POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi everyone. I'm an author from Jamaica. I write poems, short stories and songs.
A Complicated Marriage
I know that you’re a confident woman.
You said nothing can make you stop loving me,
And the way you feel about me won’t change.
Cara, I have something to say to you.
This will prove whether you mean it or not.
I’m in a complicated marriage.
I wanted to tell you this before,
But I didn’t want to risk losing you.
I want us to continue seeing each other.
We have such a good relationship.
And I couldn’t let the truth ruin our lives.
I really hope you understand the situation.
Cara, your countenance has fallen.
You’re not...

A Few Polite Words
I could’ve walked past you without saying hello.
You didn’t have to respond to my greeting.
Other admirers also said hello to you,
But you found my approach more pleasing.
I greeted you with a few polite words,
And we enjoyed the moments that followed.
I could’ve said I had to go and dampen your enthusiasm,
But we were having such a good time.
It was a lovely evening and you knew how to dance.
We wined and dined when the moon came out.
If you hadn’t stayed at the party a few minutes longer,
I wouldn’t have met a nice lady like you. ...

My Spanish Girlfriend
Two weeks ago I ran into a Spanish girl on the beach.
She’s a native of Guantánamo, Cuba.
The problem is that she speaks a foreign language.
How do I say “you’re beautiful" in Spanish?
I also want to tell Ramona that I like her smile,
But I don’t know how to say it.
Although we don’t understand each other when we speak,
She’s in love with me and I’m in love with her.
We write the things we want to say and translate online.
I wish I could speak Spanish fluently.
We can hardly communicate with each other.
She doesn’t know how to...

Don't Let Me Go
An atmosphere of love surrounds us tonight.
Kira, your love is like an unbreakable shackle.
Your alluring countenance entrances me.
And your charm firmly holds me in bondage.
Embrace me as if you don’t want to let me go.
Your love is warm as the heat of summer.
Darling, I tremble when you kiss my lips.
The fire of love in my heart will not go out.
Leap into my arms with fervour, my beauty.
Waltz with me outside in the moonlight.
Now is the right time to experience ecstasy.
Don’t let me go before the night is...

You Want Me Back
For Shay
Hello, good night.
Am I hearing correctly?
I’m doing fine.
Yes, I know to whom I’m speaking.
You’re not good at disguising your voice.
It still has a sweet, babyish sound.
How are you, Shay?
I haven’t heard from you for about two years.
What do you want?
Are you pregnant for that fellow?
Why are you calling me now?
Something must be wrong with you.
You couldn’t possibly miss me.
It’s too bad if you’re having second thoughts.
You want to come back.
What do you expect me to do? ...

Will You Still Treat Me Lovingly?
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
At first I showed no interest in you,
But now I desire the touch of your lips on mine.
I embarrassed you in front of my friends.
And I acted as if you weren’t good enough for me.
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have rejected you.
Can we see each other sometime?
Let’s go back to the beginning and make things right.
Start by pretending you just met me.
Tell me I’m beautiful or something sweeter.
Say I have a great smile and you like my hairstyle.
Just ask me out on a date again,
Forget that I...

Our Love Affair Went Wrong
Honey, what’s happening to us?
Things were okay when you moved in with me.
We had a wonderful relationship.
The first two year we ignored the problems.
After that, everything started to go badly.
Now you and I don’t get along well.
We can’t converse peacefully.
Every day we shout at each other.
We don’t make love often anymore.
It’s so uncomfortable with you in the house.
And you feel uneasy when I’m around.
You’ve become a spiteful woman,
I can’t put up with this situation any longer.
We’d be better off...

I Wanted You To Learn From Your Mistakes
For Shay
I knew you long before you met that young fellow.
You said that you loved me more than him,
But you couldn’t continue the relationship with me.
We started something that wasn’t workable.
You adamantly wanted my love and attention.
I told you that I was living with my girlfriend,
But you didn’t want to share me with anyone.
I didn’t know the right way to handle the situation.
You wanted me to choose you over her,
But I couldn’t do that because I lied to you.
The woman who I told you about was actually my wife.
You...

I Love You Hopelessly
I’m not the first person to lose true love,
And I’m not the first fool to weep.
Here in my silent room I’m lying on my back,
I'm touching the darkness that surrounds me,
And I'm wondering what the hell I did.
Your loving arms will never hug me again,
So I’ve decided to love you hopelessly.
Darling, I cried until my eyes ran dry,
I just can’t shed any more tears for you.
My optimism is gone, but my love remains.
I love you hopelessly and I’ll never stop.
I can’t fully describe my self-reproach.
Why did I leave you...
And I’m not the first fool to weep.

I'll Understand
For Normalyn
Baby, wait for love and it’ll come to you.
Don’t hurry because it’s not too late.
If you’re hurt, don’t be ashamed to cry.
I’ve been thinking about you since we met.
Make a wish and you can touch the sky.
If you were mine, I wouldn’t say goodbye.
Talk to me, baby, and I’ll understand.
Reveal the feelings that you’re hiding inside.
Make me yours and I’ll make you mine.
If you don’t love me, don’t lead me on.
Just talk to me, baby, and I’ll understand.
If I break your heart, I know you’ll sigh.
And...

I Sit Here and Write the Blues
A month ago she cursed me and walked out the door,
Yet it feels as if she’s been gone for many years.
Now that our relationship is over, I love her more.
And thinking about her brings me so much pain.
Why didn’t I show appreciation for her love and kindness?
She took all the photographs of her from the album.
And every night since she left I sit here and write the blues.
I’m not ashamed to say how much I miss her.
It saddens me when I imagine her with another man.
And that’s the worst thing I’m going through.
