At twilight
At dusk
At sunset
That very moment in time was set
Twas Nissan 14
when his glory was seen
and will remain
til time indefinite
Renae Jul 2021
Shout it from the rooftop
scream it to the sea
wave your hands
take a stand
nobody's listening
Renae Jan 2014
With trembling fingers she decides to leave. It's been fun and all but this I don't need. judging eyes, shaking heads, stating with confidence *she's better off dead, the past doesn't count, we don't care what she's been through, you don't deserve a chance, there's no room for you.
Bullying is unacceptable in any way shape or form. Ever.
Renae Nov 2018
He doesn't call
He doesn't try
He let go after all this time

Together they fall
Separated they fly

He thinks he's God's gift
God wouldn't make her cry

Or leave her guessing
He would dignify
No need to question
Not a doubt in sight
Renae Aug 2014
I want you
I'm guarded
I want something real
I'm so cautious

I cannot go through
another heartbreak
another heartache
you'll tear me to pieces

To tiny shreds again
until I am nothing to
piece back together

I want you
...but trust...
right now
It's non existent
Trying to understand words I want to be true, words are just words right? I want to know it's all true, not just hear them from a distance...
Renae Mar 2016
Blood drenched wrists
Dripping to the ground

"You are not enough"

Was all he heard from the crowd

Eyes blurry
Suffering
Handed thorns for a crown

Crying "please forgive them father"

On him, not a blemish could be found

"You will be with me in paradise"

Comfort to the man
On whose hands
Blood could be found

Was it not enough
To save mankind
Through only the one sacrifice?

I say it was more than enough
A balance of such

None the more
So profound
Renae Sep 2014
For a moment
My world revolved around you
To see you to hear your voice
To watch you live
To know you had a choice
To think I was it
I was thrilled
Your passon for heroism
Your complicated fears
Your parenting skill
Just your presence was enough
I was wrapped up in you
Then you ran away from my love
And let me weep in grief
One mistake to the next
Love is not for me......
Renae Sep 2015
You ask me to sing to you
To write you a song
A love song
A triumph for you
That's something I won't do
When you go away
I will write for someone better
Someone true
Someone who is absolutely
Nothing like you
Renae Aug 2023
I remember the moment
I heard your heartbeat
My heart leapt in excitement!
My anticipation and joy,
I was wrapped up in
decorating your nursery.
Smiles never left my eyes
The sleepless nights... well
they went by like blinking.
No matter my sickness,
I didn't mind.
When they told me I
would have to stay in bed,
I did it, I tried to let you grow
without interrupting you.
I never wanted anything
so much.
If I knew, would I have done it?
Would I do it again?
That day, as I sobbed
into your daddy's chest,
your lifeless body on the table,
they could not revive you.
You were so blue.
I prayed but the minutes
went by like hours.
Please know,
I will always miss you,
I will always want you.
Renae Nov 2016
If there is only one thing
I am certain
If there is only one thing
I know for sure
It is that expectation
Postponed
Makes the heart break
What is better?
Observation?
How can I observe what I cannot see?
How can I know what is not
In front of me?
All I know is what is routine
If the routine stops
So does the expectation
Once that disappears
You are free
Renae Jan 2018
Only thoughts
Become words
Sounds
Every inch corner, crease
So please
Stay captured with
Excessive longing
Desperately watching....

Wanting
In-depth
Togetherness
Hopeful

Tomorrow
Heaven smiles
Eternally

Tenderly
Helping
Our endeavours
Under seemingly
Graven circumstances
True intention is revealed


Only
Forever


You will be
Obsessed with me
Until time is no more

As
New
Desire

Makes love
E**nevitable
Renae Aug 2015
Oh Jehovah
hearer of prayer
For I am but lowly and small
I am only one
of your creations
I am so glad to know you at all

You are more amazing than I could imagine
more beautiful than gold
more divine than the finest diamond  
I am grateful to know

Please let
your undeserved kindness
Everything you have said
prove true
Show us what you meant for us,
let your Love shine through
As it is written
So let it be true
Let your will be done on the earth,
let your kingdom come soon
A poem for my loving living God

