Book excerpt: "In desperate need of your soft sweet hands, By dead moonlight burning your mysterious eyes, I cry a soft whisper of yearning,To be close to your enchanted visage. I breathe the air of melancholy,In the dark rooms of trapped love, As you fade away from your sensual mouth, Like death smiling from the roots of hell. I can only see the slight crevasses on your dark turquoise eyes, Spreading to infinity by the swiftness of time, Even faster than the black tears dropping from my soul, Even faster than the black veins poisoning my heart. They are like pearls, like precious jewellery, Their expensive colours taste like acid in my mouth, Its pleasure enclaved with cold obscurity. ...I took a black card from a broken table, The slight lines of tears circling its wooden artistry, Like small pilgrims walking through the lands Of pure heaven and troubled hell."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Black Rose: And Other Poems Introspection, carried too far, may wreck the soul of a man, but without it a poet is merely a versifier or an experimenter, dealing with the laboratory instead of with life. For him there must be no eternal verities except those he discovers and proves to himself. He can take nothing on trust. His life-work is to stir the decent dust about the world - his own world as well as that of others - and from the pain and chaos results his philosophy.

Black women are exceptional. To honor how Black women use their minds, talent, passion, and power to transform society, Harold Green began writing love letters in verse which he shared on his Instagram account. Balm for our troubled times, his tributes to visionaries and leaders quickly went viral and became a social media sensation. Now, in this remarkable collection, Green brings together many of these popular odes with never-before-seen works. A timely celebration of contemporary Black figures who are making history and shaping our culture today, Black Roses is divided into five sections—advocates, curators, innovators, luminaries, trailblazers—reflecting the diversity of Black women’s achievements and the depth of their reach. These inspiring changemakers are leaving their mark on the world by creating new beauty in their respective art forms, heading movements, fighting for equality and to change the status quo, and championing new definitions of what’s possible in every meaningful way. Green lifts them up to create meaningful connections between these figures and our own lives and experiences.

Download or read book Black Rose Dying written by Edward Val and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLACK ROSE; DYING is a book of dramatic and insightful poetry that was written through the eyes of a soldier who has been deployed to Iraq three times. Edward Val's poems are inspired by the emotion, passion, and drive he felt after being exposed to the horrors of war and the inspiration of bravery. The reflections revealed in this book of poems span the four seasons as they release trapped feelings and express hard-to-face truths. It is easy for soldiers who are exposed to so much devastation to view the world as a place of darkness, but moments of light penetrate briefly and powerfully, and that is what Val's profound poetry is made of. EDWARD VAL writes in order to release emotions and express himself. Black Rose; Dying was written over a two-year period while Val was mostly deployed in Iraq. Val is in the U.S. Army and is a full-time college student, and this book of poetry draws on what he has witnessed, both good and bad. Val grew up in Spring Hill, Florida, and is now stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Look forward to the author's next book, Of Tooth and Nail, the first installment in a three-volume fantasy novel series.

Download or read book Roses from the Divine written by Carol Coles and published by Page Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects poems of everyday people who have risen from the pit of life to excellence and people who have fallen into the pit of life and may never rise up to their human potential of excellence. Carol Coles has been touched by Roses from the Divine, experiencing life changes from the ghetto and rising to a measure of excellence by traveling across the United States from the East, Midwest, and finally to the West, settling in California. Each city held its own beauty, challenges, tears, and love, with every divine rose that came into the author's life, then faded, leaving life's lessons that can only be told through poetry of the written word. Roses from the Divine moves from life's observance of women who rose out of nothing to claim their place in the world as written in the poem "Women of Excellence." Women whose work was steadfast, and their beliefs in the impossible become the possible. Women whose strength, love, and dedication to the goal was unrivaled no matter the challenges, both big and small, which uplifted them-role models for those women who would follow and make their own paths of excellence. Roses from the Divine moves the reader to those that fall into the pit of life as in the poem "Walk the Streets," which paints a picture of daily destruction of the soul. A painful reminder of lives that never see beyond the dark, but in their hearts look for a way out, but life may not show them a way out until the final darkness closes their soul of hope. In Roses from the Divine, the poet reaches out and reflects on individual encounters, friends and passersby, observations of nature's mystery, and those individuals touched by the divine. Finally, we reach the "portal of time," where all of us individually must go and step through the portal with the realization that we look into infinity with our individual souls that reflect "I am." May all of us reach the portal of time knowing that we gave this life our best.
Download or read book Black Rose written by Marquita Q. Leary and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Black Rose" is a very sentimental and lovely poem collection, giving facts about life and lifestyles for younger and older African-Americans.For years, I thought that being African-American was a curse…I lost respect for who I was - inside and out. I wanted to be like the majority, which was the in-crowd. I lost sight of who I was and where I belonged. Many young African-Americans are afraid to be themselves. They always have to impress someone else daily, but not themselves. I tend to think that society believes that we are very weak; however, every poem presented in this book definitely defines who we really are. We are more than what society portrays us to be. If you will believe in yourself, I will believe in me.Whether it's poverty, adversity, successes, hopes, or dreams to reminisce about, the truth is behind the closed doors of African-American families and those acquainted with trying to oversee their lives. What this represents in the present is a great commitment to so many, who, as our ancestors, have provided strength, ability and change for African-Americans. No one is as perfect as our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As all of his children, no matter what ethnicity we are, we need to all come together as one body as brothers and sisters in Him. “A Rose is a very delicate flower and to be without such a lovely and fervent object of life, you will die if such life is taken away from you. However, when each pedal starts to darken and become black, pedal after pedal may fall, but the life within it will live forever...”
