Benjamin Davis Poems

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.
...
