The Coli's Poetry Thread

[Prynce]

This is a thread for people like myself who enjoy writing, listening and reading poems.
So post some of your favorite poems or post the ones you have wrote.

I'll post some original stuff later but for now I'l link some of my favorite poems

Alone
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone - Maya Angelou



The Fear in the Heart of a Man

against an attacker I will boldly take my stand
because my heart will show fear 4 no man
but 4 a broken heart I run with fright
scared 2 be blind in a vulnerable night
I believe this fear is in every man
some will acknowledge it others will fail 2 understand
there is no fear in a shallow heart
because shallow hearts don't fall apart
but feeling hearts that truly care
are fragile 2 the flow of air
and if I am 2 be true then I must give
my fragile heart
I may receive great joy or u may return it
ripped apart - tupac

Just two of my personal favorite poems

Black Woman
The day I met u I saw strength
and I knew from that point on
that u were pure woman 2 me
possessing a spirit that was strong

I want smiles 2 replace the sorrow
that u have encountered in the past
and since it was strength that attracted me 2 u
it will take strength 2 make it last

My negative side will attempt 2 change u
but please fight that with your all
it will be your strength that keep us both standing
while others around us fall - 2pac

I Wrote A Good Omelet

I wrote a good omelet...and ate
a hot poem... after loving you


Buttoned my car...and drove my
coat home...in the rain...
after loving you


I goed on red...and stopped on
green...floating somewhere in between...
being here and being there...
after loving you


I rolled my bed...turned down
my hair...slightly
confused but...I don't care...


Laid out my teeth...and gargled my
gown...then I stood
...and laid me down...


To sleep...
after loving you

Tired of screamin 'bout injustice with no results
How long can we yell help and not go hoarse
Yet the one's outside lookin in think we're beating a dead horse
Like just shut up already damn
Yess it's hard so haard bein black in Amerikkka
We knoow we knoow that song
The police be killin without warning (uh huh)
gov't crack whips and they don't care (mmm hmm)
Jobs shrinks nikkas back down to crack a lackin
kids ain't safe nowhere outside or in
Yeah that shyt cray cray *yawwn*
And your point is...Who the fukk cares??
Everybody go thru somethin
it is what it is
How long u gon' wine and bytch
fukk you gon' do about it
Let's see if u really 'bout your shyt
Do we vote vote vote
Or during the wait do we justify hope to hang on
Just to find ourselves lynched by rope
Still burying our young while the grands say pray baby pray for better days

 

[Worthless Loser]

Oh man. I have a catalog of stuff over the years. Normally end up taking long breaks (up to 2 or 3 years at times) to write stuff. Not sure if its a good idea to share my stuff publicly here since poetry in general can be used against you by some of these miserable dudes on here.

Hope to read some good stuff though.
