The Way The World Goes

February 8, 2018

Shiloh ~ Pencil Art by Patrice

Haven’t told my heart the way the world goes
Haven’t said the words that no one else does know
Won’t even tease the strings
That connect her to my sauntering toes
Nor let her ears, my lips know
Just how the world goes.

Ever Wonder Why?

February 1, 2018

ackal ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

Ever wonder why?
Ever think things happen
On a line
You can’t deny?

Ever wonder why
Answers come
But don’t seem to be
The ones asked
Or seen technically?

Ever wonder, wonder why?

Taking A Break

January 15, 2018

3 Rotties ~ Illustration by Patrice

Taking a break
Going to wait til I feel
My thoughts are revived.

Will think of you still
But just not writing until
I feel an inspiring thought.

My Journey Is Special

December 20, 2017

Last used July 13/20My journey is special
I am elite
No one else walks, talks
Or looks like me.

My heart skips a beat
When I look in the mirror
For there someone exceptional
Is looking at me.

No one in this world
This story or be
The exact same example
The same human being.

I am special
I am me.

Death Is Overpowering Me

December 19, 2017

Lone Dog – Art by Patrice

Death is overpowering me
Coming, telling me
What to do, where to go
Where to be.

Death is walking beside me
Holding gently, telling me
Souls who go don’t leave
They too, are alongside me.

Death is breathing life inside me
My time will come but not now
Go live a life full of love
Fun and beauty.

This death tells me.

Watching

November 23, 2017

Face Study ~ Illustration by Patrice

Watching
Things happen at a
Happening
No one knows the road to go
Following
Down a path
Filled
With all sorts of things
Waiting
For the sun to show
Rising
Filled with glamour unsurpassed by
Anything
Yes, I’m watching

Everything.

Gentle And Kind

October 17, 2017

Diva & Lise Painting ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Gentle and kind
My soul holds my mind
Caressing softly.

Gentle and kind
I hear the words I need
So divine.

Gentle and kind
My soul is
My nurturing wine.

Starting Points in Math ~ Illustration by Patrice for publisher, Ginn & Company

Read a sentence
Write a word
Hold the past
Create the unheard
See the future
Make it real
Now in the present
Feel, feel.

When You See Myself

Happy Convict ~ illustration by Patrice

When you see myself
You see someone else
Not the one I want to be
But the one I let you see.

Therefore
I will try to appear to be
The person who’s good for you
And most of all the best of me.
