Normal

October 25, 2018

Face Study ~ illustration by Patrice

Times are tough, people rough
Struggle to maintain
A sense of normal.

A kind of place where grace
Is the highest trait
That we take and try to make it
Seem so normal.

They’ll play another tune.

I Break My Heart

September 4, 2018

Henry ~ Pen and Ink Art by Patrice

I break my heart, injure my soul
Sacrifice my love
Feeling remorse forever more.

Nothing
Will bind the pieces together
Must take it out of mind.

Feel
The injuries, the heartache, the crying
Then leave them all far behind.

I Sit Here In My Splendour

August 27, 2018

Study of hands and paint brushes ~ illustration by Patrice for New Chalice Brushes

I sit here in my splendour
Wondering where do I begin
It isn’t any other
It’s me
And I have to contend
With the matter, the matter
I laughed about
Now it’s everything
Everything I hold within.

Me at art table ~ Illustration by Patrice

There across the table

Opportunity

Stands

Smiling sweetly

He beckons

He commands

He shows me.

When The Time Is Right

July 20, 2018

Tiger ~ illustration by Patrice

When the time is right and my heart is not cold
When I see things clear from stories told
When madness isn’t a partner in that yet to unfold
When I can stroll thru sadness unscathed and bold.

Then is when my journeys mine
And I’ll hold no grief for that which is not or won’t be kind.

Going Forward, Going Forth

May 28, 2018

Safe and Strong ~ Illustration by Patrice

Going forward, going forth
Into the distance
Going with the force.

No one is left behind
No one is forgotten
All are with us now.

All will be in heaven
None forsaken
None overlooked or not taken.

Picky Partners

May 17, 2018

Mal pups ~ Illustration by PatricePicky partners don’t always last
Sometimes they bicker and fight
It goes on and on
For whatever reason it just
Lasts and lasts.

Picky partners need to let up
Knowing being together
Happily
Is what needs to
Forever last.

Wondering Once Again

Wondering 

Once again. 

Wondering 

What is best? 

Wondering 

If I’ll make the right decision. 

Wondering 

Will it affect the rest? 

Wondering 

What will come to be? 

Wondering 

What will happen to me? 

– No answers come but still –

Still I’m wondering. 

Wondering 

Just the same.
