Hummm, yummy
Edmund black Feb 2023
I like all kinds of music artists
My favorites are the ones that
Sounds like the perfect meal
When merged into one
From the Korn
To the cranberry serve
with a side of Meatloaf
with Red Hot Chili Peppers
A little salt and pepper
On my black eyed peas
With smashing pumpkins
And a  Reel big fish
Mix with some peaches
Add a some ice cube
To my favorite ice T
After the cake
Would have you , bowling for soup
To wash it all down my tubes
Sounds like the perfect meal to me
Maybe I should invite the bacon brothers if they promised to bring
Vanilla ice and cream along  to my crib

Toi Et Moi
Edmund black Feb 2023
She says The moon
Must be my mother
Because I’m so amorous
I keep her heart smiling

I’ve told her that
The Sun must be her father
Because she’s always  beautifully
Bright and warm
I can only see the sun though her eyes

It’s undeniable  
This love of ours is out of this world
But the earth keeps us grounded

Nonetheless
With over seven billion Souls
Spinning in circles like ceiling fans
Under the blue sky

Still,
We’ve chosen each other
To watch over each other’s back
Like Bonnie and Clyde

Though
Only through love  
Without the killings

Nonetheless,
I swear I would die for her

Madness
Edmund black Feb 2023
I come from pure love
And when my time is up
I want to leave in sweet love
It’s not my place to judge
those mired in difficult seasons
It should be my goal
to judge only my own heart
Is it compassionate enough?
Is it tender toward others?
Is it free of the coldness
This world tries to inject in me
Dignity, love and a hand up
Are the best things I can offer those
who have suffered set backs.
Because I am pure, sweet
Enduring Love,
spreading you light
With a little bit of madness

You’re A Poem
Edmund black Feb 2023
I wrote my first poem
At the age of two
Before I knew how to read.
I read my first poem to you
At the age of five
Before I knew how to love
I confess my love to you
At the age of ten
Before I knew my own self
I committed myself to you
At the age of twenty
Before I knew how you felt about me
I always knew that you were the one
For me
Before I was even born
Because my Queen
Every taste of you
Every feeling for you
Every touch and
Every thought of you
              Is a Poem
Because darling YOU’RE, a Poem.

Dream
Edmund black Feb 2023
Try to find me
And you'll never find
Because I am nowhere
There's nowhere to be
On the outside world
Nowhere,
For I only traveled within
It’s up to you to get lost
Into the rhythm and vibe
Of my eyes, only then
You can find my paradises
Within these kingdom of my worlds

502 bad gateway
Edmund black Feb 2023
Lately I  feel like this place
has become a house
that people has left
a long time ago,
with a lot of sun fading moments
and timeless spells
Where I hear people scribbles
Seemingly like ghosts
from a place I could never reached
Lately I find myself
fighting this game
of hope and catch me if you can
From a place
of fathomless longing
dreaming of words
as they whisper in my ear
to find my way back home,
towards the lingering light
that will otherwise
soon be a memory
among what feels
like a broken house.
Lately I feel like
there’s still a few words left whispering in my head
To keep speaking my story
where our golden light
engraves the secrets of our being upon this broken canvas
No matter what !!!

Once Upon A Time
Edmund black Jan 2023
I was too cold
to love
I was too hungry
To share
I was too disturbed
to see
I was too crushed
to care…
I was too hopeless
to believe…
I was too empty
to feel
I was too proud
to ask for help
I was too weak
to pray
I was too busy hating myself
to love myself
Until words gave me eyes
to see
I could find beauty
in these dark moments

to accept

Insane
Edmund black Jan 2023
Anything I desire
I swear it to the moon
Desires me back
I craved you
I wanted you
I needed you
I felt you
I touched you
I heard you
I saw you
I loved you
And yet people says that
You only exists inside my head
Sunshine’s If true
You’re the most alluring memory
That I’ve ever created in a lifetime.

Smile Bright
Edmund black Oct 2022
Smile through it all
have faith that a positive
attitude creates a path
for you to move forward
Smile to change someone’s day
Smile to change your own day
It’s amazing what one small
smile can do .....  Try it
They say it takes more muscles
to smile than to frown
So lighten up
your load by lightning up
Never fully dressed without a smile
Smile wide smile bright
Smile high smile low
Smile strong smile long
For you’re someone’s light
as they travel a curvy road
It’s destined to give them life
The kind that clears the air
and their strife
It steadies them while they sway
Done right it can surely
change their day
Your smile when done
without much a  thought
an automatic reaction filled
with endless possibilities

Please
Do Smile
No Matter What!!!

