Vince Rogers Poems

Wild
Hot Pants
Take ‘em off
In a Jungle groove
...

Whenever I hold the double bongos,

I can’t resist playing
...

Two hearts join
There is a union
Love is complicated
The transplant is rejected
...

Exotic Coveted
Dancing Prancing Enchanting
I yearn for her
Forbidden
...

World Super Powers

Plotting Earth’s Domination
...

Shiva and Indians? ? ? ?
Hin-du-far-I? ? ? ?
Lion of Judah! ! ! !
Ras-ta-far-I! ! ! !
...

Fresh from my mother’s womb;

new to the world was I
...

I used to be suspicious of the tattoo upon your back;
I thought it might reveal some mysterious code;
But now I get so exited;
Everytime I'm behind it;
...

Nine to the Universe, the Nine Divine
I believe in Muses, Inspire me to dream sublime

Empress Omega, Betty Shabazz, Nzinga all of the Queens
...

she tied a rope to his heart as he endeavored to soar
yet he yearned to take them higher,
even as her feet still dragged across the common ground
soon the weight of it all pulled him ever downward,
...

to Never be afraid
to Never feel lonely
to Always rest assured
to Seek God only
...

12.

hidden away safe

elusive as past promise
...

Grown and Sexy means nothing to me

That li'l smilin' boy is who I strive to be
...

Taught in school to respect 'Officer Friendly' - the People's friend,

yet another Black child's life quickened to a senseless end
...

Young Robert was quite lazy and did much to avoid work

Many hung around him, yet most thought him a real jerk
...

Seeker, poet, priest, Saint John

Musician, genius, addict, Madman
...

This ochred cloth shrouds me with shreds of holy virtue
Yet safeguards me within solitude from earthly sorrows

Dare I lift this veil and test my faith in the furnace? ? ? ?
...

As you stride by, I close my eyes to behold you before you pass into memory

I stare at the sun and your flawless silhouette leaves an onyx impression against the clouds silver lining
...

Weeping joy, babies born

Wailing pain, marriage mourn
...

20.

Longing
James Said it Best
....Nothing without a Girl
It’s Even Hard to Breathe Sometimes
...
