Juke Box Love Song
by Langston Hughes
I could take the Harlem night
and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue busses,
Taxis, subways,
And for your love song tone their rumble down.
Take Harlem's heartbeat,
Make a drumbeat,
Put it on a record, let it whirl,
And while we listen to it play,
Dance with you till day--
Dance with you, my sweet brown Harlem girl
Love Of My Life
By Mr. Dvyne
Thank you for being who
you are to me
what you are to me
for having the courage to come
this far with me.
Thank you for awakening this love inside
my soul has come alive
to whom does my heart belong?
I don't have to decide
Thank you for giving me the
chance to love you
I'd die for you
I'd have no regrets
because I truly adore you
Thank you for doing all
the things you do
forever be with me, and
I am with you.

One of my favorite Harlem Poets -- and you actually found two poems unknown to me. How'd that happen? Thank you so much for the discovery! I shall truly find cause to use them!
ReplyDeleteCorrection. Only one of the poems is by Langston Hughes I now see. So who is Mr. Dvyne? I surely enjoyed that poem as well. Why not respond? Anybody else out there have thoughts about that one?
