No More I Say

No more I say 
No more will I be angry
I’ll stay in the blessed day
away from dark clouds
ones that carry sadness, sorrow
making heartache
fill the days of tomorrow.

I’ll live the blessed, the right way
holding all that’s loved 
in gentle tenderness
no need for revenge or anger
no 
not today nor tomorrow.

I Hear Your Cry

I hear your cry 
I hear that mournful sound 
echoing
amongst the hills 
valleys
all around. 

Will I too cry, will I be sad
inconsolable 
in my quest for love 
amongst
all this sadness
and
sorrow? 

No answer comes 
no words uttered 
all
I hear is 
that awful 
awful
mournful sound.

Time Gone Bye

I sit here and write 
Of a time gone bye 
Of a time when laughter 
Reached
Hit the sky. 

When smiles
Were all you needed 
To be 
To be happy and carefree. 

But that time has passed 
That time has gone 
The world is dark 
Sorrow 
Misery all around. 

Maybe tomorrow 
A time will come 
Full of laughter 
Happiness 
All good things to come. 

I will live there 
I will survive 
I will taste good times 
They’ll be mine once again 
Soon and in
The sweet bye and bye.

Sweet Sorrow in your passing Shirley
❤️ Rest in Peace dear Sister of Life ❤️

 

My Heart Aches

My heart aches 
My soul longs 
for times of joy 
all long gone. 

No more to be 
no more to say 
loving words
I heard, heard
yesterday. 

Now has come 
a time of pain 
sorrow 
my heart aches 
my soul knows there’ll be
no tomorrow.

Somewhere Along The Way

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Somewhere along the way
My heart bled and sadness, sorrow
Washed away.

Somewhere along the way
I don’t know where or will I stay
Near or far, far away.

Somewhere along the way
My heart bled and washed
All thoughts of you away.

Somewhere
Somewhere along the way.

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!

Fall Has Come

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Fall has come, its presence felt
The lane is crowded with leaves that fell
Geese fly through coloured hills
Their honks ringing against clear, blue skys.

While squirrels cache seeds
Nuts and whatever they can fill
Holes hidden hopefully to remember
In the cold winter still.

Sorrow, anticipation crowd my mind
At the last of summer as it falls to winter
In midst of such beauty that sends
Chills to the soul and thrills the mind.

Somewhere along the way
My heart bled and sadness, sorrow
Washed away.

Near or far, far away.

All thoughts of you away.

Somewhere
Somewhere along the way.

I Don’t Know

Why it happened
I don’t know
Dealing with the aftermath
Is not a pretty show.

Maybe I’ll be better
Maybe I’ll get thru all this
I don’t know.

Sorrow and sadness carry me
Make the world slow
Forever, it seems no pleasure
Caring I don’t know.

Will it end?
Will I be happy once more?
I don’t know
I just don’t know.
