Among the Bodies

by Jerome Hambrick

Among the bodies of the humid night
Are brave souls left to fight
These are the ones they couldn’t save
The steaming jungle shall be their only grave
Snuffed out by lords of war
There’s one left to even the score
Pushing her way up through the walls of flesh
She goes on to face the final test
Taking what weapons they left behind
She salutes to her friends one last time
Finding their village that very night
She prepares herself for the final fight
While inside they’re having a feast
She rushes in attacking the beast
Shot by one, the only that survived her raid
Pulls the pin of her last…grenade.

A minute of silence for the foot soldiers,
A moment of triumph for all our brotherly fraternity
All an incarcerated entity.
I feel you Jerome Hambrick, I Love your work Wamuhu,
It feels like I want to pop a grenade inside my mouth and pull the pin.

Top $$ Sister.

Must I Choose?

I am torn, conflicted between one who is beside me and one that should be, I cannot decide. She is my anchor, speaks the words that comfort my heart. The other teases me, a fun loving heart they both make a perfect woman. But I must decide. Must I choose? She bats her eyes and I die, the other winks and my knees give way. Must I choose? She makes my heart faint with longing, The other cherishes me beyond what I can imagine, they both fill my heart with joy. If I part with her, I will die. If the other leaves me, my soul will be robbed of light. Must I decide? They both are the perfect woman. ~ Pandit. And so continues the emotional binge. Image: Diver From Beneath by Petr Kratochvil

La Morena and her... Negroe

by Jerome Hambrick I could have used your company last night Could have talked or had a tongue and kitty fight And no, I'm not all right Until you come over and fix my plight Had a most stressing day And was looking towards some one on one word play Your presence is enough for me I drink you in and perspire glee I remove you from your pedestal And return you back... your love gently bruised No matter the path I find beneath my feet I sense you just over my shoulder hovering, lovingly I enclosed you in our love knowing your fear of small places That defenseless look... could almost taste it And I know it's sick but seeing you that way turns me on But understand my illness will do you no harm My nature rages to overwhelm and break right through But I would turn tide on myself before it turned on you Because you loved me and you knew I wasn't right And for that I'd kiss your feet or risk my life You see the world needs more people like you...
