The Love Of A Good Man
In his arms you feel safe
Anywhere with him is your favorite place
He doesn't judge you and knows when to give you space not to bug you
At the same time all you want is him in your space
Close your eyes and still see his face
In his eyes you look deep and know he is the one you want to keep
Before you go to bed at night he is the last one with whom you speak
Taking over your dreams when you are fast asleep
Your heart flutters when someone says his name
Falling in love don't be ashamed
He would never try to harm you with strength he helps arm you
Your his baby his wifey but not his boo
Only he knows what to do
To put the smile upon your face
Neither of you can be replaced
That person you meet once in a lifetime
But will love to the end of your lifeline
He motivates you has your back and loves you good
So as you read this and smile be thankful that you have
The Love of A Good Man

Patricia Brownlee Poem
Sometimes silence is louder than spoken words
I mean it says so much more than if I used nouns, adjectives or verbs
You are one of the last people I ever thought would wrong me but they say looks are deceiving
Therefore I shall not be surprised from the current treatment I am receiving
We have years of friendship invested and lately the authenticity has been tested
You came along long ago, making your mark and in my heart is where you rested
And if it all comes to an end great memories is what I am left with…blessed with
True many will not know what it is like to have a friend like you…you are one of a kind but if all this time you have been lying….then I hope they never do
I wish you the best in life…much love happiness…no strife
Towards you I feel no ill feelings I just had to speak on it because you and I both know how things are right now is just not right
Maybe I should go back to being silent because…
Sometimes silence is louder than words

Patricia Brownlee Poem
A breathtaking calmness infiltrated the night, and the sky was cloudlessly unblemished, seeming to only contain the stars shining bright like tiny crystals illuminating the sky over the shimmering translucent water. The azure water traveled through the mountain splitting it in two like a concrete rose. The old forest hovered over the water casting a shadow of hollowing trees, and the only sounds heard were that of the winds whispering soft lullabies to the ebony night. The sight was glorious, a starlit sky shining brightly above the water cascading, plummeting below leaving thunderous ripples where the sea meets below the ever pleasant rolling green hills. The waterfall was the stronghold of the vivacious, captivating island with its ten mile long river flowing as a snake's movement through the island's grass, moving slowly as the snake's feeble journey, sailing through the lands leaving behind a remarkable story to be told.

Patricia Brownlee Poem
Lost in a stolen moment but we acting like we own it
You say you feel one way but if that was true you would've shown it
Looking forward to the future forgetting about the past
No longer believing the good things will always last but holding on to them as they seem to go by so fast
Finally realizing my happiness is key to me being the best me I can be
You preyed on my weaknesses and this I now see
I am disarming your persona and front of being charming
What I see underneath the sheep’s clothing is alarming
I guess we all have to play the fool once
I’d rather leave than to let you lead me to a path of destruction
No thank you to your presence you have just been a interruption
Now it’s back to the regularly scheduled programming
I know what I deserve is better than you I am better off alone than wasting time with you
Refuse to end up bitter good luck to the other one you telling you with her
Lost in time silly me to think that you were really mine the cuts you left will heal in time
I am in the driver seat the course is mine, God willing someone like you I will never again find
Lost in a moment I don't want you can own it
Your true colors came through it was a matter of time and you've shown it

Patricia Brownlee Poem
Stressed, depressed...all understatements
Striving for greatness but not coming close to making it
See for you it's poetry but for me it's our life
To walk in the house with my kids and out goes the light
I know it's a cold hearted world but this is not right
Try to get help and they are putting us through hell
I walk with a smile on my face so the people can't tell
I did not grow up rich but our power never got turned off
I made a go fund me trying to bring heat and lights back to my kids
But its another cold dark night as they lay in their beds
As I write this by candle light the tears are falling fast
I'm longing for the day that this is just a bad memory in our past
Mommy and Daddy are sorry that this happened
Mommy cares for you daily all having health issues
Daddy works hard... after the bills we can barely afford tissues
You are our world and we love you, nothing on this planet above you
For most this is poetry but for us it's our present

