid mental pictures,

Constantly prompted by all the fixtures.

The instant I awake from the living dead,

Anguish depletes energy from my head.

Needing the supernatural to make repairs,

Banishing every one of my distressing cares.

My afflicted life’s never going to be the same,

Appears to be nothing or no one to blame.

My crumbling heart is drowning from hope,

Courageously driven finding means to cope.

My incapacitated fate will I always endeavour,

Or maybe my present situation is not forever.

Facade

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:18:26 CDT

Facade

Hiding in the shadows

And peering though the cracks,

Observing from a distance

And longing to the max.

Rays of light beckon to me

But restrictions do apply,

As these chains tighten further

All I can do is to try.

Envious of the unravelled

As I battle to break free,

Repeatedly falling downwards

Controlled by destiny,

Disagreeing with the verdict

Objecting to my case,

Why do others only see…

The FACADE in front of my face?

Chronic

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:15:41 CDT

CHRONIC

A painful mundane life,

Sharper than blades from a knife.

With each tear from my eye,

The years fly by,

Consumed with all of my strife.

Invading myself time again,

Strategic plans attempted in vane.

Endlessly fighting back,

To this frightening hijack,

But this force is too strong to refrain.

Chronic I know all too well,

Suffocating deep down inside this shell.

As I grab out in despair,

I’m gasping for air.

But my fate I just cannot quell.

A New World

daynauk — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:13:10 CDT

A New World

The night sky dazzles with an overwhelming mystique,

Glorious waves touch the sand like kisses to the cheek.

An aura of warmth can be felt on this cold frosty night,

Heightened senses absorb energy as black turns to white.

With the fade of darkness hearts swell with hope and glee,

Still knowing full well that faith doesn’t have a guarantee.

The once fizzling stars now emulate telling signs of a change,

With all pathways pointing to a luminous exchange.

Adhesives begin to bond the fractured cracks of concrete,

The unimpaired motions of the trees dance to a silent beat.

Aggressive currents transcend into shallow calming streams,

And literal nightmares become soothing living dreams.

The pale moonlight lights the land like a torch of beauty,

All beings protect their shared ground with a sense of duty,

Unitedly existing together, one for all and all for one,

Peace and Harmony in the new changing world has now begun.
