Pure And True

October 1, 2025
Pure And True ~ Watercolour by Patrice

You hold me close
I feel you do
your heart
beats
pure and true 

Together
we can conquer
the universe 

I know we can
I know
we will 

For our hearts
beat
pure and true.

Maybe Tomorrow

Maybe Tomorrow ~ Pen & Ink Drawing by Patrice

Maybe tomorrow 
Maybe
Another day
Maybe it’ll feel like forever
In the way you feel
Today. 

But 

Your end will come
In a moment
Or
It may have come
Yesterday. 

Your purpose, your mission
Is
To live each moment
Each day 
With joy and happiness. 

So
When you close your eyes
For forever
You’ll smile
And
You’ll say 

“That was fun 
That was, a good day!”

No More

September 17, 2025
No More ~ Photo by Patrice

No more will I be
the one
who saves you
always full of courtesy 

No more will I be
the one
who laughs 
dances to a silly song
no more 

No more will I be
the one
who helps you up
cradles a ailing, sickly little pup
no 
no more 

No more
will I be that one 

For you see
you have come to me
you have made
me see
I don’t need to do
all that 

Cause it’s you
now 
doing all this
for me.

My Heart Bleeds

September 16, 2025
My Heart Bleeds ~ Photos by Patrice

My heart bleeds
my eyes
do cry
everything in between
is
start to live
end with
die. 

No words will hold you up
no words
take you down
only your mind
can
conquer
what keeps you
constrained
what keeps you bound. 

Freedom is yours
freedom
in
life
start to live
is
my advice.

You

You ~ Photo by Patrice

 You have me
you
hold and care for me
I live to be
close
near to you 

You are my everything
you
make me whole
you make me come
alive 

I can’t see a world
a time
without you
by
my side.

Regrets In My Life

August 26, 2025
Regrets In My Life ~ Photo by Patrice

There have been
regrets
in
my life
things
I’d rather
not
dwell on 

Live twice 

To find
joy
in those times
is
hard to accept 
hard
to find 

This is why
I acknowledge
they
happened
maybe cry
then
let them go 

But did they
help me change
help me
grow? 

You know
I just don’t
know.

Where Do Hummingbirds Fly

Where Do Hummingbirds Fly ~ Photo by Patrice

Where do hummingbirds
fly
when they fly away? 

Where do they
stay
drink all day? 

Who do they know
to
sleep secure? 

Do you
know
know for sure?

How Can You See

How Can You See ~ Photo by Patrice

How can you
see
what’s near
dear
to me? 

Standing
way off
talking to someone
that’s not
me 

How can you
how can you
see?

Falling Down

August 12, 2025
Falling Down ~ Photo by Patrice

I saw
you
falling down 
I saw
rocks slip
crashing
all around 

No sound
could
I hear
no breath intake
no cries
for
God’s sake 

Only
falling
falling down.

Made my decision

Will believe

Made clear

so profound.
