Something’s Coming, Something New

August 27, 2025
Something's Coming, Something New ~ Art by Patrice

Something’s coming
something
new and exciting
for
you
from me 

Working out the kinks
I’m working
feverishly 

To bring
you
something new 

Something 
just
for you 

With 
love
from me.

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.

When I Hear Your Heart Beat ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

When I hear your heart beat 
I know you are near 
embracing
me 
comforting
 supporting
me 

When I hear your heart beat.

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.

You Hear Me Call

August 19, 2025
You Hear Me Call

You hear me
call
you see me be
but yet
together
we’ll never
be 

Our heart’s love
won’t last
hands will shake
forsake
all that
could have been
but
didn’t last 

Please hear 
in
your heart
my voice saying
Adieu
we must
go
our separate ways
be
forever
forever apart.

Where Do Hummingbirds Fly

Where Do Hummingbirds Fly ~ Photo by Patrice

Where do hummingbirds
fly
when they fly away? 

Where do they
stay
drink all day? 

Who do they know
to
sleep secure? 

Do you
know
know for sure?

Hold Them Close ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Hold them close 
and 
very tight 

Feel your breath
breathe love
in the morning light 

Let no soul travel 
the path taken 
all alone 

No, never 
never alone. 
~ Patrice

How Can You See

How Can You See ~ Photo by Patrice

How can you
see
what’s near
dear
to me? 

Standing
way off
talking to someone
that’s not
me 

How can you
how can you
see?

Couldn’t Be

August 13, 2025
Couldn't Be ~ Painting by Patrice

You
couldn’t be
what I needed
you
to be 

No
you were not 

But
was I what
you craved
asked me
to be? 

I think not 

Because
I
too
couldn’t be.

Falling Down

August 12, 2025
Falling Down ~ Photo by Patrice

I saw
you
falling down 
I saw
rocks slip
crashing
all around 

No sound
could
I hear
no breath intake
no cries
for
God’s sake 

Only
falling
falling down.
