Best Color In Poems

During the '70's, deep in the South,
     I was white but raised black by a black man.
     As a boy, I have watched the Ku Klux Klan
on the news—and was frightened as a youth
who was “black.” In those times, it was uncouth
     and...

We met by chance so time ago
Her heart was young and kind and full of glow 
We shared a bond and an interest the same 
And from the first moment I met her I felt no shame 
There eyes were so sharp and frightenly untamed
Just because her skin wasn’t the same 
It didn’t matter much...

Dedicated to my friend Jordan

Things always seem to fade
Fade into the grey
And it makes me wonder
Where is the color
In this world of black and white
Where is the color
It makes me wonder

You say I’m ignorant 
For what I believe
There can’t be a God
In all the bullsh** lies
But what if
Just think of this
There’s a bigger plan than...

The Color Of Her Eyes


I sent her my all, my very best
Rainbow flowers wrapped in true-
expressions of love and tenderness,
all the goodness she was due!

I sent her, gentle touch each day
An echo of my eternal burning fire-
so hot, so hot it melts the sky,
birthing each day great Love anew!

I hold her, with hands that need
Kind...

You are tune of flowing wind
You are lighted like sunshine
You are flow of flowing Ganga
You make addict me with your touch
I also need this kind reason
Lonely day and lonely night
Understood the condition of my heart
Try to come near my heart
While you listen my talk
And shower of your grace on me
I also start view dream
Believe on...

At last she finally has the violin,
that will color her world with music! Her magical world lost touch with the
beauty of music, becoming black and white. The tunes flowing
from the brown violin's strings will spread like perfume, and treat every black and
white with color. To complete her colorful mission, she she needs a brown fiddle,...

The big top tumbles
Tears lie deep within
A painted smile

Casting dreams across;
Florescent skies;
Wonders of clouds up high;

Dawning blue lavender;
Burning suns attire;
Ridden environmental stars;

Majestic rainbows after the storms;
Pleasantries mounting;
Spacious daunting

Burning sundry attire
Ridden environmental stars;
majestic rainbows after the storms;

Dawning blue lavender;

when I dream
I dream the 
color in you

like sapphire diamonds
sparkling in colors of
shaded hues

then theres crystal blue waters
that have been 
parted in two

also there is some
Champagne skies
that holds toasts to you

even some bleeding hearts
pumping their passions
from the morning dew

I see bright sunshine
exposing its hidden
orbage too

For this my Lord
is what I tend 
to do

when I dream

I need butter to be spread on my bread
I need wool worn lies pulled over my head
I need to be able to hold myself high
And see your face when I look to the sky

I need to know that you know that I’m here
I need the truth to be held everywhere
Never should children hold back their...

#Thank_you
My hat is off, gratitude to the table. 
Lemme put on my dancing shoes, 
this is a call for celebration. 
Pop the ink out,

Painting brush, firm on my right hand,
Toss closer the rainbow colours
Wanna pour my heart out, 
on this poetic board.

Drip of smile, 
drizzle of love and 
some dash of happiness.

See the driping joy...
