Lorna Gero Poems

We love you even though sometimes
you don’t deserve it.
We are your friends, your sisters, your girlfriends,
your wives.

His heartaches
his soul whimpers
the look of helplessness
a gasping breath of anxiety.

It was not a message
left from someone for me
or a phone number that I've
been meaning to call.

Lost in the wilderness
on a dark night.
You try to find a
opening where there is light.

I trusted you as I have not
trusted anyone. I confess to you
how I felt and you in return
led me to believe you felt the same.

A gathering of many
woman, men, children.
A spot where they come
to reflect, cry, or share

Getting over you has been
the hardest thing I had to do.
You are what fairy tales call
“a dream come true.”
...

I present to you a woman
who wishes she were not
judged by the color of her
skin and the clothes she wears.

Lorna Gero Biography

At the age of nine I experienced something that no child should ever endure. It was at that time I discovered my gift for writing. I am the only girl in my family with five brothers. My father died when I was thirteen years old and my mother has been my rock. She has inspired many of my writings. I am the mother of a beautiful little girl who has also inspired my new outlook on life. Like many, I write about what I feel and experience and this is my gift to the world. This is my story. LMG)

The Best Poem Of Lorna Gero

To That Black Man

We love you even though sometimes
you don’t deserve it.
We are your friends, your sisters, your girlfriends,
your wives.
You lack what we as black women need
the most, respect.
We are struggling ourselves everyday
as we try to overcome the abuse
we have suffered, the love we have lost
and the “thank you’s” we have seldom heard.
You, black male should be our shelters
from the storms of discrimination, our
shields in the battle of abuse and not the
water in the wells in which we feel
we are drowning.
