Wilderness Momma
Edmund black Sep 2018
There is this sacred place nearby
And few years past I acquired
A few acres from that sacred place
deep in the woods
Most would call the wilderness
but home to me
So magical of a place
my mind’s eyes disappearance...
Deep In abyss of the mountains
Peace and quiet exactly
What my soul needed
my spirit and heart at peace here
So whenever
peace tries to escape my mind
You could always
find me there, lurking there
Setting up my mind free
and just like a dream I belong
So amazing and sacred
even the greatest artist
could never captured its allure
Perfect place
for a poetic mind to dwell
The sounds of wind blowing
the birds singing
and
the wonderful
sounds of the river caressing
the Rocky Mountains
so peacefully restfully soothing
put my trouble mind at ease...
The Rocky Mountains stone
truly a sacred place to  me
nothing but love
what a place of ecstasy
strikingly when night falls
being way off the grid
In the endless darkness of night
lightning bugs Lanterns my paths
away from the restless tango
of the bright lights
city noises  
and a venue divided by loathing
Here in abyss of the mountains
I am at one with nature
enjoying all God’s creatures
Scrutinizing the wild tango and crawling in
the thickest bushy mountain
while relaxing my back
on my grass quilt
at the Same time cooling my feet
In the creek near the fire
a seeing flare
to keep my soul warm
and with no other care in mind
I allow my mind soul to roam free
In the sacred garden of ecstasy
to escape the here and now
No doubt such beauty
of a place can restore a mental calm
when my feet are on fire
faith cracks peace is no more
and nowhere else to run
Here by the red rock creek
my wilderness Momma
is where I’ll doze.

If
I
Look
Like
I’m
Not
Worried
It’s because I’m not

I’ve learned to
Chase no one.
Chase nothing.
Force no one.
Force nothing.

Truth remains
You’ll rarely have to run after who/what’s meant for you.

My back flat
On my comfy bed
Staring at the

wondering
how many lives
Can be saved

Master how to
love ALL
I’ve noticed No Star Shine brighter than that of the heart ....

The Greatest Gift
Edmund black May 2018
Just like
A beautiful house
Cannot built  itself
    It requires a
Passionate builder

  Life cannot
   Create itself
             It
Requires a creator
           God
 
You need to be happy
       That you’re
             Exist
     For you are
       A gift
From your creator
           God

Therefore it is
  Crucial that
     You’re very
Thankful you exist
         For
There will never
    Be another
             You
In this universe

      Allow your
Spirit to fly in greater
           Strides
              For
    Life is very precious
         
I’ve learned to live
With all my might
           For
       I am a gift
       From God

I no longer believe
       In death ,
The great unknown

Infinite is the life
     For me
As legends
     Never
Truly dies

Dare to never
Backs down
From the call
To a life of purpose
            And
      Victory.
I just wanted to say , you all are very special  We all make a difference in the world  .  It is a blessing we’re Exist :) know your worth!
Edmund black May 2019
Many people
Never achieved desired ends
Because  they refuse
The necessary means!
you must do the necessary in route to the desirable...

I don't expect you to chase me...I expect you to pursue my heart.  
I may be the treasure you’ve been looking for.......

Nature Performance
Edmund black Jun 2018
I’m
Sitting here On the
      mountain top
Watching the sunrise

           With
a cup of coffee in hand
           today’s
   paper on the other
   I’m reminded of the
   Life I ought to have
           And
  How blessed I am
      To  be alive

          Oh my
What a beautiful
         Scenery

Nature surely knows
           How
  To put on a show

The Trees are creaking
And moaning  in the
             wind
The snakes are  hissing
The Goats  are bleating
The bears are  growling
The bees are humming
And buzzing In a
          distance
Birds high on the trees
  Clapping for the rise
            I swear
Excitements had them
Singing all morning long
           Even had
the leaves dancing
            For joy
              And
      Luckily for me
         I was there
With my cup of coffee
   In hand and today’s
    Paper on the other
To capture the moment
              Of  a
Perfect performance
         By Nature
I am so thankful for the sunrise today, which encourages me to be still and reminds me to take in  the forever changing of nature .... Now Imagine That ;)

Hopelessness
Edmund black Jun 2018
They say
Where there is hope
There will be life

 I say
What is life without
Happiness & fairness
What is life without
Proper funding
To buy even the
Basic Things
In life
              
 I say
 In hope
 I see our children
 Starving

In hope
I see our children
Gunned down
Everyday on our
Streets, and even
Inside their classrooms

In hope
I See too many
Heart broken

In hope
I see our blue Angels
Gunning down
My brothers, just
Because
Of the color of
Their skin

In hope
I see our elected
Officials
Corruptions at a
Different level

In hope
I see racism
Evolved

In hope
I see the world
On the verge
Of collapsing

In hope
I see pastors
Appearing
On television
Defending
The wicked

In hope
I see too many
Tears
From our
Mothers  Eyes

In hope
I see nothing
But a path of
Thorns towards
Peace

In hope
I say
I am hopeless

And in
Hopelessness
I am lifeless
       Yet
I’m still holding
   On to hope

If the wind is still
Take my veins
If lightning is still
Take my smile
If the sun is still
Take my strength
If courage is still
Take my whispers
If aspiration is still
Take my body
If art is still
As I am whole
Even when broken
A masterpiece


I am love.

