You know I haven’t seen
You nearby me
Haven’t heard your voice
Say a single thing
Don’t know where
You’ve gone
Or
Where you could have been
For my mind remembers
The sweetest things
But
That’s all they are now
Is
Memories
Just memories
Could it be
I can’t find you
Can’t find you no matter
Where I look
Cause you too
Are nothing more
Than
A memory
A memory
My mind has
Put
Away for safe-keeping
To later embrace
And
Have a look?

We make life
what
we are.
No excuses
we
just are.
Live life
to
the fullest.
Be who you are.

Feeling
the love
embracing the care
moving forward
knowing
I’m not alone
I have
you
all your love
your support
you care.

Cozy and tight
together
we sit.
Laughing quietly
knowing
bad
will never
exist.
To
mar our day
our week
our life.
No
we are pleased
to feel
this bliss.

The world is full of hate
Will it ever
Ever
Dissipate?
It festers, boils, multiplies
Spreading over
All sweet innocence
Kindness
Is
Denied.
My heart cries
Weeps for the world
So full of anger
Steeped
In
Hate.
Please take it
Make it be
Not
Of this world
Not for us, for you, nor me.

You hold me
hold me close
I feel you warmth
your breath
breathing life
kindness
into the world
we live in.
I hold you
close
to feel that
loving caress
that
kiss
upon my lips.

Come, sit by me
let’s talk
let’s speak about
our destinies.
Don’t let anything
be unsaid
for
together
we’ll make it happen.
We can see
our
dreams, our desires
come true.
No matter
what
others may think
say
have said.
We’ll do.

Warm and quiet
my heart
does beat
beat
beat.
Not
to the tune
another plays
no
it thumps
to
its own beat.
It may
skip
slow
race.
As
my heart
feels
blood flowing
with
each beat.
Coming, going
beat
beat
beat.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2026
I hold you close
I can’t let you
go.
My heart races
there is
no ebb
no
flow.
My eyes
cry
they weep
they weep so.
No more
will I go
to
the edge.
No more
will I let you go
for
you’re all
I have.
No, I must not
not
let you go .
