Angry

August 22, 2017

Tiger ~ Illustration by Patrice

Furious and bitter
Mad and angry
Hate the controlling people
Who try to control
Me.

Their ashes and residue
Spewing forth
Needless discord, no harmony.

Angry

I’m angry
Angry at me.

Glorious Morning Light

August 21, 2017

Ice Storm ~ 2016 Photo by Patrice

The sun rises bringing light
To the darkness
Shrouded in the night.

Exposing goodness
Brightness
And
Healing light.

The way is lit for those
Lost in the darkness
Of an unforgiving night.

No one knows
From where it comes
Or where it goes
When we sleep at night.

It just appears
Bringing
Glorious morning light.

The Beauty Of A Sunset

Filtered Sun ~ photo by Patrice

The beauty of a sunset
Filtered sun falling thru
The splendour of the sea
Nothing can impress
Like the world around of me.

No one will see the ugly
No one can forsaken me
For in my opinion
My heart is an untold wonder story
That I’m settling down to read.

Let The Memories Thrive

August 16, 2017

Karen's Love ~ Watercolour Commission by Patrice

Let the memories thrive
In my head, my heart
Our lives.

Let them not control
The moments now
Nor allow me to live a lie.

But exist with their thoughts
To survive, to strive
To be alive.

Soldiers March

August 15, 2017

Fox Hounds on Parade - Photo by Patrice

Soldiers march
Feet hitting the ground
Sending thunder, fear
That does resound
In a heart filled in ache
Pity and pain
All those things not needed
But
Unfortunately
Part of the refrain.

My Pen

August 11, 2017

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

My pen writes what I say
My pen never questions
The words I put down.

Anyone can use
My pen
It doesn’t care but writes
What the fingers share.

My pen
Follows along
Putting down the thoughts
Without it the words would
Be long, long gone.

My pen
Is always there
Then its done
And I get another one
My pen.

Nuclear Happenings

August 10, 2017

Nuclear happenings

Frightening times

Holding our breath

Letting rational minds

Take control

Taking the time

To build a better world

Where happenings

Are not just a crime.

You Don’t Know

August 8, 2017
You Don't Know ~ Photo by Patrice

 

Of course you don’t know 
The sadness, the heartache 
I shouldn’t know. 

You see the life 
That seems to glow. 

Sometimes it’s a lie 
Sometimes you see I cry 
But 
Then if course 

You don’t know.

Up In The Bustling Sky

Up in the bustling sky
A thousand clouds go flying by
Not one
Not one ever asks why.