Until Then
Edmund black Oct 2018
Lately I’ve noticed
My soul and mind
Have been uneasy
Since childhood
I love to dream
Sought to dream
I’ve always experienced
Dreams based on what’s
Going on in my life
And if a change is necessary
My dreams is always vivid
I dream in color often
With loads of light
heavy symbolism
And clear meaning
Soon I opened my eyes
I would write them down
share it with the world
In my poetic way
But lately my dreams
Haven’t been the same
Misery past by as i dreamt on
I’ve been losing in all my dreams
Fighting a ****** battle
With a broken gun
My body
Got bruised and battered
My wings were ripped and torn
Continuously fallen in a black abyss
Feeling lost
God was added to the forgotten list
My spirit skipped
as I photographed
The painful truths
As the morning twilight
Makes it presence clear
I lay here in bed
In wonderment
Tossing and turning
Wondering
Why my peace
Has escaped my soul
Sadly momentarily
No tale to tell
Mostly nightmares
I have nothing to write

Striving In Poetry
Edmund black Jul 2023
They say that
Poetry is overrated

They say it’s nothing more
Than a string of letters
Simply arrange
To form a message

But they couldn’t be more
The sky away from the truth

Because for
Us poets
Poetry is a lot more
Than a string of  letters
It is
Our escape
Our reasons to be

