Only I Know

Only I know why
Only you can tell me
So reasons won’t
Become the only thing
I see, I know. 

Going past the known
With calmness
Desperately holding on
Caring not
If it’s right
Or
If I belong. 

Cause
Only I know 
Only me has known  
All along.

No One Goes

No one goes
Nor
Do they stay
In
An atmosphere of anger
Or
Decay. 

Everyone
Tries their best
Embracing
Joy
Happiness. 

I’m no different
I don’t want
To be
Floundering
In
Indifference
Squalor, insecurity. 

So
Let’s get together
Let’s join forces
We two – maybe three
Make
A difference. 

Create
Heaven
Here on earth 
Make it
A
Real majesty.

Known To No One

Known to no one
Known by someone
Living 
Guiding my life.

Appreciative of the guidance
Acknowledge my life
Is held 
By a gentle spirit
Orchestrating 

Orchestrating me
The best 
The best life.

Honours

Honours come
Then they go
Fleeting at the best
Don’t make them
All you know 

They are in your mind
They don’t exist
As
I hope you know 

In the air you breathe
Growing grass 
Or
Rivers that flow 

No, they don’t know.

Wondering What I’m Going To Do

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Wondering what I’m going to do
Travel back in time
Or make memories all anew
Finding it hard to let go
Of thoughts and judgements
I’ve had, they just stay
They won’t go.

Heart is full, heart is fine
But it must be considerate
Of those along the way I find
Never to berate
Nor say stinging things
Be good, gentle
Moderate everything.

The World’s Round

I have found
The world’s round 

How profound 

Thought it was flat
I’d be falling off the edge
Holding on, grasping 
Dangling 

That’s what I thought 

Then I walked
I walked and walked
Coming back round
To where I found

The start 

Never falling off
No, I made it back
Cause the worlds’ round
It isn’t flat 

And that is that.

I Won’t Be There

No, I won’t be there
Not sure where
But
Won’t be there 

The sun won’t shine
Rivers only wind
And
Trees pine away 

But
I won’t see
Cause I won’t be
Won’t be there.

A Heart Touched

A heart touched
By a loving paw and a wet nose
Is a heart
Forever
Forever full.

My Heart Does Sing

My heart does sing
A song so pretty
Blossoms bloom 
Grass grows
And
Birds sing 

For the song
Sung
Doesn’t weep
but reaches, holds up with strength
All that’s needed  

To keep the earth whole
Skies blue
Stars shining 
And
Waters running 

For they too
Sing
Such a lovely song
Of grace, beauty  
And
Sincere gratitude.

I Heard Your Heart Beat

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I heard your heart beat
I saw your breath breathe
My fingers touched your lips
My hands caressed your feet.

As my soul touched yours
I knew, knew there was
No where else in this world
I need be or rather go.
