Darkness Falls

Darkness falls
Covering all
That morning bright
Brought into
The glaring light.

Softness
Peaceful resting quest
Awaiting, waiting for
It to start all over
After a night time rest.

I Look Her In The Eyes

I look her in the eyes
And see a girl
As pleasant
As pleasant be.

Never knowing
She would grow up
To be me.

Black and white
You surely see
There in a land
Of cold deep freeze.

Heartache Joyous Flowing Down

January 23, 2013

Heartache joyous flowing down
Releasing sadness all around.

Making love a thing of the past
Making sorrow ever last.

Melancholy thoughts abound
Swirling, twirling, I hear the sound.

Make me happy, make me see
This hardship is not my destiny.

I’ve Been Thinking

January 11, 2013

I’ve been thinking.

Maybe I should put some of my poems into a book.
Since this would be my first attempt at such a thing, I need some help from all of you who have been so loyal to this blog of mine. That help could come in the form of letting me know your preference of my work. Which poems you like, what affirmations…
So take a look and let me know what your thoughts are.

I will be taking a brief break but will be online checking for your favourites and opinions. Thanks and waiting to hear!

Thrilled With Life

January 9, 2013

Time to Roar ~ illustration by Patrice

 

 

 

 

 

Thrilled with life
And filled with vigour
That’s what should be
My infinite call.

When muse is not enough
And action can be in
The neighbourhood of overload
Tread that narrow line.

Neither slip nor fall
Walk one step closer
To the ecstasy of life
Lived on the edge of it all.
~ Patrice

We are here. Are we not?
Full of fear? I hope not.
Full of love? How profound.
Working Hard? Hear the sound.
You and I, we are here.

Look around.

The Answer Came To Me

January 4, 2013

The answer came to me
Not in a flash of light
Nor as a wave crashing in the night
That those past lives lived
Come to us in a way
So simple and so straight away
They come in our DNA.

We remember things gone by
And don’t know why
But the reason is
They are in our DNA.

Such as when you think
You’ve been here before
Think again
For you have been
It’s all written in your DNA.

They tell us what we need
What will make us pleased
It’s all there in our DNA.

When you think you’ve been
In this situation once again
It’s most likely true
The blueprints shows us
Thru and thru all that’s written
There in our DNA.

Why we laugh and grin
Why we cry and don’t know why
The answer is in no other place
It’s our saving grace
There within for eons been
Hidden in our DNA.
