You Haven’t Been

No, you haven’t been 
there for me or any of your next of kin 
No, you haven’t been. 

All about yourself 
all about the great big me 
thoughts of any other are non existent 
never, haven’t been. 

It could be tomorrow or the day after that 
you’ll see the folly of your ways 
step up, be all that 
you haven’t
just haven’t been.

Holding Close, Holding Tight

Holding close, holding tight 
making it thru 
thru the dark, scary night

Tomorrow will be better
tomorrow I’ll see the light
leading to pleasure, happiness
and
all things of delight.

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.

My Heart Seems Broken

My heart seems broken
the world appears unfair
direction is lost
my world, my heart
are in
such deep despair.

It may be
tomorrow
the sun will shine
bringing healing, loving light
everywhere

But for now
in
this moment
all I feel is sadness, heartache
and
despair.
~ Patrice

My heart, my thoughts go out to those in Texas who have suffered such tragedy.

I Write The Words That Come

I write the words that come 
I see them in their entirety 
some are in colour
others grey 
altogether they make 
the words I write 
I say. 

Tomorrow
they’ll be different 
they’ll say something I never thought of
not til that instant
when they came and I wrote
wrote what they told me 
to say.

Anticipation

Anticipation, excitement brews 
Tomorrow is open 
I just have to put my way on cruise. 

Glide thru the troubles 
Step over the sad 
Tomorrow is my pleasure 
A sum of all I’ve had.

Tomorrow

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

He died today
But really
Tomorrow.

We said goodbye
With such
Great sorrow.

No heart could
Break
As much as ours.

We sobbed and sobbed
We knew there would be
No tomorrow.

Courting Life, Fleeing Death

Courting life, fleeing death
Time passes
Taking no regard for
The rest.

Holding close, pushing aside
All things
I love, despise.

In tomorrow
The world may change
Leaving everything
Just the same.

What Is Right

Don’t know what to do
What is right
My mind is in
A quandary, a plight.

Will tomorrow
Shed some light
On this dilemma
That I’m struggling with
Tonight.

Or will I go on wondering
What’s best
What is right?

Yesterday

When it happened
What did you say
How did you rationalize
All the people breaching
The Capital building
Yesterday?

Nothing, no one
Can make it seem right
in
Today
Tomorrow
or
Yesterday.
