Love & Fate
Edmund black Jun 2023
“Love” was how
We found each other
But “fate” is what
Will always keep us together
There will come a time
I may not be able
To catch you all the time
When you fall
Because life’s happens
Sunshine I’m sorry, life’s happens
But even though if happens to be true
You can always count on me
To help you “get up”,
Even if I have to kneel down
So you could climb up on my back
I will, Sunshine I will,
Until my heart stops beating
Because I will always love You

Love Is In The Details
Edmund black Jun 2023
The first time ever
I saw Your face
Life stood still
As I paused
Feel and hark
When suddenly
I got caught up
In a butterfly storm
The flowers and I
Sprang towards
Each other
But the flowers
Were turned away
Baby I bloomed,
I bloomed so willingly
Just for you to have a taste
With your red hot lips

In The Absence Of Light

Your brightness
Can remove the darkness

Think beauty attract beauty -
Here’s to another lap

Beautifully Simply You
Edmund black Jun 2023
Why would you want
        To be a flower
      When you’re already
   Beautiful
A lot of times we forget to stop
and pause and be thankful for
what’s on front of the mirror.

Be yourself
Be beautiful

ALL
Love is a gamble
      I for one cannot resist.
            A thousand memories
                   Of pain and lost
                        Still,
                             I would risk it all,
                                  Over and over again
                                      
    
                      

                                            ALL,

                                         For You.

Trampoline
Edmund black May 2023
A lot of us are depressed
And  feel unfulfilled simply because
We’ve forgotten how to play
How to jump for joy
We’ve walked too far away
From the child within,
We have forgotten the sense of incitement
The wonder that magnifies the smallest
Of things into mountains of joy
We've forgotten how it feels to be Excited about something or
Perhaps about nothing at all
We have forgotten how it feels
To be curious like the moon
To use our  imagination to create
Whatever makes you feel good
Even for a moment in time
Take yourself on a vacation , relax
Kiss the sand with your feet
        As the waves tickle your toes
    And blown away your woes
By simply close both your eyes
          And get lost on purpose
                    For just a little while.

To All The Hearts
Edmund black May 2023
the happy hearts,
the broken hearts,
the sparkling hearts,
the hurting hearts,
the tearful hearts,
the lost hearts,
The confusing hearts
the beating hearts,
the silent hearts,
the tearful hearts,
The sad hearts,
the blessed hearts,
the blooming hearts,
the childlike hearts,
the old soul hearts,
the dreamy hearts,
the beautiful hearts,
The poetic hearts,
No matter the journey
Through thick and thin
as long as we are together,
we are not alone
The game is never over
Rise with grace
And win the race ❤️

Life Is
Edmund black May 2023
Life is a gift
Don’t waste it
Life is Simple
Don’t complicate it
Life is Beautiful
Don’t make it ugly
Life is kind
Don’t make it cruel
Life is happy
Don’t make it sad
Life is free
Don’t make it enslaved
Life is a tree
Don’t suffocate it
Life is dull
Don’t make it sharp
Life is a poet
Don’t make it shy
Life is paradise
Don’t make it painful
Life is love
Don’t make it hate
Life is a poem
Don’t leave it unread
Life is free
Don’t you dare ever cage it.

Untitled
Edmund black May 2023
I spoke to my daughter today
And she made me smile
There is something about a father
And his little girl.

No matter how hurt,
No matter how many broken promises,
There is something about a father and his little girl.

And when a girl becomes a woman...
And she decides to get to know her father,
Not because its her duty
But because she wants to understand herself

She realizes that her father had a father.
A mother. a life. before her, that shaped him,
Made him, maybe even broke him.

she realizes that despite anything...
Her father is love and she realizes that
Making  the choice to understand him
outside of her own feelings, opinions,

Despite the fact that it is not her duty,
Is the most powerful act of love
And the most freeing act of life for the one on the receiving end.

I spoke to my daughter today,
                             And she made me smile

America

Ask me why I’m politically pro choice
and personally pro life.
This is why ….
No woman should ever be dictated
To have a baby or face the death penalty        Or jailed…….. This is ridiculous!

black Superman
Edmund black May 2023
Love sometimes or most times
Could feel like a superpower.
It can take you places
Where the average soul can’t go.
It makes you feel like you can fly high
And  touch the mother sky
Without even having to have a cape on.
I know you can tell by now
I’m a sucker for love.
My name is black, black Superman
Who are you? What's your superpower?
My dear Poet.
There’s three types of people in the world
People who don’t know love
People who wonder about love
And
People who makes love happens
In Every breath they take.

