On Our Own

On Our Own ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I be
that one
you need me
to be

I must move on
I must
take care of me

You are on your path
your direction plotted
going
forward on your own 

I’ll see you
I’ll think of you
once more

As we travel
our separate roads
travelling, travelling
on
our own.

Hurt, Feeling Alone

October 1, 2024
Hurt, Feeling Alone ~ Illustration by Patrice

Hurt, feeling alone
struggling to be me
to master
the method, the way
to
happiness
all that I need. 

Not to hurt
not to struggle
but
be happy, carefree. 

If only for today
that 
I would like 
that
I’d love to be.

Feeling The Sorrow

Feeling The Sorrow ~ Photo by Patrice

Feeling the sorrow
wash 
pour over me

The anger, the magnitude
of
travesty 

Knowing nowhere to go
nowhere safe
to be

Feeling feelings so deep
deep 
inside of me.

I Have Heard Your Voice ~ Photo by Wanda

I have heard your voice 
Felt your gentle soul 
Know your touch is 
What I feel 
When soft breezes blow. 

I don’t need to see you 
For I know you’re near 
Holding me close forever 
Forever, my sweet love 
My sweet dear.

Hold Me

September 25, 2024
Hold Me ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Hold me, hold me close
let me be intertwined
with your strength, your beauty
your majesty

No more
no more to need anyone
but you

Let me
feel
your generosity

Let me too
give
all I can to those
needing

Needing me
needing all
that can be given 
can be.

You Tell Me Things

September 23, 2024
You Tell Me Things ~ Watercolour Illustration by Patrice

You come to me
You tell me things
I can’t comprehend
Nor  
Understand. 

It seems those things
Those that you
Tell me
Are beyond
My knowledge, my reasoning 

Nothing
That I know of 
Or
Understand.

No One Seems To Know ~ Photo by Patrice

No one seems to know 
nor do they understand 
the way to heaven 
is always open 
That 
it’s there 
Always 
at their command.
