Why Am I Here?

February 26, 2013

Why am I here?
Questions
Questions are all I hear
Why?

Delve deep inside
Your soul modest, gentle
And even maybe
A little slow.

There in peace
You survive
Enveloped in strength
And a moral code
You can’t deny.

Stand strong
Breach the crest
Ride the tide
No one need question why
You alone are the one
To bring you
To the centred one.

Questions?
Many and a few
But for you
All you need to know
The answers live deep inside
Your magnificent soul.

That’s all
All you need to know.

Did You See The Night?

February 25, 2013

Lucy ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Did you see the night?
Did you see it as it crept
Atop of daylight
Covering each day
With darkness of the night?

Did you see the night?
Morose and sad
Bleeding sympathy to the mad
Whispering night floating through
Corridors filled with sounds
Made to scare, do beware.

Did you see the night?
As it gently held lost souls
Til daylight could unfold
Washing ‘way cold misery
Never to be told.

Yes, I have seen the night
Soft and full of promise
Stars twinkling
In bright nightlight
I did, I did see the night.

The Flow Of Life

The flow of life
Takes courses
Never imagined.

Some
Never chartered.

Pale Bodies Writhing

February 21, 2013

Pale bodies writhing
Writhing
To the rhythm of the night
Masking
Beauty in a mist of delight.

Born regal
Born of good stock
Not your average dogma
Flowing
Glowing in the dark.

Feel the rhythm
Feel
The breathless edge of cold
Cold and stark.

Masters
Of the night
Writhing
Writhing in the dark.

I feel the words
There filling
Filling up my heart.

Some Sometimes Fear

February 19, 2013

Some sometimes
Fear the best
There within
The rhyme.

I don’t know
What it’s all about
All I know I need to shout
That that’s hidden
Deep within the rhyme.

Isn’t It A Nice Idea

February 15, 2013

Isn’t it a nice idea
That we can enjoy our life free of strife and all things not so nice?
It may not be so but something to work towards.
Just a bit each day, not the whole idea at once.
Just some now, some later.

Til Walla! We have arrived. We have that which we desired.

Take
These thoughts
Put them
In the back mind
Let them reside
Come
To the front
When needed.

They will be
Your guiding way
Your saving grace
Today
All thru
Tomorrow.

Just start
To believe
Believe
This nice idea.

What A Wonderful Dream

February 14, 2013

Fall Leaves ~ photo by Patrice

 

What a wonderful dream
I had last night
You were in it all focused
Happy and beautifully bright.

We walked
A wondrous road
As it curved pass forest
Strong with might.

You laughed
And held me tight
You held me
All thru the night.

What a wonderful dream
I had last night
I dreamed a dream of you
Last night.

What I Know, What I Don’t Know

February 13, 2013

What I know, what I don’t know
What I do in spite of what the show
Playing out there, outside in the snow.
Makes no difference, makes no change
Here inside the life I play
No matter
No matter what I know or say.

Feel The Breathing

February 12, 2013

Feel the breathing
Breathless breathing
All the way down to my toes
Feel the breathing all the way
Back up to the top.

Feel the beauty
As it goes down again
Then back up to the top
Please let it continue
Please don’t let it stop.

That breathless beauty
As it rises once again
All the way from my toes
Back up, back up
To the top.
~ Patrice
