No one does
the same as me
no one holds in their hearts
the vision, the hope
the same
as
me
We may be
all together
we may be travelling
on
similar journeys
But
no one does
whether hard or easy
the same path
the same
as
me.

Feel the feeling
see it begin to grow
to prosper
be everything you want
all that you need
to know.
I’ve been there
I felt that feeling
and then
it was gone
where
I don’t really know.
So feel it
let it prosper
let it grow
til it envelopes you
making it all
you need
never ever letting it go

Can you be
someone I can count on
can you be?
My heart says
I hope so
but
can you?
Can you sacrifice
everything
for me?
Take what matters
make it be
all that I need
to become the person
I want to
that one
I need to be.
This I’m asking you
can you?
You that live
in my head, my heart
that one
that has always been
me.

I see
see who, what
you are.
I see
see what you think
I should be.
But
I don’t see
see you
holding, embracing
loving me.

Taste the scent of life
Seeking to live in a chaotic world
With no stress nor strife
A feat some think unsurmountable
But possible if you taste
That scent that brings
All possibilities to life.

I sit here
wondering
delving deep inside
to
feel words
I need
to give and convey
love
gentleness
to all
that live in this
crazy
crazy world
today.
~ Patrice

Holding on, gripping tight
wondering what could
come to be
Today, tonight?
I see
the course
I see the path
but what
is
expected of me
Today, tonight?

You haven’t been
Completely honest
With me, you or anybody
Always telling half truths
Bald faced lies
The question is
Why, why?
Nothing gained by your actions
All lost in the aftermath
Of your lies
Your sordid lies
Lies.
Will I tomorrow see
A new you as you say
The one to tell the truth
Or
Is it just another lie
One of your many, many
Lies.

No more can I see
you beside me
gone are the days
we played, we laughed
we laughed
til
we cried.
Now the sound
is
silence
the mood sodden
with anger.
No more can I see
your heart
open
open to loving, caring
about me.

Follow me, follow you
We two
will climb to the sky
our hearts full
nothing
we desire will be denied.
In between we’ll live
not exist
but
really live
shedding all that doesn’t make
our hearts pound
our souls rise.
This we’ll do
you’ll follow me
I’ll follow you.
