Frost Crunches Beneath My Feet

October 28, 2013

Frost crunches beneath my feet
Sodden leaves weep and weep
Fall has come bare bones are cold
The sun shines but no warmth
In this season’s end
I behold.

A Candle Is Lit

October 25, 2013

A candle is lit
Here in my heart
For me and those
Soon to depart.

No heartache will dismiss
My loving wish that
Together we’d stay
Forever and ever
In this precious day.

Maybe it will get better
Maybe it should
Maybe then I can
Maybe if I could.

Pressure

October 23, 2013

Pressure
Too much to measure
Dwelling in the afterbin of heartache
Feeling the pressure.

Want to release
Want it to be deceased
This pressure,

Too much pressure.

Imagine Today Is Your Last Day

October 22, 2013

Imagine
Today is your last day.

What would you say?
Where would you go?
What would you see?

Would it be beauty
Or misery?

I don’t know
Can’t see
But hope I’d make it
The best day to last me
An eternity.

Deep In A Wretched Chasm Of Despair

October 18, 2013

Deep in a wretched chasm of despair
Struggling, struggling to get out
Out of there
Fallen down a well of no repair
Intimidating, dark down there.

Feel the walls
Feel their strength
They’ll help you climb back up
Into a life of freedom
Happiness, no despair.

Don’t dwell way down
Way down there
In that chasm, that well
Filled with hell
Way down there.

Bring yourself up, out
Feel the rays spreading out
Warming, bringing joy
Happiness all about
No pain.

No heartache there about
As we bask in the warmth
Of the sun, knowing
We’ll never fall back down
into that dark chasm
We’ll never, ever fall
ever at all.
~ Patrice
