The Poetry of Marion Berndt
@MoveMePoetry
Shine for the world.
Open your door.
Childhood on your skin.
Red, feeling raw.
Shine for the people.
Shine to be loved.
You reject your trauma,
but keep up your walls.
Shine for yourself
guided from above.
Face your masks
- and rip them off...💞

@MoveMePoetry
Breathing in.
Golden stare.
Confused.
Eyes lost
their colour.
After all
that had been.
Last heartbeat.
Final let go.
Escaped duality.
Pearl's gone home.
Set free.
Empty shell.
Breathing out.
Memory tattoo.
Alone.

Thanks again to each of you!🙏 I've enjoyed this place to the fullest. I'd never seen myself as a poet, you saw me. Lots of love!🤍

A place
at the attic,
it's a box
meticulously locked.
Long time ago
covered by
a blanket,
pushed silently
into a secret corner.
Spiderwebs,
dust of centuries,
veil of forgetting.
By believing
Pandora's song
I must ignore,
Phoenix I strangled...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
Empty.
High tower.
Shining refuge.
Lack.
Sinister prison.
Seven locks
of self-deception.
A dozen windows
of longing.
Sadness bleeding.
Anger beating
heart.
The silence
is hushed up...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
No two loves
are the same.
No-one really knows
how to love.
We just do our best.
No teacher, no book.
Redamancy is nothing
to copy and apply.
More an adventure,
the salt in life,
a learning path
- a new chance
because
no two loves
are the same...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
There's a place that'll always be yours
-my heart.
There's a safety you can always rely on
-my hand.
There's a strength you can always trust
-my love.💞 I'm here.
@MoveMePoetry
I love the way
we are
sanding balls
for each other.
Carressing
our open wounds
carefully,
tenderly.
Filling the other's
deepest cracks
with the
softened sand
of our own
pain healed...💞
#MMPoetryBattle

@MoveMePoetry
This is you...
Introvert.
Anchorite.
Retreat behind
your wooden fence.
Notoriously private.
Circling
above your head.
Roasting
in your moods.
Protection
against rejection.
Empty battery.
This is you...
My poetry
the foot
in your door...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
#poetry
@MoveMePoetry
Cage of iron bars.
Prison of thoughts.
Golden key
in the lock.
Choir singing
solidarity.
Flatliners. Brave.
Seemingly safe.
Hearts become gloomy
when minds are cleaned.
Getting busy hating those
who never forgot:
Our thoughts are free.
#MMPoetryBattle
#poetry
@MoveMePoetry
Free
like the birds
flying high above the trees,
like the waves
rolling over the seven seas.
Free
like the wind
blowing through my dreams,
like the shooting star
falling for my need to be free!
#MMPoetryBattle

Haunted house.
No back door.
Heart of it more scary
than ever before.
Under the fullmoon
each window
a blinding light.
The only way out - dive
from the attic down
into the deepest depths
to meet the most
intrusive ghost
you never wanted
to face...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
My heartbeat
is your voice in me
echoing
in the endless web
of veins
you roam
calling my name.
Your voice
resonates
in the numberless cells
of my mortal house.
The home of my soul
is flooded
with your singing...💞
#MMPoetryBattle

@MoveMePoetry
The earth
must be hurt
to sow a seed.
Neither the sun
will apologize
for enlightening
the crack,
nor the clouds
in the sky
will stop
the rain
nurturing it.
A seed's choice:
drown or
geminate...💞
#MMPoetryBattle

Life
dimming down,
feeble light
surrendering.
Short moment.
An instant of
amalgamation.
Time zones
kissing.
Meeting of
night and day,
of you and I.
Twilight...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
#poetry
Good night!🌜🌞💤
@MoveMePoetry
Pinned postcards.
Fading photos.
Dirty dishes.
Cold coffee ground's
sweet smell.
Sheeny sheets.
Socks on the sofa.
Sound of the shower.
Rattling razor.
Morning mood.
Holding hands.
Two toothbrushs
in one glass.
House key.
Home...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
#poetry
@MoveMePoetry
Too many first times
unexpected and at once.
First encounter
in a gloomy street.
First touch.
Eyes meet.
Eyes of two strangers.
Lovers kiss.
Feeling is knowing
what souls missed.
Anscient pain.
Unexpressed hearts.
Pain is love...💞
#MMPoetryBattle

