Words of a Poet

I’ll Dream Of You

I’ll dream of you… I must.
I kneel and pray, for time that we can never share
Still, I feel I must.

I love you for reasons… I cannot understand,
you were once mine… all mine.
You brought much happiness to my life, it meant so much…
you mean so much.

For all the days of your life, when you’re lonely,
think of me.
I will remember you always…
With love.

by Antwone Fisher from Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?

Before You

Before you, I felt no reason minute after minute…
hour after hour…

Before you, I seemed no purpose day after day…
night after night…

I knew not the joy a true love could bring
week after week…
and month after month…

Now year after year, you bring happiness a bliss I never knew…

before you.

by Antwone Fisher from Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?

With all the beautiful words, I’ve not yet learned to say how I love you…”I do love you, with all my heart, I adore you truly.”

These perfect days we spend in love have me spellbound. What more is there to life? There is only you. I wish only that we never part… and that I die; before you.

by Antwone Fisher from Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?

Antwone Fisher is a great poet, and one of my favorites. I’ve read his book and own his poetry book. If you haven’t read them I strongly recommend you do.

Who will cry for the little boy?
By Antwone Fisher

who will cry for the little boy?
Lost and all alone.
Who will cry for the little boy?
Abandoned without his own?

Who will cry for the little boy?
He cried himself to sleep.
Who will cry for the little boy?
He never had for keeps.

Who will cry for the little boy?
He walked the burning sand
Who will cry for the little boy?
The boy inside the man.

Who will cry for the little boy?
Who knows well hurt and pain
Who will cry for the little boy?
He died again and again.

Who will cry for the little boy?
A good boy he tried to be
Who will cry for the little boy?
Who cries inside of me
