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.

The world I’ll live in

Feelings I’ll feel?

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.

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.
~ Patrice

Let me be free
Free to accept life as it should be
Free to be the one I want to be
Free
Free to be me.
