My heart bleeds
my eyes
do cry
everything in between
is
start to live
end with
die.
No words will hold you up
no words
take you down
only your mind
can
conquer
what keeps you
constrained
what keeps you bound.
Freedom is yours
freedom
in
life
start to live
is
my advice.

You have me
you
hold and care for me
I live to be
close
near to you
You are my everything
you
make me whole
you make me come
alive
I can’t see a world
a time
without you
by
my side.

There have been
regrets
in
my life
things
I’d rather
not
dwell on
Live twice
To find
joy
in those times
is
hard to accept
hard
to find
This is why
I acknowledge
they
happened
maybe cry
then
let them go
But did they
help me change
help me
grow?
You know
I just don’t
know.

Where do hummingbirds
fly
when they fly away?
Where do they
stay
drink all day?
Who do they know
to
sleep secure?
Do you
know
know for sure?

How can you
see
what’s near
dear
to me?
Standing
way off
talking to someone
that’s not
me
How can you
how can you
see?
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
I saw
you
falling down
I saw
rocks slip
crashing
all around
No sound
could
I hear
no breath intake
no cries
for
God’s sake
Only
falling
falling down.

Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
Holding still
and
finding out
the world
doesn’t turn round
me
There
is
no doubt
Full of myself
proud
dictating
what’s to come about
is
not
who I should be
This is true
I have
no doubt.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Can you see me?
Am I
close to you?
Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love?
Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class?
Are you there beside of me?
Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody?
Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up
Supporting me
Till the trail ends
and
we have made it
We are there.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
You can hear me
call
you can see me
cry
Yet
no where
do I see you come
to
me
Help me
thru
this that keeps me
trapped
No, not that I’m aware
I hope tomorrow
or
the day after that
I will feel
your embrace
Know that you
indeed
do
care.
