Needs To Be Said

January 2, 2025
Needs To Be Said ~ Photo by Patrice

I write 
I say the words that
I believe 
needs to be said.

I love the people of the world  
only wish
they would not
be so intent on living
not thinking
how destructive
each footstep we take
can kill, eliminate
destroy living souls
who’ve done nothing
nothing but try to be
to live.

Take care to tread lightly
as you can
and
together we’ll make
the world a wondrous place
where we live
in
blissful harmony.

That’s all, that’s it
I’ve said
I believe 
what
needs to be said.

I Paint

December 18, 2024
Patrice's Art & Affirmation 2025 Calendar

I paint
my calendar
I paint all night
I paint
till the morning light.

I know
my subject feels
the brush strokes caressing them
this beloved pet
I paint
today
and
most of tonight.

I Think

December 17, 2024
I Think ~ Photo by us

Nobody does
what
I think
they should do 

Nor
do they say things
I think
could be true 

Doesn’t matter what
I think 

Cause
people say and do
whatever they want 

What
their heart tells them
they should say 

They think
they should do.

Heartfelt Feelings

Heartfelt Feelings ~ Photo by Patrice

Heartfelt feelings
coming thru 
even though I don’t know
where
they came from
or
where
they’re going to.

A World Most Divine

December 13, 2024

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

A World Most Divine - Photo by Patrice

I seek to find 
the world 
in a place divine 

No hatred 
killing 
ever creeping slime 

Caring places all 
on the pedestal of sincere 
and right 

Full of joy 
laughter 
cuddling thru the night 

This is where I want to be 
this is how 
all things should turn 

A place I’ll seek, I’ll look 
I’ll find 
in a world most divine.

No One Does

December 2, 2024
No One Does - Photo by Patrice

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.

Can You?

November 27, 2024
Can You? ~ Selfie

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.

Here Wondering

Here Wondering ~ Photo by Patrice

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.

Today, Tonight

November 18, 2024
Holding On, Gripping Tight ~ Unknown Photographer

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?

Everything

November 11, 2024
Everything ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

Where I’ve been
what I’ve seen
is
nothing
compared to you. 

It does not
raise the temperature
it doesn’t make
the news. 

But it’s
where I’ve been
it’s
what I’ve seen
it’s everything. 

Everything
that makes me 
me
not you.