It guides us to another world
To escape our painful reality

It is a place where blind men see
Little girls joyride on butterflies

It is a place that tailored
To all our needs

Where poor men strives
All  souls are equal
Humanity’s  at its best

It is a place that elevate
Us poets
When we’re feeling down
Feeling lost

It is indeed our savior
In these desolate darkness
Of our hearts

It takes away our pain
Our nightmares

Where
We rise
Through it
All
~~~
It’s where I feel like home to myself!

Shine Anyway
Edmund black May 2019
Say what you want and do what you say
Forget what the naysayers are saying.
Baby you were born to shine
Don't believe anyone
Who tells you any differently.
Remember
Not everyone will be comfortable
With your sunrise
some people will misunderstand it,
Some people may mock it,
Some people will envy it…
But whatever you do
Baby shine anyway
You were not meant to shrink away
From the glory and grace
intended just for you.
Embrace each sparkle
Embrace every crumbs of the light
Please do not runaway from it
Because others failed to see you through
Soon you’ll realize that
By shining, you'll inspire others
To do the same.
Soon, the world will be brightened
And taken out of darkness
As they begin to realize
And understand their purpose as well
Because of You
Baby please do shine
Travel inside yourself,
You may be surprised how bright
You’re burning inside
Baby let the world feel your heat
Baby, Would you please do shine ?
Don’t be angry when people cannot love you the way you want them too.  It is your sole responsibility to mind your boundaries not theirs.  If you cannot find synchronization then let them go.  Is it disappointing and painful? Of course but no more than continued disappointment.  Love yourself enough to stay in peace.

Love May Take A While
Edmund black Aug 2018
My love
Wherever
You are
Promise you’ll wait
Promise you will
Permit your heart
Not to lose faith in love
Though
today may
Bores you

Shut  your heart
For sometimes
Love may develop
In a while
Find a soul that can tear down your broken heart, replace it with his own and crawl up in deep as you can and be safe.... this is Love!

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

I woke up
with the Sun today.
The dawning
Of a new day awaits
With a new tenancy
On life for today
And I have solely

For it has chosen
Not to pass me by,
Grateful and humble
I am glad to have today

Don’t Let Love
Edmund black Aug 2018
Don’t let Love
Be the reason why
you keep
On giving kiss of life
To a departed bond
If you cannot find synchronization
It may be time to let go...
Your destiny is never tied
To anybody that’s half-loving You
It doesn’t mean that life is over
and you can’t be friends
it simply means
Their part in your story is over
You’ve got to know when love
Is no longer worth resuscitation
For love is a spiritual gift
it’s not to ever be wasted on what
Wasn’t meant to be..
Let It Go

She’s My Angel
Edmund black Jul 2018
Star light
Star bright
I wish, I wish
on an angel
But never come true
or maybe sometimes
It’s not that our dreams
Never realized
It’s just that sometimes
The angel we’re wishing upon
Could very well be the love of your life
Your spouse
And sometimes we may wish
To open our eyes and noticed them
For what they are
Our Angels
For me it’s a dream come true
For by far she is the best thing
To ever happen to me
There’s not a day I don’t
Thank her for choosing me
making me a part of her
And making me feel  like the king I deserve to be
She is my world and always
will be
My Angel
Have you noticed your Angel lately?

When Words Collide
Edmund black Sep 2018
Poetry
is all around me
It’s in the things
I touch
the foods I taste
the air I smell
the wind I hear
It’s in the beauty
of nature I see
And yet
I confess
  sometimes
writing poetry
becomes
such a struggle
It’s like literally diving
with a blind eye
in the sea of words
searching for
a speck of gold
This is no laughing
matter I tell you
It’s virtually like
life and death situation
Suffocating
no air to be found
like a shark
out of the deep blue sea
Because
it seems
at times
Sometimes
oftentimes
that all I want to write
to make poetry
extraordinary
undeniably
uniquely mine
Has already been written
That’s just how I feel ;) sometimes , at times, often times lol.... God’s creatures we all think alike!

When words don’t reach
                    Peace is death

                             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.

His Safe Place
Edmund black Sep 2018
I have fought my demons
And hell to win my freedom
To discover me and to fall in
Love with who I found
My love for myself has not
come out of vanity
or a sense of entitlement
It came
because when I hit rock bottom
I was in so much pain
I could barely breathe
he would not allow me
to give up
I found him  
I fell in love with him
And
I’ll never  covering him up
or reducing him
to make others happy
I promise him
to always be his safe place
Without being his cage
For I am forevermore
In love with the man
I’m becoming!

Freedom

’m not here
To judge the world
I’m not here
To make pretend that
I have all the answers
All I know is that
What I feel is real
I’m not here to gain your attention
For my reward solely comes
From above
And It does not come
To  fill my ego
It does not come
to make me famous
Or win the race
It comes
Solely to filled my heart
By setting free
All the pains inside
The gratitudes
The hopes
The darkness
And the light
All that was meant to be free.

Love Completely

I was told  today
that my compassion is both
inspiring and intimidating
The truth is I don’t really know
what To do with that
Except say compassion
Is a heart muscle
The more you exercise it
The bigger it gets....
You’re welcome
to join me
on that journey!
When you’re busy with your purpose, you do not have the time to gossiping and tearing down others with your tongue .. That type of behavior is childish and wreaks of insecurity ...
Love responsibly , love completely....... Just live!

Lust , Love , Regardless
Edmund black Mar 2019
As the evening blues
Makes its presence known
With calling attention,
Undeniably you’re my therapy
And my favorite pain
I could always feel the magic
In your seductive smile ,
When the night takes flight
On dreams painted with love
With strokes of desire
Lust ,love regardless
As the heat rising
Adrenaline in my veins
I Forever and more crave
For your soft sweet torture
Like a kiss from a Rose
Your sweet and sour kind of love
My desperate kind of love
That has me torn in pieces
Soft sarcastic kiss
Soft spoken lies
Soft magical moments
Soft sweet fragrance of love
Soft lips Stem with thorns
Makes my poetry bleed
Flowers and rain
Laughter and pain
I may fall, I may fly
Still, Forevermore Long for the touch of your sweet lips
Breathing against my flesh as we dance the evening blues
Into the promise of the morning, joy….
