Entwined

Entwined: Poems in chronological order.

  • Overcoming

    We go through tests to see what can be achieved,
    Overcoming demons to do what we believed.
    Making time together under stars and under sun;
    In sharing our dreams, the journey’s just begun.

  • Promise

    In this new world, a vibrant sky
    each new star a pact from On High.
    As day by day the future unfolds,
    we find out what each promise holds–
    and when they come to contradict
    we pray that the best choice is picked.
    Holding hands under this starlit night
    we’re grateful to God in all His light.

  • Labyrinth

    I’m going through all my doors with locks to which there are no keys
    I chase myself down the halls to come to grips with what the other sees
    I just want to prove to myself that I can move beyond what held me back
    I pray that with a cleaner signal and a hope for the future, I’m on the right track

  • Haiku 20

    the weight of your touch
    how our minds have come to meet
    ethereal night

  • Making Time

    Stretching these threads that connect us
    as we go about our days
    Crafting words out of mind and syncing when we
    see the sun’s rays
    Working together for the greater possibilities
    that we might share
    We know that in love and war it is said
    that all’s not fair.
    But we do our best to be real, honest, and
    true to our word
    Even when the situations get difficult, scary, or
    however absurd
    We’re learning ways to be independent as well as
    ways to connect
    And I’m making up for lost time with the mistakes
    I correct.

  • Roleplaying

    Hearts take shape looking through glass
    Afraid to break it after what’s come to pass
    When will we find the edges and come to meet?
    Had we atoned? Can we walk on our feet?
    Or do our new choices count for sin if flesh was due
    We forgive each other but can you?
    Connected by stars, love’s not lost, it’s just transformed
    And the universe has its way of keeping me informed
    of the role I play, and what I must become
    to see that in time, this game is won.

  • Pain Suppression

    The echoes of my wounds don’t make me
    But express to me my change of course is right
    I’ll re-educate myself and do what’s demanded
    Because your spirits are shining bright
    I’m grateful for the ones who illuminate me
    Don’t have hate towards those in the dark
    Not wanting to be a hypocrite is my new polarity
    If you need to light a candle I’ll be your spark

  • Connection

    It’s been years since I first laid eyes on you,
    But getting to this point- I never knew
    I always thought I’d be medicated into dumbness
    But my choline is corrected and I am not abusing numbness
    I feel gratitude for our conversations
    And forming this bond with you under constellations
    As we align and overcome challenges
    In my heart I’m building bridges
    I want to uplift and propel you in whatever direction you want to go
    You’re the person I most deeply want to know.

  • Resonance

    When I prayed I felt the weight of His embrace
    It is said that love prevails so I may yet win this race
    If I can quell my fears and demons after I’ve repented
    A path to a brighter future can actually be cemented
    The signs and songs align me to a better pace of time
    Where I feel the freedom I need to write each new rhyme.
    I keep my head steady and silence the noise,
    understanding now that I have a role with my pen and voice.

    by Katrina

  • Hope

    Curses lifted from me as I keep hope alive
    Pages inspired and now I strive
    To keep writing on my own
    And for the ones who illuminate me
    I feel as though my heart has grown
    Determination will set me free.