Patricia Brownlee Poem
They say I can't love you but only God and my child are above you
Falling for you fast I hope you catch me You are a amazing man, God has truly bless me
Obstacles in our way, people are going to test me
True love is all this can be
I was blind before but now I see clearly
A bond like ours is unbreakable, my feelings for you are unshakable
I could never count all the ways I love you, there are not enough numbers
My love for you runs through me like the blood in my veins
When it seems all around me is crazy you keep me sane
I know my feelings are not in vain
Pouring my heart out to you is my aim
An unconditional love from me is what you stand to gain
We can be each other's umbrella in the rain
Storms will come and storms will go, my love for you can only grow
Each day I pray for me, I pray for you, I pray for us
We have found true love...minus the lust
Our story is just beginning, God willing we are working towards our happy ending

Patricia Brownlee Poem
This goes out to everyone who has ever lost someone to the streets.
I cry a tear for everyone who has ever lost someone to the streets.
So when you look to the floor that's why there is a puddle at my feet.
Please my fathers brothers sons boyfriends husbands wake up.
We have to live better do better.
Once your gone there is no coming back.
Your killing for money and jewels non of which you take with you when your gone.
We need to lift each other up not bring each other down.
If we don't who will?
My heartaches because so much is not understood.
Killing someone for coming to what you call your "hood."
I cant find the words to get you all to see the light.
The rate were leaving is just not right.
Babies never getting to be boys boys never getting to be men
We must not let evil win
Day after day same thing on the news another young person gunned down on a city block
Make a change the foolishness must stop
Speaking to you all from my heart take negativity and make positivity
None of us want to die so why be so quick to take another's life
Leaving lonely mothers sisters daughters and someones wife
Put the guns down find another way there's a lot on your mind I know you want to say
Lets turn this around Baltimore starting with today

Patricia Brownlee Poem
These beautiful lies so much pain in my eyes-I put my hands together and look to the skies
Everything I been through made me who I am but who I see and who you see well we may just disagree
When I look in that mirror the woman that I see is a survivor, a strong warrior princess with a captivating mind that captured your interest-I'm not perfect but I know that I am worth it-No longer settling for less only striving for the best-maybe the past was just a test-Yes, I'm so blessed, because I am still standing and able to tell my story-To God be the glory-see with out my faith I could have never made it this far-I ignored his warnings time and time again until he pulled the wool from my eyes and I had no choice but to face the truth-I have to make better decisions no longer can I blame my youth-I am praying for clarity, it all seems unreal what I have found is a rarity-I gave God the pieces and he is putting them together I just need to follow a righteous path and brave this stormy weather-Never have I put my happiness first I mean not really since I been on this earth-always thinking about the next person even if it upsets me yeah that's worse-hopefully I can change that before I begin this next verse-where is that mac makeup so I can cover up the hurt...I mean act like it does not exist and just smile through the rain-not living in the past but really looking at the present-see life is a gift so we refer to it as a present-I still smile as the tears roll down my cheek-staying strong I am not going to lose sleep-I just pray for strength and ask my heavenly father to guard my heart and guide my feet

Patricia Brownlee Poem
Happiness and joy is what I feel all around me
So thankful for the day that you found me
I sit and reminisce about the good times and the life we made
I would not trade it even if millions of dollars were paid
Remembering the times like where we were when we shared our first kiss
how beautiful things are….with you it’s pure bliss
Remembering our first date and how you were always on time never late
then came the second date….we could not wait
Twenty years later and it still feels like that first and second date
The kids are going off to college and the house will be ours once again
All these years later I still have my best friend
Loving every moment of being your wife…twenty years ago when you asked
was the happiest day of my life
I hope to spend twenty plus twenty and twenty years again loving you
You are an amazing man and from day one have always stayed true
We have seen a lot come and seen a lot go…I am just so thankful that with you I
will continue to grow
