Shar Thompson Poems

Where, oh where, does misery end,
who determines your share,
my cup runneth over,
my worlds in constant fear,
...

When you listen through your soul,
the effects that proceed transcends.
Word embodies life in your subconscious.
Your eyes, ear, touch, smell, taste
...

It took deep observation
to uncover a simple revelation
beyond a darkened pathway
appears a perfect sunny day
...

I‘m a sentiment in emotions you feel
I've prayed at the spot where you kneel
I'm a trinkle in teardrops you've cried
tormented in the place where you lie
...

Ode to my gentle peace,
arrived at a calm release,
through intimate means opposites attracts,
from the curve of his fingers,
...

I can’t remember if we had ever seen eye to eye,
but the last night I held on to you and cried.

My views bent to the left yours skewed to the right,
...

Kings, I am your image, your movements in dark shadows, your reflection in shallow waters, In the tears of your abandoned daughters, I am you.

Kings, I am your end before your life begun, endangered species through loaded guns, the agony of your orphaned sons, I am you.
...

The most intricate, mysterious and perplexing entity on this planet,
is a black woman's mind.
The most rejection, misrepresentation, and miseducation,
is of a black woman's heart.
...

Your eyes watched as my chained body is dragged across the great sea.
Brother, it's me!
Your whips and fist blazed down on my flesh,
and peeled my skin until it bleeds.
...

My Contender,
Let me be all that life holds for me,
allow me to achieve all Gods plans and purposes,
hold not a grudge to my accomplishments,
...
