POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi everyone. I'm an author from Jamaica. I write poems, short stories and songs.
Be My True Love
How does it feel to be loved by someone?
Isn't there a single woman for me?
People everywhere have sweethearts.
I see lovers courting in public places.
Some enjoy the view of the landscape,
Others go to the cinema to watch the movies.
Even adolescents kiss in the shadows.
But as for me, I've always felt left out.
There are so many women that I love,
But I don't know why none of them loves me.
I frequently ask myself this question:
Has love forgotten all about me?
I've never felt wanted or missed.
My heart has been broken...

I Have Nothing to Lose
I must get away from this suffocating environment,
Move to somewhere far away,
Escape from the miserable people around me,
Find a better life in another place,
Effect a positive change to my present situation,
And tackle the new problems that will arise.
I need to explore interesting sites,
Increase my knowledge and understanding,
Meet new friends and associates,
Choose a lady suitable for a serious relationship,
Set worthwhile goals for the future,
And breathe an invigorating air.

I'll Try
I can’t tell you all the nice things you’d like to hear,
But I’ll try to make you happy the best way I can.
I’ll try to be polite and speak to you respectfully.
I don’t even know how to show my feelings for you,
But I’ll try to convince you that my love is true.
I’ll try to satisfy your physical and emotional needs.
I’m not sure if I can spend the rest of my life with you,
But I’ll try to stay with you for a very long time.
I’ll try to provide any reasonable thing you request.
I can’t prevent my eyes from seeing other women, ...

For New Lovers
It was the best decision I’d ever made.
The stroll through Emancipation Park made my day.
You were sitting quietly on a bench,
So lonely and downhearted.
I could have passed you by without stopping.
But I came to you and said, “You look nice, dear.”
You blushed and replied, “Thank you.”
It was then I knew I’d found my treasure.
I asked you, “Do you mind company.”
You said, “No, be my guest!”
I sat with you for a while.
We talked and laughed,
We took photographs of each other,
And we rolled in the grass.
The speed of...

My Mother, My Host and Friend
For Mary Valentine
I have a mother whose love is greater than all the stars above.
At a tender age, she hosted me from an embryo to maturity.
I became the apple of her eyes, her little teddy bear.
It pained her heart so much to see me cry.
She took me gently to her bosom and wiped the tears from my eyes.
The love of my mother I can’t find anywhere else.
How can I ever repay her for bringing me into this world?
She’s the reason I’m so happy, my mother, my host and friend.
Now she’s old and has lost some of her vigour and vim,
But...

Suspicious Feelings
What thoughts come to your mind when I stay out late at nights?
Do you get the feeling that I'm seeing someone else?
You went to the drive-in cinema with your best friend.
I knew that she'd tell you bad things about me.
Brianna, don't be misled by mischievous hearsay.
That busybody is just trying to destroy our marriage.
You keep bugging me about my faithfulness to you.
Sweetheart, did I ever give you cause to doubt me?
You have a sceptical attitude when I give an explanation.
The rose shade on my collar isn't what you think it is.
It's...

She's the One I Want
I need a beautiful lady to love me.
Show me a damsel with an ardent love.
A smart and intelligent lady will do.
If she can put up with my idiosyncrasies,
She’s the one I want to date.
Please introduce her to me right away.
I want someone who can excite me.
Bring me an understanding lady.
And if she knows how to satisfy a man,
She’s the one I’d like to meet.
I say she’s the lady I want to fondle.
If she's respectful, loving and kind,
I’ll offer her my passionate heart.
Now's the time for true love to begin.

Your Unparalleled Love
Honey, I have a regretful longing for your unparalleled love.
You loved me more dearly than any woman has ever loved a man.
Reciprocating your love was a thrilling experience for me.
The afterglow from loving you still enchants my heart.
I cannot erase the constant recollection of your love from my mind.
My heart will not cease mourning the loss of the love of my life.
At nights I dream that you are here, and I stop crying for you.
But it seems that my best dream will never come true.
I shall always preserve this special love for you in my...

Cute, Little Blonde
Cute, little Blonde, I am so anxious to see you again.
You could not imagine the feeling you put in me.
Baby, I fell for you the night I looked in your dreamy eyes.
I bashfully expressed the affection I felt for you,
And you listened intently to all the things that I said.
I have not been myself since the first time we spoke.
Cute, little Blonde, I care for no girl except you.
Every new day dawns, I wake up with you on my mind.
I shall grant you any possible thing you request.
Half the things I own are yours for the asking.
I am prepared...

Careless with Love
Saya is the only woman that I’ve ever truly loved.
I was careless with our love and I lost her.
And I thought I’d never see her baby face again.
Fortunately, fate brought us back together,
But I was still careless with love and I lost her twice.
This time I don’t think I’m going to get her back.
I abandoned her in the south plain a year ago.
Now I’m in the mountainous region of the west.
Two hundred kilometres away from her, I sit and ponder.
She gave me something to live for each day.
Why did I turn my back on someone who loves me? ...

I Almost Gave Up
For Monique
We’ve known each other for almost a year,
And we get along very well at the workplace.
Considering our close, friendly relationship,
It’s odd that you haven’t spoken to me on the phone.
I wanted to know your contact number,
But I wasn’t going to ask you for it.
I felt that you’d refuse to give it to me.
How I wish I could talk to you every night.
I overheard you telling someone your phone number,
And I wrote it down for future use.
I wasn’t eavesdropping on your conversation,
So don’t get mad at me, Monique. ...
