Hold me close
I pray you hold me tight
for
I am frightened
by
what shows
in
the morning light
Let it not be coming
to
take me
Let it be
just
a passing storm
that cares
nothing
absolutely nothing
about me.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Hold me close, let me go
No more to see the agony
Keeping me all alone
Destitute
Far from where I want to be
Hold me
Hold me then let me go
Trusting I’ll find my way
No matter where the path may lead
Where I need to go.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Hold me close
Don’t let me be
Sacrificed
To the dragons of eternity.
Let me see
Beauty, harmony
In the world all around
Surrounding me.
Cherish, nurture those that grow
In the shadow of greatness
Growing as they must
All alone.
But
Lovingly supported
By me, by us that hold them
Forever close.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Hold me close, hold me tight
help me understand
the goings on that happened
have changed
my life.
Let no word be spoken
in anger nor strife
let love begin to heal
the hurt, the pain in this
my only life.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me be safe in your arms forever
And
Thru this dark, dark night.
Let me see the love you give
Feel your presence holding me
Hear your words of wisdom
Evermore
Forever, into eternity.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
Hold me close
Hold me where I can see
All the beauty
Enveloping
You and me.
Never let me go
Never let me be
All alone
Without you close
Near to me.
Our hearts beat
Together
Our lives are intertwined
Let it be forever
Forever til
The end of time.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2021
Hold me close
Don’t let me fall
Between the cracks
No not at all
Let me see beauty
Spreading far and wide
No divide
This is my wish
My sole cry
Hold me close
Let not
Our differences
Collide.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2021
Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me feel secure
Throughout the darkest night.
Let my tears disappear
Feel safe in a land
Vacant of fury, anger
And awful, awful fear.
Hold me close, hold me tight
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2021
Hold me close
Hold me tight
Let me sleep
Thru the darkest night.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2021
Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me sleep in peace
Throughout the darkest night
Let no one keep gentle thoughts
From surrounding me.
For tomorrow will be
Another day
The sun will rise and shine
Holding night at bay.
Til she too succumbs
To quiet rest
In the arms of one
Who loves her dearly
Loves her best.
~ Patrice
