Weep

My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.

Wait for me
For 
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there 
No more, no more
To
Weep.

You Heard Me Call

You heard me call. 

You heard me speak.

Whatever happened
that
you didn’t seek? 

Help
with all that’s wrong
makes you sad
makes you weep?

No help will come
If
we do not know.

No trouble solved
when
the answer isn’t seen
the question asked.

And
you sit in the midst
of what
you
just don’t know.

My Heart Does Ache

Soley 
my heart does ache 
for ones taken 
as 
angels bring to heaven 
these innocent people 
who’ve lost 
their precious lives. 

What is the reason why? 

My heart aches 
I weep, we weep 
We cry.

Deep In The Rest

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Deep in the rest of sleep tonight
My soul does dream so vividly
Life is full, time is dear
Honoured by those held so near.

I awaken rested, never knowing
Time has passed
Troubles solved and circumstance
Seems not to be the threat I feared
So horribly.

No one drew or threw a veil
Upon my sight
Just goodness does
And will prevail.

I slumber now in perfect rest
No concern, no distress
Awakening to light cascading down
Upon my life where goodness
Does and will abound.

Away

Long ago, far away
A heart was broke
He did not stay
To weep or cry
Nor brush sad tears away.

Crushed
A fool she thought
Then sat
Laughed
Brushed her own tears
Away.

No fool was she
No clown performing
For vacant love
He, he was the one
A fool for leaving
Not loving her.

He turned
He walked away
Never knowing what
He could have had
He walked away.

If I Feel My Heart Weep

If I feel my heart weep
My soul cry
Let me be in a place
Where good ones lie.

I Close My Eyes Just To Feel My Heart

Dedicated to those that served and gave all

 

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Dedicated to Sue, who has lost her beloved horse, Yorkie.
Our thoughts are with you.

I close my eyes just to feel my heart
Feel the pain
Please make it to depart
Lost to all never more to be
The call I loved and adored from thee.

Feel the sadness reign
Beginning down the path
Of no gladness, ecstasy
Only sadden, weeping pain.

You have gone, lost to me
Remorse is not the word
I need or want to see
Tears once of joy shattered
Left, gone no more to employ
Only rivers long, tragic and so deep
Flowing with overwhelming sadness
Do they weep.

Brought down to my knees
Blows of anguish
Anger
Morose disbelief.

Truly thought you’d live forever
Now know is never going to be
Love you ever
Ever please believe
Wanted never
You to leave me never
Ever leave me never please.

Now gone I oh so…

Frost Crunches Beneath My Feet

Frost crunches beneath my feet
Sodden leaves weep and weep
Fall has come bare bones are cold
The sun shines but no warmth
In this season’s end
I behold.

I Struggle

I struggle with what I know
I struggle with life
A life I don’t know.

I struggle with honour
And a love to keep
Close to my heart.

I struggle never to weep
Or be lost in the depths
Of someone else’s heart.

I struggle here
I struggle there
Not knowing where to start.

Yes, I struggle
I do so struggle
Here within my head and heart.
