Don’t listen to music when on the train.
You’ll find different conversations
Between the rails and humans
Or the silent angers,
Slight annoyance by others
That never escape the heart
Until the train escapes the tunnel
And light rushes in through the window,
Giving the rails much reasons to scandal
Rosetta Stone couldn’t understand them.
But they understood us
Leading our way through the serio-us
Escaping the hole of shadows with glee
Above rivers imitating the sea.
Then anger calms down to a blissful cheer
With the river humming, “Home is near”

Domino Pieces (Part 2)

It reminds me of Home.

Where exclamations did not reach stopping points

Where grown men roared

With growls and excitement stretching for

Ears of neighborhoods behind where the sun sets.

Oh, these men moved mountains

Each time the reoccurring cheers and slams were

Daring

Enough to penetrate dreams.

And the women moved mountains, too.

Whenever whatever stops them

From seeing where the sun rise.

Domino Pieces (part one)

On the corner of Troy and Eastern Parkway,

There’s a hive of Haitians.

Swarming an old wooden table

Skeleted with Domino Pieces

Summoning loud conversations about…

Who knows?
It attracts me Home
It attracts me Home.

Where these old tables are glistened to look new

With skinny metal legs twisting

“I need to pee”

Yet, it still withstood the exhilarating slams

Of Domino Pieces.

Reverberating magnificent melody behind mountains;

An echo that seizes attention,

Ask for respect–your temptation.
It reminds me of Home

“Get Home Safe”

“Don’t tell me what to do” 
“No promises”

But we knew
We would be chained to each other’s wishes.
A care even earth
Has seemed to be loss of words to 
Though it has witnessed
The spectrum of men’s feelings.

Do me a favor: in the comments, tag someone who got their heart broken or has been hurt but they still prevail and they're staying strong . And please don't hesitate to tag males, females AND those who don't conform. . But fr though, whenever I see someone with sharp eyebrows, all I think of is, "eyebrows so sharp they can cut me" . . . #sircharlesthepoet #poetrybycharlesjoseph #beauty #poetry #art #resilient #poetrycommunity #igpoems
Honestly, if it's too cloudy outside then SOMEBODY is probably complaining too much 🤷🏾‍♂️ . . . . . #sircharlesthepoet #poetrybycharlesjoseph #complaints #personalization #poetry #poem #igpoetry #instapoet

Swipe to see the inspiration of the poem. The full piece is below. . . . So you've fallen. Your bones growing weak Flesh vividly sick. But moments ago, you were At the peak of the world Dominating altitudes that the common thought To be too uncommon. You used to rain pride On the bruised will and spirit You used to matter, my black Angel So you've fallen. All your glory has plunged. If failure was the liquid, you'd be the sponge Your wings have exploded into Patches and pieces of memory From a time when "god" was an Understatement Drink your regrets away, my black Angel. Until this serum floods your conscience With beliefs that you're still at glory All you've wanted was to leave a mark On their soul. Fill their hole Until they feel your spark But your glory is no more. As you whither, You possess nothing. But memories of old Take a feather--remembrance And bruise your skin Until the mark is felt On your soul. So you've fallen, my black Angel. . . . Thank you @inkinnovators for making this challenge a thing. Please enjoy. I hope you likey . #sircharlesthepoet #writeblock9 #poetrybycharlesjoseph #angel #poetry #poem
After my performance at @openmicrenegades two weeks ago, someone approached me to tell me that he really like this part of one of the poems that I performed. . I'm just learning that it's "till" and not: 'till. So sorry for that typo lol . Thank you for reading 👌🏾🙏🏾 . . . . . #citykid #citysports #urbanpoetry #sircharlesthepoet #poetry #poem #poetrybycharlesjoseph #igpoetry #love
