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.

Has Been Your Choice

February 13, 2025
Has Been Your Choice ~ Photo by Patrice

I hear you calling
I see your face
yet
I don’t understand
all you’ve done
what
has been your choice. 

If I answer
if
I smile to your face
does that mean
I’m part of
complicit with
what you’ve done
what
has been your choice?

Slowly, Cautiously I Proceed

January 29, 2025
Slowly, Cautiously I Proceed ~ Photo by Patrice

Slowly, cautiously
I proceed
thru life
seeking to find
a place
divine

Where I can live
be myself
not destroying another
or
being blind
to the hurts of others

Slowly, cautiously
I proceed
I’m on my way
following this path
throughout
the minute, the hour
the day.

All You Want

All You Want ~ Photos by Patrice

You can have
all you want
everything you need
to be
that one
you were meant
to be. 

But
only, only
if
you believe
in
kindness 
love and sanctity.

Riley Passed Away Yesterday

Riley Passed Away Yesterday ~ photo by Patrice

Riley passed away 
yesterday 
his beating heart stopped 
his breath ceased to be 
only memories 
memories that is all we have 
you see. 

A gentle, kind, wondrous guy 
knowing, knowledgeable 
a smile on his face 
devoted beyond belief 
this was Riley 
who now has been. 

He passed away, passed away 
yesterday 
rest in peace sweet Riley 
you were loved and loved 
unconditionally. 
~ Patrice  

~ My deepest condolences to his family and all that loved him ~

No More

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

Sorry
to hear
so sorry to feel
aggression
from
the south 

A friend I thought
but
no more 

We had one another’s back
we smiled and shared
but now
that’s gone
that’s
no more 

It’s aggression 
belittle 
steal
and
more 

A friendship
gone bad 
is
not a friendship
I need
any more.

You Can, Can You

January 7, 2025
You Can, Can You ~ Photo by Patrice

You can hear me
you can see me
but
can you feel
my heart beating? 

Can you
be alongside me
and
know what I’m thinking?

Can you?

Can you do
all these things
can you?

I’m just asking.

No More Will I Be

January 6, 2025
No More Will I Be ~ Watercolour by Patrice

No more 

Will I be
that one who stands back
quietly 

No, not me 

I will show who I am
who I want to
who 
I’m going to be 

Cause you see
if I don’t
no one will know me 

I won’t be. 
~ Patrice
