Keep caramel hope in your sweet heart Let it guide you despite days so dark The Statue of Liberty may shed a tear But we shall not be moved from here Salty smiles vile white wicked words Try to knock down what you heard Content of chocolate character on display Never mind the hate be you you’re great If you weren’t why...

You use sex to live as a means to pay Attention not to mention evade escape Any responsibility in bills mortgage or rent Pretending to love like you are heaven sent You’re good at what you do making lovers a fool Only thing you own between your legs a tool Like butter your words melt like moth to flame You...

Premium Member At midnight, a silent ocean of ebony rises
At midnight, a silent ocean of ebony rises, a black lung stretching over my fragile ribs, and the bed becomes a cold altar where the body rehearses its disappearance, a sanctuary of shadows dancing on the edges of unknown dreams. The footsteps vanish, leaving room only for insects quietly gnawing the lampshade, small mouths reminding me how delicately the light...

Premium Member EBONY REMINISCENCE
Black as the night My sable soul sings Songs praising Nubian Ancestors dancing To treed thoughts Rooted in the womb Of my pregnant Poetic mind… Such is the essence Of poetic labors of love And the orgasmic Nile flow Of impregnating Words of wisdom Watering inspiration And thigh-warming Navel awareness Rebirthing chosen Mission purpose… Indeed my beloved Ancestors: To not know where We go from here Is bad And not to engage In working out Where And how Is...

Premium Member Echoes of the Silent Shore
As a deaf person who hears with heart I view sea sounds with emerald eyes The crashing waves seem to charge And sea gulls wings animate their cries I smell blue water and it seems to me It’d be a shame not to “hear” with feet As I splash with delight sinking in ecstasy Like tan sand I give into power...

EBONY WE ON THE WAY Beating our drums singing our songs rhythmically foot printing our hued feet with eyes still on the prize and the summit brightly in sight we be proudly marching in blues-jazz liberty faithfully assured no sisyphus-like rocky rolling oppression tappings can get us offbeat in our sojourn to mountain to liberation awaiting the dream’s reality for the ebony we:- ...

Thighs so brown and thick Ebony eyes that have depth I’m that weird poet chick Who eats alone writing poems I know I look self absorbed My papers are my best friends And my pen rights my sins I’m so proud of my loud thoughts That I jot them down like Plato or Aesop didn’t beat me I figure perhaps someone will drink From...

Tears slide down from ebony eyes Burgundy broken heart burnt fried Wounded by words like stones that fly Stunting self esteem killing pink pride You speak kindly to strangers though You even greet plants finely and they grow Yet you blindly hurt the ancestors soul With your desire to let the truth be told It’s not what you say but how you do Everyone...

If I was forbidden fruit Would you still eat me Even if you neon knew I’m not the one from your dreams Stealing away your fuchsia fantasies Feeling you pray for hazel healings If I was on fire would you help Drown my desires with your well Full of holy water spiritually rich Like sleeping beauty would you kiss If I was an...

Premium Member Mahogany And Ebony
An absolute fantasy, a cure for reality; Mahogany and ebony; It seems to go on endlessly, a pirouette through eternity; Mahogany and ebony, the slant rhyme of each other’s poetry; Blood woven into the witching hour, magnetic when mixed together; Combustible chemistry, lethal poison leaks from drunken eyes; Center stage energy, it’s not possible to not be captivated; Mahogany and ebony; An absolute fantasy, a cure for...

Premium Member Endless Ebony Garden of Stars POTD
"To lay awake and watch the galaxy slowly move, memories stored unlocked, a touch of existence." Quote by poet An endless ebony garden of stars, Galaxy humming wonder earthly ours. Ancient significant source of power, A warm celestial kept in earthen jars. To stand in gesture wavering flower. Tall scattered shadowed trees gaze upon bliss. A touch of autumn breeze, a...

As the sun filled the saffron skies with light, Ebony and Ivory sparkled bright, celebrating love beyond skin and name; they knew not society's evil game, sipping tea from a cup of compassion, dressed in empathy and primrose passion. They seized their moment in soft herbs of spring, letting kind...
