Make me be the one
That sees joy, laughter
In all that comes near
Before me.
Let me
Not
See the tyrant’s anger
The anguish of the beseeched
Who need.
No, make me
A place of quietness
Filled with pleasantries
For all that
Come to me, that I meet.

@Patrice Clarkson – 2024
It hasn’t been
The easiest thing
It hasn’t been
Toil, stress
Heartache and distress
What a mess
Easy
It hasn’t been
Tomorrow, next week
Maybe
Next year
Things will be
Easy
Simple and clear
But
Today
Today, it hasn’t been.
~ Patrice
Patrice Clarkson – 2024
No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.
Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

Closely, slowly
I come to you
I feel your breath
Breathing
Breathing on me
All around
you.
I see your eyes looking
Past me
Looking to a future
With
Or
Without me?
I can’t answer
This question
For
You.
I can only answer
I want
Need
To spend
The rest of my life
In this world
With you.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
The choice is yours
The time is right
Don’t hesitate
Make yourself extremely clear
If it’s wrong
Or
If it’s right
Makes no difference
It’s yours today, tonight.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I feel you close
I feel you here
With me
No more alone
No more crying
Endlessly
My heart pounds in ecstasy
My eyes cry tears of joy
My arms embrace your very essence
I have you close
I feel
I know you’re here
With me.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
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
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No more to say
No more
Today
No more coming tomorrow
Or
Needless to say
Yesterday.
Cry if you wish
But say
Say what you need to
Til you have
No more
No more to say.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No one comes
Nor
Do they stay
Close to destruction
No, not in anyway.
Try to resurrect
The old, the traditional way
But
Sometimes
It’s best to let it lay.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
You choose
To be happy
Or
To cry
You choose
To live
Or
Choose to die
Life is not
That complicated
If you listen
And
Don’t lie
For
Your heart has the answers
Follow
Don’t fear nor deny
Tomorrow will be
Better
I hope, I need
I’ll try
Now
Is your chance
Your choice
To make it happen
To try.
~ Patrice
