Best In The Black Poems


Caught In the Black Rain
She's caught in the black rain, emotions are swimming in darkness, as the
 acid rain impairs her vision; within the depth her soul she's unable to find goodness.

The falling black rain has her mind in a state of confusion, murder is no longer
 an ill...

The Other Head In the Black Hills
The Other Head in the Black Hills

By Elton Camp

It began to be carved in 1948
For completion there’s no date
Crazy Horse is the man’s name
Of the Lakota, he’s one of fame

When the villain Custer came to kill,
Crazy Horse, Custer’s guts did spill
Because Custer came with greed
“Both...

Where's the Color In the Black and White
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**...

"Seduction in the Black Out Days"



Love wrapped its long legs around me
Brought me closer to so much more
in the Light I breathed in your fever
you touched me inside planted your
hard heated mind and seeded me
wanting so much more, 
the pulling towards
the rising, the calling
a little...

In the Black of Night
(in memory of "Black") 


Another soul has left this lonely place, 
A place without end, 
A time that will not stand still, 
With one shot 
She left this world as an unknown 
Just another number, 
Jotted down in the book of time 
And thus gone...

IN THE BACKSTREETS OF MY MIND

      Loud crowd of feeling
      in the black streets of my mind
     failing to revolt

Premium Member The Girl In the Black Frame - Part One
I look long at the girl in the black frame,
she is me some odd years ago, not that many;
I wish that I could find her again.

She looks so tranquil leaning there,
on that dappled maple tree in the summer;
her eyes are piercing me.

I still reflect that...

Premium Member The Girl In the Black Frame- Part Two
I lost me somewhere in the map of my life,
yes, I still have the flawless ivory skin;
lips of cherry pink stained,
there is more pain in my eyes reflected.

I feel that I could reach out and touch,
the girl in the frame;
brush my finger on her velvet...

Premium Member The Ticket Drowned In the Black and Ground
The train time is set

She should be here by now

The long coats at the far end

Sense a meeting here and now

The ticket in the hand

Was her last chance to run from all this

The coffee in the cup sealed her fate with no goodbye kiss!

The ticket...

The Unknown Woman In the Black Dress
The Unknown Woman in the black dress
Her blonde hair laying over her shoulder
The dress complimented her tan, toned legs
Her black heels with bling on her ankle strap
Almost definitely protecting her beautiful, painted toes
The things I should have said when u turned to me
The naughty thoughts...

A Light In the Black
When ready I was to surrender,
unconditional, and to Death, no less,
then caught my rising head a lighter shade than dark.

An impossible phenomenon,
amongst these always gathering, ever-permeating devils.
The throng of suffocating blackness parted - You who would die too: Hark!

For there in the eternal night, flickered...

A Person In the Black
A person in the black
Seen in the dark 
The thing he lack
Known to be the pain of crack

He went moving in street
For the blood
He want to drink that blood in the concrete
Above the flood

Then he saw a girl
Whom he never tried to hurt 
He controlled...

A Bright Star in the Black Night
And Skadi had her way much snow today 
Imparted volunteer job hopes soar high.
Each Thor’s day , a shining star in a black sky
Orange in my throat and gob smacked, what to  say?
And never let the blighters beat you down
And the sawbones mention you...
