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

Before It’s  Too Late.

Truth Remains
Sometimes I wish myself
Without eyes
Because
Outside of my illusion
I see only chains
Pain and anger
Disease and war
Poverty and hunger
I see fear
False premises,  like words that could ****

Truth remains,
Sometimes
I wish myself without eyes
Because
My eyes have seen more than they can bear
A curse as a gift
When reality bow before me
Kneeling on raw salty ground at my feet
Begging for compassion

Truth remains
I wish myself without eyes
Because
The truth is never gentle
It shakes, disrupts, rattles, destroys
It purifies, binds together, builds-
And quite frankly , my hands are tired

I wish myself without eyes
Because
Truth remains ,
My lips are tired of pretending
Wearing a smile large enough
For my intellect to drown in
But only when other’s eyes are focused

Truth remains
I wish myself without eyes
My love is wide
My vulnerability is harsh
Have me feeling lonely
At peace,
At war,
Aching
Knowing
Needing
Wishing myself indeed
Without eyes

Because truth remains
I wonder how
Beautiful life would be,
For an illusionist to be free of sight

Love changes people
It sculpts us into someone
Who understands more deeply,
Hurts more often,
Appreciate more quickly,
Cries more easily,
Hope more desperately,
Loves more openly
And lives more passionately.
That’s what love does
That’s what makes love extraordinary,
That’s my kind of love
That’s black love.

You May Not Know Me But You Will Always Feel Me 🖤

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 !!!

If you’re wondering if there is poetry for love
Like there is poetry for pain.



The answer
Is
Absolutely
Yes

We
Don’t prepare
For
Our  best in life

But
We have
To be prepared
For the worst

The
Man or woman
That loves you
At
Your worst

Is
The one you give
Your best



That’s true love!
I can only  hope you acknowledge that , before They fade into the wind

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
ALL
Edmund black Jun 2023
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.

It is true that
A poet lives many lives.
Because,
In my mind
I have been living
Three separate lives
Simultaneously
Interrogating  the presence of
My individual realization,

In the mirror I am
This voodoo man
That weaves a spell
Turning heaven into hell,
Like the Wild Wild West
Pain, sorrow are his paths
Where He cries everyone’s tears
A vulnerability that’s too real,
His collective realization ,

In the mirror I am
this understanding man
Who lingers in a pathway
That offers solace
A momentarily reprieve
From all that ails him
Where laughter still comes,
My higher realization ,

Then again in the mirror
That man with the wings
Where I stay above all
Turns hell into heaven
And can make all pain disappear
Where the light remains lit
In the darkness that is mine,
Sweet magical man
With a magical heart.

This man
In the mirror all at once!

People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. Learn to speak positivity into your words. Keep the negativity out of bounds.

There are so many ways to be beautiful. Don’t forget to Explore the less obvious ones.

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!

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 .......
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.
Edmund black May 2018
I

          Find

Freedom

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.

—————-
Roses are red violets are blue
Remember way back when , when patience had a hold of me ?  
I remember how I drove you insane when I used go fast
Well, boys being boys , I always wanted to be the first one to get to the finish line.
Like driving a brand new automobile ,
Selflessly always thought I was the only one on the road. Taking advantage of the situation, burning rubber and left you in the dust.
Could never understood why you wouldn’t chased after me
To emerge and merge with the motion of the moment
Why it took you so long to catch up with the waves of the motion .
Could Never understood  why you wouldn’t leap forward, as I travel across the stars,  the moon , the whole universe as I chanted in tongue
Girl lol  I remember the sour on your face but I never understood your reason before more of the great unknown becomes known. For it reveals a new understanding deepening the range of clarity. expanding scope and the warmest mystery. Now vow to ignite the guiding light of passion in a moderate submission while gazing into one another
Now as I accept my invitation to welcome the full scope of the landscape . Now I swear , pledge to appreciate and love the motion of a steady ***** prolonging ride
Now I pledge to love and accept the importance of time as I enjoy a little longer the magic in the mirror, listen to your whisper in the wind, feel your rain upon my skin and become one with the heat of the road as we enjoy the allure of all the butterflies when the roads finally merge and arrive simultaneously at the end of the rainbow. like the hands of time as the cuckoo clock sings another favorite midnight song, roses are red , violets are blue
Girl you’ve always been my favorite song when we arrived at midnight …… I only wish I could   Stop the hand of time and park here forevermore!

Life last only
a short time

So few love
Can ever be shared

So few words
Can ever be said

It is not an illusion
my reason why ,
I bleed poetry

To make my life magic
Before I fade away
Let my pain now die
Grant me one wish
I ask of thee
The gift of poetry
To keep me alive!
Edmund black Feb 2021
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

How will change
Will ever come
Without purpose
How will purpose
Ever be realized
Without strategy
How will strategy
Will ever impact
Without endurance
I’ve watched the
Indignation and
Rhetoric concerning
The rampant injustice
Facing many in the world
Wane in the past
Hour
In the past
Day
In the past
Week
In the past
Month
In the past
Year
In the past
Decades
I’ve worked
In many places
Where the injustice
Is so horrifying
That there are no words
To qualify it
I’ve seen people
Bear up under
Horrific persecution
Even to death to affect
Change and hope
For freedom
Do our tv really
control the level
Of our conviction
Do the powers that
Be really have that
Kind of sway over
Our passion
By all means have
The purpose of true
freedom for all
But please I beg you
Have the strategy and
Do not diminish
The purpose by flailing
About with no directions
Having purpose and strategy
Understanding we’re against
A system that has controlled
Indoctrinated And victimized
For Well over a century
It won’t be easily overthrown
You must have endurance
Let your hearts swell with
Freedom and don’t stop
Until we realized that
We are free but we ain’t free at all.

