Elegy to Black Diva

Elegy to Black Diva is a series of poetry that is a journey into the many phases of love gained, lost and sought after. Written by author Sam Tatum, it is a grand voyage of emotions that can only be fully appreciated by reading and submerging yourself into the mind of a true romantic. Elegy is a book for lovers that can be read alone, enjoyed when read together and definitely to be shared.



Elegy reads like a song with the music rising out of the heart. Prepare to fall in love with fantasies that can come true.




A pearl sparkling in a rippling stream under the noon sun.

The sound of the wind as it brushes the surface of the ocean.

The softness of a babys breath.



All of these are your name.



In my mind, you sit atop my thoughts.



In my heart, you rest easy on the lulling beats.



In my eye, you consume my vision.



And my ear hears nothing but your voice calling my name.
