I’m thinking, thinking
Things to do
Things I’ve done
And
Those accomplished
By me
For
You.
Some weren’t very big
Had no idea was to do
Then
There were others
Huge
On the scale of all things
Remembered
Lasting into the next millennia
Next spring.
I’m thinking, thinking
I really don’t have to do
Anything
Cause things happen
I’m thinking
Things happen
No matter
What I think I should do.

No one holds me close
No one
Holds me tight.
Instead I lay
Alone
Throughout
The long, cold lonely night.
Will there be someone?
Will they love me tender
Hold me close
Hold
Me tight?
I can dream
But
Will it ever be
On
This long, cold lonely night?

No matter the place
No matter
Where I’ve been
The world remains round
It comes round, around again.
Have I been here before?
Will I come back again?
Questions
Answers only answered
As they come round
Around
Once again.
~ Patrice

Let me not hold you close
Let my eyes not see
The beauty in your sweet being
Let me be all alone
Not near
Or
A part of anything.
Then I’ll know
How much I have
Then
I’ll be oh so glad
You’re in my life
I have a life
That’s perfect and mine to live
To have.

Show me
When
I must be sad, lonely
Not happy
Tell me if I’ve made
A mistake
Took for granted a kind gesture
A sweet refrain
For
If I have
If I’ve been callous, miserable
unforgiving
Then let me know
Let me see
A better way
And
Be a happy, giving
Carefree person
Who loves with no mistakes.
~ Patrice

You know I haven’t seen
You nearby me
Haven’t heard your voice
Say a single thing
Don’t know where
You’ve gone
Or
Where you could have been
For my mind remembers
The sweetest things
But
That’s all they are now
Is
Memories
Just memories
Could it be
I can’t find you
Can’t find you no matter
Where I look
Cause you too
Are nothing more
Than
A memory
A memory
My mind has
Put
Away for safe-keeping
To later embrace
And
Have a look?
~ Patrice

I know
You’re not here with me
I know
You’ve been called away
To take care of someone
Who needs you
More
More than me
I know
You will be back
You’ll be here
Once more with me
When I need you
Need you
Desperately.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I have found
The world is round
What is done comes back
Comes back around
So don’t make it bad
Don’t make anyone sad
Cause back
It comes back around.
Make it happy
Carefree, filled with joy
Then when it comes back
Comes back around
Your soul will know
Truly
The world is round.

Holding on, holding tight
Throughout the dark, scary night
No remorse, no justifying
Just being there
Feeling feelings of despair
Knowing in my heart
I will survive.
In the morning once again
Come alive
Live the day in happiness
Breathe breath of gladness
Preparing for the night
Gathering round
Holding on, holding tight
This is
Has become my life.

Nobody does nor do they see
The hurt, anger seething inside of me.
Can’t keep it in, can’t let it out
Fighting, wrestling my emotions about.
Will something happened
To change all this?
Will I find happiness, joy, and bliss?
Nobody knows nor do they see
This anger, hurt seething inside of me,