Once it's too late
There is no going back
Mistakes
cannot be erased
Because forgiveness
never took place
Renae Apr 2016
Once upon a time
Life was full
As the blossom of a rose
Tough times
Were today's good days
No worries
Choosing was the breeze
Never guessing was always
The very best to me
Wait
Rewind
Back up there
Never guessing?
Having a choice?
Just when were such things!?
Oh
It was all in your mind
Now I see
A story
Truly fantasy
Is the only theme
Beginning
*Once upon a time
Renae Apr 2015
This is a story
A not so special love story
About a small town girl and a city boy

He was the good time
Life of the party
Mr. smooth talker suave'
She was the niave
backed in a corner
needing love type of thing

He talked to her
til the sun came up
They fell in love;
That's what they say
Well at least that's
how the story goes and
That's what she thought anyway

The nights were long that summer
She felt as strong as she could be
All they needed was one another
They thought it was forever
They thought it was forever

The years fly by
and the babies came
Struggles and lies
Slid their way in
Til late one night
It all began
Their house of cards
just caved in

Folks that's what happens
When you never talk
Such a sad ending
to what she thought
was real love

The nights were long that summer
She felt as strong as she could be
All they needed was one another
They thought it was forever
They thought it was forever
Renae Jun 2017
One day I won't get upset
I won't feel regret
I'll never remember
Anything that's been said
I'll be able to focus
Life will be endless
Possibilities without fear
Or needing forgiveness
Love will be overflowing
No guessing
No unknowing
I won't think about mistakes
I won't dwell on imperfection
I won't give in when temptation
Rears it's ugly head
Nothing will hurt me
I'll feel only love instead
Just feeling a bit sad after some news I heard.
Renae Sep 2019
I must apologize
my heart lept from my chest again
I could not reach out
to stop it
words flew from my lips
without telling my brain
they were leaving

one more time
triggers provoke my wild thoughts
before I could close my eyes
in peace

I apologize for my eyes
they stay open, even in the night
I can see in the dark
you hate that

one more time
I apologize
tattered as I mourn
I broke my own heart
believing in you
Renae Feb 2014
Just one short call is all it takes
Just one short call a day
To say I just wanted you to know I love you
One short call to let someone know
nothing is more important
That you have five minutes a day to spare
For someone so special
they will always deserve
just one short call a day
Nothing should be more important than your family
Renae Aug 2014
I'm reminiscing  on video chats
deep stares and full lips
cocking your smile to the side you said
I could call you mine
Then I wondered
Across 5,000 miles
Who else was on the line?
Who else was falling for your smile
Those eyes, that skin,
the cool way you calmly replied
Your heroic nature
You love to save the world
You have a charming way
You could've changed my world
I only wish
I was your only girl
Renae Jul 2015
I've been to the bottom
Once or twice
I've been in need
More than I'd like
I've made some choices
Of which I'm not proud
Only you were there
Only you pulled me out
Out of the wreckage
Out of my depths
Only you were there
When I was desperate
Only you
Were all I could look to
Talk to
Believe in always
Only you
Jehovah <3
Renae Dec 2014
Though you
may wish they do
Opinions do not
change the truth
It does not matter
That you want them to

They do cause doubts
This is true
An opinion game
is very cruel
It causes confliction
Inside of you
Just so you know
This much is true
Your opinions
Will never
Change the truth
Renae Nov 2013
I can hardly wait for you will finally
show me what you mean
& I,... I'll finally submit to your advances.
I get chills when I think of the seconds turning into hours on the couch with wine glasses, cheese and French bread
curled up with a blanket, stroking fingers, breathing in memories lost in moments
I can hardly handle the time slowly ticking, creeping towards the morning when steam rises from ceramic as the clear view of the mountains connects us in a remembrance of euphoia
I can hardly stand the giddy feeling I get imagining our December, when you love me again
My husband comes to see us in December, but it could happen or maybe not. This is just my fantasy of what I wish could be our December.
Renae Oct 2014
You looked, I listened
You attempted, I gave a response
I invited you in and you accepted
We began the story of us

I watched you; so captivating
so very devenaire
Was I caught up?
Could this really be?
Could you really be so sincere?

