My Heart Writes

April 13, 2016

My heart writes another story
Storing it in the middle of eternity
Not to be beholden to anybody
Just out there living, living the story.

Green is green is showing thru
Leaves are leaving snow white melting too

Destined To Travel

April 11, 2016

Destined to travel a winding road
Occasionally rough, sometimes cold.

Staying to the path can be hard
Any presence must be bold.

Looking at that what lives on my path
My feet move to the left, then to the right.

Forward, backward, all is and seems right
As my destiny travels the road to the light.
~ Patrice

Sadness Is Something

April 7, 2016

Sadness is something
Sometimes, I want to be immersed in
Crying, silently
No joy to share
Not a drop, empty, hollow
I just can’t stop the affair.

Sadness does live with me
I allow her in
She stays with me
I don’t love her much
But still she’s been a comfort
Living here, amid my lonely thoughts.

Sadness, she pulls me in
Holding, engulfing me
In a place that’s sad
So lonely
Crying, lying deep within
Becoming such a tragic sin.
~ Patrice

Searching For Something New

April 6, 2016

Searching for something new
Searching amongst
The breathe of that
That I once knew.

Grasping, holding close
Memories I loved
See them fall away
Replacing now all that yesterday.

Searching for
New memories untold
Searching for a new life
A new mould.

Searching, searching
But no one knows
Nor will they let it be
As of yet, let it be told.
~ Patrice

When

April 4, 2016

Ice Storm ~ 2016 Photo by Patrice

When all the world whirls round
When a stranger stops and bends to the ground
When the heart feels compassion for those lost, wandering around
When no one knows hunger, anger or bad attitude
When we see magnificence in this body called me
That’s
When we’ll be living heaven on earth

Heaven on earth is where we all should be.
~ Patrice

Tenderness Is

April 1, 2016

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Tenderness is such a wondrous thing
It brings us close and it brings us things
Best of all it brings us love.
Tenderness is a wondrous thing.
~ Patrice
