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
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...

Black and Blue
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...

Red, White, Black and Blue
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...

Black and Blue
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...

Black and Blue and Green
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!...

Indigo ink dreams
Dripping from heart
Tattoos tongue with kinetic kiss
Green electric buzz like sip
Of fine blueberry wine so sweet
Dreamy turquoise love touch
Filling me up with red desire
On fire for your romantic antic
Sweeping me off my feet
Carrying me with ease
Of a blue breeze to deserted love island...

Death In Disguise
Pattering rain shattering on grey road
With grisly green umbrella she troad
In a black attire looking ghostly white
Her red woeful eyes sending fearful jilt.

Watery moon painting yellowish lips
Frozen fear dancing on pink finger tips
Her flowing hair sweeping pain of ashes
An orange lamp blinking passing wishes.

Violet blooms...

The Purple Belladonna
A demure damsel,  her prussian blue eyes. 
I astray all blurred, in subtle catalyze.
High cheek bones, beneath her caramel hair.
My purple veins pulse, in red wanton flare.

The pretty Belladonna smiles in cold blood,
Venom frolic my veins, they wilt in lava flood.
Extravagance of heaven, in...

Spill
A single drop escapes

A single drop made from
Water, lysozymes and glucose,
But it's so much more than just that.

I miss you
and I want you
and I love you an unbearable amount;
but I'm far too shy to say so.

and just like that,
I can no longer contain myself
And the...

My Worth
My Worth?

Am I not worth it to you?
The care? The focus? The understanding?
I long to love you, but do you long to love me? 
Do you long to be with me? 
Or maybe I'm just there to ease your heightened emotions and once you're over...
