Meredith Etc proudly presents Southern Jewel: The Elements Within by Ty A. Patterson.
On one hand, Patterson’s poetry describes error, drama, and carefree living, but it also depicts an evolution from youthfulness into maturity, and discusses friendships, romance, and other topics. Below is an excerpt of the poem Real Woman, Real Man in Chapter 1 Earth:
"All we want to do is be in our comfort zones. But even that is twisted. Some comfort zones include alcohol, drugs, gossip ... all because we use the excuse "only God can judge me" but we forget - one day HE WILL!"
The poem He Sent Me You from Chapter 2 Fire eludes to the sensual essence of a man; an excerpt is as follows:
"Face to face when he breathes out, I purposely wait and breathe in just to inhale the most intoxicating fragrance I had ever indulged in. I wonder if he knows what shade of brown his eyes are… if you mixed black coffee, caramel, maybe brown sugar and my reflection… that's the color. I touch his hair and I feel as if I am touching the softest blends, feeling the most sensual patterns.
God must really love me.
He sent me you."
Southern Jewel is grouped into Then and Now intermediate sections followed by poems and letters which use the elements as metaphors to discuss diverse experiences. Enjoy it!
