Vince Rogers Poems

to Never be afraid
to Never feel lonely
to Always rest assured
to Seek God only
...

hidden away safe

elusive as past promise
...

Grown and Sexy means nothing to me

That li'l smilin' boy is who I strive to be
...

Taught in school to respect 'Officer Friendly' - the People's friend,

yet another Black child's life quickened to a senseless end
...

Young Robert was quite lazy and did much to avoid work

Many hung around him, yet most thought him a real jerk
...

Seeker, poet, priest, Saint John

Musician, genius, addict, Madman
...

This ochred cloth shrouds me with shreds of holy virtue
Yet safeguards me within solitude from earthly sorrows

Dare I lift this veil and test my faith in the furnace? ? ? ?
...

As you stride by, I close my eyes to behold you before you pass into memory

I stare at the sun and your flawless silhouette leaves an onyx impression against the clouds silver lining
...

Weeping joy, babies born

Wailing pain, marriage mourn
...

Longing
James Said it Best
....Nothing without a Girl
It’s Even Hard to Breathe Sometimes
...
