Black And Blue Poems

Death Nature 

Oh, how I love nature’s death;
As the season takes it rest;
Taking of its last thread of breath
Alas, climate changes jest;

It’s in death nature floral greenery fades away;
In death nature grounds struck at heart bay;
Death nature’s fallen silence leafs...Read More

I'm damaged and broken,
unable to fight.
My days are now spent,
in the absence of light.

My hearts black and blue,
from what I can't control.
A big empty space if you will,
a large black hole.

A place with no laughter,
a place with no touch.
Missing her...Read More

When I was young my mother's hand
Led me through a joyful land
Where neither war nor hate exist
Nor something more I must resist 

Where nothing but the night is black
And black is never dark for lack
Of something bright or greater light
But...Read More

Some big people ride trikes too!
Dangerous, could wind up black and blue 
Drivers patience, not much
When we hear a big crunch
Lying on the pavement, needing superglue

The day you died you took me with you,
The way you lied shook me black and blue.

The sorrow you felt, I sure felt it too,
Are tomorrow dreams won’t come true.

All the good hello's turned into dying goodbye's,

All the sorrows burned...Read More

I sit and I wait, patiently at first.
Anticipating and longing, for your touch to quench my thirst.
It's been so long, I'm going crazy within.
My brain isn't working, it's beginning to spin.

My hearts been imprisoned, for so terribly long.
You need to...Read More

I wish that I had superpowers.
So that I could read your mind. 
I'd violate your thoughts,
As you violate mine. 
Constantly, 
Incessantly; 
With unforgiving relentlessness. 

I would take control of you, 
And I'd make you a puppet.
So that you would know...Read More

Black and blue, red and green.
Pretty birds.
Lovely birds.
Soar and dive and preen on the scene.
Red and gray.
They play
On black and blue skies of somewhere.
Pretty birds.
Birds in air.
Past museums and statues in the park.
Modern birds.
Gilded birds.
Beauty even leaves a mark in...Read More

Love demanded I give my all
Of which meant: “dance to my tune’s call;
voice never, your disagreement;
ensure I have my enjoyment…”

Maybe, if love had been less loud,
endlessness may have been allowed…

Love never gave me back my all
Instead, churned out more and...Read More

I will beat you black and blue 
and even add in purple too, 
I’d rather not be hurting you, 
have a chat and lager drink 
exchanging thoughts that we think 
end the night with breath that stink 
over toilets people...Read More

 I am a Son of an African American
I run
my turmoils taints the history books
yet people give me evil looks
I run
I choose
Yet I am 
Black and blue, this is my physical hurt

Been given a name by my parents James
This is...Read More

Yesterday on the news I saw people fighting across the sea…
and as I witnessed hate in our own country this thought occurred to me…

That when it comes to the news…photographed up close or from high above
we are shown a lot...Read More

I have had my Fill with the Lifelessness of Winter		 

 

I have had my fill of this winter, 

The lifelessness in its frost; 

Fingers stiff, face pale. 

It’s cold pain in the bone 

To the black and blue bruise...Read More

She gathered roses,
one at a time,
choosing carefully,
for you see, they were her healing

A light breeze tickled her hair
as a brief smile curved upon her soft lips
The sun, bright on this day was a welcome diversion
from the clouds that followed in...Read More

Whoa mommy 
Oh where's daddy?
Am i the only son?
I guess he became A ghost
After conserving me, 
Destined to be in the dark
Formulated obstacles and schedules.
And my guardian a widow!
Family life nothing but hard love,
Its tough being black and blue...

Everyday a...Read More

“When we pray for the Spirit’s help...we will simply fall down at the Lord’s feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes with his love”

The room is dark and my
 heart races with fear 
He has hurt me before
 beating me black & blue
I tried to escape him but
there is no escaping
I fear if I leave him 
He will kill me
I ran I ran...Read More

Once in a blue moon.
being blue in the blue hour, and then: 
'Damn it to blue blazes!' - out of the blue,
one may be just out of the blues. 

For the true blue feeling gone,
walking away into the wide blue...Read More

I asked Solomon if he knows 
Any new tricks the system has planned for us, 
but he told me that- 
"behind the scenes these closed doors, 
closest's full of skeletons and lads tapping:
straight paths and chest cases hidden: 
booby-traps, too...Read More

	(To the tune of “The Blackboard of My Heart”)

There was a time when I believed
That you still cared for me
But now it seems those foolish dreams
Are just a memory
Your promises were cruel lies
And you said nothing true
That’s why I’m here...Read More

BLACK & BLUE
are the colors that
you turn to
like the others that 
he once knew
when he met you
and let loose

where you find
he is not so 
nice a guy
truth or dare
it's a lie
every time
he'll apologize

promising
he will not
do it again
till he raises his
angry...Read More

cat forlorn and sad

where are your eyes in the 11th hour?
do they roam to and fro, roaring
with insipid power, baiting the hook,
fishing for retractable men?

where is your nose in the 11th hour?
is it sniffing out a cesspool of plots,
hanging with odious men by...Read More

"Troll"



The silent
incessant chatter
thick black ooze

jeers and laughter
jolt lightening barbs
slicing a heart in two

the dark undercurrent
pulls a light soul under
while writing life striving revolutionary new

troll smirks suffocating the sands of true 
a new tyrannical rule eviscerates
the mind bleeds red

punched backwards 
into...Read More

Why are you surprised to hear the things I do,
You raised me,
Bullied me,
Battered me black and blue,
Don’t be surprised when I turn my hate on you,
You failed me,
Abused me,
And now I’m ed up too.
