Best Ivory Poems

In the mirrors of Moirai
kismet and karma kiss adoringly,
unaware of this betrayal they label as life.

In the hallucination we call birth,
words whisper like bitter winds,
composing a metaphorical manuscript,
weaving a quilt of invisible inflictions.
Silent screams serenade in childhood bloodshed,
where no messiah arrived to rectify sins of...

Lost amongst a trillion stars.
In lustrous shades of Ebony and Ivory.
We are like the moon craving for night fall,
so our twin embers can ignite dark skies.
Under the modesty of moonlight,
desire illuminates in our eyes.
We spark like supernovas in empyrean explosions,
waltzing around the planets in a...

tears 
on her pillow
refuse to dry
only her piano
                    knows her pain

sitting 
in her gown
her fatigued fingers
break her silence
        ...

He came to me with skin like ivory,
although his eyes and hair were dark as night.
He came with one year past his eighteenth year.
I, with one year shy of my adulthood,
was a woman-child with expectations
brimming of romance!

He was my Adonis and I, his virgin Madonna...

Existing, so removed, in your ivory tower
From high in your loft you wield your power

You weave your emotions like Rupunzel’s hair
dangling enticingly waiting to snare

Keeping your feelings locked behind bars
elusive and untouchable distant as the stars

Seemingly honest and raw and true
easy to trust what you...

"An ivory tower can be a fine place to live 
as long as you don't lock yourself in, and others out."

A pity I couldn't comprehend
What is happening to my homeland?!
Utter disarray harming my stand
Lives in the clutches of evil hands
The paths we are to walk have no ends
Face demons or bury heart in sand
Bend to the will, the risk in the wind!
To whom would I...

Victorian white lace, ivory fair of face,
Lips as red, the rose bud does grow, and is
Cut's deeply by it's own thorns.
Graceful maiden, beauties sheer elegance,
Of olden years past, weep ye no more.
Within the golden looking glass, she dances,
To a yearling's lullaby forgotten.
A lone figure in...

Go ahead, try to separate the races.
You politicians have egg, on your malicious faces.

Not realizing in your frozen hearts.
You toss imperfect, very hopeless darts.

Neither money nor educatiion
Can separate friends of the American nation.

Equity for Blacks only, you shout from your parapets.
ThatWill never separate us, not...

Caught off guard in templates of color
 that feeling I have frozen in the flesh 
 is singed by the siege of beauty served

Burnt oranges,reds,and colors of ash
Lusciousness and fleshy desires
Is it just a depiction my eyes have envisioned

Created and demonstrated to cut the frame...

Ivory moon
how you make me swoon,
as you cast your ivory rays.

Uncertain thoughts
of costly talks
surrounded by a thunderess gaze.

Eye's of forgotten beauty
look upon,
as the ivory moon hum's a song.

Never the less
I must confess,
The song that moon did sing;

Made me feel a beautiful passion
As that ivory moon
comforted...

I love watching the snow fall, 
very softly and gently to the ground.
The blanket turns from summer green,
to a blanket of ivory flakes.
Once whiter than white,
now ivory from the soot in the air.
What part do we play,
in this changing world we live in.
For better or...

Human hunters with spiffy new clothes
Driving jeeps, yelling obscenities, 
Blowing their inflated egos up with puff
Their guns are huge, angry, and mean. 

I run from them but I cannot get far.
BAM! They murder me in front of my child.
Who will take care of him now?
I...
