Sitting still
I hear
your voice
My heart
skips
a beat
my mind rejoices
You are near
you
are here
Nothing else matters
I love you
so
much
Oh
my sweet dear.

When I Hear Your Call
March 6, 2026
Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog
When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet.
When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry.
Now again
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes.
My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.

I Hold You Close
February 25, 2026
I hold you
close
I feel your
breath.
I take a chance.
I move
closer
to
your heart
to hear it
beat.
Your arms envelope me.
What could be better?
What else do I need?
Questions
Answers
Don’t need them
when
I’m beside my love
the one
I cherish
the one I need.

Tenderly Be

Tenderly be
the one I need
No questions
asked
No what if I fail
just be
Tenderly
Tenderly be.

Makes No Sense
November 19, 2025
I know it
shouldn’t hurt like this
I know it shouldn’t
be
Still
deep in my soul
my anger festers, rages
because of all
I see
Why does one hurt
another?
Why kill or maim
a living creature
or
another
human being?
Makes no sense
no sense
to me.

You Told Me
November 6, 2025
You told me
told me
how it was
going to be
You told me
told me
but
I just couldn’t see.

You Can Be

You can be
somebody
You
can be
everything
All you have to do
is
believe.

You call me
I hear
my name
my heart smiles
For all is right
we’re together
again.

Waiting To Tell
June 26, 2025
Here I am
waiting
for the right place
and
time
to tell all
you need to know
to
get through
just
another day
I won’t say
anything nasty
I won’t get in the fray
but
I will tell you
you need
to
be happy
even if
no one else
can see your smile
smile anyway.

No Matter What
August 2, 2024
No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.
