You Heard Me Call

You heard me call 
I didn’t say words needed 
Not yesterday.

All was lonely, all was not right 
You heard me call but turned away. 

Words stung, they torn away 
A facade built up way before today. 

You heard me call and laughed away
The sights envisioned for tomorrow
Created just today. 

I have stopped, I call no more
For words must be by someone else 
It’s not my work, not anymore.

I Find My Heart Cold

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I find my heart cold
In charge of no life
Making no sound
Finding no life.

Lonely of course
Hardened and cruel
Seeking no justice
A master I’m sure
That is such a fool.

Sudden I hear
A kindness roar
Blood pulsing inside
Like opening a door.

For my heart is alive
Beating with life
Coursing with love
Creating a good life.

Exalted

Holy has it
Blessed to be
In the company of the exalted
Those that run the universe
The rain, the wind
And me.

No one says
They are lonely
Nor do they see reason
To be unhappy
Or heaven forbid
Angry.

You will be one
Of these persons
You will be filled with ecstasy
For the exalted
Will make sure
It comes to be.

I Didn’t Make It

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn’t make it
Cut from the lot
Standing alone
Not knowing what’s up
What’s not.

I know it’ll be over
I’ll pass on
But for now
I’m lonely, fractured
Having trouble to cope
To move on.

Feeling

Feeling lonely, feeling sad
Feels like I’ve been bad.

Feeling so much
Feeling nothing, feels numb.

Feeling heartache
Then feels like I should run.

Away from all this feeling
Feel something no, feel none.

When Everything Is Obscure

 

 

 

 

When everything is obscure
Upside down
In the loo
How can I think
Pleasant thoughts
Laugh or cry with hilarity?

Nope
Not happening

Crushed, lonely
I trudge ahead
Feeling chains
Of impending dread
A smile cannot cross
My doomed face
All joy is gone
It’s been erased.

Why I live
Why I die
An answer comes
Slowly
As I cry.

Love Unfolds

 

 

 

Love unfolds and let it be
Crushing sadness and lonely
Rising high
My heart love does
Soaring over all that thuds.
Trumpeting songs of loving joy
Smiling happy is employed.
Caressing kindness
The optimistic kind
For all love
Is always blind.
