Hug Your Teddy And Go To Bed
For Stacy-Ann
Do you still have the old teddy bear that you kept on your bed?
You would sleep with it every night because you loved it so dearly.
Nobody could come between you and your teddy bear except me,
So you must shed tears on your pillow and dream about my love.
I hear the chirping sounds of crickets on the ground, my baby.
Perhaps where you lie down tonight you can hear them too.
Even though you are not here, I still feel the presence of your love.
And I visualise your face in the stars that twinkle brightly above.

I Am Not Sorry
Maybe it is wrong to fix my gaze on you,
But I am not going to apologise for staring.
I do not often see fascinating women such as you,
And I am not sorry to love you at first glance.
It feels slightly improper to want your love so badly,
But, darling, I am not sorry I do.
I cannot stand next to you and not tell you hello.
You are too conspicuous to ignore.
I just could not walk away and not ask you your name.
And I am not sorry I introduced myself to you.
I admire your modesty and your good posture,
And so I am making an impulsive...

My Final Appeal for Your Love
Darling, this is my final appeal for your love.
If you’re not the one for me, who else can I turn to?
My youthful days are swiftly passing
And love won’t wait for me.
Happiness may come to me by the end of the term,
But I’m afraid time might not permit it.
I’m advancing in age and my health is fading
And so I’m making my final appeal for your love.
I’ve been around for a few decades
And I’ve seen good times come and go.
To my recollection, I had a brief love affair once;
A pretty but naive woman loved me.
It was a thrilling...

The System
You claim that I do not want to listen to reasoning,
At the same time you never speak the truth.
You do not accept me in your clique because I disagree with your evil schemes.
Perhaps you think I am a slow learner,
But the things you teach are not worth learning.
I do not have to listen to what you say because I can see what you do.
You promote prejudice and stigma in the society.
And you discriminate against poor people.
You are nothing but victimizers, liars, and thieves!
What makes you think I would trust you or believe anything you say? ...

Instigators Of Hate
You covet everything I have and you suppress my ability to achieve.
Selfishness and greed will certainly devour you.
I am the same human being as you are and I have the right to life.
Do I have to die so that you can stay alive and strive?
Are we not able to live among one another in peace and unity?
Is the world not big enough for you and me to live in simultaneously?
What trouble or inconvenience have I caused you?
You despise me so much and you are conspiring to kill me,
But you call out to me for help when your back is against the...

The Love Of A Hebrew Maiden
I took her to the rebels near the bank of the Euphrates River.
She was a fearless and heroic Hebrew maiden,
The daughter of a chieftain of the twelve tribes of Israel,
A slave in a strange land full of sorcery and idolatry,
The prettiest woman among the captives in Babylon.
A Jewess in ragged clothes conspired against the oppressors.
The fetters of the heathens could not break her.
Her name was Gavriella, which means “God is my strength.”
She had borne more pain than any woman has ever felt,
But her unflinching...

For You I Was Living
That faithful day I fell in love with you,
I held a Spanish guitar in my hand.
And the words of a love song ran through my mind.
You cuddled me like a doll.
I kissed you goodnight.
And I felt your heartbeat as you floated away in my arms.
For you I was living.
Yes, I was living only for loving you.
My heart and body were yours when I loved you.
I remember the words you spoke to me.
There was a spark deep in your eyes;
I could see all the love that you had for me.
Darling, we were so close.
So how did we part?
One day...
I held a Spanish guitar in my hand.
And the words of a love song ran through my mind.
You cuddled me like a doll.
I kissed you goodnight.
And I felt your heartbeat as you floated away in my arms.
For you I was living.
Yes, I was living only for loving you.
My heart and body were yours when I loved you.
I remember the words you spoke to me.
There was a spark deep in your eyes;
I could see all the love that you had for me.
Darling, we were so close.
So how did we part?

A Song Of Love
We need a song of love for each and everyone,
A simple song that all nations can sing along.
One man could compose and sing this easy song,
But it would be better if we all sing it together.
So help me to write a melodious song of love,
And make the words come from within our hearts.
Let all interested singers play an active part.
And may the end be as pleasant as the start.
In every land and sea across the earth,
Sing stanzas of love and let your voices be heard.
May every one of us act in harmony with our song, ...

How You Should Love
For All Jamaicans
You talk a lot about love,
Write love poems to satisfy your heart,
Send love notes to the ones that you cherish,
And play love songs on the stereo.
But how strong is your love?
Is love only a scene in a motion picture?
How real is love to you?
You can make love universal.
Mere utterance of love doesn’t mean much.
Offer a helping hand today.
Be courteous and kind to others.
Hug a motherless child.
Treat it as though it were your own.
Do you really want to love?
Would you like to be...

My Last Breath
I’ve searched everywhere for a virtuous love,
Tried everything but couldn’t find it.
I thought such a love didn’t really exist.
And as I was about to call it a day,
I looked across the stage and saw you there,
A peri, beaming and playing the harp canorously.
I came to you with my last breath,
Knelt at your feet and begged for your love.
I saw compassion in your eyes,
I felt the willingness of your hands.
You bent down and coaxed me to get up.
I didn’t try to hide my tears.
You hushed me softly as a mother hush her child. ...

Supernatural Love
For Stacy-Ann
I miss your tenderness and your beautiful smile.
I cannot describe how painful it is to live without you.
How long will tears of sadness fall from my eyes?
My tears will fall until the day you come back to me.
The lonely years have not erased the memories,
And time increases the eagerness to repossess you.
You are in my thoughts every day and night.
Darling, you alone deserve my supernatural love.
I felt your affection from the moment you kissed me,
And I do not know how to stop loving you.
You...

A Copy Of You
Inspired by true events
Is there a copy of you somewhere else?
Yesterday I beheld an unbelievable event.
A woman in a black dress walked in late.
The scent of your favourite perfume instantly filled the hall.
I looked at her, and I literally saw you.
I was familiar with everything about that woman.
Her presence made me want to slip away from the meeting;
I just could not stay inside the building.
You may think I am insane, but I know what I saw.
I almost died from astonishment when she came closer.
