Best Black And Blue Poems

BLACK and BLUE

Today I wonder, 
Wonder why?
You hit me in the eye, 
you made me cry.

My eyes are brown,
Now they're black and blue.
Is that what I get for loving you?

My lips are pink, now they're bloody red.
Is that what I get!!!
Do you wish I were...

THE BLACK AND BLUE BLUES

There was blood on the street
On his shirt
And on his shoes
Yet it never made the news

Just another person
Just another tale
Just another sister with a sorry story for sale
A beauty bound to lose
Yet it never made the news

There had been thousands of...

Black and Blue

Ma, Jimmy knocked me in the head;
don’t tell his mama – I’ll be dead.

My eye is black; my elbow bruised.
Please kiss them both (tween me and you.)

I cannot go to school again;
he said he’d kill me, what then?

Oh mama, mama I don’t want...

 I am a Son of an African American
I run
my turmoils taints the history books
yet people give me evil looks
I run
I choose
Yet I am 
Black and blue, this is my physical hurt

Been given a name by my parents James
This is true yet still I'm black...

You say you love me, but this is not true.  You say you love me, but you beat me until I am black and blue.  I know our marriage is over, what about you.  You say you love me, but you beat...

Urban asphalt trail 

becomes home's huck-pickin' slope. 

Blackberries are ripe!...

It was supposed to mean equality.
It is meant to be the Red White and Blue's main policy,
So why is it I feel like a minority.

Give me Liberty or Give Me Death, they screamed
To their very last breath.

Wars were waged and,
People were enraged.
All for what?
For my...

My heart is black and blue now, done so by your claws,        
our love no longer valued, ended now I’m told.                 ...

There was an Irish guy who loved to dance,
when his kilt swung high the ladies would glance,
but snow on St. Patty's Day
made him fall in such a way...
his bruised leprechaun gets no more romance!...

It was all black and blue;
Who else, like the fated girl
Could stand the watch?
She had to do it without a fuss
Though it had been part of her day.

Now on the way, 
Weary and worn,
She has left and gone
And nothing remains. 

I swore since then
If you...

Right now it's peaceful, beautiful
These moments here with you
These times we share, the two of us
Between the purple, black, and blue

Regrets and fears in limbo lay
So quietly, await another day
And you with me together lie
Between the purple, black, and blue

And as the twilight turns to...

Ummmm, black and blue;
Delicious!
Blueberry cheesecake on a platter
Of chocolate syrup.
Nip of pillowed cream cheese
and tart blueberry
a semi-sweet wave of
chocolate river flowing through your palate;
how they glide across tongue and over
teeth-stones…
Miraculous ecstasy!
To succumb to such a powerful beast
Is like the victim sailor to the siren’s song.
Some...

BLACK AND BLUE FRIDAY

First – the carbo-loading
monster meal to sustain
the beast that drives
the cornerstone of greed
in mindless hunt for “bargains”.

Next – jockeying for position
awaiting the starter’s pistol
explosion of coupon bearers
storming the gates of ….greed
pursuing an empty, endless, need.

Feint right, fake left, bob and weave
position, position,...

Red Black and Blue

Don’t put your arms around me

Displaying phony comfort

Trying to convince me that everything’s going to be alright

Houdini, I’ve seen this trick before

And I know the way this story ends

Busted bloody lips, swollen black eyes & a variety of blue bruises

That stands out...

The Moon is full and bright.
It's white.
But I know...
it's black;
or, anyway, grey.
And swaddled in the airless
Really Black.
(like me.)

The sun is yellow,
the Sky blue. 
But the sun's always
seemed white to me.
The anodyne Sky - so less 
blue
than one who is blue
down deep, so blue. 

And when...