@MoveMePoetry
BLUE is my world.
Lucid luxurious prison.
My castle is not my home.
Forced into meditation
about my rippling waters.
Fearfully circling
until the circle's closed.
And when they come
to see the animal that I am,
I just sit down and
sink into my BLUE.
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
I love you
for the way
you handle
both our fears,
for giving and
taking your time.
And I thank you
for teaching me
to trust and let go.
And I've never
felt neglected
in your moderate
love's coat.
Mutual redamancy.
Something solid growing
dose by dose...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
My letter
travelling thru time.
Once written
to save your life.
New life, new war.
#clock
ticking
faster, louder now.
Promise to return.
In good faith
caught easily again
you march in a new
mainstream mob.
Unable to stand
by your soul.
My letter
ignored...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
@blackonred
Panic decision
and with it
the cold came
creeping in.
Decision by
your "little man".
Hidden hurt
at the attic
of a stubborn heart.
Your own mask
shown to you
at what you
call home
at all cost.
Wrong side of the fence.
Tip of your iceberg.
Cliffhanger...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
Hiding
your thin skin
under the veil of
lucid fog
on your mirror.
Reasonable
reasons,
limped lies,
egg-shell
excuses.
See-through
self-deception.
Penetrating
illusions.
Mist of your
bright nights...💞
#MMPoetryBattle

@MoveMePoetry
The kitchen
Peeling apples.
Telling fairy tales.
Landlady of the
family pub.
Regulars' table
always richly set.
Gathering around
mother goose.
Everybody's
suggestion box.
Unobtrusive authority.
The heart in the centre,
and the power
in the heart.💖
#MMPoetryBattle

@MoveMePoetry
I let go.
I let it flow.
My love
travelling
the road
it must go.
My tenderness
healing
someone's wounds.
My voice
touching
a beloved soul...💞
#MMPoetryBattle

Happy feeling you are reading now😉.
Good night 🌜💤!
@MoveMePoetry
Pain with a name,
I don't dare to heal.
Two faces crushing
my self in between.
I am not who I am, and
I don't want to be my truth.
I don't trust my fate, and
I can't believe in you.
My pain goes too deep.
Only on my surface
feeling feels safe...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
#poetry
@MoveMePoetry
Like a moth
circling around a firefly
following the master of dancing
duality's dance
hypnotized.
Rotating in spirals
together apart ascending
begging for polarity's tangle.
Symmetry of passion and home.
The complicated
now a simple arrival
in one cynosure...
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
Once upon a time
there was a crippled aura.
In the crippled aura
there were filthy chakras.
Under the filthy chakras
was a withered skin.
Within the withered skin
there was a hyped mind.
The hyped mind was bound
to a crammed heart.
Pain...💞

What a crazy afternoon!😳 I'd started my Sat. meditation🧘♀️, a boom and a baby falcon (I think) sat visibly dazed on my balcony! My💓. I talked to it while praying. Then in me a voice said, it'll fly again. That moment it spread its wings and flew away. Deep gratefulness!🙏
@MoveMePoetry
Your darkness
makes me writhe
in pain.
Life cuts you,
I'm bleeding.
My pulse stumbles
stuttering
with your fate.
My breath catches
when you gasp
for air.
Completely
imbued with you.
Love's stronger
than despair.
Soul's thicker
than blood.
Skinned heart...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
Had to learn to see
through the eyes
of a woman.
In confrontation
I understood devotion.
I grew grey hair to grasp
seeming weakness
as real strength.
Till dancing
between two poles
finally made sense.
Had to learn
to feel through
the eyes of a woman.
#MMPoetryBattle
Thank you🙏

@MoveMePoetry
Oh, he's my
treasurous treasure!
The way I treasure
my treasure
he treasures me
as his treasured treasure
beyond measure
tenderly.
And we make each other
the other's treasurer
of our common treasure chest
in which we treasure
our most precious gem...💞
#MMPoetryBattle
I am very happy and proud to be part of this great project! 📚🖋I feel to be in the best of companies with a lot of friends! 🤍Thank you for your trust in my poetry, Gabriela!🙏

Smell
unforgetable.
Little ladybird leaving
the runway on my arm.
Gentle breeze breathing.
Cotton swaps
at a snail's pace above.
Sunsplashed soul.
Tiny titmice twitter tweets.
I hide from the world
by diving right into it.
Treasure
unforgetable.
#MMPoetryBattle
@MoveMePoetry
To all fluctuations
matched frequenzy.
Sensing smoke
before brooding overheats.
Seeing dark clouds,
cover you before they bleed.
Visit in your dark room
with humour and profundity.
When the levees break
amalgamate
with my silent sea...💞
#MMPoetryBattle

God of my heart.
You fell before my feet.
I want no choice
but devotion.
The wheel of fate
turning our souls' wheel
of fortune.
The heavenly
falling to earth...💞
