I started my own book of poems based on my life and "Welcome To My World" is its title. It's a work in progress so I hope anyone who reads it likes it and let me know what they think.
Aesthete In Harlem
Strange,
That in this nigger place,
I should meet Life face to face
When for years, I had been seeking
Life in places gentler speaking
Until I came to this near street
And found Life--stepping on my feet!

BLOODY NIGHTMARE
I take a look at myself
Flashback a raging fire that occured
I take a hand to my face
With the blood I can't seem to erase
Only then I knew that someone threw a brick at my face
I read this one the other day. Pretty good but damn you dreaming about catching bricks to the face?? Sorry to hear that, hopefully in your dream I kicked that guys ass or whoever threw that damn brick at my baby lol But I loooove you beautiful and keep up the great work:)

ReplyDeleteBut I loooove you beautiful and keep up the great work:)
because i awoke and i had screamed/ but yet the pain wouldn't go away/ in fact it insisted that it should stay.
ReplyDeletethis terrible pain/ it left a stain/ whenever i feel calm, it resurfaces from the back of my brain/
and oh this beautiful face is going to waste/ because it never get to smile
if this everlasting pain could just go away/ then id be happy for a little while.
(felt an inspiration from yours and had to write. good job =)
Really liked this one, very good imagery.
