O.S. Brooks Poems

Feed my struggle
Where I sleep tonight
Under a star-lit sky
Where my spirit crumbles
...

(Part one) Starry night

After all had settled
There was nothing left
...

A little boy cries
His father is gone
His mother has died
Their stuff on the lawn
...

I remember...
Yesterday
Prayer
Church songs
...

Still, another one fades off in the distance,
Till her sails are seen no longer.
Where she'll go on her gentle push north,
I can't say,
...

Let's dream until we get there,
And carry hope with us,
We'll kiss the skyline after,
We taught the world to trust.
...

I closed my eyes and cried as if the world is not enough
Then asked the stars that shine at night to heal us from above
Yet, in these dreams, we get to see if time can heal all wounds
For now, a friend is gone-my heart is missing pieces too
...

Your smile still holds the essence
Of everything I once loved and knew.
Your walk, your cool persona's quite remarkable too.
...

We've been through far to many days apart,
Yet through them all,
You've stayed within,
The center of my heart.
...

We are but one storm festering
Gathering strength,
brewing up a fight.
We come with fist fills of mud clay proclaiming freedom.
...

To my star beneath your sky,

Do not just shine for me,
...

I am as free as I can stretch my unbent wings from side to side
I am as tall as I can Dream
I sing of liberty
I am america
...

Love,
The reason I would die for you
Lives,
Gentle heart of mine don't break
...

Underneath your chemical skyline
Briefly
I remember
Dreaming
...

They say that love is a woman
The way she changes our agendas
The way she chases her ambition
Even worst than a man does
...

There is a stranger in her bed
Breathing-
Sleeping-
Dreaming-
...

There is a deer in the park
By the duck pond
Who eats as well as I
Some feed it scraps of fast food
...

Where as...
this moment
this unsettled breath we call time
can not be captured
...

I love the way you move my heart
It's stronger when your near
I'd give up nearly everything
To be with you my dear
...

Centrally from my slumbering lover,
The sound that sleeping dreams whisper,
Breaks my heart, my soul, my back.
She dreams passionately about her affair
...

The Best Poem Of O.S. Brooks

Ba-Mid-Dele(African Poem Translated In English About Hunger)

Feed my struggle
Where I sleep tonight
Under a star-lit sky
Where my spirit crumbles

If dreams could fly
Love would carry all
Above the hardship
Beyond this wall

The earth, our mother
She'd never cast a side
My people torn with hunger
Or let our daughters die

Just know that I
-Home-
Am a well of wisdom
-Home-
I set fears a side
-Home-
My courage brings love
-Home-


We cry hope and wisdom
Sometimes it's not enough
I've prayed for rain
While I've wished for love

This wall has spirit
It keeps out cold
We huddle near it
Its wisdom's, old

Our unsung story
Shows the world our pain
I'd build life up
With the prayers that came

But prayers are answered
Far and few between
My pride and I
Are but one great team

It takes us places
Far beyond the smile
It fills us up
With a meal once while

We eat when morning
Brings us food, first light
The little we have
We share with plight

The pail is empty
My tears have dried
The days are simply
Hard to bare at times

Just know that I
-Home-
Am a well of wisdom
-Home-
I set fears a side
-Home-
My courage brings love
-Home-
