Black Poets Speak Out - Tumblr Posts

On days like this I sit on my rooftop terrace and reflect on my journey and the actions that were took to get me here. My emotions has been in the state of numbness praying I’ll be able to feel again. The goodbyes with no words... no explanation to why the continuous disappointments like I’m supposed to just know that you care with words but you never include action verbs. I need a cleansing and at this moment I can see the universe bought me to this location, a place to cleanse and be healed of my fears and the numbness. Rain on me...

If I'd have known Sunday morning

That you would be gone

I would have never come home

I wouldn't have answered my phone

To hear the voice at your tone

I knew that something was wrong babe

The cops the one who had told me

That you was alone inside an empty room

Identified you as my baby...

- Marsha Ambrosius

All I do is lay around

Two ears full tears

From looking at your face on the wall

Just a week ago you were my baby

Now I don't even know you at all

I don't know you at all

Well I wish that you would call me right now

So that I could get through to you somehow

But I guess it's safe to say baby safe to say

That I'm officially missing you.

U R the omega of my heart

The foundation 4 my conception of Love

When I think of what a black woman should be

Its u that I First think of

U will never fully understand

How Deeply my Heart Feels 4 u

I worry that we'll grow apart

And I'll end up losing u

U bring me 2 climax without sex

And u do it all with regal grace

U r my heart in Human Form

A Friend I could never replace

I met this girl at a dinner, we conversating

She beautiful in the face, but her voice is truly amazing

And plus she write her own shit, becoming so close knit

Smoke up and talking to eat, she helping me focus

No Anna Nicole Smith, she getting hers

Niggas taking props like a musical live and learn

She say she feel alone all the time, I'm similar

I meet her in my dreams on the moon, I visit her

- Childish Gambino

In the heat of the night I long for your touch. Our bond is sacred and secure no one will ever compare. Remember the day we kissed in the rain?! Transferring our energy intertwined between our lips that’s the very moment I felt your pain. You told me ‘charge it to my head and not my heart’ and I loved you with my mind first and then my heart. We meet every Thursday on the bridge... today is a special day a day we must sit back and reminisce. A special vibe from Harlem right to the BX. Our vibes are forever unmatched♥️

What’s... what’s the next song?... the one about me♥️

The most fragile part of me,

Nurses our strongest connection.

You live in my memory.

With a philosophy,

That now offers me completion.

I’m so well.

And it’s strange to be.

I’m torn by misdirection.

You’re my ambassador.

You personify my admiration.

So beautiful.

I live for you.

As you live for me.

Sometimes you make me smile...

I never promised you a ray of light,

I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday,

I give you everything I have, the good, the bad.

Why do you put me on a pedestal,

I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below,

So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there.

I adore mi amor I’m sorry baby but I got to go,

I hate to leave... leave you alone but by

tomorrow I’ll be gone.

I’ll be back soon one day and every night

for you I’ll pray.

That you will forever be in my arms, til I

return we’ll never part...

Tell me why you can't control

The feelings you desire

Burning all my bridges

As you set my walls on fire...

You weren't the boy I thought I knew

Maybe I was blind, I was young, I didn't have a clue

You were the topic of my lunch times

I'd bore the girls about our chance

And get upset when you didn't text back

I was warned by my brothers to find another lover

Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me

And I was warned by my brothers to find another lover

Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me

We all want a teenage fantasy

Want it when we can't have it

When we got it we don't seem to want it

We all want a teenage fantasy

Want it when we can't have it

When we got it we don't seem to want it

Please tell me this love that we share doesn’t have an expiration date

You're a man with excuses

Cause we've had something real

But it was only what I feel,

Oh you're man with your muses

Always wanting something new

And I was just someone that you could use...

Why you gotta be my unrequited love
