An eternal dance
Edmund black Nov 2021
All things forgotten
Not one thing forgotten
Everything is dear
The dearly beloved
A Precious time,
the journey of love
Make no mistake
Mistakes will be made
The end
Will never define us
A true bond
How special it is
For better or worse
Take my love anyway
For it was always yours.

Sacred
Edmund black Nov 2021
Sacred You’re ,
Sacred
   As the moon
         The earth
     And the stars 🌟
You deserve not to fall in love
With someone that you cannot keep.

               You deserve only the best
         For you’re A treasured gift from the One above.

If I loved you once
           I’ll always love you
Even if I choose not to exchange with you
   Because I understand the essence
And
Source of Love.

Bird
Edmund black Nov 2021
🦅
         here I am
Sitting on a branch
A bird who just got back
        Looking   around
         The neighborhood
        For a bit of a snack.
       I tweet,I whistle, do what
   birds do with all
  The other birds who flocked here
  Like a bird.The voices in my head
     I would like to stay for a while
     Taking in the sights do what birds do
         In pursuit of delights but as I look    
            Around to my dismay I notice a
              Slower flow something’s changed
               Here on the ground below  
                    It seems like our words
                      Has stuck.     In a rut
                        With no        End in
                       Sight feeding      Us a
               Tasteless     Error 502
         Instead of.  The delight
     Bird food.   That we crave

poetry
Flows from my blood
Causing me to get high
On the word
Dance with the word
Enthralled with the word
Chasing stars with the word
Dragging my mind in a cloud
Of two different worlds
Such a magical world
Lifting me high
Off my feet
Into the sphere of
Magnificent
LightX
Turning on
Within me
An ever-willing high
The greatest feeling
Word is bond
Even word cannot explain
Now I can only imagine
If these feelings were to be
An everlasting place for all to dwell
What a wonderful world it would be.

I’ve seen evil
Edmund black Nov 2021
people ask me; have you seen angels
and my reply is always "YES" ...
I have seen Angels
in the shape of her Love


people ask me; have you seen Evil
As I slowly took a deep breath I reply "YES" ... I have seen Evil in the shape of people who make a lovable person feeling unlovable,
When in deed they deserve a deep and unrelenting love.

So yes, I’ve seen evil!


Speak love and leave her humble
To be loved and understood for exactly who you are is one of the most powerful things you could possibly experience...

Can you feel it
Edmund black Nov 2021
Poetry is not
A talent it’s an attitude
And our attitude is what
Makes us unique
Like the star you re
One
Of
A
Kind

Pas
comme
Les autres

I mean,

Can’t a beautiful sunset,
Or the roller coaster
Of the mountains
Or the vastness of the ocean,
A birds song
Or music in an unknown language
Make you feel? 
Move you to tears even?

Poetry speaks to that part of you.
It is to be felt, not picked apart.
It is to be felt
More so than “understood”.
At times
Poetry doesn’t really deal in logic.
So whenever you read
any type of poetry
Give your mind permission
To wander
And
Your spirit permission
To  just
feel,

And
Let  that be okay
What if the trend that you’re judging is just in the beginning of it’s transformation ?

Silent Night
Edmund black Nov 2021
Silent night
Dark lonely thoughts
Wander down the lane

Far far away
From familiar places

Words rages
Eyes blood shots
Battles fought
At the edge of time

When all hopes
Seems to be gone

Then
Suddenly
The moon appeared
Illuminates
my thoughts
And left me a song
that will never die

Once again
The moon 
Has picked me up
And
gave me
Life

I See It
Edmund black Nov 2021
Wherever love
being build
And grow
I see it

Wherever kindness
Replaces
Grief and darkness
I see it

Wherever bridges
Being build
Instead of building walls
I see it

Wherever forgiveness
Stretching out her arms
Rather than holding
Onto grudges
That last for a lifetime
I see it

Wherever hope
Overcome defeat
Depression and misery
Rather on giving up
I see it

Wherever we can imagine
A better world that is yet to be
Rather than carry a heart
That can never find solace
I see it.

I see it
Whether
The world
See it
Or not.

Be Grateful
Edmund black Nov 2021
Be grateful
For what
You have given
And for what
You have been denied
For they’re both gifts
And lately I’m learning that
The denial is actually
The greater gift of the two
Be grateful or just be.