U
Edmund black Sep 2022
U
Take chances.. Spend money on the things u love... Laugh till ur stomach hurts... Dance Even if u are too bad at it... Pose stupidly for photos...Be child-like..... Moral…. Simple joys will bring u great peace. Slow down. Look around, without u fearing…. U don’t need wings if u have claws…Death is not the greatest loss in life.. Loss is when life dies inside u while u are alive… U see, when u start a new day with grateful heart, light illuminate from within… And allow u to fly without wings…. U can fly

Be tender to your woman
Guide her but do not yank her
Be kind , protect her
do not treat her harshly
Do not groom her into your Kind of her,
know that perfection Is just perception
Perceive her perfectly in all imperfection
Know that she’s not a scared mouse with no voice
She is growing, blossoming, learning , expressing , becoming who she intends to be
Let her be , feminine , fluid, free like the ocean
Be tender with your woman my man
Be her man she will nourish you
She will love you, honor you and give herself to you in complete loyalty, because you have not tried to straighten what was meant to curve,
please let your lady curve , let her curve , let her curve
She’ll appreciate you , she’ll adore you and
She’ll give you a life that a king could only dream of
Be tender with your woman my man ,
be tender be tender my man.

Courage Is Freedom
Edmund black Sep 2022
This Life is Beautiful
And yet
This Life is ugly

Most time I can feel both
At the same time

But
When  it feels good
It’s my right
To let it feel good

Live your dream
Live your passion
And
Love hard

You don’t need permission
From nobody
To be happy

So go on
Boys and girls
Have the courage
To allow
The madness to be magical
🌹
Cheers to happiness!!!

Like A Dream
Edmund black Sep 2022
I see her brilliance
She’s
Like the shining stars
I adore,
I am mesmerized
As I watched her smoke descend
Dimly aglow
Taken shapes
Like sparkling wishing stars
As the poem of
Her hips, her thighs and her eyes
Calling for me
Seductively
Gliding,
Dancing,
Singing
To my slow lullaby
Until the sight of dawn

A Selfish Poet
Edmund black Sep 2022
I shall be telling this with a sigh.

Lately I come to real-eyes that
I am a selfish poet,
An awful poet
With no care for others
The type of poet that only see
His pain and sorrow,
And ignore all on the horizon
at least that what’s
Being painted on my sky
A poet that thinks and write
his stories only in black
Thinking that the silence belongs to him.
I’m sorry this site will not allow me
To interact with any posts or messages on this site. Sending love your way if this one reach you!!!!

With love always

This Time Is Not The Last
Edmund black Sep 2022
I searched for a voice
To paint you a word
The words flew away
The poems deleted
The messages broken
Passion red
Suddenly turns to black
All dreams wilted
Times screams in darkness
Lost the taste for word
…….
Still
I love you without a voice
The reason always worth trying
Please say you love me too

It’s Like The Sea
Edmund black Sep 2022
Even in my solitude
My silence is a scream
This poetic mind of mine
Is like the sea.. i adore
At times wild.. I Feel too much
At times deep..  I Think too much
At times shallow.. I dream too loud
At times calm..          I Love too much
And at times with no directions.. I allow life to unfold
Blowing my own trumpet
And giving zero f**
About who's lurking or judging
The way the waves dances
On my tongue in the wind!!!

This Broken World
Edmund black Aug 2022
Everyone I know
Seems to be broken
One way or another
Broken bodies
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken souls
In this broken world
And you know what
I am broken too
But if we can wait to heal
Our broken parts and not be tired of waiting.
If we can keep our heads up when all else comes apart
If we can watch the things we gave our life to, broken,
If we can trust ourselves
When all men doubt us
But make allowance for their
Doubting too,
    And stoop and repairing our cracks with dust of gold and hold on
Like a Kintsugi art
Indeed, my brothers and sisters
We can become more beautiful
More stronger than all of the doubters
In this broken world

Exactly because
We have been broken

Edmund black Aug 2022
We
Live in
A world
Where
Boundaries
Divide
Can and can’t do
Near and far
Harmony and dissonance
Possible and improbable
Love and hate
Black and white
They wake up every morning
Convincing themselves
Convincing you
That they’re fighting this war
Along side of you
While enriching themselves
On your pain and misery
Laughing behind your back
All the way to the bank!!