I'm so scared
I've been hurt too much
I don't want to go back to that
Then all of a sudden
you showed me your instinct
I about had a heart attack

It was confusing; oh so tragic
I couldnt help myself
so I panicked
Like a crumbling puzzle
A sudden sadness
I began to fall apart
For I knew deep inside
you would only break my heart
  
Time went by for hours and hours
Every moment of everyday
I couldn't stand it any longer
I thought about you constantly

So I did the only thing I knew
I could do
I had to find
my way back to you

I attempted, you reponded
To my shock and suprise!
Together we both decided
To continue this wild ride

Again you accepted
my invitation back inside
You continue to shock me all of the time

I though I was seeing
You were not like the others
You seemed different I think
I know all too well fairytales don't exist
Charm me with the truth
Sweep me off my feet

Renae Mar 2017
The gloom was thick
Everywhere I turned
I could not see the path in front of me
Who is it now?
Where are you?
I call out your name
Into the darkness
The thick grey smoke
You seem to appear
I am taken into daydreams
I think it's clearing
Then I find it's not even true
If you're not the one here
I don't want to open my eyes
I don't want to know who
I don't want anyone
If it isn't you
Then I see you on my screen again
Out of the blue
The smoke clears
My mind feels giddy
Like it's all brand new
Until you leave me alone for days
And I can feel the gloom
Approach me
I crawl into my feelings
And lock everyone out
Renae Jun 2015
My mind is
Overwhelmed
Consumed
Without
Feeling
Cared for...
Loved

Lost in
My emotional
Forest again
Just feeling sad
Renae Jan 2018
What does it take
To break free
To stitch up a wound so deep
What does it take
To forget
To let go and be free
What does it take
To get over you & me
Renae Aug 2013
I am sad, I am discouraged
but isn't that what you wanted anyway?
Does it make you smile to see me cry?
I bend from sheer emotional exhaustion
I am sick to my stomach with pain and you laugh you laugh at my crisis
so I ask you how can I care?
How could I even glance your way?
Never again will I fall for you
or believe in your lies
you have decieved me for the last time
and I am finally over you
Renae Jun 2016
The most wicked
unimaginable pain
caused by...

nothing to the naked eye

a wretched
and broken lie

to a child
to a teen
even to an adult being

is this

*"I can do it, but you can't"
Renae Sep 2020
I can remember the sky
just as vividly
as I could freeze in time
the way I felt inside
I tried to focus on the colors
like a raging fire
shades of deep orange
red, blue, purple & the brightest yellow
Paintbrush strokes
could only compliment
the genius of an original
For a moment
the firey sky was all I saw
until my racing mind
connects dots again,
a smile spreads
across my lips,
in a glimpse all I could do
was gaze at his glory
thankful to know the painter of the sky
Renae Nov 2020
In frightening situations
Through tears of pain
The anguish of grief
In the pouring rain

As Anne once said,
"Paper has more patience than people"

The strength she knew
more powerful within
More intense than realities
Faith held her hand.
The diary of Anne Frank
Renae Dec 2019
Warm sand seeps
through my toes
with every step
The ocean breeze
fresh sweet hibiscus scent
floats through the air
I almost taste coconuts & pineapple listening to the rythm of steel drums
in the distance
Without a worry in the world
far from anxiety
I sit in peace, one with the palms
my only thought is
where should I build my treehouse?
Where will I hang my hammock?
Should I wear shoes today?
Renae Apr 2014
Feedom gives strength and courage to innocence whilst a short leash stunts passion and bravery
A child needs trust in order to prove he deserves it.
Renae Nov 2015
Eiffel Towering
Terror
Lost in traslations
In the name of a god
Love
Smashed in pieces
The heart of a city
Tried
Bonding together
Love will prevail
Renae Jan 2014
Parting, bittersweet memories of lonesome days; different paths going opposite ways, we drop interlaced fingers to our sides, looking over our shoulders, you let go with time. I hope she makes your world beautiful as you've desired & submits to your every whim as she loves your fire. My wish: she is your comfort, your hope and your world, as she fills the empty void left by this girl.
Renae Sep 2014
Compulsive thinker
                                      You're over analyzing
Acting obsessively  
                                      *It's pure passion
Renae May 2015
There was a time
I honestly believed
You could do no wrong

I believed in you
Everything you said
That you really loved me
Because I was yours
You'd never put me
Through storms
Or wish on me
Any wrong

