Phantom Anonymous Poems

today among all days, I am proud to be me,
Our fore-fathers fought to severe old chains,
So yes, I am black, and truly proud to be free,
I am proud my skin stays black, whatever the season,
...

Each attempt failed, every dream taken,
Each hope dies, every love broken,
For every step taken, there are two that go back
For every esteem gained, there is always one more I lack,
...

I sit under these many moods of mine hoping, that she may somehow spare time,
though her fears to this world are well rendered, so is the emotion that compels my mind,
that also compels my heart to plead, to call out the only way it can....to bleed
as it calls to her's, it beats in slow rhythm, as if telling her a tale
...

Today, on this your special day, I give you these things; with you to stay,
I give you what’s left of my hopes, if yours are not enough,
I give you my strength, so you may never know what its like to give up,
I give you my touch, if it promises you full comfort,
...

Still, after all this time, we refuse to change
Living recklessly in the turmoil of yesterday too scared to turn a page
Foolishly embracing the demeaning terms they cast
As if burdened by the rusty chains of an ever lingering past
...

My eyes are glued upon her image, staring endlessly

A delicate touch of her aura unknowingly ensnares me
...

Love is unpredictably, Love is you, love is Continuity, and love is me.

Love is closure, love is real loves no looser, and love will steal.
...

How do I say; 'I'm sorry', when no one chooses to listen,
How do I make her know, My very reason to live is missing,
How do I say; 'My heart died when she left? '
How do I make her believe, every night since then I've wept?
...

He no longer wishes to live for tomorrow, or any promise it may bring,
He no longer waits for love, or the abolition of his sins,
Broken so many times.........now beyond his repair,
He's seen so much death.......what a massive burden to bear,
...
