Not Today

March 6, 2025
Not Today ~ Photo by Patrice

Not today will I say
anything
I need to hide
from
my soul 

I will only say
what we
need to know 

In a way
that
blesses
all this world 

Who too listens
really
needs to know.

Hear The Heart Call

March 5, 2025
Hear The Heart Call ~ Illustration by Patrice

Hear the heart call
beckoning all
to feel
love in our minds, our hearts
our souls 

Let it be cherished
held close
forever
never losing what fills us
with
sweet kindness. 

Let it be
Let it be what
our heart calls.

You Don’t Know Me

March 4, 2025
You Don't Know Me ~ Protests Against Trump

You don’t know me
you’ve never seen me

But

I know you

Your heart is
evil
filled with hate
taking advantage of
the weak, the vulnerable
those looking
for
someone great

But

Unfortunately
all they get is
what’s good for you
what lines your pockets
and
those you bought
those that will participate
in your killing schemes, your lies
your hate.

You don’t know me
I wish
I didn’t know you.

Hold Me Still

Hold Me Still ~ Painting by Patrice

Hold me still
Hold me tight
Let not the anger
Destroy
All the love
We share. 

No, not tonight.

Never Can I Be

Never Can I Be ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Never
can I be
the one you think
you love

The one
you want me
to be

Never
never will I be.

No More Will You Be

February 26, 2025
No More Will You Be ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

No more
will you
be
someone special
to me. 

My feelings
will fade
my eyes won’t cry
my lips tasting 
only
bitter replies. 

My heart
though
will feel the same 
loving you
forever 

Forever My Love! 

It will exclaim.

Looking Back ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Looking back
Looking ahead 
In between 

I live 

I live without dread.

I Need The Money

February 24, 2025
I Need The Money ~ Photo by Patrice

I need the money
I need
the fame. 

That’s what I tell myself
in
the hour of vain. 

Neither will accomplish
a happy  journey
through life. 

Only create heartache 
anger
misery and strife.

Not Theirs

February 21, 2025

My heart, my thoughts and prayers
are with Ukraine and their strong heroic people
in this battle
they are courageously fighting.

RUSSIA BEGINS FULL-SCALE INVASION INTO UKRAINE, PUTIN CONFIRMS ‘MILITARY OPERATION’ UNDERWAY Posted by Ryan Saavedra | Feb 23, 2022 | Daily Wire I

My heart aches 
Seeing armies invade, taking land
Not theirs 

Hearing cries, bombs 
Flashing 
Deadly lights 

The world reels 
As despots steal countries 
Not theirs 

They don’t care
If lives are lost, hearts broken 
Life torn apart 

Seek a way to stop 
This annexation of what is
Not theirs 

Please God
Please show me 
Show me how today.

How Can I

February 20, 2025
How Can I ~ Photo by Patrice

How can I be something
I never should be?

How can I leave behind
all that has been good to me?

Where will I go?

What will I do?

No answers, only questions

I know
not
what to do.
