A Black History Month I'll Never Forget

The moment I learned that my novel, Blood Kin, A Savannah Story, had made the top five on ESSENCE Magazine’s Best Seller List for Paperback Fiction, February 2008 became one of the most fantastic Black History Months I could ever hope to celebrate. Then I had the incredible honor of meeting the magazine’s former editorial director and… Continue

Mountains To Climb







There is nothing I cannot do,

my life now inspired by you,

Mountains align the horizon,

all within the reach of my hand,

With you in this world I'm in,

life's easier to understand;



Once a captain upon a sinking ship,

I yearned long for the shore,

Then, my dreams began to slip,

down to the ocean's floor;



With you in my life now

there is nothing I…

If I don't come home

If I Don't Come Home



If I don't come home

Don't miss me because I'm gone

Miss me because you didn't know me

when I was home

If I don't come home

Don't miss me because you didn't love when you could

Miss me because you didn't love me

like you should



Am I still that little boy

daydreaming in the back of the class

wondering what life is really like

in T.V. Land

Am I that tall, dark and hansome

or the strong and… Continue

He danced with her

He danced with her,

someone who was trying to dance away a sad goodbye..



He danced with her,

soft caring hands turning to silk,

her jarred, sandpaper skin.



He danced with her,

his love unraveling the rivets in her heart,

a heart that she could not give to another,

a heart that she could bear to let part.



He danced with her,

and embraced her, melting away her fear,

calling her dear, bringing her to state of sweet… Continue

Hawk

HAWK





Perched on a telephone line

the feathered king surveys his kingdom.

Invitations, regrets, congratulations,

busy syllables tumble

through the grasp of his claws.

Everyday gossip, frantic reminders,

happy birthdays, angry words,

it’s all the same to him.

The hunter’s wings unfold

as businesses spit out urgent messages

and lovers whisper their private words.

His shadow scythes across the meadow;

animals dodge and… Continue

The Midnight Hour



by Amber "Vivianna" Moonstone

02/20/08



It is the hour of awakening,

Midnight under the full moon,

spilling exotic beams

of brilliant light.



Tender is the sound

of your voice,

as gentle as a summer's breeze

and fluid as the running brook.



When daffodils bloom

and tulips converge

spring will be time

for new awakenings!



Rebirth and… Continue

The Poet Who Would Be President

(Obama photograph by Annie Leibovitz )





Watching the NBC evening news on Sunday (Feb 24, 2008) I was more than a little shocked when a critic of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama stated that Obama had no chance of winning against the Republicans in his bid for the White House for this reason: “He’s a poet, not a…

Satin skin

Satin skin

when satin settles to sand underneath the skin,
and all the world seems to fade to dim,
I shall face my own skin,
under the light of my own heart,
never to be torn apart.

and when I come out the dark tunnels other end,
I shall look out to see you, my faithful, mysterious friend.

Let us hope...

Let us hope...





Let us hope for the heart of ash,

that fell off the edge of a terrible dream.



For that heart that felt the punctuation of gunfire that day,

when a child's had took a gun, and made it into play.



Let us hope that ashen heart turns to ash for the growth of a new heart,

a new heart that in another life will from violence and hatred depart.



...Let us all hope for a bright new day,

when children don't use guns as… Continue

God came to me in a dream today

God came to me a dream today, said what is wrong,

why are wiping tears?



Oh God...I'm wiping my fears with wiping these tears.

Don't worry my child, I'll wipe those tears,

wipe away the fears of the years,

simply bring your heart to me, for it to me endears.



Alright God, I will bring my heart...just promise it won't be broke.

No my child...your heart is the one thing that won't be broke,

for my gentle love with it I will… Continue

An army of loves verse

What were the first words I uttered to thee?



Lovers usually don't remember their first words,

though later they may mutter "I shall lovest thee for eternity."



I think back now to my love in its infancy,

and if I coulds't be borne on the wings of time,

I wouldst say to thee, as my first words "May I hold thee in loves ecstasy?"



In time, I hath compared thee to the ruddy cheeks of cherubs,

and though their glow doth seem most fair,

to the… Continue

Darkness and Light

Darkness and Light



Nightmares creep at a petty pace,

past the caution of the skin,

where does life end,

where does the nightmare begin?



Anxiety fills the air like smoke,

in a world that is hurt and broke,

as the egos of countless gods man does stroke.



So where does death end, where does life begin?

when is virute vice, and goodness platitude and sin?



Where does good speech end for the orator of truth?

Where does… Continue
