Hold It Still

Hold it still and very close 
Feel the love refrain floating everywhere 
Know the heart holds the claim
To tell wonders not yet explained.

All Of Me

Let no man see the turmoil
Boiling inside of me 
Let it be something to handle 
Not take control
Of all of me 

Joy and gratitude
Are the ones I want to see 
For they will take me 
On a journey full of happiness  
Just for me.

Write

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Write
What you need to.

Write
What you feel too
Doesn’t matter if it
Never sees daylight
Only known on pages
Of a book closed tight.

Write
Let it out
Let it be recorded on
The slate that makes you be
What you’ve become
You see.

The Help I Need

The help
I need 
I fear
is near. 

I hope 
I pray
it will guide me 
thru today from yesterday. 

I need 
I fear 
I hope 
I pray.

Thunder Clouds Fill The Sky

Thunder clouds fill the sky 
I ask myself 
The reason 
The reason why.

Thee

Delicately
I embrace thee

Softly
I caress thee

While with my whole heart

I unconditionally
Love thee.

Hold Me Close

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

Run And Jump

Run and jump 
leave the pain of not knowing 
where you’ve been 
and
where you came from.

The answers will be questions 
for the ones
coming 
after you, after me.  

Settle in to knowing 
you’ve been, you exist 
and
you will in the future be
a cherished memory.

Writing comes easy
It’s the meaning that is hard.

Quietly

 

Quietly I lay 
waiting for the sky 
to take away 
all the hurt, pain 
I experienced 
yesterday 

Quietly, quietly I lay.