Wolves
Edmund black Nov 2021
It’s a quarter past 3 o’clock in the morning
Full moon overhead , makes the mood just right
This beautiful song comes on
From my old music box
That was left unplugged
On the old coffee table next to my bed
My old music box always has a bad habit
singing on its own without warning
Even while being unplugged
Almost as if
There  is a ghost sharing
The house with us
But this time
The song released was beautiful ,
Beautiful because it was about love
Or
Maybe perhaps  it could’ve been
About  hatred
Half asleep I really cannot tell,
But anyhow,
In between of the sweetness
Of the artist voice
Us howling at the moon
And the record’s hoarse,
Lies , violent skips
I dance, I dance anyway,
My gentle moves in my bed,
Over, under
And
In between the sheets

And
In her steady arms
And her sweet caressed
I found solace and forgiveness
Until the light of day

Lost Treasure
Edmund black Nov 2021
If you live treasure
On the side of the road
Why are you upset
When someone is smart
Enough  to pick it up
Dust  it off and value it
Too many adults are playing
Around with the treasure
Of others
Treating it common
And then upset
When others value what
They  bucked and scorned
It’s almost laughable
I’ll tell you this much
Try to never take your eyes
Off love
For it is not always yours to keep

Hold strong
Edmund black Oct 2021
Where have all the
Good words gone?

When did we lose our
Imagination that burns
With passion?

When did language go from
Colorful to colorized?

The
Words
Are raging
Slams
Rips
Blasts

Causing poets
To disappear
Like flour tossed
Into the atmosphere

Hold strong
Hold steady,

Besides what are we fighting for?

The best written poetry
In the world
Still yet to be written

It’s Our Anniversary
Edmund black Oct 2021
This is a powerful truth. I can honestly say that since meeting the woman in my life, she has inspired me to push my limits and scale the heights of my abilities.  She met me in the middle of what was one of the most trying seasons. She didn’t fix it for me, although she did lean in and help me by listening and proposing solutions. She put her arms around me and whispered in my ear that she believed in me. Her friendship and partnership have truly provided a covering for my heart and soul to heal and flourish. I’m grateful and lucky!!!
Cheers, To another 10 years into happily ever after.

Literally
Edmund black Oct 2021
The greatest test of my life
Has been to keep a pure heart
And try to elevate others
As  my ship intensity,
Is  rocking side to side
Up and down
As the raging pain of life
Crashes into my body
But what is the alternative?
Yes it’s true
I loose a piece of me
Everyday
In my battle
With this cancer
But every day
The sun light it’s candle for me.
My reason why
I’ll keep pushing forward
While I still can ....
literally!

A Dream In A Dream
Edmund black Oct 2021
I’m sculptured
For one art piece,
She moves for me
As I break plaster
For her,
She is mesmerizing
Like a Picasso’s art.
Nothing I wouldn’t do
For her
It never occurred to me
That someday all
Would suddenly end
Everything I knew
About love suddenly changed
I heard a sound like
Graham crackers snapping
The sounds of my heart
Hitting the earth
The goodbye note was aghast
I was aghast
I was not supposed to be
One of those people
Stumbles into a heartbreak
Because I’m always cautious
How I approached love
Feeling so guilty
Vandalism of the heart
Is for more reckless people
I’m not supposed to be one
I squeezed my eyes
Shut and opened
Hard as I could
Hoping this was a dream
The blood rushed into my brain
As I’m plotting my escape
In this nightmare of a dream
Momentarily
Eyes wide opened
No longer shut
Reality knocked
As loud as it could
In this empty space
I can hear in the midst
of the wind
In a cloudy
far distance
A voice hissing
Echoed against
Every bones in my soul
It’s time to let go
It’s time to move on
In a panicky moment
What seems like infinity
I finally woke up
Into the world I know
With tears on my pillow
And felt the warmness
Of her silky soft skin
Against mine and
Knew at the moment
That a love
Like hers is a forever
Lasting love
Like a fairy tale story
That’ll be forever mine

🔹Someone trying to hide a love 💙

Pillow Talk
Edmund black Oct 2021
I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me ?
Would she be loyal to me
And keep my secrets ?

Would she tell the world
How I always treat her like royalty
Morning , night and day?

Would she breaks her promise to me
And tell the world
How many faces she counted
Throughout the years?

Or
Would she stand up for me
And tell the world to mind
It’s own **** business...

I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me?

Would she tell the world
How I fixed her up so pretty every morning ?

Or
Would she share our secrets
And tell the world
Just
In hours later I have her
Looking like an old rag
And
Smell like *** in a bottle ?

I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me?

