John G. Nelson Poems

Racism has a human heart,
An artery of cruelty and death,
It has the blood of anger and evil…,
Has a force of pains and hostilities.
...

Everyday, decision ‘ re made
love can become choice we make
Everyday, true loves ‘re saved
Honesty and realities do wave
...

A beautiful butterfly flies high above.
It gracefully emits, warm rays of love.
flies & swings its wings, like a dove.
...

Gray-headedness is a wonderful crown of beauty
Wisdoms I have accumulated, I embraced my dignity
One birth, one youth and one old age, I have enjoyed
This wonderful life, I have eked out, I now sit to rejoice
...

The love of a woman is killing me.
My heart is inflamed, it is craving.
poisoned by a potion of sweet love,
and blinded by sweet lips & kisses,
...

Dear sweet mother,
I thank & bless thee, oh dear mother,
So much love, can’t compare to another,
I recall thy love, hugs all thru the night,
...

An aging soul, silent nights & seasons
How we count days, amount just a few
And fight against the judgments of time.
To extend, stretch the brevity of life.
...

I hear the whine of my dying brothers
Yon’, I feel pain of my crying sisters.
we Sat all night at prison doors & wept
Like soldiers, whose eyes haven’t slept.
...

I can’t explain, trees, stars & lights,
The winds that blow north & south,
But I can tell the reason, I love you,
Pretty, lips, glorious eyes & kinds.
...

If you were here with me
I kiss lips; moisturize them
I kiss tears & pains away
I saturate heart with love
...
