Art prints
Where has all the colour gone?
A flower picked too soon
I was younger once
But I didn’t know that then
Left dreaming, heart beating
Fresh cut flowers on the windowsill
Sun streams in, the room is set
Only, we are pacing the aisles of the megastore
Searching for happiness stacked on a shelf
A Contemporary Abstract Art Print by Australian Poet & Artist Camille Delaquise
Nothing exists in isolation.
Created by Melbourne-based Australian poet and multidisciplinary artist Camille Delaquise, Everything Is Connected is a contemporary abstract art print exploring interdependence, pattern, and unseen structure.
This piece reflects Camille’s belief that life is relational — that meaning is formed through connection, not separation.
Minimalist yet conceptually layered, it brings intellectual depth and visual calm into modern interiors.

Some works whisper.
Some demand attention.
Simple Things does neither. It rests.
Created by Melbourne-based Australian poet and artist Camille Delaquise, Simple Things is a contemporary art print that meditates on restraint, presence, and the quiet architecture of meaning. In this work, Camille distills emotion into clean lines and understated expression, reflecting her belief that depth is often found in the everyday — that simplicity carries its own profound weight. Ideal for bedrooms, studios, or reading nooks, the piece brings a calm, grounding presence to a space, inviting reflection, intention, and a slower way of seeing.
Designed for modern interiors, minimalist homes, and thoughtful spaces, this piece blends abstract composition with poetic sensibility — offering calm rather than clutter.

When the day is grey
Take heart that
The rain will come
And the garden will grow
It has always been this way
Since the beginning of time
That these times will pass
So new seeds will sprout
Stronger and more resilient
There is peace in this knowing
That these times of turmoil
Can make tomorrow a brighter day
If you will stay
~ Camille
Blossoming again
Some wish for continuous sunshine
I just want some shade
Both whisper the allure of escape
You don’t feel broken in a new dress
What would you say if you knew?
What would you say
if these were the last
words to pass between
the last moments to share
before everything changed
take these moments with care
for there are things
that we cannot know
precious moments pass quickly
into the memories
of either regrets
or cherished times,
so take the time
bite the tongue
embrace the heart
leave it on a note
that will play
sweetly for many
years to come
for you may not
know this will be…
the end
Just A Dreamer
Today I made a mistake
Tomorrow I will learn a lesson
Yesterday I had a dream
My travelling tales
My smile lines
My tear stained cheeks
Failed to be fortunate
Fortunate to have failed
Fostering formidable foundations
Lost Potential
It was always you
hidden in the corners
patiently waiting
Business always came first so you were relegated to dusty desk drawers
Visiting at dawn and dusk,
when the mind has time to wonder
How much sweeter life would be
if you were the nectar
instead of the broken promise
Every day is made better
when allowed to roam free
Camille Barr
What if?
Life could be
Peaceful
The road not yet taken
The formula gone
Creating beauty
From a seed
Watching it grow
Leaving only what life needs
Nothing more
What if?
Hope conquered fear
And joy was for all
A better world, for sure
Moving past what has had its day
No perfection, please
Just free
My wondrous muse
My wonderful world
You seem distant this time
I scribble in vain
But you do not appear
I feel lost to you
Or perhaps you are to me?
I am pacified with dribble
Distracted by nonsense
I rush to your side
You are gone when I arrive
In this fleeting time
I grapple to find a space
Just one poetic verse
I feel it should be said
I feel it should be done
I feel until I am numb
The words escape again
As despair becomes my companion
Together we march in monotony
I can only be in one place at a time
Still I get caught up in a dream
Behind the facade
Oceans swell as lifestyle sells
The bare and barren truth lurks
An imagined Photoshop collage
Draws weary as deliveries stop
Where are you my dear old friend?
The one I knew so well as a child
Take me home…
to the birds that sing,
to the trees that whisper
and the flowers that bloom.

Our debt comes due
All will know the cost
Add it up, tally the toll
Deadly silence in a barren land
Money in a dust storm, all that is left
Death to life
Counting down
Till the penny drops
No more… more, the echo sounds
As the last window closes
We are locked in
And so the night begins
Wildflower
The wind howled at it
The rain drenched
The sun blistered
Animals trampled
It dug in deeper
Emerged triumphantly
Spread its leaves of liberty
Beamed with resilient optimism
Defiant of destructive forces
Standing as the good example
The wildflower propagated
Freedom’s never-ending will
The beauty that is found
In the days that tire the bones
the mind looks to escape
step back, breathe slow
observe time pass by
Refocus, delve within
break free in the reflection
reopen your heart
let it guide your sight
Hear the rain fall,
drop by drop
feel the sunshine,
flush of warmth
feel the sand at your feet,
sink them deep
lay still in the gentle embrace,
hug tighter
watch the light rise and fall,
stars sparkle
as the moon illuminates
unwind as the water washes it all way
Give it a moment,
let the tears fall
pick up strength
radiant beauty shines through
Camille Barr
The day has passed me by (not to try)
In the years that have passed by
Time always seemed to be behind
At 15 I was too old to try
At 30 I was just old
Now the time really does go by
Without regard for what you do
Passing by lost opportunities
On a slideshow of what could have been
‘Walk don’t run’ your time is now
In the only present moment that matters
These are ‘The Good Old Days’,
Even when they’re not
This is the day that passed by without regret
