Throwback Poetry - UNTITLED

Posted on 07. Apr, 2010 by Broadband in Education, Poetry

My black ball point intimately kisses the page and I watch the ink flow.
From left to right my disgruntled face struggles to understand this rhythmic pattern that seems to be emerging of its own free will.
Perfection knows no boundaries as my mind dips deep into the thoughts and fears I feel yet never knew,
Word by [...]

Poetry: In Dreams

Posted on 03. Jan, 2010 by Cheryl Frances in Education, Poetry

In dreams I walk with you…
In the park; fragrant fresh grass, radiant flowers in bloom, cumulus clouds…freedom.
On the beach; free flowing tides, luminous horizons fading to the iridescent moon…reflection.
In life; spiralling scenarios, clocks tick, happy days…forever.

In dreams I talk with you…
In easy conversation; good vibes resonate, heightened intonation, facial animation…exhilaration.
In therapy; stress dissipates, fears diminish, [...]

Throwback Poetry: A Thin Line Between Love & Hate

Posted on 21. Dec, 2009 by Broadband in Education, Poetry

There’s a thin line between love and hate they say
How’s that possible if they’re opposites we say
It’s true, coz you must love someone to hate them he says
Nah bruv, that’s not logical I say
Leon think about all the people you truthfully hate he says
I’ve thought about it what’s your point I say
Now is that person [...]

Poetry: Multi-Syllable Criminal

Posted on 29. Nov, 2009 by Broadband in Education, Poetry

Description: 6′8 mixed race; Police have distaste for his face, he’s labelled a mixed-race shit face, whose morals are misplaced and a disgrace to his race, they vow to handle his case and put him in his place
I wouldn’t take this from these racists but lets face it, the guy’s a rapist who takes kids, [...]

Poetry

Posted on 10. Nov, 2009 by Natasha C in Education, Poetry

I sit here alone and wonder why,
I see people suffering, broken and wanting to die,
its a harsh truth which we face every day,
that this life is to suffer we’re not here to stay,
in my room at night I cry out to God pleading from my soul to see a ray of his light,
to see his [...]

Poetry: In Search Of..

Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by admin in Education, Poetry

In Search Of,
Unanswered questions,
That stand the test of time,
Maybe in the next life time,
I’ll have someone to call mine
In this crazy journey called life,
My chosen place,
Has no resting destination,
I need to find the pace,
To rest this ailing heart.
I’m going around in circles,
Retracing the footsteps.
I’m trapped in this cycle
Of understood misconceptions
I’m travelling through emotions
Of distant relations.
I [...]

Poetry: SHE

Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by admin in Education, Poetry

She is.
the girl that looks at you
Tiger eyes
Jaded heart.
Seduction.Destruction
She hides her flaws
the claws
of a panther
The deeper she goes,
The more you bleed
Purity flows from her mouth
But Her words, Her words
her woes, the sorrows,
a vivid visage
of her sins,
sordid sweaty scenes
Weeds,
poison she sells to your soul
And you buy it
Because
She promises
To make you a man
She claims to know you
But [...]

Poetry: The “Plight” Of A Black Man

Posted on 13. Oct, 2009 by Broadband in Education, Poetry

The Innocence bestowed in a newborn is overshadowed by the guilty pleads of it’s emerging haters,
The child of colour is ironically simplified as a figure of darkness by a few the day it is born,
Not their fault, they are catapaulted into a world where obstacles are made harder because of the colour of their skin,
The [...]

BLACK HISTORY MONTH (Poetry): Moment In Time

Posted on 06. Oct, 2009 by admin in Education, Poetry

Written By Caroline Gbolade
I am the weeks, I am the months, I am the years that have gone by. I am the days, hours, minutes, and seconds, that each day beckons. I am my fore fathers and my ancestors, whose memories will live on throughout my soul a story be told, of a moment in [...]

Poetry: Father Figure

Posted on 05. Oct, 2009 by Broadband in Education, Poetry

I Figure a Father Figure is one who does more than bring home Further Figures. In Fact A Father Figure is A Figure of speech; for fathers unlike our forefathers have the power of four fathers and so are more than just one figure.
I Figure a Father Figure is determined by the two definitions of [...]
