Raining Down

The full and caring heart
Waits to hear
The sound of love
Raining down.

No drip, drop of seething hate
No frustration, anger
Making lonely roads
Seem so long.

Just love and caring
Gentle kindness freely given
No strings attached
No ‘What if’s’
None of that.

All we see, all we feel
Is loving
Caring, pleasant thoughts
Raining Down.

Having A Hard Day

Having a hard day
Sleepless last night
Thinking all that angers me
Keeps me up at night.

Not mine to control
Not mine
Yet I struggle
Struggle to let go.

Happiness evades me
Anger, frustration
He said
She did.

Why can’t they see
They’re not right
And I’m in the wrong place
Not where I want to be.

Anger Frustration, Darkness And Fear

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.

They dwell here.

A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.

Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.

No one to blame
No one to fear.

Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.

No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.

Crisis Crunch

Crisis crunch
Not a blessed thing I can do
Master anger here in charge
Not letting anyone disregard
All this mess spread about.

Anger, frustration
Does abound
Method used is not the one
Must change my options
Find someone who knows
Quiet, elegant all
Those wonder times.

Spend it there
Make it like a nursery rhyme
Full of happiness all the time
All the time
Make it a blessed nursery rhyme.

A Doormat I Will No Longer Be

A doormat I will no longer be
Steeped in anger where
Frustration does abound
This is the time to stand
Stand my ground.

Let no one push
Push me around
No need to fight bicker or respite
Just nicely say
No, this is not the way.

I won’t be intimidated anymore
Today or any other day
A doormat no longer will I be
This is the stand that’s going to see
The nice and happy no doormat me.

Anger, Frustration, Chaos A Maze

Anger, frustration, chaos a maze
Struggling not to enslave
Power is paramount in this I crave
Out of the hill I find myself
Climbing so dazed.

Leave me be strong and right
In the thinking I need tonight
Figure a way out of this maze
See the opening you need
And you crave.

Make the right way happen
In front of my face
See the steps taken will lead the right way
Wisdom is crucial in this that I do
Be patient and wait for
The right answer too.

Fill you with glory, magnificent frame
See ugly wither and most likely drain
Straight down the hell hole where
To reside
And in all fairness probably find
Happiness there to hide.

Sweet, sweet refrain abide with me now
Lift up my spirits please show me how
Live in a world I have no power to change
Choose the right road down which
I can retain
All calmness and beauty whatever the game.

I Struggle Here Today

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I struggle here today
In a deep and dark moody way
Anger wells up within
Stepping on a smiling grin
Bringing frustration to the fore
Please go away
Be here never, no more.

Nothing more to say
Try to shift my mood away
From darkness, anger
And all that stuff
To where the sun shines
Clear, oh so bright
And I can be an endearing part
Of whatever hits my aching heart.

In This House I Claim

Merry, happiness, frustration and pain
All have a place in this house I claim
None are all that places me here
Some more than others
Thats what I hear.

Work thru and challenge heartache, despair
None of which need to live here.

Open the door to the house I call mine
Tread lightly down passages
Down into time.
Touch walls built so safe and sound
Savour the flavour of the air all around
Then pad down aisles and up thru stairs
Glistening with joyous, uplifting prayers.

Cozy and tranquil is my room
Safe from danger, heartache and doom
This is where I live, this is my room
I claim it, I cherish it, I live life here
From birth to death here in my house
Here in my room.

Frustration, Solitude, Anger And Pain

 

 

 

Frustration, solitude
Anger and pain
Making things happen
In spite of all gains.

Why does it happen?
How can I change?
Bring me reality
Happiness and fame
Leave behind anger
Frustration and pain.

This I need
Make it happen
Please, please
Make it happen
Once again.

~ Patrice
