I Walk Down The Hallway

September 30, 2025
I Walk Down The Hallway ~ Photo by Patrice

I walk down the hallway
so beak, so cold
I look at the paintings
lovely and old 

I hear silent moaning
shrieking
I’m told
from souls who’ve gone
to places
dark and untold 

I feel anger, anguish
grief
sadness and heartache
from
those that were
old 

Who once
lived
in this building
now roam
the hallways, their rooms
this
I’m told 

Rooms
filled 
with new victims
soon
to become
lost souls 

Do not enter
this place
do not love, laugh nor cry
for they will hear you
and
take this life
you cherish 

You will surely die.

My Heart Does Cry

September 18, 2025
Last used Sept. 18/25

My heart does cry
my lips moan
you are lost
gone
from here
I’m
all alone

May tomorrow
bring 
love’s delights
but 
til that time
I’ll remember
all
you gave
throughout
this sad, long night.

No More

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.

I Don’t Care

I Don’t Care ~ Phoo by Patrice

I don’t care
if you’re white or black
whether you’ve seen the sacred cow
or
any of that
that
makes us different
in
thoughts and acts
we are still human beings
we are family
joined
it seems
to live life as best we can
making 
full of love for all
all
of us
humans
and
other beings.

Play The Game

Play The Game ~ Photo by Patrice

Change the game
change
the way we look
the way
we play the game 

Makes no difference
who sees 
we hold
all
the cards 

We know
the stakes
we’re going to play
to
win 

We’ll change the outcome
we’ll play
the game.

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.

The goodness in the bad
sometimes
is
hard to find 

Keep looking
for it will
be
most divine.

Let Me See

Let Me See. ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me see
what
could be 

Let me see
what
was 

In
between
I live 

Being
the best
I can 

Living, giving
all
my love.

Remembering

August 5, 2025
Remembering ~ Photo by Patrice

Crying heart, crying times
remembering
those
whose voices
sang
words of love
devotion
all
those wondrous things 

Gone now
gone from the world
gone
from
everything 

Except
my sad heart 
my wailing voice
my mind
that
remembers 

Remembers
all
remembers everything.

You Can Hear Me

July 23, 2025
 You Can Hear Me ~ Photo by Patrice

You can hear me
call
you can see me
cry 

Yet
no where
do I see you come
to
me 

Help me
thru
this that keeps me
trapped 

No, not that I’m aware 

I hope tomorrow
or
the day after that
I will feel
your embrace 

Know that you
indeed
do
care.
