Poet Introduction
Hi everyone. I'm an author from Jamaica. I write poems, short stories and songs.
I Cannot Love You as I Love Her
Why do I love my other wife more than I love you?
There is no question that you still love me regardless of the situation.
And I shall not forsake you because I am indebted to you.
I have done more for you financially than I have done for her and myself,
But I just cannot love you as I love her, darling.
I confess I took action unbecoming to a well-mannered person.
Although I proposed to her before you, I married you first.
I could have broken it off before it led to this, but I did not.
Sometimes I want to release you so you can find the...

In My Heart, You're Still Here
I think my eyes are going crazy,
They keep telling me that I’m seeing you.
My ears must be fooling me,
I still hear your sweet voice speaking.
My mind is living in the past;
It has forgotten that you’re gone.
There must be something wrong with my heart,
For it is convinced that we’re still in love.
I talk to you just as I did before,
I set the table for two as if we’re dining together,
And I picture you lying in the empty couch.
Your presence is all over the house as when you were here.
I’d crave you if I...

The Pre-existence Of My Love
I pre-existed in an incredibly remote place outside the universe,
Love was with me, and I was an element of love.
The heavenly realm witnessed the pre-existence of my love.
My love lived on in a state of inertia for aeons
And it was seemingly the only one of its kind,
But I was devoid of pleasure and I knew there was something missing.
It was not the nature of my love to continue alone.
I searched the peripheries of infinity for the other element of love.
I bowed down before the Most High at the portals of heaven,
But the...

You're My Beautiful Rose
Darling, you’re my beautiful rose.
I’m so proud to walk around with you.
You’re the most gorgeous flower of nature.
God created you especially for me.
You enamour me with your charm.
I find good fortune in your touch.
Your beauty decorates my dwelling house.
And your love is a treasure to my heart.
Let me sing a Latin love song for you.
I’ll mesmerise you with my euphonious voice.
Your amiability brings me happiness.
The woman in you excites the man in me.
I get so emotional when I talk about you.
Thank you for...

A Third Chance
I take another lonely walk along the avenue.
On this sad evening, no one’s at my side.
Anxiety fills my heart because I’ve lost you.
I sit all by myself in the park on a bench for two.
Pondering dispiritedly about the past,
Trapped in the shadow of the fantasies we shared.
The cannas near the fountain still bloom.
It feels like yesterday when we sat here together,
But years and distance have long separated us.
Now we’re so far apart from each other.
I can’t concede that my one treasured love is gone.
God knows I try to hold back the...

I Can't Be Just Your Friend
You observed my perpetual sadness
And your curiosity got the better of you,
But you didn’t intend to give more than words.
You texted me on Facebook Messenger,
And you asked me some personal questions.
At first, I was a bit hesitant to respond,
But I gave in because you persisted.
Although you weren’t aware of my needs,
You said you wanted to help me.
I asked you to have a baby for me.
You didn’t take my feelings seriously.
You thought I meant a surrogate mother.
I don’t know why I trusted you.

This Isn't Love
Honey, I can differentiate love from dissembling.
And if this manipulation is what you call love,
I’m afraid you really don’t know what love is.
The sad thing is that I’ve wasted my love on you.
Your love is fictitious as the script of a romantic drama.
When I’m with you, it’s like having a nightmare.
You say you’re concerned about my eudemonia,
But you make my world boring and uncomfortable.
Lately I’ve felt battered and abused psychologically.
I won’t trust you with my vulnerability again.

The Hardest Thing To Tell Her
I-love-you is the hardest thing to say to the miss I secretly adore.
Every time I see her, I tell her the nicest things I can imagine
And hope that she will read between the lines somehow.
Sometimes I lavish her with complimentary lines and quotations,
But there is no other way to say “I love you,” except “I love you.”
Why can I not tell her “I love you” in her presence?
I say it many times when I am alone and she is in my thoughts.

We Must Act Now
For the missing persons and their families
The photo of an adolescent is on the front page of the newspaper.
Another report about a missing student is on the television.
Have you seen any of these persons?
Do you have any knowledge of their whereabouts?
Who is responsible for the strange disappearance of these children?
And whom should we blame for this cruel game?
Babies and teenage girls are primary targets of kidnappers.
Unfortunately, nobody is safe to go anywhere.

Her Love Was Too Good to Be True
For Stacy-Ann
I told her that my love for her would never end.
She knew that I meant every word and I would prove it.
I promised her that I would stay by her side,
And I tried earnestly to fulfil my promise.
I felt that our relationship could go on without consequences,
And she believed that we could stay together for a lifetime.
We imagined that life in fairyland was possible,
But we were only fooling ourselves.
We had a peculiar love for each other,
And this was the only thing that mattered to us.
Life was...

I'm Obsessed with You
For Monique
Would you like to talk to me before you go to bed?
I’m lying down by myself, facing a patch of boredom.
I can’t fall asleep tonight because you’re on my mind.
The only thing I can do is send you some text messages.
I honestly think you’re an exceptionally kind person.
And I want to embrace you and kiss you every day.
I’ve been lusting after you since the first semester.
Sometimes I fantasise about you and me making love.
I hope you don’t mind me expressing my feelings. ...
