LOVE IS MEANT TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME

[A sample poem taken from the spoken word nightclub scene of Eddie Johnson's novel: "Love's Wicked Game"] Love is meant to stand the test of time It’s not all about flowers though lovely Nor being whisked away to stay in foreign towers that reach to the sky You should tell your mate you love them each and every day Love is meant to stand the test of time A warm feeling within your innermost soul that can be felt by the person you graciously hold Whether that person is young or old Yo… Continue

Poem: Incandescence

...Poem originally published with The Black Collegian Online...

Incandescence

A shining child's missing mile
Swells with his sleeping death
Upon the pile.
Chosen to warm the frozen basket core,
Shining child's walked a noble's road before;
Hopeful of vanishing before the cup,
Born banished, he rises

Frederick Douglass

Hi all, This poem by my favorite poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar seemed worth sharing, in the spirit of Black History Month (not that its message should be confined thus): Best, Anthony FREDERICK DOUGLASS By Paul Lawrence Dunbar A hush is over all the teeming lists, And there is pause, a breath-space in the strife; A spirit brave has passed beyond the mists And vapors that obscure the sun of life. And Ethiopia, with bosom torn, Laments the passing of her noblest born. She weeps for him a mother'… Continue

What's Next?

Sitting here blogging entangled in time.... My first book is almost complete, the second is done and I'm scared s***less to start the third one.... My fundings looking low... Is this how this writing thing is suppose to be?.... Not sure which way I should go but, I know it must be forward.... Feeling like I'm suspended in time... Paused and distorted with my world on my shoulders... This writing thing has to work for me.... The typical 9 to 5 just aint cut out for me.... When you see where you'r… Continue

Seduction Intro Poem

His voice is H.O.T. HOT like liquid fire heating up my flesh he's giving me 104 degrees of fever. As perspiration lightly dances across my breast with each drop he's touching every centimeter of my body leaving no spot of my chocolate sweet flesh unattended. Line after line he speaks lights me up inside like fireworks at the brightest 4th of July display. His flow is fluid with a movement smooth as silk tying my wrists to the mahogany bedpost embracing my tender ebony curves wrap… Continue

Hips swaying Feet tapping Hushed silence Movement in the shadows Time stands still. Imagination awakened Foreign languages spoken Accents exaggerated. Momentum growing Smiling lips Laughter echoes No one even notices that I'm sitting here…Invisible. Copyright 2008 Gentle Storm Publishing Title piece from the forthcomin… Continue

A Historic Day....

They said that we were nothing... No more than sheep and cattle... They stole us and sold us on blocks in the center of town... Chained us and beat us while others looked on... They raped us, molested our babies and belittle our men... They tried to steal our identity.... Crush the freedom we held within... Put the laws on our heels when they told us we were free... Put strange fruit upons limbs of trees that made poor momma weep... Had us afraid to sleep when a full moon was in the horizon....… Continue

Fragile Heart

Fragile Heart A heart is fragile and must be protected... I didn't want to hurt anymore So I took the keys and I locked the door And I built icy walls of brick So strong and thick were they That just one look would turn away Anyone who might cause pain. Then you came along and acted like you didn't see the walls, the doors, the lock And tenderly you lit a candle near a block And there you knelt And waited for the ice to melt… Then there was a warmth my heart felt. As brick by brick beg… Continue

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