Would she whisper my secrets
Softly behind my back to Mr.Jones
About how Mrs. Jones and I
Be dancing the night away ?

Or
Would she be faithful to me
And keep my secrets safe ?

I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me ?

Or
would it be fair to say
Maybe I’m just a paranoid man
Who’s just wondering a little bit too **** much ?
Sometimes I wonder to wonder

Life Of A King
Edmund black Oct 2021
People often
Asked me
Where do
I get my confidence

For me it’s simple

Even when it rains
I have my flare up

Too many great people
Gave up their lives
To produce
The man I am
Today

You will never
Catch me
With my head down

You will never
See me
Bow down
To any man
Or beast

You will never
Find me
Giving up fighting
For the life
I ought to have

His light
Lives in me

Basically
What  I’m trying
To say is,
Know that ,
Confidence
Lives  in me

It’s in my
DNA
To
Be
King

Autumn Morning

On her
Sweet velvet
Flaming red leaves
As I took a glimpse
Into her eyes
Suddenly,
I fall and rest
Oh my,
Such  a beautiful feeling
For the soul,
She feels like fall.
When love gets heavy , there’s no need to fight it….. It’s okay to Fall!!!

Halfway
Edmund black Oct 2021
In my life
I
Encountered
Myriad hurdles
And had/have
My fair share
Of setbacks
Along the way,
But
None of them have
Dissuaded me
From continuing to strive
Nor have they caused me
To consider
Giving up, ever
Instead,
I’ve learned
If I simply
Spread my broken wings
They might allow me the freedom
To soar a few
And fly halfway

My Poetry
Edmund black Sep 2021
5+5=10
2+8=10
7+3=10
3+710
9+1=10
6+4=10
We all live different lives
Have different experiences
Different styles
Different sayers
But in the end it doesn’t matter which path
We have taken to get there,
The answer is the same.

Poetry is about feelings
Experiences, stories, emotions.
Or whatever that needs to come out
Allowing the mind
To express what it feels
Without judgment or shame
Whether you agree with it or not
It is still 👆🏽

My only desire for those on the receiving end,
Is to inspire more feeling.
And
If I’m lucky, challenge your perspective
On a positive note.
We should always run towards the light, as it will allow us to see the path to maturity. As well as the path to growing, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually.
I Love You Too
Smile.

These forever lost moments
And
Start to love

Roses for fists
Chocolate for screams
Diamonds for bruises
Body rub for pain
Kisses for tears  
Puppy eyes for forgiveness  
Some human will give
You the world, and
They’ll tell you that
They love you more than ever
While you’re being destroy
As they Cloaking themselves
In empathetic language
Suppressing intentions
Inhaling the unvarnished truth
Until time becomes silent
Flatlining!!!
It’s not love if it hurts

She
Edmund black Jun 2021
She
-
Within the tears
She
gave me many reason to laugh with myself

Within the fears
She
gave me many reasons to hope for a better day

Within the painful nights
She
gave me many reasons to dance in the morning

Within my broken self
She
gave me many reasons to love
Of what remains in the mirror.

I’m forevermore thankful for She.
I’ve been blessed with someone in my life who has truly shown me love in the most consistent and genuine way. She’s my light that helps guide me and has never led me to destruction..Her smile intimidates the sun. Her heart can move mountains. Her spirit is contagious, despite life’s challenges she never breaks. Her mere existence is a classroom for me to sit in and I’m grateful to be part of her class. Not too many are lucky to have a love like this. God knows how grateful I am to her for my life. May God keep her and preserve her and bless her with the best this world can give.. love You with my all



I dedicate this to you, my love, for loving the perfect imperfection that is me
Happy birthday my love!

Mind Vs Mind
Edmund black Mar 2021
I have spent
My entire life in this
Tug of war
Between the two forces in me
Darkness and the light
Like a man with two minds

Both have been
My teachers
Repeating my lesson

So that I finally
May come to grasp
In this life
A soul needs both
In order to have
A better understanding
the subtle differences
Between,
Potential and growth
Powerful and weak
Courage and fear
Faithful and wicked
Ignorance and wisdom
The devil and God

The choice ,
Is solely
Yours

Without A Face
Edmund black Mar 2021
I wonder if I undressed my soul
Step out of my skin
Stand here bare
On this earth
Without face
Without flesh

I wonder how many people
Would recognize me

Would anyone find me
With only my naked voice  
As it speaks its suffering

Would anyone find me
With only my cries, my wishes
With only my prayers, my love
And my naked soul
As navigation?

