I painted you a picture
Ditte Jakobsen Feb 2021
I gave to you the color blue
I drew it from the sky
I picked the flowers of the field;
red roses, yellow daffodils.
I made a lovely palette
with the brightest color-swirl,
And painted you a picture
with the colors of the world.
For me, you took a rainy day,
you handed me the darkest grey,
but told me it was green

Empty Words
Ditte Jakobsen Dec 2020
“I’m not letting go”
You say, with a distant glance
As your fingers slip out
Of my reaching hands

Roses and thorns
Ditte Jakobsen Dec 2020
Feelings of melancholy
Bittersweet like tangerines
I breathe it in, I soak it up
I let it flow all over me
In a bed of roses and thorns I lay
lustful nights and sunny days
so fondly in my memory
The thorns are sharp
but wounds will heal
The roses smell of orange peel
The freshness fills the pores in my skin
It runs through my veins, makes me glow within
It lifts me up, so I can walk with grace
I think of the future with a smile on my face

I feel so small
Ditte Jakobsen Jun 2019
There are times,
when I feel so small.
I know it's stupid,
but I feel so small.

absorption
Ditte Jakobsen May 2019
grab my hair
and touch my skin
breathe my air
and let me in
whisper softly in my ear
that I have nothing left to fear
cause time has left
and so has place
just you and me
floating through space

devotion
Ditte Jakobsen Apr 2019
I want you to tell me
about the things that you love
and watch the sparks fly
as your eyes lighten up

notgoodenough
Ditte Jakobsen Mar 2019
Perfectionism
a disease
it eats me up
and makes me bleed
internally my mind is on repeat
"notgoodenoughnotgoodenoughnotgoodenough"
from top to toe to inside my soul
my body aches, I want
to scream, cause
it eats me up
Perfectionism

they say
Ditte Jakobsen Mar 2019
they say
my heart is cold
frozen solid
made of stone
they say
i keep it safe
locked away
like it's enslaved

and i said it too.

but then i found Your heat
and by Your touch, my heart was liquified
into a puddle of pure devotion.
and i found that You have got the key
to unlock even the strongest emotions,
the ones that i thought i didn't possess.
once You opened the gates, i knew
that i was no longer in control.
my frozen heart is in the warmth of Your palms
and my wrapped-up love is starting to unfold.

all for You.
all for You

Daydreaming
Ditte Jakobsen Mar 2019
As my mind drifts off
to that place with you and me
my body gets Lighter, my cheeks get Warmer, my smile gets Wider        and my stomach gets a visit
by a thousand Butterflies.

Mirror, mirror
Ditte Jakobsen Mar 2019
Mirror, mirror
on the wall
why is she not the fairest of them all?
Mirror, mirror
why can't she see
the image of the person she wants to be?
Mirror, mirror
if she closes her eyes
then, will you stop telling her lies?
Mirror, mirror
set her free
and let her know; she's just as she should be.
But mirror, I know, it's not your fault
that I'm the victim of my own
mental assault.

Careful
Ditte Jakobsen Feb 2019
I'm watching my every single step
I'm careful not to stumble and fall
One stone on the road
could lead to a landslide
And one broken bone
could ruin it all
I'm watching my every single move
I'm careful not to scare you away
The faintest blow
could lead to a hurricane
And one wrong word
could be the last thing I say.

I fall in love
Ditte Jakobsen Feb 2019
every day, I fall in love
with places
I WANT TO go
with ideas
I WANT TO try
with people
I WANT TO know
I fall in love, every day
hoping that one day
"I want to"
will turn into
"I got to"

— The End —
