Black Man
Tears slowly falls down from her eyes After the doctor says, “Congratulations, you’re having a boy” Suddenly, a glimpse of the future flashes before her eyes Revealing the harsh world that awaits her little boy Unbeknownst to him, the doctor smiles confusing her tears for joy She forces a smile that fails to convey much…

Black Woman
Her mind travels a million miles As she stares in the distance with sad eyes When questioned, she lies about being okay, through fake smiles Yet, her thoughts grow more troublesome as time flies In her thoughts, she’s cursing the color of her skin Society has deemed her big lips, wide nose, nappy hair, and…

A poem for me and about me
Oh, my heart is filled with mixed emotions. It is like an open letter that asks; who am I? My mind inquires: “can you riddle me this”? And I respond: “but, I remember”. With eyes on me, I can only smile while reflecting on life lessons. In my eyes is blind trust seeking a…

Eyes on Me
It’s funny how everybody is watching you Captivated by your good looks But, your eyes are on me Like the hot summer sun shining at midday I feel your eyes burn through my soul Baby, keep looking my way Don’t look back, keep your eyes on me Flustered by the emotions From your piercing gaze…

Dreams come true
I’d travel a million miles and back Until I get to you I’d climb up mountains high and low So I can fall in your arms I’d sing lullabies all day and night To see that twinkle in your eyes I’d make silly jokes when you are sad To put a smile…

Oh, my heart
When in need, I call you, I hear … silence Oh, my heart, is doubting Yet I keep hoping that somehow you hear me Oh, my heart, keeps trusting Have I done you wrong? Perhaps, you’re ignoring me, my God Oh, my heart, is aching There you go again, putting obstacles in my way Oh,…
