Has Been Your Choice
February 13, 2025
I hear you calling
I see your face
yet
I don’t understand
all you’ve done
what
has been your choice.
If I answer
if
I smile to your face
does that mean
I’m part of
complicit with
what you’ve done
what
has been your choice?

Slowly, Cautiously I Proceed
January 29, 2025
Slowly, cautiously
I proceed
thru life
seeking to find
a place
divine
Where I can live
be myself
not destroying another
or
being blind
to the hurts of others
Slowly, cautiously
I proceed
I’m on my way
following this path
throughout
the minute, the hour
the day.

All You Want
January 20, 2025
You can have
all you want
everything you need
to be
that one
you were meant
to be.
But
only, only
if
you believe
in
kindness
love and sanctity.

Riley Passed Away Yesterday
January 17, 2025
Riley passed away
yesterday
his beating heart stopped
his breath ceased to be
only memories
memories that is all we have
you see.
A gentle, kind, wondrous guy
knowing, knowledgeable
a smile on his face
devoted beyond belief
this was Riley
who now has been.
He passed away, passed away
yesterday
rest in peace sweet Riley
you were loved and loved
unconditionally.
~ Patrice
~ My deepest condolences to his family and all that loved him ~

No More
January 8, 2025
Sorry
to hear
so sorry to feel
aggression
from
the south
A friend I thought
but
no more
We had one another’s back
we smiled and shared
but now
that’s gone
that’s
no more
It’s aggression
belittle
steal
and
more
A friendship
gone bad
is
not a friendship
I need
any more.

You Can, Can You
January 7, 2025
You can hear me
you can see me
but
can you feel
my heart beating?
Can you
be alongside me
and
know what I’m thinking?
Can you?
Can you do
all these things
can you?
I’m just asking.

No More Will I Be
January 6, 2025
No more
Will I be
that one who stands back
quietly
No, not me
I will show who I am
who I want to
who
I’m going to be
Cause you see
if I don’t
no one will know me
I won’t be.

Needs To Be Said
January 2, 2025
I write
I say the words that
I believe
needs to be said.
I love the people of the world
only wish
they would not
be so intent on living
not thinking
how destructive
each footstep we take
can kill, eliminate
destroy living souls
who’ve done nothing
nothing but try to be
to live.
Take care to tread lightly
as you can
and
together we’ll make
the world a wondrous place
where we live
in
blissful harmony.
That’s all, that’s it
I’ve said
I believe
what
needs to be said.

I Paint
December 18, 2024
I paint
my calendar
I paint all night
I paint
till the morning light.
I know
my subject feels
the brush strokes caressing them
this beloved pet
I paint
today
and
most of tonight.
