When the busyness and crazies
Go swirling around my head
When the future and past collide
With something full of only dread.
That’s when
I must hollow out a niche
And cuddle there instead.
Cause no one has
Ever heard of chicken soup
To ease the sop
That fills my head.

Be still
Be very still
And
I will stand
Stand beside of you.

Persecution is complex
Rules the master
And doesn’t jest.
Cobble up the past mistakes
Take them to a present place
Rectify and complete
Make them better
But be discreet.
This is what I surely need
To stop that
What brings me here
To my knees.

Tenderness, sweetness
Is all I can think
Til we meet again
Again.
Journeys are bold
Excursions wondrous sure
But nothing will be nothing
Until I see and you hold me.
Then and only then
It will surely be
Tenderness, sweetness
For me.

In the beginning was the end
Life itself was not a friend.
Toil and struggle never bends
Onward, onward forever go
To time lost but you still know.
In the beginning was the end
Never ever to be my friend.

Around and around we go
On the so called life
Merry-go-round we go.
Sometimes it slows down
Other times it races thru strife
Sometimes it dies and all lies still
On a merry-go-round we go.
We hold no controls we only hang on
And ride the steed we’ve been given
On a around and around
Merry-go-round we go.

Cuddled in the juxtaposition of extremities
I’ll marinate a smile. ~ Patrice

Angry, angry
That’s all I say
Don’t want this to happen
Don’t want it this way.
Insane
What can I say?
Angry, angry
And it won’t go away.

Let me be free
Free to accept life as it should be
Free to be the one I want to be
Free
Free to be me.
