Leonard Dabydeen Poems

I remember now
how you visited my room
and touched me with joy
...

Let me touch you now
Before I take leave and go to sleep;
Let me feel the warmth
Of your heart-beat
...

(1)
I open my window,
and my eyes catch the beauty:
sunshine everywhere.
...

I sat on the rubble
with my back against a shivering post:
I couldn't care less
if it were asking me
...

I sat at the breakfast table,
looking at my bruised knuckles
like they were telling me
the fight was not over.
...

If I am a yawn upon your finger tips,
Then let me become your 4-letter word
Ripped from the pages of the dictionary:
Make LOVE to me;
...

Eyes sharp as swords

vigilante Athos
...

hide and lose
seek and find
now hide and seek
...
