Black skin
her dark cheek
though these tears pouring down her cheek frames a river reaching her feet
she walks on water
though mountains peak
her soul sores over them
she's seen the top
she knows the hurt
embodies the pain
her passion alone sparks the flame
wounds cover her feet
aches fills her muscles
my star she shines
though she walks through the valley of darkness she fears no evil
the steadiness of her pace
the strength of her faith
she will never break
though she falls
Her head to the sky her father picks her back up
alone and view her heritage is her backup
recognized by few
she is the mother
the hopes of a father too
the foundation of pride
the spirit of you
a black woman
my future's past
my first
my last
my everything
the world's queen.

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY Royale jones
Different!I am the difference between fixed it and made it! Asked for and took it! Celebrated or hated! Acceptance or debated! Okay or greatness! Follow or leading! Crazy or reasoning! Pocketed or cut, sweating and bleeding! The road traveled or mountains climbed! Sore sights or purposely blind! Open hearted or selflessly mine! Forged through pain and I can’t anymore! See I made myself less so I could do more! Gave myself more to depend on people less! I could never be you but I understand me; and that’s all I wish to be! Different!  |
My Lord’s PrayerOnly I can change me and lead myself in to the life and man I wish to be. not god man or spirit will do this for me. I single handedly must take the first step and every other step after in this pursuit of higher recognition of life upheld to my standards, With the God within me or to perish walking in the wake of my greatness. I shale take no prisoners in the name of blame for all that I am is all I need to become what I am predestined to be in my own world. For I am god the father of my reality spreading the seed of my dreams and goals and mother to care and nurture them until fruition. May this be my seldom oath carved in my heart mind and spirit and my soul my creators' to keep. I'm thankful for this beautiful life long opportunity and so it is! |

Love isCould you hate me if we never met? Spending countless hours fantasizing about how far we could get Don't these dreams fade through these meaningless arguments, quick flares inwhich I can see the formation of hatred swill in your eyes This is what love is The trapeze act along the hate shooken foundation based upon the need for space This is what it always was, No one speaks of this place They just say corny lines about love being blind, or if its meant to be set it free Open face lies to me Love is holding on when your grip is getting weak Yelling all day then holding their hand across the street Seeing them sick praying for their relief Say no when they say it's okay you can leave Laughing after you cried Understanding the truth after the lies Being okay after theres no more surprise Love is knowing no perfection, creating the happiness that never dies Love is..... |
SoarSoar My condolences The dead silence puts me in a grieving state of mind To blind to glance at my own faults Im enslaved by my own thoughts In caged with grateful lessons of a path no longer walked To complex the simplication of a lover's just Leads me to reach out closer to a familiar rush Over addressing the fine print Because reading between these arbitrary lines is a art none the less Even wise men told lies knowing the consequence No matter how fine Tightroped the skill set for other platforms dangles beauty with finesse For all the fear of falling keep a birds wings from capturing the clouds mist Redundant no But yes we all fall victim to some form of a circumstance The leap is just the beginning! |
Tears to SmilesSo many fears beyond these tears we've cried. hidden beliefs in white lies. Told out of love, but sold out of necessity. No matter how sick this body left me, I drew strength in knowing my spirit grew strong in you. I've seen less than a few that never got the chance to see life through, I taught you to pick up those stones threw, because there would come a time you would have to remember what to do. You fought me hard, and me with you! Now days you can look back, and see how to fight your way through. Now we fight together to better what we knew. Your friend aside from your confidan, I was more than proud of your achievements, I was your mom! Whatever you needed all you had to do was make a call, or embrace these arms. My shinning hearts in the depths of these dark days, your love, our relationships are my sun rays, from a thought of one day, to see you walk or kneel by my side as we pray. Never in my wildest dreams would I have known, I would see this day. I have a grand ... |
Manly colored childTake it as you want it Hate me if you must Love me if you can There's still a boy hidden in a man I'm sorry if I never told you who I am A self indulged loner Drinker turned stoner And I've realized life is as hard as a virgin's boner Who are you to judge You who never seen hate painted so vivid it erases love Solid faith waver from a shove Treated like shh for skin colored like mud Still I slime Ache after every mile Bandage my cuts Wipe my sweat Strive to show forgiveness though remembering all the while My future is far ... |

on the riseFrom my world I grew up in pain slower to catch up or catch on I sat back in shame longed for a specific change wondered why I read slower breathe harder I felt too dumb to be the starter just because I fought hard ran harder became smarter more confident strong willed minus the fabrication wore clothing that matched successful situations addressed problems like neighborhood properties I was as sharp as the details on your tax returns split hairs like damaged ends the damage done was the basis for the strength within I've lifted spirits broken stereotypes made sure you seen darkness shine brighter than anything light product of my environment this broke system left me with hard work and no play remote visions made me take control of my own fate and showed in my face so you knew what I had to say my entrepreneurial spirit is like dairy products so make whey.... |
I amLive beyond self doubts covers will never break the layers of ice around your heart the bruises that appear as you stand prove that you can not be beaten beyond preservation never close your eyes to what you do not want to see because even a blind man sees beauty in an ugly world if you make every person you've met family your home becomes full hearted with questions comes understanding let ignorance be your driving force through fear knowing is what creates battles no less rules and more impossiblities for wisdom is gain with success as much as failure never be afraid to be the you that you hide life is just a memory so make it the best one never forget how to smile.... |
