Benjamin Davis

Could it be you that I'm thinking about
when I'm in bed, awake instead of sleeping?
Wanting, wishing, and thinking the thoughts
that my heart has been secretly keeping.
...

When the seas of life have tossed me to and fro
or my heart has been filled with regret
I've been rescued by people whom I did not know
or by folks I'd just recently met.
...

Many men today will walk away
from a plain rock that they may come across
but unlike most men, I know that there's beauty within
and will keep it while they suffer a loss.
...

There'll Be A Rainbow
As I travel about this wonderful world
I see God's glory where ever I go
But nothing reminds me of God's love as much
...

Many people tend to think
that poetry is just a written form of art
they think that poets are just simply romantic folks
with sweet love songs flowing in their hearts.
...

I often sit and wonder why
People do the things they do
I am thinking of a day ten years ago
When heaven's population grew.
...

I AM HIS Dream Fulfilled
Martin Luther King Once Said I Have A Dream
That WAS ON August 28TH,1963
BUT Little DID HE Know That When HE Spoke Those Four Worlds
...

Many people today will throw their love away
for many stupid and childish reasons
when it's easy to see, that their mates aren't happy
because its their own selves that they're busy pleasing.
...

Running into you was the best thing I've done
you have been a better friend to me than anyone.
It's really a shame that I came for such a short stay
and this time next week I'll be going away.
...

Hey, bartender, pour me another drink alright?
in fact, you'd better make that two
because instead of going home and argue all night
I'd rather sit here and chat with you.
...

There are a few people who believed in me
and helped me out along the way
had it not been for them and all of their support
I would not be where I am today.
...

The wisdom in your words is astounding
the words that you speak are serene
the power of your love is abounding
to all on earth you are known as a queen.
...

I do not need a special day
to show my love for you
for I'll continue to love you in every way
and my love will always be true.
...

You have been given so much pain in the past
and have suffered so miserably
other men have loved you but their loves didn't last
and now you're expecting the same thing from me.
...

Did you know that you possessed an inner glow?
or that you are a wonderful sight for sore eyes to see
but you cover it up so the true you doesn't show
when you should be proud of your natural beauty.
...

I Do Not Have Strings On Me
You've ordered me around often over the years
but now its time that I set you straight
I have put this talk off for quite a while now
...

I know that you have something to say to me
but you just do not know how to start
I know that you're worried about hurting me
and totally destroying my heart.
...

Now that our marriage is over
there is something I think you should know
I will never again have anything to do with you
for I've gone as far as I'm willing to go.