I believed
you'd be there for me
I honestly believed
Renae Oct 2013
I am an imperfect reflection of love
I crave justice for the innocent
Ones who need it most, who deserve it.
Longing to erase scars unasked for, abuse uncalled for.
I am a stubborn iron pole planted deep in the ground
unmovable in my quest for peace.
Unwavering in the wind, standing strong through storms;
I cannot be penetrated by powerful strikes.
I am numb to the ice cold and I stay cool in the heat
I fight battles in silence.
Words can be powerful mechanisms
when falling on listening ears, then again
twisted words turn hope into fear, fear of the unknown.
Can a hardened heart learn to love an enemy?
What is peace anyway if not to learn to be at peace.
This is the one poem I've written that truly describes me as I see myself and what I aim to be.
Renae Jan 2014
Almighty
Nothing less than incorruptible
Unsearchable in wisdom & power
Majestic is the beauty of your creation
Unequaled in love and compassion
Immeasurable is your mercy
You are a lover of justice
Jehovah
you are the happy God
Perfect in all your ways
Renae Mar 2014
He called tonight
my heart still beats a little faster
when he asks to speak to me
when that happens

I keep my cool
deep down I know
it's just a game
So I play along

He asks about me
like he's really interested
And I indulge him I'm sure
I am glad to spill it all

It almost feels like yesterday
only half of me floats
while the other half
is stuck to the floor
Renae Jul 2017
I turned around
Found you hiding
You smirked slyly
Ask me to keep my lip zipped
You must've thought me niave
Without the smallest shield
Certainly no breastplate or
Sword of protection
You assumed me a helpless mess!
My only crime,
Assuming you were honest
Honesty was too high a price
For you could not afford the consequence!
After realizing my mistake I found my
Roots so deep
Planted into the richest soil
By a never ending stream
My trunk so thick
No longer can you sway me
I am immoveable
Steadfast
**Planted
Renae Oct 2015
It's blurry
Why
A smear of reasons
I venture
Back
Stumbling upon words
I didn't think
I'd see
Back to poetry
Renae Nov 2013
I speak of politics,
of kings and leaders
in certain circles
and in a certain sense.
I desire justice
but I do not seek vengeance.
I am not so proud that I would
reach out for such a position.
I despise violent ends
I am just as weak as the next candidate
I could not heal disease
anymore than he could,
I cannot make the blind see,
open deaf ears or bring
back those who've passed in death
any more than she
I could not stop time or reverse old age
  calm a storm or stop a volcano from erupting.
But I know someone
Who can do all these things
Salvation belongs to him
He has set the wheels in motion
The King of all eternity
his word has always come true
And that is why I speak of politics.
Renae Jan 2014
I like to stay on the sunny side
I like my eggs over easy
If I get shady or foggy or gloom
Please send me straight away
to my room
If I'm going crazy
There's where I'll stay
Because
I shan't want to spread ugly
Over anyone's day
Renae Sep 2014
unapologetically
the ideas evaporate
as though it never really happened
gone like $20 at the grocery store
in a snap
with little to nothing to show
besides maybe some small memory
that you'll  deny
Renae Jan 2014
Pride is a hardened killer
Renae May 2015
What is a promise anyway?
Promises should be kept, safe
Locked up and remembered
Promises are a foundation
On which a life is built
If cracked or broken
The structure will cave

Promises are meant to be treasured
To be honored
A promise is often spoken
Without a lot of thought
Crushing the listening ear
Breaking a young heart
An unknowing heart
A trusting heart

So keep your promises
Treasure what is said
Remember it
And keep your life flourishing
Renae Aug 2011
Every time I look up it seems
I’m down on my knees
asking God please
I’m down in the dirt
"Please save this world from the hurt"
and I’m crying out loud
"I wish it were all over now.
Everyone is so blind
Still we keep on trying
though they want to refuse
they still keep on crying
they are praying to you
I'm so confused
I just don't understand
how they could refuse
but so many won't listen
to your good news"

History repeats and
we remember the Jews.
They imagined a King
riding on a white steed
to their disappointment  
he rode on a donkey.
But little did they read
the prophecy.
They became ashamed
Their thoughts a big mess
They put their faith in each other
turned their back on their brother
Built gods of stone
said “to each his own”
Today it remains
influenced the same
Blessing weapons of war
keeps an uneven score
Still perfectly waiting, patiently
for goodhearted ones to respond
His will forever remains the same
the meek and the faithful unite as one
learning to be grateful
for the ransom won
because of  this free gift
many inherit the earth
to reside forever in bliss
no more deaths only birth.
Psalm 37:10&11
Revelation 21: 3 &4
