The Hell Within Me by C.b. Roberts

The Hell Within Me by Mr. C. b. Roberts




Not your average poetry. These are stories—stories from the heart and soul.
The Hell Within Me is a collection of extremely emotional and heartfelt poetry that many can relate to.
The contradictions and play on words bring new life to the stanzas as they leap off the pages and tug at your emotions.

Crimson Lyrics by C.b. Roberts

Crimson Lyrics
by C.b. Roberts

If you’ve ever experienced the pain of unrequited love or the heartbreak of giving your soul to the wrong person, this collection is a must read.

Crimson Lyrics is the second collection of poems by master poet, C.b. Roberts. He rivals Poe with his use of metaphors and contradictions, sucking you into the vortex of dark, angry, confused longing for unreturned love. The way he goes from absolute acceptance to complete refusal to surrender in just a few stanzas, astounds me. Just when you think you know where he’s going with a poem, he kicks you in the heart with an ending you didn’t see coming. All of them affected me in some way, especially Escape, Lament, and Shackled. But the title poem, Crimson Lyrics, gutted me, and Tonight completely destroyed me. This is not a collection for the faint of heart as there is no happily ever after. But if you’ve ever experienced the pain of unrequited love or the heartbreak of giving your soul to the wrong person, it is a must read. 5 Stars!

"Blood on your hands" - poem by Ben Burgess Jr, author of Monster


My blood is on your hands. I appear darker through the lens of your Ray-bans. Since I'm in your neighborhood wearing a hood, you assume that I'm up to no good. I'm black so you hate me, you chase me, I fight back and you shoot me for "safety". It's just fine and dandy to kill me over candy. I laid there lifeless without a sound, while you claim to have stood your ground. My death won't be in vain. You might get off free for killing me, but you'll experience pain for me being slain. I can't take any more of the bs in Florida. They let off monsters like Anthony and Zimmerman, showing the world that it's ok to kill young men. Remember my face when you go to another place, and they don't treat you right because you're not completely white. Remember my name, if someone follows you and does the same. Remember my blood on your hands and I hope my image comes to you clearer. Remember my blood on your hands when you look in the mirror.