Love Yours
Edmund black May 2022
Learn ways to communicate
what you desire from your
spouse or significant other
without having to compare
them to other women or men
For it creates tension, insecurity
and set up unnecessary rivals
Work together to cultivate
compassion , harmony and happiness

Authentically Mama
Edmund black May 2022
In her solitude’s
She lives a life
Between her shadows
And the stars above

For most of time
She walks a fine line
Between pain
And fine wine

But still,
She finds time to shine bright
Embrace her or hate her
Never a need for concern

For in her peace of mind
She is the queen
Of her own fantasy land
She’s Authentically, Mama

         And longing for love

Verbal and physical abuse is not love....it doesn’t matter how much someone (he or she)says they love you, once they start to get comfortable by disrespecting you, exit! Before things get out of hand...when you love someone, you cherish and respect that someone. I’m the type, even the F word bothers me...I am the youngest of 4 siblings, none of them can say that I used the F word toward them when I’m mad, not even when I was a teenager,  but one thing they will tell that, I keep to myself and stand up for myself! There’s a line you’re not supposed to cross.
I raise my son to always show respect to others, money cannot buy  love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered.
Dear Queens and Kings, raise your princesses and princes right and be an example to them.

Can You Be Honest
Edmund black Apr 2022
Can you be honest when it is ugly
It’s been said that I am an artist
I paint love with my words

Can you be honest when it’s ugly
It’s been said that I might be an angel
A man who offers life
At peace with the world
Or
A man who’s at peace
with whatever’s within
And sees all as beautiful

Can you be honest when it’s ugly
It’s been said that I am crazy
An architect who makes miracles
Out of madness
Out of dreams
How to create love from loss
Paint the sun out of darkness

Can you be honest when it’s ugly
I’m not surprised
Even the sun lies
The brightest of things
Scurrying to bring shade
To it’s own beautiful light.
Only in truth, love can be created.

The Greatest feeling under the sunset

Wolf like me
Edmund black Mar 2022
We seek the secret
Of unconditional love
A faithful soul
The One,
We pray for
To move us beyond our dream
Is there even such a thing
Just a few of the lies
We often tell ourselves: “
We don’t deserve it anyway ”, “
We’re not good enough for it ”,
Are we not worthy of unconditional love ?
The truth is,
Seems like nobody’s want to face the truth
In time we allow our self worth
To fade into the wind
But the reality is
Wolf like me
The One,
We do exist
Although we’re rare
The greatest promise I made as a man was to be loyal and faithful to my wife and the family I helped to create. Marriage isn’t easy, raising a family is tough. It’s work every day. There are highs and lows. But last night my wife was in my arms, and I thought to myself what a treasure she is (even while she was snoring, which is why I was up). Unless God says otherwise, I’m growing old with her. I’m so proud of how we both fight for our marriage

My
Precious memories to and from

Wants to enjoy before this life in me fades away

Every profound moment

Once ocean clear

I place in my lion heart

These memories are so dear.

Times of jolly sentimental cast

I pray to the Lord that they last me a little while

Precious memories for the ones I love

And the ones I will never meet while I have a breath

A connection so deep so profound

A treasured gift from the One above.

I give Thanks TODAY!

Anger,
Bitterness,
Sadness,
Harsh words
What’s your reactions?
What  would you say
If I told you
YOU could create a state of happiness
Every day
Because reality is
Life provides the cup
We get to choose how to fill it
regardless of life’s challenges
And what is happening
In the world around you
What would you say to me?
Would you take the time
To ask me how?
Or would you
Continuing in your bitterness

Lady in my dream
Intriguing and delightful
You’re my dream come true
For sure

I laid here bare
In wonderment
In awe of your allure
Beautiful and captivating
Indeed, You’re

Even in my sleep
You bring a smile to my face

And
Suddenly
Against the grandeur
Of the calm sky

Slowly you turned
And gazed into my soul

I paused
And took a deep breath

For
Even in my sleep
Your presence was
More than enough
To take my breath away

When Words don’t Reach

When words don’t reach
                    Peace is death
                       Pain is life
                             Hell is love
                  
                  Somewhere is nowhere’s
                                 To hide


                 When words don’t reach
                               Death is peace
                                 Life is pain
                                   Love is hell

                    Nowhere is somewhere
                                      To hide.

                     When words don’t reach
                             The whole world
                                  Dance in the rain.

Even when broken
A masterpiece

The last rose
Edmund black Jan 2022
Have you ever seen
A rose unfolds
To embrace the morning sun?