Poetry Happens
Edmund black May 2023
It was like
Yesterday
A century ago
For better or worse
lost in a dream
All sounds suddenly faded
Solitude embraced
Like the waves
from Hokusai painting
A moment of illusory feeling
Second felt like a year
A minute like a lifetime
A lifetime like eternity
Its bittersweet taste dance and sing
around my mind for a while
I guess until it does what it comes to do
I swear insanity never felt so good
separate me from the chaos in my head
Can’t scream must kept perfectly quiet
Or you might wake up the beast in the dark
The silence calls for the mystery
The mystery fed the wonder
And I always like to be fed plenty
Until sanity leads me back to myself
And filled my soul with the happiness
That It seems to craved
May 2023 · 570
You’re The One
Edmund black May 2023

In love with you
In every lifetime

To bear witnessed
To any black and blue

But I am A Dreamer
Edmund black May 2023
As I get older,
What I used to crave for myself
Has fallen like baby teeth
What I desire now
Is so much simple
but holds so much value
I crave peace
Peace for humanity
Peace for all
I crave peace of words
A piece of mind
like Peace with God
Inner and outer peace
peaceful home
Peaceful schools
Peaceful prayers
Financial peace for all
peaceful environment
Peace, peace, peace
A peaceful sleep
A peaceful planet
Like this peaceful poem
under these beautiful peaceful sunsets
Peace For the Ukrainian people.

New Day… New Us
Edmund black May 2023
A lot of relationships
Sadly comes to an end
Because of people’s error
People’s stubbornness
People’s misunderstanding
I mean,
To think that
you know your spouse
Because you cuddled each evening
Would be very ungrateful.
How can you know the woman?
How can you know the man?
They are processes,
they are not things.
The woman that you knew yesterday is not there today
The man you made love to last night, is way gone reborn again
So much water has gone
down the Ganges;
They’re somebody else,
totally different.
So much has changed
Each day anew
Relate again,
Explore again,
don't ever take it for granted.
Cherish each moment
like a new day to love us all over again.

Life is fragile
And tomorrow
Is a big question mark.
Smile with her now.
    Apologize to her now.
           Forgive her now.
              Express now.
                Commit now.
                   Give time to her now.
                     Call her now.
             Create now.
                       Heal the wounds now.
        KISS HER NOW COULD BE AN ANSWERED PRAYER

Imagine
Edmund black Apr 2023
What a wonderful feeling
   When true love speak without
even a word.
       Enchants your world
To a beautiful obsession ,
A great feeling poking through your soul
Everything feels good
        Everything's beautiful
        An indescribable sensation
                     Oh my,
Just imagine
How good it’d feel to witness
   such love
    The Audacity of love to
       Paint you it’s beautiful world
          Without even a word shared
Imagine.
In your ears I will keep whispering my prayers.

Edmund black Apr 2023
True love will soon come
When you clear up the clutter
In your mind and heart.
It can happen in the blink of an eye. Love can come and fill every space that you have cleaned out in your soul.  See, when you set your soul right and you empty out the emotional clutter..when you take time .when the timing is right...when you learn to be whole in and out of yourself...in the moment love comes...it comes complete.  It amplifies your wholeness and elevates you and all around you……. Love always wins.

Baby Forgive Me
Edmund black Apr 2023
Baby , Please forgive me
For my clumsiness  
   For the overflowed
      Cup of heart
          For the fresh
             picked flowers
                With all the thorne
                  still attached
For the never ending
     Love letters ,
          For the breakfast
             In bed,
The foot massage
  To get your morning started.
                    Baby,  Please forgive me
           For the overwhelming,
             Phone messages to just
                Say I love you.
please forgive me
   For all the
      selfless things I do
         the sleepless nights
              Because I cannot rid
                    Not even for a brief
                            The good thoughts of you
                         Please forgive me
                     For my clumsiness
                 Because baby ,
It’s not that I’m a clumsy man
         It’s Just that I’ve never
     Been in love before

And
I’m in love with you

Howling At The Moon
Edmund black Mar 2023
Last night I got caught up
In a butterfly storm
As I noticed the moon
Noticing me,
Sprinkled her love upon my flesh
Brighten up my soul and
Once again, saved my life.
Or, is it fair to say
Maybe It was just my imagination
that got caught drifting away with my mind
Whenever I’m desperately in need
Of a lift upon high?
Or maybe, just maybe…
I’m losing my **** mind.
Either/Or I just can’t make sense of it all
Like this life had enough of me
#edge of life, sadness, depression, anxiety
all at once.

You See
Edmund black Mar 2023
Your vision will lie ,
But your mind has eyes
And the biggest scream
speaks to you through poetry
To challenge your perspective,
whether you believe in the word or not
especially when you’re lost in ignorance
so that you can see reality perfectly clearly
Edmund black Mar 2023
Shotgun in his hand
And roses in the bedroom
Till death do you part.
It is not loyalty to remain faithful to anyone that do not nurture you but rather are controlling and abusive or consistently ignore your needs. No, that is not loyalty, it's suicide.

Heavenly Father, in this beautiful morning I am so thankful that You are able and often do make impossible situations possible.In this beautiful morning I like to ask for forgiveness for the seemingly limitless capacity I have to be foolish. Heavenly Father, please help us live our lives with loving intent, cultivating meaningful relationships with our families, friends, and even our brothers and sisters we’ll never engage in our lifetime. Heavenly Father please teach me in your wisdom,so that my life might be pleasing to You and a blessing to others around me....In Your name I am strong, fearless and blissful. In your name Jesus Christ, I’ll continue to pray… Amen!

