Best Coal Black Poems
The Older I GetI once heard the whisper of falling snow,
saw a spark in the eye of a coal-black crow,
felt the power and awe of a swift river's flow,
the older I get, the less I know.
My hair was once braided in golden cornrows,
by Jamaican friends in an island...

Death TollsThe atmosphere rings with the bell like calls
of the plover flock, long before they are spotted.
The flight herringbones a grey fedora sky.
Markings of white and coal black weave,
wing-stitched, a blanket maker’s dream.
Sigh makers they close on the beach
at high tide, the horizon shivers ...

In Sandalwood DreamsTurned and tossed like toys
Riding the mighty waves
Their master does what he wilt
To them his humble slaves
Rudely he flings their boats asunder
But calm can be his days
He is his own Master Wild
Unrepentant in his ways
His moods can change quite quickly
From sparkling blues to greys
From lapping...

Follow the Bouncing BallShe dresses the land down
in a virginal bridal gown
a masterfully cut and sewn chenille
shines brightly with a fine crystal appeal
Her assistants work quite diligently
to add special touches and then flee
they decorated the mountain peaks
using all their white glitter techniques
beat beat beat beat
pause
one small step to the...

Black DiamondOn the border of the obscure wastelands,
In the depths of shadows and torments,
Far beyond the land of Never Was, Never Will
Is a place where I hold you, strong and silent…
As the shards of your sensitive sadness prevail,
Sifting the awaiting coals below,
I shall reflect slivers of...

The Guy From QuebecBeneath his coal-black forelocks, flirty eyes
kept meeting mine when I allowed my gaze
to fall on him. As if I were a prize,
he grinned at me. He'd put me in a daze!
When he approached, my heart began to pound.
He spoke so fluently, and his accent
was French!...

Squandered HeartBring me salt from your tear stained eyes
to heal my wounds as I realize
that never and forever are similar taunts
making me crazy with a message that haunts.
Once we were new and we played it so well.
Yet in spite of some heaven we landed in hell.

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 23I conversed with the lone demon,
Who had asked for redemption on an earlier day
On this day her voice was mightier,
More brave, and powerful
She dared not sing in the presence of the Dark Prince,
But spoke freely to me,
Inquiring on Christ and His sheep
She too, spoke to...

ArmageddonArmageddon
Can you feel the raging storm approaching?
Hear the ferocious winds scream, "It's true"?
Can you see the coal black clouds descending,
Concealing the bleeding Blood Moon from view?
Do you smell the deadly stench of the eerie fog
Hovering, smothering,
The petrified...