If you haven’t,
Once in awhile
take a moment
To witness her brilliance

It’s like a woman’s heart
That slowly unfold to unveil her secrets,

Grace her with the attention she deserves
you’ll see, she is more than a rose ,
That goes beyond
The allure of her velvet skin,

Her face is a mirror
For you to see beyond your horizons

Her mind is a classroom
For you to dance off beats
Until her music consumes you whole

Gaze into the depth,
Of her eyes
You’ll see.
She is filled with mysteries ,
Rich with magical moments


If you’re beautiful and shine bright
Like a bumblebee,
Plumb deeper into the beauty of her depth, there
You’ll find the treasure of her soul

And
If you’re tender enough
Show kindness and compassion
To keep her grounded as desires
instead of disturbing her peace
for your own selfish reasons

She will open up to you,  always
She will be there for you,  always
Her brilliance will keep you smiling
And coming back for more, always

Claim her or leave her
Love her or deny yourself
The possibility to be bound and still, free.

I see a dying ember
In the middle of charcoaled wood.
Gracefully displaying
its dazzling beauty like stars ,
Which has taught me that even in death
Or downfall,
We too can be dazzlingly beautiful
if we choose to remain lit , for mankind’s to see
No matter what,
Until the end
YOU SEE
!
Edmund black Dec 2021
Your beauty shines through
When your roses are in blooms
Remember your worth.
There’s a difference between desire and value. See anyone can desire you for the moment, but if they value you, you'll notice the difference in their approach in how they treat you. Yes, its nice to be wanted, it feels great, but I'd rather much be valued. It's more powerful and heartfelt that way.

The day I met the devil
Edmund black Dec 2021
Let me tell you about the night
When I met the devil.
You won’t believe it
I remember it like it was yesterday
It was a quarter past midnight
At the local neighborhood bar
Around my way
When Hennessy walked into my life
Oh, how I must admit it
She was like pure sweetness
A charm like diamonds in the light
When she danced past me
She wined like an
Evergreen trees in the wild.
The aroma of her sweet fragrance
Breeze whisking past
Ever so softly
Kissed the sadness off my lips.  
Without delayed
I had a sense of connection
And gratitude for all her beauty
When she finally
Gazed into my eyes
I didn’t know she would be the woman
Who would change my life
The woman I would come
To know today as she Devil
The woman who would turned
My life into the hell that it was yesterday
She was like a smooth operator
Her words was golden
Her eyes was heaven
Her touch was fire
That did not burn
Her taste was eternal
Her beauty was forever
All so flawlessly made
I must admit it
She told
The most beautiful stories
I ever heard
So I thought.
Later on,
all turned out
To be an illusion
she was like
The great magician in Vegas
Full of surprises, marveling
At the magnitude of the sky
And how small in comparison
Suddenly self care appeared to be
I couldn’t tell the difference
Between my desires and my soul
But at that moment at the bar
I didn’t know none of that
All I knew was ,
from all the people that was at the bar
Drinking,
Eating,
Cursing,
Talking
Smiling ,
Laughing,
Caring for one another
She devil
She,
She was the one
Solely one

Smiling at me.
A smile as big as the moon

House of traps

Beware

Breaking free
Edmund black Dec 2021
I can always fit in,
But I’d rather stand out.

It is not worth it
If I’m not happy.
I never quite understand why people fear being alone. I've come to love my peace and solitude and it's not something I'm eager to open to someone else. When you fight as hard as I have fought to gain power over your own life, you are not eager to invite someone else into your sanctuary. So am I picky and discerning about who gets a pass into my heart and my space? Lol you bet your cute *** I am and I make no apologies for it. Not everyone values the treasure of peace.

My Own Story
Edmund black Dec 2021
I’ve been a self assured
Confident man
In everything I do
I’m the master of my mind
And I choose to focus
In only the positive things
Around me
The great people
The powerful lessons
The countless opportunities
I believe in myself and abilities
My thoughts are positive
And bring light into my life
And perhaps others,
Yes At times I grieve I struggle
But I never allow it to break me
I Welcome everyday with love
gratitude and peace
I kept strong
That’s what I do
No matter the pain
No matter the joy
I choose to write
my own story

Love
Edmund black Dec 2021
Speak with a soft heart
Lend with a gentle hand
Lead the dark to the light
Help the fallen stand
For this crazy little thing
Called love
Would never leave no one behind.
