Benjamin Age

Wonderful woman
I just can't but wonder
How much I've come
to love her.
...

don't look far off, at this time
in rue the world is taking
on its grime
with moral and goodness lost in time
...

Your eyes, like stars of sky
illuminates my darkest of nights
giving light to tartarian gloom
of my heart.
...

PLEASE
Let me get what I want
I thought I gave you what
You asked.
...

when i heard;
i mean,
when they told me
you were dead,
...

My Africa, my home
As I cast back my mind
To days before I left
Before you left me impotent
...

I told you I was in love,
But you laughed and
Laughed and laughed.
.
...

How I loved Esther
She is my beautiful eagle
But she doesn't find time
for us to mingle.
...

To my academic friends
Who left with me,
.
They walk in the wells,
...

I thought
We were equal,
Magdalene and I
With thesame years
...

Death alone kills off the warmth
To be or not to be without love.
Death alone has turned the coldest
Of all hearts toward a maker, a God.
...

Do not curse this day
I have become bearded
Still not yet a sage
As some would say
...

Please don't leave without a kiss;
I want to plant it on your lips.
My arms around your hip;
O' my love can you feel the heat?
...

Men in chains
In malady of the age,
Bigots in rage
Worshippers lie in state.
...

Lay your life in mine
My love,
Humans we are,
But love brings
...

There was a moment in my life
That I saw a light
Like beam from a star
falling down
...

O' water maiden!
Nobly born of the sea
In your world
Nothing is used agaist thee
...

Singing for love;
Every time you look up
Birds chirping in love's delight
Is made for your own design
...

At night she hawks;
Her pride hidden
Between her thighs.
And I desire her.
...

Everyone wants happiness
But friend do you share
A little kindness
.