Lust , love regardless
You’re independently mine as I am yours ……...

In early morning
Where all the young

           The

She would be
Coming out
For her morning jogs

             Like a hawk
In the sky awaits
        Its pray

Like the bumblebees

   Like the black bears
           Hibernating
             Dreaming
                 Of

                      I bet
             Taste just like honey

    Like that *******
        I once had
     Dreaming of exploring
   Her seductive body

          In my inappropriate
               Thoughts

I can almost taste
          The
       Paradise

   Desperately in need
                 Of
       Conquering her heart
          And rumple her sheets
                             I
            can almost guarantee
                  To be a lot more
              Delicious than her
             Favorite candies
                  
                  Lol
              
Butterfl­ies in the
      Stomach
Couldn’t dream
          Of any
        Other girls
            To help Bring
The animal out of me

          Anyway
I was always there
      To capture the moment
                Yoga pants
Embrace her body
     So perfectly delicious
Where all curves
Screaming out loud
For attention

       Without
A doubt
           She never disappoints
            
            Except
few hours later
       Just to be picked up
              By that fine looking
        College boy
Driving
    His
drop top Benz

              At
that moment
    Painfully, we all knew
     There wasn’t
One threaded chance
          Of  Us
Feeding the beast

          What
a freaking tease
A bag of chips
and a soda
       Always
     Reminds me
of the girl next door

            Just
Enough to get
me exited
But Never
Enough
To completely satisfy
            My hunger.

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.

Hers To Keep
Edmund black Jul 2018
She bathed me
in a pool of
       her  sweet nectar
        Undeniably
             She’s
     the reason for
               the sweetness
of my heart ,
           It’s hers
                To  Keep
My heart is hers to keep......

Knowing The Difference
Edmund black Oct 2018
It takes faith to release
what is good for what is better
There will be the ones that God sends
There will be the ones that send themselves
There will be the ones you seek after.
Knowing the difference
will make
A world of a difference
And
save you
a lot of hurt

Thinking Out Loud
Edmund black Apr 2023
Thinking Out Loud
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
                    TO
                              Begin again.

Fly High With Love
Edmund black Aug 2018
What are you waiting for ,
Why you hesitate when everything
you’ve ever wanted miraculously
shows up
Could it be because deep down
you doubt your worth and ability
Could you often place yourself
In permanent holding patterns
because when your hopes and dreams knock,
why you shy away  
when providence parts the waters
and the sunlight shines on the answer ,
Could your fear blind you from seeing it
Because
sometimes you have to quiet
your mind and dive into the beauty of love
Is there a risk,  Absolutely .....
But it’s better than circling the same things
over  and over never getting anywhere

You’ve got this love bug
Jump ...
Stop worrying about
whether you can swim
when you were born
to fly
Live your life ...take chances ...be a little crazy and fly high with love!
You just never know ;)

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.

Sometimes
Edmund black Jun 2018
Sometimes
Some relationship
Doesn’t workout ,
          Simply
Because
           Sometimes
We are giving things
In our lives
Way before we are
           Ready
To receive them
         And
Sometimes they
         Just
    not for you
       To keep.

Just Believe (10w)
Edmund black Aug 2018
If you truly
Believe in
Yourself
You’ll
Find
Your
Peace
I’ve already come so far from where I started.... it’s impossible for you to discourage me. One thing that I taught myself to understand better was that , true happiness comes in the form of feeling good about yourself, without the need of anyone else’s approval. Live In Peace.... What meant to be will be!

A Needle In A Haystack
Edmund black Jul 2018
I’ve always been
Of the mindset
Anything That
becomes prevalent
becomes diminished.
I’ve earmark my stamina
For allocating love and
Remolding the monocles
Of a culture that glorify itself
On being barbarian and unstained
I want to be that rare healing
Salve that when I write
The hearts and minds
Of others are soothed and healed
I’ve noticed, it’s increasingly
difficult to stride through life
Without enduring battle wounds
From disappointment , failure
Crisis , judgment and brokenness .
I rebuff to be a prevalent setting
Rather a squishy and mending spot
That sits with the broken , sees them
Mend and help them rise through
My expression of love.
I would rather be known for love .......

Missing
Edmund black Oct 2019
In seeking
Your love
I’ve made my way
To the realm of wisdom
A kingdom where self love
Seats proudly on the throne
Where I’ve discovered
Under the cold sun
Deep In the abyss of a cloud of your counterfeit love
That I’ve been one of the missing all along
Where I’ve been calling thunderously to be found by You
Didn’t you hear me calling for You ?
Sometimes you have to let go of things and people you love in order for you to be found.This is never easy.  In the words of one of my mentors, “You are pruned if you do and pruned if you don’t.”  In my own life, I’m currently grappling with letting go of something that I would rather not in pursuit of what I truly need and want.  These decisions get easier as you mature and become keen on what you need and want most.   It is my greatest prayer that we all live authentic lives, even when it cost us in the short term. You can do this and you will be stronger for it.

My Brother’s Keeper
Edmund black Jun 2018
Watching the news
    so hard for me
My tears, my anger
       as  genuine
        as they are
      Seem so cheap
      How could we
   ever make it right?
       The stripping
          Of dignity
     The humiliation
There are no words to  
even describes the atrocities
                Done
      Do I feel guilty ? No
                   For
I did not  put them through this
      Do I feel responsible? Yes
      Do I feel ashamed? Yes
         My heart is crying
   We all need to remember
         Respect and honor
      we owe  to each other
      remember sometimes
    We make the right choice
       for all the wrong reason
          sometimes we make
            the wrong choice
       for all the right reason
       We can make this right!
Please let your voices be heard at this disastrous border war going on ... we can do better , We’re Americans... This is not about Politics  rather Human Relations... GIVE LOVE!