Luck
Edmund black Mar 2023
They say that
Luck is
Finding the one Thing
That makes your heart quickened
When you least expected

Like finding the perfect parking spot
Soon you’ve arrived at your destination

Like finding the perfect flowers
At your favorite flower shop
For that special occasion

Like arriving at your front door steps
Right before the storm

Like hitting the jackpot
Soon arrived at your favorite casino’s spot

But I say
luck
Is
finding the perfect girl
of your dream
Upon that very first smile
Fall at first sight
And
press forward
With your foot on the gas
On a road to nowhere
Sunshine’s by your side
And to never step on the brake
Into every lifetime
And
Never look back

People You Love
Edmund black Mar 2023
The greatest thing
in life are the people
We  love , the places
We’ve seen, and
The memories we’ve
Made along the way

Where do you
See yourself
At the end of the day with
The people you love
And the things you like

Do you used the things
And love the people ?

Or do you love the things
And used the people ?

Based on
how you answer
This question
Will shed light on
where
You stand in life

But Understand that
A person
Who lacks compassion
Is their own hangman

It’s never too late to
Find a way to
Appreciate those
Who love you best

That’s the message!

An Invisible Letter
Edmund black Mar 2023
Coveted by love
Who wander & dream
Where my heart flow
In an endless stream
I wanted to love you
But all you talked about
is the moon.
So I loved you in secret
cries my tears at midnight
Every night under the glaring
eyes of the moon and the stars
With envy thoughts, before
I dare to wander into dream again
I write you an invisible love letter
Written in the wishing stars.
if you ever happen to look up
And come across my letters
I hope it’s not too late for us.

From God
Edmund black Mar 2023
Hold on to life
As it a gift

Let life fly
As it is fleeting

Cherish life
As it is so precious

Breathe life
As it is freeing

Spread life
As it is love from God
Sometimes I find myself thinking backwards looking for what was Once known but lost.
The Lessons of the past I seem to have forgotten.
Love genuinely, love fully. Forgive often. Don't take for granted those that truly care for you, those who's souls you connect with. Treat people well. Move in honesty. And keep in mind that we are all fragile, some more than others. Life on Earth is so very brief...do good, be good, before going forward again
Towards whatever lies before me

Come Closer

Like a wildfire
ravishing the forest
Like a tornado

Like an avalanche

Like an earthquake
splits opened the earth
Like the rains
cleanse out the wicked
And like the wind
Sweeping you off your feet
None matches up
to the power of my love within
To a point where
It’s almost impossible to explain
Come a little closer
I would rather show you a lot better.

If You Just let Me

If you just let me
I’ll be the sunny day

in the morning
I’ll be a shoulder
for you to cry on
I’ll be your flowers
Just because it’s Monday
Baby, If you just let me
I’ll be the honey and cream
on your French toast
I’ll be your inspiration
Without any hesitation
I’ll be heaven on earth
On your darkest night
I’ll be the love
you didn’t even know
you wanted
If you just let me.
If you just let me, if love is what you’re seeking for
I can love you too. If you just let me…….

The saddest heart
And the coldest poems
Are teller made for the
Most written poetry’s ever read

If there was
Any poetry for love
As
There was poetry’s for pain
So
I had to pretend
Or
Make believe that
The answer is Yes

My desire's
My craving's
There is only
One song
For I am
A
Happily

Prayers that lead to a lifetime of commitment ship
To help me forget about all my hardships

Show yourself
My  soul will recognize instantly
and
My heart will have no choice
But to love you

Insecure

Love will show you
Every inch of its colors
Harshfully and beautifully
It doesn’t have to shine bright
All the time
For you
To feel it,
For you
To see it,
For you
To find it,
There  is a dusk and a dawn
in all directions of the sky
Too often we wonder,
Where is love?
But offer no safe space
Within us
For it to rest its head
Too often,
We wonder where is love?
While love wonders,
Where are we ?
And why are we
Roaming outside of ourselves
in the search of it ?

Mistakes

I know what I know
What I know is my tell tale
Even when I make mistakes
In grammar,
typos, and in my rhyme
Deep in the abyss of my soul
I know what I know
And It’s what I know
Is my tell tale
Mistakes will take flight
For I am only human
And far from a philosopher
The more mistake I make,
the more I learn,
If you see one,
Bear with me
Tell me a tell tale
I will not take an offensive tale
My mistakes, help me to grow
It's hilarious how many times
I can read my very own work
But I still don't notice a tipo < oops
And it makes me go bersirrk <oops
At times someone else's eyes
Are exactly what it takes
To notice in your little rhime<oops
The smallest of mistakes
Or even the biggest one
Who cares,
what I know
is what I know
My tell tale
It makes it all worth it
