See me
I am here.

See me
I must not fear
You see.

See me
In all I be
See me.

Looking

August 30, 2017

Great Danes from Purina's Hall of Fame ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Looking up to the sky
Looking for the answer
The reason why
The solid earth beneath my feet
Radiates love
Leaving no room
For defeat.

My mouth says words
Needed to be said
My hands hold
Thankfulness for all I see
And for the ground
On which I tread
Here, alongside thee.

Decisions

August 23, 2017

Making decisions
Some I don’t like
Making them in darkness
And board daylight.

Answering all questions
That’ll make things right
Make people believe in me
Today, tonight.

I don’t have all answers
Still decisions
Decisions will be made
By tonight.

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.

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.

Would you strive for tomorrow
If you were content in today?

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.

Sounds Of The Earth Turning

August 1, 2017

Wild Horses ~ Scratchboard Illustration by Patrice

Sounds of the earth turning
Turning round
No disconnect, no what the heck
Just moving, slowly moving
Going round.

Fingers Move Across The Page

July 21, 2017

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Fingers move across the page
Feeling emotions that do rage
Calming down anxious stress
With each word that is expressed.

Yes, fingers make anguish
Dissipate
As they move across
Caressing a waiting page.

The Heart Is A Treasure

July 10, 2017

Saluki ~ Watercolour by Patrice

The heart is a treasure
Hopefully, never to be seen
It guides, beats life in a body
Where she is queen.

The mind may be king
But the heart, she is queen
Without her
The mind can’t do anything.

Giving life, birthing life
Holding life in between
No one lives a life without a heart
Hopefully, never to be seen.
~ Patrice