I wonder who would be brave
And bold enough
To find the soul
Of a man
Without a face.
I Wonder To Wonder!

The answer is Yes

Try
          To
Tell

                 Otherwise

You shout out thunderously,
Speak to them back

Tell

You
          Still

Kindness
Edmund black Feb 2021
Perfection is an illusion
Unless the subject is God
Strive to be kind, not perfect!
Please understand that the choice to be kind, happy, gentle, vulnerable comes from a place to not allow the pain of life to callous you. We might as well make the madness beautiful. Because illness is a manifestation of collected stress, hurt, pain, trauma and suppressed feelings. Be good to yourself and others, brothers and sisters.

Nothing Has Changed
Edmund black Feb 2021
When I was a young boy
My greatest wish was to be a star
Not a star as in a celebrity
But an actual star above your head
In the sky
Like nature’s best
I’ve always yearned
To be free
A beacon of light
Standing tall
So full of love
A clear path for others to seek
Guiding light shines so bright
A refuge for those enduring much pain
To be someone’s wishes
If I can reach for whatever
It will reach for me too.....
Nothing has changed!

Banshee
Edmund black Feb 2021
Wet kiss on my neck
          Woke me up
Dazed and confused
Wasn’t sure what
               To think
It was like a dream
But felt like it was f$&&@ real

           She
Stood next to my bed
Stared straight into
             My eyes
Pulling my soul
Right before my eyes  
10 inched finger nails
Scrapping into my chest
Stunned and drained in cold sweats
Shaking like an earth quake under my feet
quietly I asked
With fear in my eyes
                 Tears
down my cheeks
    Mouth wide open
       Tongue *******
No words to be heard
Violently shaking and
        Gasping for air
                 But none
                           To be found

With her claws over my mouth
Quietly she whispered
               Into my ear

Son,
No more time for question
It has been a while waiting
        Been forever calling

                     I was
Speechless, stunned
          Words stalled
Eyes popping blood shot red

I swear ,
               It’s like deja vu
             I’ve been there before
                    
This wasn’t just a dream
              Fear
      Had the best
              Of me

            I dug deep down
        Into my soul
                   Searching
          For strength
                   And
             Courage

Finally,
I found
             God
Wiped the tears off my face
    
              
 Maximized
My
Strength
To looked straight into
Her eyes

Quietly I whispered
               Into
           Her ear
          Message from
                     God
If the devil in my past has come
                     Calling
             Not to ever answer
For she has nothing
                    New to say
This one based on a nightmare that followed me into  the real world. One in the morning I found myself gasping for air and with all my being and with God’s by my side I was victorious and Still alive to tell my tale ....True story.....GOD IS THE WAY , LET THE STRENGTH OF GOD RESIDES IN YOU.

Believe Me
Edmund black Feb 2021
Sometimes love
Deceives its own lovers

Believe me,
It isn’t always
Ice cream and peaches

Sometimes
love is sadness
Chaos and confusion
Beauty and madness

But I hope
When the battle begins
When we engage
Into combat
With the winds of
Circumstances and failure

You won’t forget
How to fight for us
You won’t fold
Into the creases of silence
Cower in cowardice,
And
Get lost on purpose

Before love
Gives us love
We once shared.

A Reminder

Sometimes,
You won’t recognize
Seasonal people
In your life
Until your
Season changes.
I believe nature
Does it best ,
Take a glimpse
Into the magical
world of trees
In autumn ...
They always
Try to show us
How lovely it is
To let dead things go
Remember
Things change
People adjust
We were meant
To go through
Changes in other
For us to blossom

Let it go...
.It isn’t worth it if you’re not happy

Smile
You worth it

Grow The $&@& Up

I know God ,
love and nothing else
And that’s enough for me.
In a world of temptation and weakness  
It takes a strong man or woman
To give all his love
To one man , one woman or one person.
This life is brief
We just don’t know where we’re going to find Ourselves tomorrow,
Why not be faithful and kind
To the one who loves you best ?
But the weak hearted man
Is he story of many men
And the weak hearted woman is the story
Of many women.

But the sad thing is
The solution is simple

Love doesn’t test, it gives!

Love doesn’t control, it frees!

Love is wise but never calculating

I know we don’t always see eye to eye

From time to time

Baby , just  pull me close

And love me anyway!
If you are going to love...there will always be the risk of vulnerability!

Trying to avoid vulnerability will only steer you around the love you need!
