Heard A Robin

Heard A Robin ~ Photo by Patrice

Heard a robin
today

It’s song played
happily
in
my head 

For now
I know
what lies ahead 

Spring, summer
then
late fall 

All in order

That’s
what I hear
when
the robin calls.

My Heart Aches

March 14, 2025

My Heart Aches ~ Photo from the Past

My heart aches
my soul cries 
for a time
of clear innocence 
a time that time
has taken 
to the past 

No more to feel 
to bask
in rays of light
hearted laughs 

Sadness overwhelms 
hurt
seems to last 
til no more tears left 
to sob
crying for the now
distance past.

We Were Happy

March 13, 2025
We Were Happy ~ Photo by Patrice

Remember when? 

We were happy 

The world turned
the sun shone 

We were happy 

No matter what
was said
in jest or a little angry
things could be worked out 

We were happy 

Now it seems
the world stands still
in
disbelief 

The sun shines elsewhere
hiding 

And
us? 

We’re not happy.

I Hear Your Call

I Hear Your Call ~ Photo by Patrice

I hear your call
I see you coming near
I know that
I need you
more than ever
forever 
my dear. 

Take me in your arms
hold me so sweet
then
begin to tell me 
all the things
you love of me. 

Please 
please, do not be discreet.

You

March 11, 2025
You ~ Photo by Patrice

You won’t hold me tight
you’ll leave me
in the middle
of
the night
your heart is cold
your eyes filled
with anger 

I’ll see you leave
I’ll see you go
I won’t cry or say a word
our love is over
we’ll move on, retrieve our lives
our emotions too 
no more hurt 
from
the likes of you.

No Choice

March 10, 2025
No Choice ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

You can hear me
calling
you can see
my face
you turn your back on me
you give me
no choice.

I will go where
I need to
I will strive to succeed
to be the one
I need to
without your help 
cause you see

I have
no choice.

Each Morning

Each Morning ~ Self Portrait by Patrice

Each morning
I create 
Patrice 

Each morning
I make her come alive 

Each night she sleeps
but
does not die 

Each day 
I appreciate she lives 
she is alive.

Not Today

March 6, 2025
Not Today ~ Photo by Patrice

Not today will I say
anything
I need to hide
from
my soul 

I will only say
what we
need to know 

In a way
that
blesses
all this world 

Who too listens
really
needs to know.

Hear The Heart Call

March 5, 2025
Hear The Heart Call ~ Illustration by Patrice

Hear the heart call
beckoning all
to feel
love in our minds, our hearts
our souls 

Let it be cherished
held close
forever
never losing what fills us
with
sweet kindness. 

Let it be
Let it be what
our heart calls.

You Don’t Know Me

March 4, 2025
You Don't Know Me ~ Protests Against Trump

You don’t know me
you’ve never seen me

But

I know you

Your heart is
evil
filled with hate
taking advantage of
the weak, the vulnerable
those looking
for
someone great

But

Unfortunately
all they get is
what’s good for you
what lines your pockets
and
those you bought
those that will participate
in your killing schemes, your lies
your hate.

You don’t know me
I wish
I didn’t know you.
