Hear me now
hear
my soul moan and cry
cause you’re gone
but
you didn’t die
No
you are here
you
are there
and
it makes me sad
makes
me cry
Cause you’re not
with me
even though
I can’t deny
you
had good reason
I said things
that
weren’t nice
I said words
that made you
cry.

I see
see who, what
you are.
I see
see what you think
I should be.
But
I don’t see
see you
holding, embracing
loving me.

Taste the scent of life
Seeking to live in a chaotic world
With no stress nor strife
A feat some think unsurmountable
But possible if you taste
That scent that brings
All possibilities to life.

I sit here
wondering
delving deep inside
to
feel words
I need
to give and convey
love
gentleness
to all
that live in this
crazy
crazy world
today.

Holding on, gripping tight
wondering what could
come to be
Today, tonight?
I see
the course
I see the path
but what
is
expected of me
Today, tonight?

You haven’t been
Completely honest
With me, you or anybody
Always telling half truths
Bald faced lies
The question is
Why, why?
Nothing gained by your actions
All lost in the aftermath
Of your lies
Your sordid lies
Lies.
Will I tomorrow see
A new you as you say
The one to tell the truth
Or
Is it just another lie
One of your many, many
Lies.

No more can I see
you beside me
gone are the days
we played, we laughed
we laughed
til
we cried.
Now the sound
is
silence
the mood sodden
with anger.
No more can I see
your heart
open
open to loving, caring
about me.

Follow me, follow you
We two
will climb to the sky
our hearts full
nothing
we desire will be denied.
In between we’ll live
not exist
but
really live
shedding all that doesn’t make
our hearts pound
our souls rise.
This we’ll do
you’ll follow me
I’ll follow you.

Bags of love
come falling in
filling
up my heart
all the way
to
my chin.
Love spilling out
spreading
through the world
everywhere
all about.
Give me more
make it much
loving
caring
you can’t have
too much.
~ Patrice

Where I’ve been
what I’ve seen
is
nothing
compared to you.
It does not
raise the temperature
it doesn’t make
the news.
But it’s
where I’ve been
it’s
what I’ve seen
it’s everything.
Everything
that makes me
me
not you.
