Michael
Dark-skinned boy from Laventille,
you caught me by surprise,
like a shining sapphire stone
spotted at a landfill.
Dark-skinned boy from Laventille,
friendship was all I wanted until
somehow your wizardry weakened my will.
The tender touch of your kindness drew me
while the scent of your cologne confused me;
Without knowing it, you have innocently mastered the art
of making love to my mind to capture my heart.
So much natural and faultless charm lies
in the intelligent twinkle of your dark brown eyes.
The pure admiration in your wistful stare
seems to echo the emotion of how much I care.
Dark-skinned boy from Laventille, a writer I am, but my vocabulary is limited;
my words are few.
For there are no words that can rightly express
how deeply I am in love with you.
