CRAZY NIGHT
It's a ghost she screamed Then she fainted But no darling It was the spirit she drank She's so high Hennessy to be precise Her vision was blurry. Now she's unconscious Right in my bedroom She drank to stupor The DJ overwhelmed her I have no clue, what to do I've poured her water But she wants a kiss She said; my kisses is the water of...

I dont blame her
I dont blame her for how she chose to survive It was never really her choice It was a forced setup A gun forced into our hand To absolve them of guilt But they guide our hands On to the trigger And coax us into pulling it But was it really suicide When the world forced...

A funeral for myself
It was a funeral for myself And I still haven't buried her yet The sky opened up and released its anger Rained down in grief and sadness The only other witness to her multiple deaths The world built her to break It was too late to save her For she was now unrecognisable In a casket crafted from pain...

The survival and demonisation being black
Acceptance equals survival Survival equals safety Comfort equals invisibility And invisibility is vital For us to live a somewhat peaceful life 'Somewhat' because they even kill us in silence They even kill us despite our compliance When they see us we are greeted with violence There is a method to the existence of being black A formula so...

Painted Grey
Every time I try to make things right, Something breaks or slips from sight. I hold on tight, but still it’s gone — Just like the end of a breakup song. Deadlines chase me through the night, Redemption’s path fades out of light. I try to lift the weight I bear, But it gets heavier in the midnight air. I hope one day...

Your Rain was tears on my window pane - the first poem of yours I had seen - pain-drops spattered a snow-blank expanse, grief-blue with regret and what should have been. I thought mediocre.

LOVE LETTERS FROM A BLACK HOLE©2025 Sara Etgen-Baker Gravity bends; time stretches, light falters.

The time I got from eternity made me a part of you, as my desire flared like the blazing galaxy of the cosmos, I was keen to see the day my dreams would come true, when your love will pull me though the void of oneness. The sense of yearning came in the zero hour of awakening, soaring on...
