Don’t Tell Me

September 29, 2022
Don't tell me ~ Illustration by Patrice

Don’t tell me 
I must be the same
same as you, not me.

Don’t tell me
my beating heart
doesn’t count.

Don’t tell me 
my thoughts are just lies.

Don’t tell me 
the tears I weep will never
bring back ones lost.

Don’t tell me this
I ask of you
I plead, I cry.

I Don’t Care

I Don't Care - Photo 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.

Seek Then You Shall Find

Seek Then You Shall Find ~ Photo by Patrice

Seek
Then you shall find 
Hidden treasures 
Most divine. 

Where
Did they come from 
When
Did they arrive? 

Is the secret 
The answer
You need to answer 
To surmise.

The Essence Of Me

September 7, 2022
Essence of Me ~ illustration by Patrice

No one can 
or
will be 
the essence of me. 

Me, alone 
is the only one 
I am. 

Pure with faults 
that’s who 
who I am, I can
will be.

You Haven't Been The One ~ Illustration by Patrice for the Educational Publisher, Ginn and Company

I know 
you haven’t been
the one
to make a difference
in my life.

That can only be
has to be
my purpose
my only purpose
forever, ever be.

When I Hear Your Heart Beat

When I Hear Your Heart Beat ~ Watercolour by Patrice

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

When I hear your heart beat.

Hear The Bells Ring

Hear The Bells Ring ~ Photo by Patrice

Hear the bells ring 
Some birds sing
While chimes announce
The coming of daylight
In the early morning spring. 

All is right
All will be as nature
Deems it to be
Far into the quiet darkness
Of night’s fading light.

Heaven Helps

Heaven helps
heaven waits to save 
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.

Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

Tortured And Sad

Tortured And Sad ~ Illustration by Patrice

Tortured and sad 
struggle to understand 
the world in my world 
beyond the bad. 

See the goodness 
believe and be glad 
for tomorrow 
may be better 
nothing 
tortured nor sad.

Already heard
the answer 

Made my decision 
right or wrong 

Will believe 
in
that answer 

Made clear
and
so profound.
