Happily Ever After

Patrice Watley Williams, Poetic Lyricist   Happily Ever After   In this life and before I am to leave My aspirations are reaching above to achieve My dreams of touching lives and giving back Through words and phrases of my minds creations As a track plays from a song and you’re reminded Of a poetic moment that I had once given Positive impacts as the words fall from your tongue As my words linger behind after I’m long gone Is what feels grand in my imaginative mind. Opening night at the opera and some talented soul Has composed my poetic mind vibes into a harmonious stroll, Of compassion displayed on stage for all to hear and see. A red carpet affair premiering Passion for Poetry, a stage play Reminiscent of grand moments in poetic history and all of its glory. Being nominated for Poet Laureate and not necessarily Obtaining the title because just having my name in the same  Sentence would be an honor. And if none of these honors never come to be If I’ve touched someone’s heart in a positive manner  Is quite enough for me.  All of these poetic efforts are  What happily ever after feels like to me Hoping, wishing it’s everything I’ve imagined it to be. Love Lies   Where does love lie? Unconditional-but not Does that word mean anything? A number of meaningful words Often taken for granted Sparingly thrown through the air For an un-expecting soul to capture Trusting and believing all is exact Untruths equal to deceit When never brought to the Forefront of conversation To fix its erroneous behavior Frequently swept under the rug So equal to the equation Of skeletons in the closet A collecting of ashes Some never cleaned up Just settled there for eternity I wish we loved as sparingly As we sometimes live our lives. So content with wrong Not clear on how to create truths So do we simply vacuum today Because there will be just as much Gathered there tomorrow? Temporary solutions, never the key to be free Love is selective in its choices As voices send morse codes and incorrect signals High levels of trial and error Resolve with new attitude, and an open mind To know that love lies.     Poetically, Patrice Watley Williams, Founder:  wearitgirlwigs.org   amazon.com/author/patricewatleywilliams Outreach Committee Chair/http://http://www.iwillsurviveinc.org http://www.amazon.com/My-Pen-Speaks-Poetic-Vibes/dp/160911325X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313849129&sr=8-1 http://search.barnesandnoble.com/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/e/9781609113254/?itm=1&USRI=my+pen+speaks http://www.booksamillion.com/p/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/9781609113254?id=5058590506127 Thank you for allowing me the freedom to be expressive as my Caterpillars blossom into Butterflies!!!
