Believe: The Book of Poems

By Patricia Garrison

After reading my poems I hope the readers will feel the confidence that I have in me, and the passion and love that I have for others and the things that I do. We should have faith and courage in what we are struggling with or what may arise. Some situations we have no control over and some we do. Getting your mind right begins with you.
Temporary success in any situation is not always a good thing. Dont put off things that you can change until tomorrow. Love yourself, your life, be at peace, and live your dream.
There is nothing wrong with stepping out of the box and un-bonding the mental chains and holding on to your convictions for accomplishment.

Patricia Garrison

I was born in Brooklyn NY. I migrated to the Bronx NY at the age of 12. It is here where I went to school and finished at the College of New Rochelle and achieved my Bachelors of Arts degree. I have been writing from a very young age because I have always found peace in writing. Writing is a way to talk to myself and understand situations from a different perspective and now I have been motivated to share my writings with society. My employment gives me the opportunity to empower others by moving hurdles and giving new enlightenment to difficult life situations. I have come full circle with my career, children, and the love of my life.

Separation

My king is going on his journey

to fight with his life struggles

and battles.

I stand proud and watch as he straddles.

I stand proud to let him know

that leaving me in charge is enough.

I his queen am expected to wait

and hold things down;

things that we build up from the ground.

Our love is strong and honest.

It’s so sweet and humble in sound.

While he’s gone

I have to deal with his tough love

and understand

things will get rough.

There will be no calls, talks, or hand in hand walks.

No intimacy, no we, no us.

and I, must remember that he is still the man.

I am his rock I am willed, so I understand.

Because of the talks we had before he was gone,

I know I have to deal with my struggles and stand alone.

My struggles of mixed feelings of

loneliness, sadness, hurt and anger

and the love being put on hold.

These are the things I was told.

When he returns all negativity will get shut down,

and as we sit on our thrown

his right hand on my left thigh

all negative struggles and issues are gone

and as we hold our heads up high

with only positive thoughts in our minds.

let the truth be known

our life and love

will continue to grow.

Soldier love

A King needs a loyal soldier

that is going to keep his

head right.

The soldier is the one

he will show love to

and by his side

he will

sleep good at night

I’m your solider, your queen

and you are my man, my king,

together we will conquer anything.

I know your worries

and your struggles.

Together we will battle

what life brings.

Forget weathering the storm.

That is a weak battle

too much of the norm.

Together we are much

stronger and self sufficient

this makes us

different.

It is easier to make life changes

with me standing near

holding my spear.

You are king, you know

how to do anything.

But trust

that I will follow

your lead

because, I’m the soldier

you trust and need.

I understand you rule with

with a strong arm.

Still

I will stand

with you, my man

I won’t move on.

I may get wounded

and weak at times yet I will never leave

Your side,

because of your thuggish rulings

I may hurt and cry

but you, my king

will take care

of these things.

I’ am your human

mental and inner

strength.

You are my king

And

I am your

Heaven sent

Thug passion

He walks with a swagger

with a broad back

and eyes like daggers.

She walks with a switch

with her sexy smooth hips.

His handsome smile and her compassionate eyes

she has style and he has fashion

mixed together they make thug passion.

They fell in love at first sight

and things has never been so
