BLACK


Whose eyes are they
that look deeply within me
can't turn away
enthralled I stare
back into his.
BLACK

Can he see what I'm thinking
or has he seen my past
the eyes can reveal
completely your life path.
BLACK

Do you want to know who I am?
Then come to me and I'll stand
firm with fists clenched
and walls too high to bare
for those too weak to see,
for only the strong to break free.
BLACK

I know you've come from far away
journeyed through your own land
seen and played with many others
why do you stare so
what have you found
a kindred heart?
Haven't you swam that way before?
BLACK

You wrote another poem a few days ago which brought out the darkness . . . Just wondering if this is about the same person, or are you just penning fiction. It doesn't sound like fiction, it is much to heartfelt.

This is the other one I am thinking about . . .
"He was there
dark eyes,dark hair
full of life
not one to stare."

It’s a tough world for the innocent, that’s all I can think about. Fine write, ebonygirl.
