Dobie pup ~ Drawing by Patrice

When I hear your heart 
Go 
Tic toc, tic toc 

I’ll send you love 
I’ll forget you not.

No More Can I See

September 19, 2023
No More Can I See ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I see
The difference in the land, the sea

It seems to me
They are all the same
Same as you, as me.

Flowing, growing
Living life as best
They can.

Just like you, just like me.

No One Told Me

September 13, 2023
No One Told Me ~ Cartoon by Patrice

No one told me
what I’d see

No one held me
giving security

No one showed me
told me
what life could really be

Only life itself
gave
that opportunity.

No Lie

September 6, 2023
No Lie ~ Illustration by Patrice

Nobody calls
No one  is here with me
That is what it is
No lie. 

Deep down inside
I feel the heartache subside
No tears, no cries
Only the smile on my face
Lies. 

To the world I’m okay
I feel loved
I feel treasured
But
I lie.  

Inside
Inside I know
Know it is
Is a lie.

So Long Ago

So Long Ago ~ Watercolour by Patrice

So long ago
I wrote my lines of love for you
So long ago
I lived my life for you
So long ago
I found I didn’t know you
So long ago
I left, left before you left me too
So long ago, so long ago
I loved you.

Hold Me Close

July 12, 2023
Hold Me Close ~ Watercolour Illustration by Patrice

Hold me close
Don’t let me be
Sacrificed
To the dragons of eternity.

Let me see
Beauty, harmony
In the world all around
Surrounding me. 

Cherish, nurture those that grow
In the shadow of greatness 
Growing as they must
All alone. 

But
Lovingly supported 
By me, by us that hold them
Forever close.

No One Will Be

July 6, 2023
No One Will Be ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

No one will be 
No one can be
In the same time, place
Ever
Ever as me.

It may be tomorrow
Or
The day after that
I’ll be in heaven
Smiling down
On all this, all that.

Where I’ll be wondering
Why I cared
If no one
was in the same time, place 
As me.

Like today 
I’ll be  wondering
Just wondering all this
And
Of course, all that.

What’s Right

July 5, 2023
What's Right ~ Illustration by Patrice for Holt, Rinehart and Winston's reader, 'Flights Near And Far'

Working on what’s right
On
What to say
When everything comes to light
When all see
What completes the day. 

Then
I’ll have the words
That’s when I’ll know
What to say. 

This is what I tell myself
Worried, I’m lying
Worried
 I don’t really know
What’s right
Or
What I need to say.

Heaven Sees, Heaven Knows

June 27, 2023
Heaven Sees, Heaven Knows ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Heaven sees, heaven knows
All the happenings
We need not
Disclose
Our trials, our tribulations
All our triumphs  
For 
She knows.

Tomorrow
Heaven will know, will see 
Cause
She lives
Lives within us all 
Inside of you, inside of me.

Don’t Let Me Be

June 22, 2023
Don't Let Me Be ~ Painting by Patrice

Don’t let me be
The one who cries
Incessantly. 

Don’t let me be
The one who mistakes
Happiness
For something else
Something, I don’t want to be. 

Don’t let me be
All alone
In the midst of splendour
Please, don’t let me
Don’t let me be. 
~ Patrice
