Let me not
Be the one who does
Wrong
Let me see the way through
Filled with joy, ecstasy
No harm
Let me not
Cry, weep nor wail
Let me be
Happy far into day’s final ending
Night’s gentle passing
Let me tell
Only sweet tales.

You have been
The best you can to me
I appreciate your love
Your honesty
May we be arm in arm
Together
As we travel through time
From now
To eternity’s distant place
Distant time.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Holding in my heart
All the love you could depart
Making me feel so loved
So strong.
There is nothing
I can’t do
Nothing I can’t be.
I know whatever
Comes my way
Won’t be wrong for me.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
You don’t know and I won’t tell
The secrets kept
That do dwell deep beneath the sky
In plain sight
But blind to the naked, uncaring eye.
See you when your heart opens up
Your eyes do speak
And your mouth remains shut
Then you’ll know
The secrets I speak about
Then we’ll laugh and dance about.

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.
~ Patrice

Courtesy comes
And
Does live
In the heart of heaven
I know it is.
I can see it happening
I can feel the bliss
Here beside me
In this, this life
I live.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
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,
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I know you haven’t been
All you love
All that you think
You should have been.
But that doesn’t matter
That’s not the thing
For you see
You are perfect
You are everything.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Not asking for forgiveness
Not saying I am right
Just living life to the fullest
Able to rest, to sleep tonight.
