Dis poetry is like a riddim dat drops
De tongue fires a riddim dat shoots like shots
Dis poetry is designed fe rantin
Dance hall style, big mouth chanting,
Dis poetry nar put yu to sleep
Preaching follow me
Like yu is blind sheep,
Dis poetry is not Party Political
Not designed fe dose who are critical.
Dis poetry is wid me when I gu to me bed

It was a time when they were afraid of him.
My father, a bare man, a gypsy, a horse
with broken knees no one would shoot.
Then again, he was like the orange tree,
and young women plucked from him sweet fruit.
To meet him, you must be in the right place,
even his sons and daughter, we wondered
where was papa now and what was he doing.
He held the mystique of travelers
that pass your backyard and disappear into the trees.

Now can you see the monument? It is of wood
built somewhat like a box. No. Built
like several boxes in descending sizes
one above the other.
Each is turned half-way round so that
its corners point toward the sides
of the one below and the angles alternate.
Then on the topmost cube is set
a sort of fleur-de-lys of weathered wood,
long petals of board, pierced with odd holes,
......
No, love is not dead in this heart these eyes and this mouth
that announced the start of its own funeral.
Listen, I've had enough of the picturesque, the colorful
and the charming.
I love love, its tenderness and cruelty.
My love has only one name, one form.
Everything disappears. All mouths cling to that one.
My love has just one name, one form.
And if someday you remember
O you, form and name of my love,

Our wedding ring is an emblem of our true love
A gift that we attached to a vow
Our two hearts promised to be loyal and true
Living each day in the now.
A forever, no beginning and certainly no end,
It is the circle of our ring that we must defend!
Endless love is what we both agreed
So why should we take our wedding rings off
......
How much do you love me?
My darling, my love
Cuz lately, you've been
all that I think of
How much do you love me?
All the way to the stars?
And all the way down,
to the bottom of your heart?
......
Tucked away in the corner,
in the slowed-down dead of night,
the lovers cuddle closer
away from any light
His arms wrapped round her waist
so steady and so slow
The embrace is filled with so much love
Love that only these two know
......
Breathe, my darling
Stay here with me- right now
The noises in your head
I’ll help you tune them out
For now, you’re safe
Nowhere you need to go
For now, you’re mine
I’ll love you, soft, and slow

Yes, we will be apart,
But we will still be one.
When you go to sleep,
Just send me the sun.
It will carry your message
Across the seven seas.
I will miss u a lot,
Will u miss me please
