Premium Member The Elephant
The Elephant is big and strong It’s history runs deep and long But lots of Elephant’s are starting to die These friendly creatures and I’ll tell you why, They’re being killed by humans all around Tusks being sawn off is a harrowing sound Just for those tusks, they destroy the whole thing For the sake of an ornament, chess piece or ring So...

The blurred lines between childhood and adulthood
When the lines are blurred How can we tell who we are anymore How do we know when innocence begins and when it ends Or if it ever really happened At all This was not everyone's experience But it was black children's For a black boy who had to be a man Before he could be a child...

To the Cat Who Ran Away
To the Cat Who Ran Away You left so quietly one day, We didn’t hear your little feet. You slipped away and gone , While we were all busy with work. You were never meant to stay in, You loved to chase and roam. But now the house feels strange and sad, Without you here at home. We call your name, we check the...

The blood they spilled that couldn't be removed
He was strong in life But even stronger in death He refused to be forgotten So he stained the pavement in his blood A haunting reminder of what was done His blood spoke more than words could It's echo mourned his childhood To his friends and family he was the embodiment of love To the system they called him a thug How can that...

How Innocent Are The Words
How innocent are the words from the mouths of cute teens, it's raw poetry dedicated to lovers in any season that inflames ardent desire! Can that burning flame endure the longest time and become brighter and hotter than a crackling fire? Nothing seems strange about being sentimental, it's the age of tender romance, somehow delusional; touching should be spontaneous, not considered sinful: we all...

The scars they left us
He reflected on the life he had lived Staring out the window watching his kids with his grandkids They were his greatest gifts He also felt this quiet melancholy of putting them in a position To survive In a world filled with racists He hoped they would outlive him He hoped he would end up in a casket...

Far from the sun
My bed starts to melt I rise and float, gazing down Trying to remember where or why Never really had a chance I exit through a broken window An ocean of speeding faces underneath Blending into a gray lump All looking up at me The crowd moves in unison I look closer and it’s your face...

Premium Member Generalization
Statistics show that men are such creeps but women wish they had more partners. The irony is the male who was there at the playground as a little girl was hurt, And he attended to her for a few minutes, and the mother snatched her, calling him a pervert. But where was she for her daughter that day? And here are the...

Premium Member the shape of fire
Let the silence between us bleed into / a space of absence and unbury the flesh within the violence / to part deep / the blackness of starlings / heart held melting into the sun / so beautiful / so cold that even wings / the shape of fire / eviscerate into memory ...

Innocence
I saw it first within your eyes— A calm that mirrors twilight skies. No games, no veils, no words rehearsed, Just love in bloom, so pure, uncursed. You touched my hand and time stood still, A silent spark, a softened will. No past to chase, no scars to hide, Just you and I, and hearts wide-eyed. Your laughter danced like summer rain, Unburdened by...
