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.

Power My Life

Power my life
To be the best
The best
I can be.

Let no secrets keep me
From being that one
I want
Need to be.

Let joy soar
Singing far above
And
Around my head.

I see what I’m capable of
All I need
All
I want to be.

Memories

Memories come 
Then
They pass 

I ask the question 

Did they really happen 
Or
Was I in a dream  
That wasn’t part
Of my past? 

Memories vague
Sometimes
Vibrant as if they happened
Yesterday 
Not long ago 
In a distant, distant past. 

I’ll remember, smile
And be
Reliving memories 
Remembering
A past that was
Really me.

Live Til You Die

Don’t live your life 
in a way 
you know how you’ll die. 

Live a life worth living 
til that time, that time
you really do die. 

Let joy, happiness prevail
all trials, heartache pale with moments
when
your heart bursts in joyous cries
your eyes run tears of gratitude
your ears hear angels trumpet
stories.

Stories of your magnificent life.
the life, that life
you’re going to live. 

Till you die.

Feelings Are Hard To Decipher

Feelings are hard to decipher 
anger, hurt, happiness or joy 
what are they trying to say? 

Maybe tomorrow
I’ll know 
I’ll have answers 
not known, understood
today.

Sing The Song You Hear

Sing the song you hear in your head
play the tune rhyming there instead
for if you follow all those sweet words
joy will be your reward
love will accompany you wherever you may tread.

The Path Is Varied

The path is varied
The trail travelled a lot
My thoughts are hurried
Stepping on this path
I’ve got.

Where will it lead
On what road will I pass
people I know
Those whose friendship
And love will or won’t last.

All questions and answers
I find on this road
Travelled
Will last, last forever
Forever last.

A World Most Divine

I seek to find
the world
in a place divine

No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime

Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right

Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night

This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn

A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.

Happiness

You haven’t seen
the last of heartbreak or the door
to
Happiness

Sadness, pain frolic on the path
tripping all attempts at prosperity
with
Happiness

They stand there laughing hard
mocking attempts at joy
and
Happiness

Take a breath, a deep sigh
all this will pass and once again
you’ll bask in the pleasures
of
Exquisite Happiness.

Last Day Of A Time

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Last day of a time gone thru
When everything’s done
Came back lived by me, by you.

Looking forward to days ahead
Not back at neither sorrow or dread
Only joy, “Remember it” she said.

Bring it forward to this New Year
Live it to the fullest
With much good cheer!
~ Patrice
