Tori A. Haynes Poems

Beautiful black woman,
What do you see?
I see an African Queen,
You deserve all the riches, Paradise, and the finer things.
...

When I am sad or something is wrong,
it's because of a disappointment.
It's been 12 years and sometin always goes wrong.
I wonder the two people who made me,
...

This poem is in dedication to my father Laymen Johnson

You are truly something special,
Someone who never tries to hurt.
...

This brother here is so fine.
This fine boy is so divine.
He may get in trouble, he may even hurt.
You can't tell,
...

A true friend should never let you hurt.
A true friend should never treat you like dirt.
A true friend should always be by your side.
A true friend should never let you die.
...

How do I feel?
Do I feel happy or sad?
I dont know, I maybe.
Could it be that I am sad?
...

How do I look?
Do I look like a tall tree?
How do I look?
Do I look free?
...

If I felt good,
Do you think I would look so gloomy each and every day?
If i felt good,
Do you think I would feel this way?
...

If you knew how I felt,
how i feel when i see you.
I feel happy when you talk.
I feel happy when we walk.
...

A beautiful day to me,
Is when the sun is high up in the sky.
A beautiful day is when the flowers are in a nice blossom,
In all colors red, blue, purple, and green.
