Having A Hard Time

Having a hard time
For
I’m seeing the future
In a bleak frame of mind 

Looking out onto trees 
Dripping
As if crying along with me

My heart is broken
In
So much anguish and pain

I know
The sun will shine
Again 

I know
I will laugh 
Til
I cry once more 

But until
That time comes 
The future is sadness 
All I see 

A future bleak 
Without you here 
Near me.

Lost

Forbidden virtues
Hidden, lost
Make my life
Chaos
No reprimand
No solicitous time
Just lost
Lost.

Maybe tomorrow
The sun will shine
Maybe then I’ll see
The light
The reason so sublime
All will be ok
Right
In my not tortured mind.

Melancholy

 

 

Melancholy raining, dripping down
No obvious reason can be found
Spreading cross the quiet landscape
Resting briefly on a innocent face
Then running down
On tears of those lost, wandering round.

Maybe someday a bright sun will shine
Dark, foreboding clouds pass
Dissipate and show guiding lights
Til then only melancholy
Can be found
Reigning so profound.

Save Myself, Help Myself

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Save myself, help myself
Do not accept defeat
Power, strength moves mountains
Higher expectations cancel out retreat.

Now is the time to stand
Stand right on the line not looking back
Accepting the fact that I am
I am.

I am the one who has the will
The power to help and save
That person who I am
This I know, I know I am.

When I Feel

When I feel I must go
Not to stay
Then I’ll know the path
The path to take
No remorse will come to mind
No fallen down
No mistake
The sun will shine
Rain will fall
The moon shall rise
And
I’ll be at peace
With it all.

Seeking, Seeing Frustration

Seeking, seeing frustration hurt
Haunting me
Move to the left, turn to the right
Nothing works, not tonight
Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Clouds escape to a happier time
Taking me with them on a path fluffy white
Filled with joy gentle and kind
No regrets
For I’m in that happier time.

Unforgiving Is The Night

Unforgiving is the night
Waxing in pale moonlight
No remorse echoes
Thru this night
Only lonely wails of moonlight.

Sun will come and shine
Making night a distant time
But til then we’ll exist
We will survive
Darkness hiding in night’s cold, ebbing tide.

Saddened

Saddened by what has happened
Devastated by what is done.

Moving forward with a heavy heart
Feeling as though I’m coming undone.

It will get better
The sun will shine once again.

But for now there is no light
Darkness engulfs a healing sun.
