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.

Understand

Understand ~ Photo by Patrice

Do I know
or
understand 

The way the world turns
as if
on elastic bands 

So simple to think of
so hard
to
understand 

That maybe
everything turns in a way
that’s
too simple 

Too simple
to 
understand.

Cry

Hear me now
hear
my soul moan and cry 
cause you’re gone
but
you didn’t die 

No 
you are here
you
are there 
and
it makes me sad
makes
me cry

Cause you’re not
with me 
even though 
I can’t deny
you
had good reason 

I said things
that
weren’t nice
I said words
that made you
cry.

No More Can I See

No More Can I See ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I see
you beside me
gone are the days
we played, we laughed
we laughed
til
we cried. 

Now the sound
is
silence
the mood sodden
with anger. 

No more can I see
your heart
open
open to loving, caring
about me.

Courteous Be

Courteous be
let no one
antagonize thee 

Forward go, looking back
only
to stow memories
there 

To
remember
in
the morning light 

Or
when alone
in
the darkest night

Plod ahead 
stay
your way

Always courteous
if you can
if
you may.

Holy be excited
I see the world
Turn 

Giving answers
To
Questions 

That were
To me 
Such a concern.

Sometimes

Sometimes

Sometimes you want
someone
to notice, to see 
to
celebrate you.

Sometimes

Sometimes you don’t care

But

Sometimes

Sometimes you do.

Slowly I Head For The Open Gate

Slowly I Head For The Open Gate ~ Photo by Patrice

Slowly
I head for the open gate
the door is
open
I must not wait. 

Time will come
I’ll be gone
then 
someone else
will guide you thru
that
open gate. 

Safe, secure
you will follow me
into
what becomes 
our true destiny.

Away

Away ~ Photo by Patrice

I cannot
understand
where the sadness
came from
and
where it hides away.

To
creep out, to consume
when happiness
fades
goes away.

On Our Own

October 3, 2024
On Our Own ~ Photo by Patrice

No more can I be
that one
you need me
to be

I must move on
I must
take care of me

You are on your path
your direction plotted
going
forward on your own 

I’ll see you
I’ll think of you
once more

As we travel
our separate roads
travelling, travelling
on
our own.
