POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
From the depths of the soil in this fertile land I rise and I shine through only to pour out my feelings to you.
Bold Villains
The world is vastly changing,
The villains are winning cause,
Villains don't wear masks no more,
they don't hide in the shadows
they come straight to your door
look you right in face
and call you,
Friend.
You won't see it coming
cause you're blinded by pretense.
The fake smile on their faces'
the offered, 'helping hand'
Best not tell your problems
to the one who think they could solve them,
They cry with you then laugh behind you,
Always there but never there when you.....
It's like you're...

Trust Issued not Issues
Trust is a wonderful feeling,
Trusting and being trusted
Is everything,
When I trust
I trust whole heartedly
I'll trust you with every bit of me
Until
You give one reason for doubt
Then trust becomes the enemy.

Montserrat The Emerald Isle
Sweet little Caribbean vibe,
Rich with pride
From cassava bread
to coconut dumplings
Beautiful Emerald Isle
Watched Soufriere Hills volcano kiss the sky
She ruptured, fire before our eyes,
Ocean floor to shoreline,
Preserve this land which is mine,
Reducing pollution,
Recycling debris
Protecting this Emerald City
Steel-pan drumming,
Masqueraders parading
The street's festivity,
Such freedom exude
As culture expressed by
The local dances and...

Failed Love Harmonized
Hollow stand
Framed house
Brick walls
Where we once danced
Fragrance of romance
One final glance
It is no more
The day you walked out the door
You took my time into your hands
Failed a love that had a chance
Although I prayed to God you stayed
You paved your path a different way
I stand here
I dance alone
Within the walls we called our home
Rooms filled with the scenery
Of love and what love should be
I listened to soft melody
Of the promises you made to me
And into...

Single Mother's Story
A lot of you may begin to judge me
When I tell this, my story
of a mother who loves deeply
maybe with too much sincerity.
I have two kids
two different dads
I did not predict life to be this way,
Yet I'm thankful for my boys every day.
I work hard, I don't play,
I'm single
I must say.
I was sheltered in my younger days
First chance I got, I strayed.
I met the man I thought was the one,
So rough edged and daring.
spent sleepless nights wondering,
where he was and what she's...

Flatulence
Ooo that bubbling inside,
Ooo that scent I try to hide,
Sufficticated woman
rich with pride
I farted
now ashamed, I smiled
But if I don't
I'd probably die
From gas build up
Within my side.

Men of the Soil
He looks to the ground
Where ever he walked,
He smile at the jokes meant for his laugh.
He doesn't cry but you can see it in his eyes
He pains inside
There is no telling whats on his mind
When all he says is, " Honey I'm fine"
Women, don't patronize him,
He has feelings to,
Just be supportive of your man
He will see it through.
Remind him you are there
Don't just say it,
Be there!
Remind him that you care,
And if he needs a shoulder to cry on,
You'll share,
Remind him that he is strong
Even...

Addicted To My Addictions
Hello, my name is self-conscious
And I’m an addict,
They say the first step
To conquering my addiction is by
Accepting it.
I do not have a problem
Least I don't think I do
Yet everyone feels obligated to solve them
They say, “you're hurting you”
The decisions I make
My mind tells me not to
Most times I know the outcome
But for benefit of the doubt I still do.
Making unhealthy decisions, no constraint
I allow people into my life
Although I know
some mean no good
I do not guard my heart and my...

Unfinished Business in 2019
I took a step back to observe what’s around me,
I see postings of new year resolutions for 2020
Friends but not my friends talking about,
"I wanna be a better me"
When the hell did we leave 2019?
2020, I'm not even ready.
Am I the only one who feels that time has passed them by
With a pause on thoughts for the future life
have I no more dreams to follow
have I no desires,
no plans,
aspirations?
Of course I want to be a better me,
I've been trying all year. ...

Not Wrong But Strong
Why does society try to define us
Why do we let it confine us
mentally,
To the things they classify as the norm
and if we go against it we're wrong?
No more of this backward
mental slave thing,
1865 abolished slavery.
We rise and take charge of our lives
and our minds
We don't just survive
We thrive
Its the reason we're alive
Our freedom is the legacy to our
Great and our Grans
When we leave this life
it's them who take over this land
Teach them its okay to have their own plan
Its okay to be...

Sleep Little Angel
You would be seven now .
I imagined you'd look like me
with a little of your dad maybe.
I still remember your little toes
and that cute button nose.
Every day feels like yesterday,
time has swept no pain away.
How special you were
in your own tiny way.
The emptiness consumes me,
Nothing fills the void,
of having everything going for you
then suddenly its destroyed.
Heart beating
so fast
so loud
deafening
i'm awake now,
why am I still dreaming?
you are no longer here,
life...