When
I find you ,
Believe me
I will know

I will feel your
Spirit in my skin
We will alter reality
And
Create forever

Do not hide your face
From me
If you think I am the one.
I can go there if you’re ready
But are you ready?

Who
Are you if you are ready
If you’re ready, I’ll be ready
Make me your art
Make  my heart as one with
Your own beating heart

I can already see where
We begin and we haven’t
even begun

It seems like
You’re already familiar
With the sun
Unafraid of the Sky

Matter of fact just lay
Just stay a little bit longer
Let’s watch how the tides rise
How I rise a little bit stronger
Watch a little magic in the sky
Watch how the vibes rise
A little bit deeper
Penning poetry to your
Heart beat

Art speaks in tongues
Your mouth so beautiful
Life is beautiful
So ugly so beautiful
A billion holes in my heart
But  it still bleeds sun

Take from my heart
Warm yourself
With the longing
Can I set in your arms
Rise again in the morning
But only if you’re ready
Are you ready?
I don’t want you to pretend
I want you to be sure
Are you’re ready ?

Who are you
If you’re ready?

When your heart
Knows for certain
I’ll be right here
Waiting to be read
As
We dance the night away

only
If  you’re ready
Are you ready ?
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

And

I’ll make you mine

Edmund black Dec 2023
In your absence
I get tired of being
Anything at all
I get wounded
by my own selfish
desires to be,
I imagine myself
Falling on purpose
Tearing’ up my heart
Into a million pieces
Just to wait and see
if you would come
And pick me up,
As always said
You would
If so ever I fall
So we, you and I
Could drift away
Onto a brighter sky
Without a trace of clouds.
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
Edmund black Oct 2021
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!!!

I’m blind and nerdy
But I can be your paradise
If given a chance.

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
Edmund black Mar 2020
Baby
It’s not what
I’m  looking at
That matters
It’s what I see
I want my eyes in your eyes

Baby
It’s not what I’m looking at
That matters
It’s what I hear
I want your voice
In my ear

Baby
It’s not what I’m looking at
That matters
It’s the joy you put in my heart
I want your laughter in my mouth

Baby
It’s not what I’m looking at
That matters
It’s what I feel
I want your skin
Upon my skin

Baby it’s not what
I’m looking at that matters
It’s what I desire
and
all I desire

Baby
Is
You
Edmund black Mar 2019
Baby
can you see
Through the tears? 

I can see the pain
Through your smile
You think you hide

I could see past
The illusion
in your eyes

Dry your eyes
Rise anew
Because baby
I see you
And
I feel you
With my soul

It is not an illusion
I want to love you forever
In a billion different ways

Darling
My only only fear

Forever,
may not be long
enough

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.

Remember jumping
on your bed as a kid ?
Today I did just that
for a whole two minutes
and thirty two seconds
with all my thitrty-two years
Six foot two inches
hundred ninety-five pounds
of my awesome self
Felt really great
Brought back
a lot of fun memories
It is a must
Once in a blue moon
You must allow yourself
To feel like a child
all over again
Sit on a swing and try
To remember how fun it was
when you were a child
I pledge it’ll bring a
Smile to your face
We all go
through difficult
seasons under the sky
Nevertheless
if it’s meant to be
it’ll be
just let it be
Positively affirm yourself
feed yourself with joy
and goodness
and feel like a kid again

When we are rising , together

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

Deep blue sky
where the poetic
mind dwells

Sun smiles bright
soften my heart away

Moonrise amorous ways
always take my breath away

Stars like diamonds
shines all dark hearts away

Oh how beautiful
they’ve always seem to be
In their glorious ways

Nevertheless
none compares
to the beauty
from the glow
of her heart
I keep

Love don’t live here
I am lust in disguised
A reckless man,  
A reckless lover
Black clouds underneath blue sky
A monsoon, soon underneath your eyes
A shaky terrain
For all hearts that ever dare to feel for me
A drop of truth
Inside a bucket of lies
Baby If I were you
I would run away from my lies
Like tear drops against bruised skin
For not a single seed from your basket of love
Could ever grow and blossom here
In this deceitful desert of my soul
A soft warning for the sake of your heart
Out of a last drop of an empty bucket of truth
Baby I can only pray
It reaches your heart on time
Before you fall!

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.

Whatever you believe ,
Whatever your heart desire ,
The answer is Yes

      if              
            ever
The

Try

Tell

You shout out thunderously,
Speak to them back
             And
Tell

You
          Still

        Believe


Would you at least please try.

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.
Edmund black May 2018
Let your word
       Not be wasted
             In the ears of stubborn
      Let your silence
             Silence  the noise
        Of ignorance and negativity.
                      be still
           Is to be at peace with  yourself
                           Know your worth
                                      Trust the process
                                                 Stay in faith
            create the future you ought to have
                                              And where you ought
                                                                ­To be.
What you hear she said he said is none of your business. BE STILL!

A negative mind set is equivalent to destruction.
Be positive, open your mind and embrace everything you encounter.
                         Someday everything will make perfect sense, after all you are Breathing.
So for now , laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and always remind yourself that everything happens for a reason .
                          Just sit  tight and wait for your
Reason to show up, it always does.
