#patience poems on Hello Poetry

Nena Twedell Sep 2014

Close my eyes tonight
In hopes of happiness and peace
Using my determination as a light
To scare away the darkness and the monsters that comes with
Its hard to manage when you don't mind the dark some days
Don't mind walking in the dark
Prefer it most days
But that’s in this world
Not the world of my head
In the world of my head I have to shine this light around
And push it all away
So I can keep pushing forward
So that I can explore the new part of my mind
That is attempting to take over my world as we speak
I've already decided it can't have it
I won't let it squelch the things I've worked so hard for
Determination it shall fear
And I shall not fear it
No matter how hard it pushes
I may have to step back
But I refuse to stand at the bottom of this mountain
And pretend everything is ok.
I've already attempted that
I've already looked for the answer at the bottom of a bottle
The answer isn't there
The answer is in Determination and patience
Forgiveness of myself.

The News: Part 2 of The London Trilogy

They never said when
And time trickled on
Assignments came and went
Shows were performed
Tests were studied for
And taken in due course.

But...

They never said when
And her mind kept churning the idea
Slowly it twirled
Around and around in her head
Until she could taste the possibilities:
Smooth and creamy
And a little nutty
Like her soul

But she couldn't be sure.
So she fussed
And she kept herself
Outrageously busy

But now and then she thought of it
And her pulse raced
Her brow furrowed
As she tried to bully her wishes into reality
In spite of her fear
That she would be made a fool.

Finally...

Her world was packed
In a black room
And she was more nervous
Than she had been in her life

She made sure to wear
The white sweater
And the gold scarf
Just in case
Someone would look at her

The world went still
The words were said
And somehow she knew.
She knew what he was going to say
Before he said it because

She wasn't in her body
Her life was a hard back book
With well worn edges
And a ***** cloth cover
Where heroines
Can get anywhere
With hard work

And a lot of coffee.

The Heron

The heron sits still
in the tranquil waters
waiting with patience for its prey
casting a shade with its wings
the fish squirms between its beak

escape from the cardboard box

I am not scared anymore
For I know
That for every horror that has been endured
Every scar carved into my soul
Each hardship
That has made me who I am
There are ten thousand stars out there
Shining bright against the dark
Like holes poked in boxes
of a cardboard earth
And they shine bright, beam with promise
Of joy and light
And have simply waited to reveal themselves
Until my time was right

A bit more personal than previous poems but ***** it if it's positivity it deserves to be spread

Everything in Time

I've been thinking about my goals and how I will acheive them and I keep running into this good for nothing bleep called PATIENCE. So heres a lil something

I want everything-everything
I want the world because I can
I want power because I can
And I want everything because I can.
I am tired of hoping and wishing and promising
because I CAN- be tired of it
I want now, and I want
everything
I want time, I want love, I want happiness
I want knowledge
and yes I want everything
and yes I will get everything I want as long as I realize I should want
PATIENCE.

Patience.

I can’t seem to figure it out.
I will sit here for the rest of my life.
I’m okay with hitting my head of a wall
resilient until I figure it out.

Patience, a virtue from what I hear.
maybe the key ingredient.
But, how long can I wait?
How long until there is some salvation?

I want to see your smile one more time,
Not in a photo.
I want to see your smile right in front me,
So close that I can touch it
So I can run my fingers across every groove inside your lips.

I look at you with desperate eyes
but you see past them.
You spit in distaste and hate,
As if I am nothing,
As if I had never held any relevance to your life.

Waiting for The Light

When the Disciple is ready
The Master will Appear
In silence.
With answers,
Not the cure.
Dont rush so much
He will come
Who ever he is
Where ever you'll be
The Master will appear
When The Disciple is ready.
