POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi everyone. I'm an author from Jamaica. I write poems, short stories and songs.
Superstitious Days
Why make such a big deal of birthdays?
You're happy to be alive every day.
Christmas Day and New Year’s Day aren’t special days,
And neither is Independence Day.
Contrary to what some people claim,
No day is better than other days.
We have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, et cetera.
Can I ask what the difference is?
Payday, heyday, or Memorial Day,
Whatever day comes, it won’t stay.
You can call a day what you may,
Sad to say it’s just another one of those rough days.
When Friday falls on the 13th of a...

My Last Night on the Mountain
The colourful light of sunset drops out of sight.
And the dull shade of night fills the sky.
This is my last walk through the rocky paths.
My eyes will gaze at the fruitful valley below.
I shall sit on top of the white gravestone.
And I shall have silent moments of meditation.
My heart is well at home here on the mountain.
I stare in awe at the magnificent heavens.
And I feel so close to Jehovah, the source of life.
The thin, cool air is flowing through my lungs
While I am humming a sacred melody.

I Can Mend Your Broken Heart
I know that you’ve lost your lover,
But never mind, my dear.
Don’t feel bad because he said goodbye.
It’s not your fault that he’s gone.
You’re not the loser, he is.
There must be a better man for you.
You’re so sad and lonesome,
But you won’t be unhappy forever.
I can mend your broken heart.
Baby, it’s not the end of the world,
You’ll soon find another lover.
You’re pretty, smart, sexy and sweet.
I’d be a happy man if I had you.
Don’t stay in bed all day and pine and cry.
Take the pillow from your face,...
But never mind, my dear.
Don’t feel bad because he said goodbye.
It’s not your fault that he’s gone.
You’re not the loser, he is.
There must be a better man for you.
You’re so sad and lonesome,
But you won’t be unhappy forever.
I can mend your broken heart.
Baby, it’s not the end of the world,
You’ll soon find another lover.
You’re pretty, smart, sexy and sweet.
I’d be a happy man if I had you.
Don’t stay in bed all day and pine and cry.
Take the pillow from your face,...

A Deeper Love
For Stacy-Ann
Darling, do you remember the day I asked you to marry me?
Can you recall the considerable effort I made to get you?
I would have done almost anything to soften your heart.
You made it very difficult for me to persist and wait for you.
It seemed to be an impossible task to get through to you.
The situation was too complicated to handle in my distress.
It took me years to break through the barrier of your heart.
When you finally relented, I did not know how to proceed.
I could not use the opportunity to love you the way I...

Travelling Companion
Hello, pretty girl.
I couldn’t help but notice you from my seat.
Are you travelling alone?
I could use a travelling companion.
Do you mind if I sit here?
You’re so kind, thanks.
Where will you get off?
Oh, you’re going to Montego Bay.
I’m going to Maryland Hanover;
I’ll be spending the weekend with my friends.
By the way, I’m Marlon.
What is your name?
It’s nice to meet you, Sandy.
You seem rather tired
And the bus hasn’t left the terminus yet.
Tell you what, sweetie,
When we get to Mount Rosser,
You...

Please Do It for Me
I’d be deeply indebted to you if you grant my request.
You alone can add the missing happiness to my life.
Even though I know so little about you, your love will do.
And I spoke of the burning love in my heart for you.
Darling, I’ll ask for nothing else if you do what I want.
Take the chance this once and you won’t regret it.
The joy of having a child of your own begins with love.
I wouldn’t have suggested it if you were unable to do it.
You’d satisfy my intense desire if you give your consent.
Trishie, obey your heart, it’s telling...

My Love
My love is so strong,
And it enables me to carry on.
My love is forever,
As long as you and I are together.
My love is patient,
But I cannot wait indefinitely for you.
My love is hopeful,
I wish you would come and share it.
My love is enough for us,
Even if you do not love me as I love you.
My love is growing,
But it will never grow too old.
My love is reliable;
You can always depend on my love.
And it enables me to carry on.

I'm So Glad
You’re more beautiful than other girls are,
And I’m so glad,
I’m so glad you’re mine.
I’m so glad that God made you for me.
And if you need someone to love you,
Baby, my love will always be free.
And I’m so glad,
I’m so glad I love you.
I’m so glad that you gave your love to me.
You’ve saved up all your love just for me.
And I’m so glad,
I’m so glad you did.
I’m so glad that you want to be my wife.
And I’m so glad,
I’m so glad you’re mine.
I’m so glad that God made you for me.
And if you need someone to love you,
Baby, my love will always be free.

Immortal Love
I have an immortal love to share with someone.
My life may last for a hundred years or so,
But my love has no time limit.
The love in my heart just cannot die.
Even after the flesh is gone my love will still live on.
And that is the immortality of my love.
I need a lover that can stay with me forever,
Someone with a love that has no end.
I want something different,
A feeling that I have never felt before.
I mean someone to make my days brighter,
And bring me happier nights.
Spare me from a love that appears and then...

You've Changed Your Mind
For Renae
You weren’t always this bitter toward me.
Things were going so well between us,
But everything is different now.
Where is the sweet girl that I met two years ago?
You were so excited to have me in your life.
I was more than twice your age,
But you weren’t even concerned about that.
In fact, you were very happy with me.
You treasured my photograph so dearly.
You looked at it at nights and in the mornings,
And you took it with you to school.
You even told your mom that I loved you,
And that you loved me too....

My Last Note to You (new version)
For Stacy-Ann
An extraordinary love once bloomed as a flower in morning dew,
But the warmth and vigour of this rare love has finally faded.
The avidness is gone, and dullness has replaced the eagerness.
A forbidden but thrilling love affair is now dead and lost forever.
The bachelorette, who couldn’t avoid touching me, now spurns me.
The heart that used to yearn for love no longer desires my passion,
And the lips that were as tender as infancy have become bitter.
The most beautiful romance has turned into an ugly abhorrence.
...

You Were The Perfect One For Me
I didn’t love you the way a man should love his wife.
And I didn’t appreciate the things you did for me.
You asked me many times if I loved you and I said yes,
But it wasn’t easy to say when I knew I was lying.
I couldn’t show you love because I loved another woman.
You were there for me in my moments of bereavement,
Yet I couldn’t find it in my heart to treat you lovingly.
Nothing was wrong with you; you were a nice person.
It’s just that you weren’t the woman I wanted to marry.
And I didn’t think you were the perfect one for me.
