Write upon my soul
Poems for a broken woman
You are the Poet.








Copyright © 2001 by Joyce Rogers

the poet of abroken woman soul
writes the final chapter.....haiku

gurl u lay it down when u hit !:heart: :kiss:

In the still of the night
I hear you cry out to me
In anguish
Upset at the many trials
Forced upon you by life’s woes
Time and time again
You cry…asking

WHY…

Why must I suffer
Why must I endure this pain
Why must I agonize over the wrongs of others
Why?

Unanswered Questions
Swim in your mist
As you think of this
And other things
Bewildering to you
Black Men keeping you down
By not being true
Black Women pointing fingers
Not lifting you up
No water for a weary soul
Drowning…in an empty cup
No shoulder to lean after a disheartening day
No caress for ages aches untold
No words of comfort that a lover would say
No one to care
No one to hold
…your heart

hopelessly helpless
you feel
as
night
turns
to
day
turns
to
night
trapped in life’s vicious cycle
moving through the passages of time.

BLACK WOMEN…
…I LOVE YOU.

{there are no BROKEN, BLACK WOMEN...only women in waiting.}

writing on your soul
words of wisdom truth and life
now queen, you are whole..

Joyce,
this is meaningful, beautiful, etc...
*haiku classic*

Rich, Rich, Rich! Thank you for your kind comments.
Glad you enjoyed the read. I know of no one else on this board that bring delight to a poet's heart, the way you do. You are so dedicated to the craft of writing poetry and to this forum as a moderator. Thanks for all the hours you put in at this forum each week. Keep dem haikus coming.

Baller: That is a beautiful poem you scribed. I appreciate your poetic response very much. I have always appreciated your sensivity when you scribe. Maybe we can do another duet. I pick the situation this time...how bout it bro???

j'hiah: Truly you have captured the essence of Haiku. I still remember the way I felt when I read the first Haiku you posted. Usually this style takes a little practice before you are able to touch the soul of another. But this was not the case with you...not at all. Keep scribing my brother...I am enjoying every little bitty line.

It is but a moment of fear
when we face the tears
of past indiscretions
the subliminal thoughts
root in our our hearts
bringing the spirit low
have faith in those times
when things aren't so clear
and your mind is racked with
temptation
stay focused on God
take your worries to him
thru whispers in the wind
he'll cleanse you of sin
In his word he promised he would
a broken woman
is just for a moment
to appreciate his will for you
when you give your heart freely
he will never forsake you
just hold on.............hes transforming

a better you.......

Ms. A, thanks for sharing a poetic word of wisdom. I always appreciate your insight.

Mr. J, I look forward to the moment. When you are ready just put a message up on the instant message thingy and we shall go from there.

I would write there if I had the words, but your thoughts are more appropriate to what I might say, if you said them, then I would know what words to write and which words to say to make it right--Amun-Ra
