Diary of A Poet

The sun will surely shine again, All our struggles are not in vain, Together we can yield some grain, And from rejoicing we will not refrain, For dancing, our feet we will train Tell me, is suffering our portion, Is this our permanent condition, Someday there will be a solution, For our creator hears our petition, Only him can remedy our position,                                                                     Our sorrows we've overcome, A new dawn has come, We are proud of who we,ve become, A people born of a new dawn, Rejoice, for our redeemer has come Weep no more my people, We finally defeated our trouble, By his power we are hum...

Morning by Paul Laurence Dunbar

  Books, books, books, Them that have become my livelihood, Them that have  helped walk in elegance, Them that gave me wings to fly, That is what guides me through, Today I sit and write, That indeed feels right, Because writing is my right, That which makes me a writer, And that makes me one outright, Whatever that makes me, Not really a philosopher, But a seeker of wisdom, To yearn each day for a new beginning, To write and read books Am glad am a friend to them, Them that are birds with golden wings, Them that help me fly along, To reach for the stars, To touch the sky and feel lifted, To listen to the silent whisper and learn...

  My One True Love, My beloved God- sent, you are to me my one and only true love, my all and my entire self. I can only write just but a few lines describing the feelings in my heart. I cannot wait for tomorrow coz I know not the circumstance of then. However, was I to die then, my last breath will escape my lips with your name! I cannot yet articulate that which my heart communicates with regard to my deathless love for you. I can only try with great but difficult efforts to leave you a picture of my heart. I hope you will still love it though coz necessity dictates so --- you have exulted so much power on it and it is humbled and beats to your rhythm! Surely, we shall soon be together; I cannot communicate my entire heartfelt emotions here coz my heart has a bountiful of things to say to you! Sometimes, it seems better if not spoken, for, God himself will do the rest. I can only tell you that I am thine and you are mine forever! With heart-felt Love,     ...

It is a strange feeling, to love and to be loved, To cry to a stranger in your hardest times, To look into their eyes and say, "You mean the world to me!" This are the things that are unique to me! The sky brightens my day, Your smile makes my heart glow, In darkness, you promise me safety, You walk by me and make me laugh, Even the slightest of jokes are humorous! You hold my hand and touch my heart, You blow on my wounds and take away the pain, You laugh and cry with me! That feeling of your presence is great, 'Coz you boost my confidence! Am glad I have you as a friend, You love me in a way I can not comprehend, In a manner that is most unique, You have taken posession of my heart, And in you, I find a friend so real. You ask for nothing from me, You are exceptional and this scares me, Someday you might ce, And then, you will leave my heart in shumbles, Then, the meaning of love would have been lost!

I rose today and the sky was so dull, I wanted to cry 'coz... The bright sky is my inspiration, Yet, there was a glimmer of hope, You, my next source of my inspiration, The true defination of my very self... Then, I began counting my blessings, There is so much to cry about, But, twice as much to smile about, The enemy that wants to bring me down, A true friend, who takes the blow for me! That is you! I take a sigh of despair, 'Coz success seems so far away, Nature forced me to take two sighs, Sighs of relieve 'coz in you my friend, The end we shall face together, My soul was liberated! My soul exults in the joy of living, The nature of waking up, To see that very smile that warms my heart, And once again, Like yesterday and the day before, You take my hand and say, "You can always do it if you want!"

Room for your thoughts: The place I Belong : "It all feels and sounds like a dream, Each day with surprises of its own, I watch the sun rise and am amazed, My world is far different from ..."
