Devin LuRenz Poetry Podcast

A selecting from the Seeking Love section of "Peonies + Coffee, Five Phases of Love" anthology................................... Love Is.......... Accepting, not critical. Kind, not judgmental. Nurturing, not hurtful. If you're in a relationship, that makes you feel anything but good, And forces you to question your importance, It's not Love and you deserve better.... by devin lurenz, ©️2020, All rights reserved.

This selection taken from the Self-Love section of "Peonies + Coffee - Five Phases of Love" anthology, by Devin LuRenz ©️2020, All rights reserved..............................................................................Back from the brink of no longer caring about yourself.

Back from the pangs of anger you felt after being hurt.

Back from the edge you stood near,

Wishing someone pushed you.

Back from the heartaches, heartbreaks,

And heart takers, to whom you mattered not.

Back from the self-hating, self-loathing,

Self-punishing person you used to be.

You’re back and now you’re here.

Here to accept the greatness that is waiting for you.

Here to spread the love and joy felt just by

Opening your eyes to see another day.

Here to believe that if you give much, you get much.

Here to live each day as though it were your last.

Here to embrace what is and what will be,

And release what was.

Here to encourage, uplift and support,

Whomever is in need

Here to excite, entice, love and be loved.

Here now to enjoy the journey of life as it should be.

Don't hide your emotions,

be true to yourself. Suppression of emotions,

could be harmful to your health.

If someone hurts you,

let them know,

It doesn't make you weak to let your emotions show.

True strength and courage come from within, Shedding tears from pain, is when the healing begins.

When You Love Someone ...........................................................................You smile a bit more often

Your thoughts get lost in them

When you love someone

The sun shines much brighter

Your footsteps are lighter

When you love someone

Your days become longer

As feelings grow stronger

When you love someone

Your nights are more lustful

Your heart is more trustful

When you love someone

All poetry segments in the Losing Love section are from the Poenies + Coffee, Five Phases of Love Poems anthology. 

Losing Love is the unfortunate end of a love affair but is often required for one to move on. Extract the lessons from lost love and move on the find what your heart needs to be complete.

Don't hide behind insecurities, you have everything you need to succeed. Your imagination can transport you

To where you've always wanted to be

Anyone who tries to stifle it,

Does not want you to see

How amazing you truly are And all that you can do

Remove all inner doubt within yourself

And unleash the real you

It may be a little scary, but you can handle it

You've overcome the hardest thing

Because you didn't quit!

"You Can Do It", An original poetic reminder that the you can accomplish anything if you believe in yourself. You are your only obstacle. Have as much faith in yourself as you do in others. Be encouraged that what has been conceived can be achieved if you believe.
