    About this ebook

    This is a collection of poems that I wrote between October 2003 and October 2006. They are poems ranging through love, war, happiness, sadness, motivational, and much more. To this day I find them to be inspirational, thought provoking, and helpful on many levels and I hope you do as well.

      Jun 20, 2018

      It’s summer, which means it’s time for a new playlist. Instead of seeking out new music, I decided instead to play through the songs in my current music library, combing for old or undiscovered gems. If you’re like me, you’ve accumulated music over t

      Poems - Patrick Von Mende

      Set out to the World

      With doors wide open

      As wide as the ocean

      Nothing is impossible

      Just believe

      Take a moment

      Grasp it and hold it

      Save it and mold it

      When the moment is perfect

      And you can no longer contain it

      Say it and use it

      Take the advantage

      When there is no disadvantage

      Manage what you must do

      To maintain what you must do

      You can do anything

      For something or for nothing

      You can topple mountains

      Change the winds

      And build innovation

      Take a moment

      Grasp it and hold it

      Do not release it

      This moment is golden

      Hard Times

      Though times may be hard

      Obstacles impassible

      Labyrinths unsolvable

      Bills not payable

      Choices unthinkable

      Yet there is always a light

      A light at the end of the tunnel

      In order to reach that light

      One must simply believe

      It is with that belief

      That doors open

      Earth moves

      Bridges rise

      A whole world of possibilities

      Mending through your mind

      Creating flight

      All must travel to the light

      The light at the end of the tunnel

      It is time to cast hard time aside

      Though there will always be

      There also will be a tunnel

      Believe in everything there is to believe in

      Break the hard times down

      And build the good times up

      Just believe

      Hot Tub

      It fills in all around you

      It is cooled by your touch

      You are warmed by its touch

      It is so relaxing

      Steaming all around

      Bubbling from the sides

      Warming from all around

      A soft low drone

      Swoons you to sleep

      But if you are to sleep

      You may wake

      In a different place

      When you have had your full taste

      Rise up to the waist

      Rise up slowly

      Or you’ll surely become faint

      Close it up

      Until next time

      Let it simmer up

      If You Leave Me

      I look to the heavens

      At the stars in the skies

      Not a single star lies

      Of the beauty instilled in your eyes

      Even if you shall cry

      A tear drop from heaven

      Your beauty still invigorates my soul

      These feelings are hard to control

      My love for
